Made by the Hands of God
In his commentary on Psalm 118(LXX):73a, "Your hands made me and fashioned me" (Tract.118Ps. 10.1-8), Hilary of Poitiers provides a unique perspective on the creation of humanity and on its exceptional dignity. I will examine key aspects of Hilary's exegesis of this verse, namely, the identification of the hands of God, the interpretation of the two verbs "made" and "fashioned", and the connections with Genesis 1:26 and 2:7. I will also compare H…

Jerome’s intent clearly to demarcate the difference in nature between human and divine beings is also reflected in his exegetical writings, especially when dealing with Psa…
Urbanism and Its Expression in the African City
In European cities there is a clear-cut separation between center and suburbs. During the Middle Ages mainly the dictates of military strategy brought about the crowding of the population inside a belt of ramparts. Periodically this corset of walls proved too narrow, and consequently suburbs grew up along the roads leading from the city. These suburbs were in turn incorporated into the city, to be protected by a new enclosure, causing the (older …
