Representing the West and “non-believers” in the online jihadist magazines Dabiq and Inspire
This article analyses how jihadist ideology groups discursively represent “the West” and “non-believers” in their online propagandamagazines. In doing so, it contributes to the field of Critical Terrorism Studies conceptually, by considering the voices of violent actors, and methodologically, by illustrating how linguistic tools of enquiry can advance current knowledge of jihadist ideology groups. Our work adopts a case study approach, focusing o…
Allen Ginsberg's Blakean Albion
Focusing on a selection of poems written during Allen Ginsberg’s visits to Britain between 1958 and 1979, an attempt is made to show how Ginsberg’s British poetry might productively be read in the context of William Blake’s mythopoetic system, particularly in so far as it relates to the Blakean figures of Albion and Jerusalem. Ginsberg’s poetic vision of a Blakean Albion is revealed to be more complex, and more problematic, than might be supposed…
The Study of Theology
I Wish, in this paper, to say something about the spirit in which theology should be studied. I begin with a quotation for the length of which I must crave your indulgence :This then is a second and not the least pernicious peculiarity of Romanism. It professes to be a complete theology. It arranges, adjusts, explains, exhausts every part of the Divine Economy. It may be said to leave no region unexplored, no heights unattempted, rounding off its…
Newman's Approach to the Church
The first of the Tracts for the Times, published in Sep tember, 1833, and entitled Thoughts on the Ministerial Commission respectfully addressed to the Clergy, was devoted to the proclamation of the chief of those truths which it was the special aim of the Tracts to enforce. 'There are some,' Newman therein wrote, 'who rest their divine mission on their own unsupported assertion; others who rest it upon their temporal distinctions. This last case…
The Prayer of Christ
Let me begin by setting down a passage from the now well-known One God and Father of All, by Eric Milner-White and Wilfred L. Knox (pp. 46, 47): A common argument of Roman writers on the same lines may be noticed here, since it sometimes causes great perplexity. It is said that our Lord in the .great prayer in S. John xvii prays that the Church may be one. This prayer is sometimes described as a ‘creative prayer,’ whatever the words may mean. If …
A Note on the Doctrine of the Holy Eucharist
In an article on ‘St. John’s Witness to the Blessed Sacrament’ in a former number of Blackfriars, Fr. Vincent McNabb wrote as follows: It was no main purpose of St. John to show that the Son of God was a worker of miracles. No evangelist records miracles so sparingly. But it remained for the last of the evangelists to remove the last of the misunderstandings about the Holy Eucharist by recording the transubstantiation of water into wine at the we…
Religious Obedience
Non semper aliquis obedit legi ex bonitate perfectae virtutis; sed quandoque ex timore poenae; quandoque autem ex solo dictamine rationis quod est quoddam principium virtutis (i a 2 ae. 92. 1. 2 m ). It is not always through perfect goodness of virtue that one obeys the law; but sometimes it is through fear of punishment; and sometimes from a mere dictate of reason which is a beginning of virtue
Baron Von Hügel on The Petrine Claims
Towards the end of June appeared a little work entitled Some Notes on the Petrine Claims by Friedrich von Hügel. An intimate friend of von Hügel's was, apparently, thinking of becoming a Catholic, and had received from a High Anglican a letter containing 'a reasoned attack on the Roman position.' Von Hügel set down these notes in answer to this attack. Though written in 1893, they had not hitherto been published. A warm welcome has been given to …
St. Thomas and Dr. Wicksteed
In the last two numbers of Blackfriars we have been considering the use that St. Thomas makes of the New Testament in the Summa contra Gentiles —that is, when defending the Christian Faith against unbelievers. Since writing those articles we have read, for the first time, a lecture in which the late Dr. Wicksteed deals with the same subject. The work of which the lecture forms a part has been highly praised in Catholic, as well as in non-Catholic…
The Letters of Baron von Hugel
The writings that Baron von Hugel gave himself to the public were, no doubt, more important, but they were surely in many ways less interesting, than the volume which has been made up by others from his private letters. The short memoir of sixty pages prefixed to them by the late Mr. Bernard Holland is interesting enough, but it is a commonplace that a man is best known from his letters, and certainly the Baron's letters here given reveal the man…
The Threshing Floor of Araunah
