David A. Flory Essays in Medieval Studies Page numbers of the printed text appear at the right in bold. page 61 The Social Uses of Religious Literature: Challenging Authority in the Thirteenth-Century Marian Miracle Tale David A. Flory The Marian miracle tale, which proliferated widely during the thirteenth century, needs to be considered within the specific framework provided by social and Church history. Isolated from that intertext, it can seem to be a hopelessly sentimental and doctrinally exaggerated literary form designed to palliate or fascinate a gullible and unsophisticated audience. Claims made in the tales for the extreme even indulgent intercessional grace of the Virgin Mary cannot be supported scripturally and the apostrophic style of many tales can appear idolatrous. Sometimes especially in the work of the thirteenth-century French monk Gautier de Coinci the tales are characterized by an only slightly concealed eroticism and show clear parallels with the amour courtois tradition of the troubadours. At other times, for example in Gonzalo de Berceo's El Clerigo Simple, Mary appears as an enraged divinity, even threatening death to a bishop who has harshly cast out a simple missacantano who was unable to learn any mass except the "missa de la Sancta Maria."

religious literature the Scribe of Saqqara IVth or Vth Dynasty Because religion itself was an important factor in everyday life, religious texts are a major part of Egyptian literature. Secular texts were usually written on papyrus, but most have persished together nwith the liberaries, offices and homes of the officials in which they were kept (except if they were deliberately buried). Instead, religious texts were inscribed on more permanent media, like tomb walls or stelae. Religious texts fall into one of two categories : funerary and devotional literature. FUNERARY LITERATURE These are the oldest texts, and most extensively preserved. They tend to be written in vertical columns of text rather than in horizontal lines (some texts are arranged retrograde, the signs facing the end of the text rather than its beginning). Let us discuss them chronologically : 1. The Pyramid Texts : Old Kingdom This is a collection of rituals and magical texts in hieroglyphs inscribed on the walls of the burial chamber, ante-chamber and other rooms and corridors inside the royal pyramids of the Vth and Vth Dynasties (initiated by

A Brief Glossary Tanakh Targum Septuagint Midrash (exposition) is a rabbinic commentary on the Bible that explains legal points (primarily, midrash halakah) or brings out lessons by story, parable, or legend (primarily, midrash aggadah). The midrashim were written from the Mishnaic period to the 13th c. Midrash Rabbah is an anthology of midrashim on the Bible, divided by book (hence, Genesis Rabba, Leviticus Rabba, etc.) The anthology covers the Torah and the megillot. Midrash ha-Gadol Midrash Tehillim Masorah designates the body of traditions that are printed in the margins of the Hebrew Bible to guide the reader. Talmud Mishnah Gemara is the commentary on the Mishnah that was codified in the two (three for the Babylonian Talmud) centuries after 200 CE. In addition to legal matters, it includes large sections of midrash, aggadah, stories about rabbis, medical advice, science, etc. Classical Rabbinic literature Halakhah designates all legal discussions. Aggadah Tosefta ("addition") is that collection of tannaitic teachings that supplements the Mishnah. It is four times as long as the Mishnah but divided into the same sections.

Home About Us Breaking News Commentary ... Store Massachusetts High School Adopts Policy Allowing Distribution of Religious Literature June 23, 2003 Mathew D. Staver WESTFIELD, MASS - In response to a federal court order, Westfield High School has now adopted a policy which protects the distribution of religious literature. Earlier this year Judge Frank Freedman issued an injunction against the Westfield Public Schools, prohibiting the school from disciplining six students who distributed candy canes with a religious message to their fellow students. The students, all members of the L.I.F.E. Bible Club at Westfield High School, are represented by Mathew D. Staver, President and General Counsel of Liberty Counsel, and Erik W. Stanley, Litigation Counsel for Liberty Counsel. On March 17, 2003, Judge Freedman issued a 67-page opinion declaring the school policy and practice unconstitutional. Following the decision, the school removed any disciplinary action from the students' files and recently adopted a new school policy which Liberty Counsel assisted in drafting. It is worth noting that when the state of Massachusetts filed its report in April to the U.S. Department of Education regarding state schools and their compliance with the Guidelines on Constitutionally Protected Prayer in Public Elementary and Secondary Schools, it noted that not all state schools were in compliance. One of these schools was obviously Westfield High School. Now that this new policy has been adopted, the school has come into compliance with the Guidelines.

Chamberlain Set in writing in 712 AD, the Kojiki is the Japanese for a group of ancient stories that would be otherwise translated as "Records of Ancient Matters". They represent the culmination of the Yamato dominance over the islands of Japan towards the end of the 7th century. The Kojiki essentially begins with the beginning of the world, the birth of Gods and Goddesses, the creation of the islands of Japan, and the descent of the Gods and Goddesses to Japan itself. The line of the tale, of course, will conclude logically that the rulers of the period, overseeing the compilation of the texts, will be linked directly with the Gods. The Kojiki is a rich lore of folk tale that has ultimately helped shape how the Japanese people view themselves. The Kojiki, along with the Nihongi, have defined Japanesis image, by the communication through literature of the most ancient of Japan's surviving mythology.

GEORGIA: Veto For Patriarchate Over All Church-Building and Religious Literature. by Felix Corley, Keston News Service, 23 October 2002 Some minority faiths and human rights activists have expressed their fears over a provision of the newly-approved agreement between the Georgian Orthodox Patriarchate and the state which gives the Patriarchate a veto on which other religious communities can call themselves Churches and which can produce items used in worship, build churches and publish religious literature. "This is a dangerous and anti-democratic provision. There are five other Orthodox jurisdictions in Georgia - they will be the prime victims of this," Levan Ramishvili, director of the Tbilisi-based human rights group the Liberty Institute, told Keston News Service on 22 October. "But it could be used against other groups too." The constitutional agreement, or concordat, was signed by Patriarch Ilya and Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze in Mtskheta on 14 October (see KNS 15 October 2002). The agreement was approved, as required, by the Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church on 17 October. Parliament ratified the agreement on 22 October with 203 votes in favour and one against, allowing the agreement to come into force. Parliament will now have to draw up laws to enact the provisions of the agreement.

UZBEKISTAN SPECIAL REPORT: Pervasive State Control of Religious Literature. by Felix Corley , Keston News Service, 27 March Despite its international human rights commitments to allow the free publication, import and dissemination of religious literature, the Uzbek government continues to obstruct this right for all religious groups, Keston News Service learnt from religious believers of a variety of faiths in a series of interviews in the Uzbek capital Tashkent in mid-March. Government censorship of all religious literature is enshrined in law and is operated through the government's Committee for Religious Affairs (CRA). The authorities frequently obstruct or ban religious literature they dislike. Foreign Islamic literature is treated with great suspicion, as is Uzbek-language literature about faiths other than Islam. Christians were encouraged when the government granted permission to the Bible Society of Uzbekistan, a broadly-based group affiliated to the United Bible Societies which has official registration, to publish a translation into Uzbek of the Old Testament Book of Proverbs. The translation is to be formally presented in Tashkent's Museum of Applied Arts on 30 March in the presence of government officials, Christian leaders and diplomats. This is the first Bible translation printed in the country in Uzbek, although the Bible Society has imported Uzbek-language New Testaments in the past.