The event in which Araunah's threshing-floor figures is narrated in II Samuel xxiv, and again in I Chronicles xxi. We are there told that, because David had numbered his subjects, 'the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel and there died of the people from Dan even unto Beersheba seventy thousand men.' But when the destroying angel had begun to strike Jerusalem, David saw him, and he humbled himself and confessed his sin. And 'the Lord repented him …
St. Thomas on the Incarnation
There is only one way of making supernatural truths manifest, only one way of showing such truths to be truths, and that is by showing them to be vouched for, and therefore revealed, by God. If they are really truths, before they were revealed, they were, as being supernatural, known to the Divine Wisdom alone, and we can come to the knowledge of them only by getting His word for them and taking them on His authority. Before, then, we can accept …
Christ's Prayer in the Garden
In a useful work on the doctrine of the Incarnation published last year, Dr. Arendzen, speaking of the Agony in the Garden, writes as follows: 'It would be a mistake to regard "this chalice" as the torments and death on the Cross, and to think that He prayed to escape crucifixion and was refused. The Chalice was the agony in the Garden. He asked it to pass away and it passed away.' Readers of this passage would be naturally led to suppose that an…
Renan's Life of Jesus
An English translation of Renan's Vie de Jesus has just been published in 'Everyman's Library,' and Dr. Gore has written a short introduction to it. Both of these facts are, of course, regrettable in themselves. But since, as far as we know, the publishers do not profess the Catholic Faith, and in view of the present state of religious belief in England, we should hardly be justified in protesting against the publication; and as regards the intro…
The Doctrine of the Two Natures in Christ
We may begin by speaking of two books recently published. The first consists of essays on various doctrinal subjects by fourteen members of the Anglican Church. One or two of the essays-for instance, Professor A. E. Taylor's on 'The Vindication of Religion' -reach a high level. Others have little claim to be called either Catholic or critical. The only essay, however, that concerns us here is one entitled 'The Incarnation,' by the Rev. J. K. Mozl…
Did Our Lord Justify his Claim to be God
In Defence of John Donne
Mrs. E. M. Simpson has recently published a study of Donne's prose works. The author of such a study could not avoid giving some account of those ideas which writers on Donne usually label his 'Medievalism.' For no one can read either Donne's poetry or his prose intelligently unless he is fairly well acquainted with what Donne himself calls the philosophy of the 'Schoole.' Seemingly conversant with the whole range of scholastic writers, he had st…
Some Recent New Testament Works
MEDIAEVAL theology allowed itself, by the misuse of dogmatic authority, to obscure the real meaning of our Lord's humanity. The truth came to us in such a book as Ecce Homo, and from countless other teachers, with a fresh thrill of delight. The Gospels and the New Testament have come to live again. One of the most vital districts of Christian truth has been restored to us. But it has been restored to us wholly, or almost wholly, by writers alien …
What is Right with the World
Heavy volumes of commentary and exegesis," we are told of Lord Melbourne in a fascinating book, "he examined with scrupulous diligence; and at any odd moment he might be found turning over the pages of the Bible. To the ladies whom he most liked he would lend some learned work on the Revelation, crammed with marginal notes in his own hand." The Revelation of Saint John, with introduction and notes by William Lamb, Viscount Melbourne, would not be…

The Meaning of Christianity
Changing somewhat the meaning, we may apply to Père Lagrange what St. Paul says of himself: "To the Greeks and to the Barbarians I am a debtor." In his work Le Sens du Christianisme d'après l'Exégèse Allemande now translated into English under the title The Meaning of Christianity according to Luther and his Followers in Germany, he is concerned to show how the effort to create a distinctively German religion, which should be imposed upon the res…
The Song of Deborah
The Song of Deborah is, then, commonly judged -and on good grounds-to be contemporary with the event which it celebrates. At moments of intense feeling, poetry not too burdened by rules, far from being an artificial, is, on the contrary, a most natural form of expression ; certainly at such times it comes readily to the lips of spontaneous peoples such as the Semites. As the occasion, so is the form ; David's grief, for example, over the death of…
