“…Before proceeding to this task, however, I should like briefly to tarry on one of the points raised in the previous section, in particular that by Pelikan (1966). As we have seen, he writes that historical theology must correct and guide systematic theology, especially when the latter departs from a faithful reading of the sources (Pelikan, 1966, p. 5).…”

“…The church historian J. Pelikan also laments the lack of careful attention to the sources amongst systematic theologians and is particularly concerned about the idea that one can even do theology without the sources. According to Pelikan (1966), history must inform and at times correct the claims of systematicians:…”

This article addresses the following question: Is it possible, and if so, to what extent, to draw upon sources from different contexts or disciplines to perform theological research? The first part describes the historical origins and contemporary application of the handmaiden model of theology (“philosophy is the handmaiden of theology,” philosophia ancilla theologiae). In the second section, I consider two closely related objections to this model, namely confirmation bias (or eisegesis) and anachronism. Section three demonstrates that while these objections should be carefully considered, they do not preclude altogether the possibility of engaging with sources across temporal or disciplinary boundaries. Gadamer’s hermeneutical philosophy grounds the possibility of such interaction. The remainder of the article provides a more specific vision of how this model can be practiced. First, I look to the theological tradition itself, in particular Augustine’s interpretive principles as applied to Genesis 1 (Confessiones 12) and Michael Fishbane’s appropriation of the Jewish hermeneutical tradition. Finally, the contemporary scholars William Desmond and Cyril O’Regan exemplify the responsible constructive engagement with the sources. I argue that practitioners of the handmaiden model must take seriously objections to and concerns about their methodology. Nonetheless, once critically adapted to present circumstances, this model is feasible for a contemporary scholarly context. One can respect the integrity of the sources while also interpreting them in ways which apply to present theological interests. A key implication of this research is that for each to function properly, historical theology and systematic theology must consistently interact with each other.

Investigations on the Cross-Linking of Spent Swlfite LiqworSpent sulfite liquor is cross-linked by oxidative coupling to a cation exchange resin. Furthermore, the cross-linking of spent sulfite liquor by ten different polyfunctional compounds is investigated. The highest resin yields are obtained with epichlorohydrin and polyethyleneimine/ tris(chloroethyl)ammonium hydrochloride. rn the latter case, an anion exchange resin is obtained. -In model experiments, in which an attempt was made to establish the linkage between carbohydrates and IigTin, three crossed dilignols with a benzyl ether b o d were obtained froLn isoeugenol/glycol by oxidative coupling.Lignin ist ein hochmolekularer Naturstoff, der aus Phenylpropanstruktureinheilen besteht 1-2.3). Obwohl das Lignin aufgrund seines Vorkommens im Holz in den Zellstoffabriken in gro8en Mengen als Nebenprodukt anfallt, hat es bisher keine befriedigende wirtschaftliche Verwendung gefunden. Das in der Bundesrepublik fur die Zellstoffgewinnung aus Holz ausschliel3lich angewandte Sulfitverfahren uberfuhrt das Lignin in eine wasserliisliche Ligninsulfonsaure, wlhrend die mehr oder weniger reine Cellulose als ungeloster Zellstoff zuruckbleibt. Auf diese Weise gelangen etwa 50% der I-Iolzmasse in die Ablauge4). Die etwa I5proz.Sulfitablauge enthiilt als feste Stoffe rund 63 % Ligninsulfonsaure, 30% Kohlenhydrate und 7 % anorganische Salzes). Um die Sulfitablauge als Klebstoff oder als Ionenaustauscherharz zu verwenden, mu8 die Ligninsulfonsaure in einen wasserunloslichen Zustand ubergefuhrt werden. Dies gelingt am besten durch Vernetzungsreaktionen.

The Place of Tradition in Dutch Anabaptism

There is little doubt that biblical literalism was a characteristic of the main stream of sixteenth-century Anabaptism. By biblical literalism is not meant a wooden, proof-texting, legalistic understanding of every word of the Bible, but a conviction that the plain meaning of scripture could be understood by any sincere Christian, and ought to be obeyed. The Protestant reformers Luther, Zwingli, Calvin and Bucer also made the Bible central to their reforming efforts. In a sense this might even be said about the intentions of the Council of Trent. Yet differing hermeneutics and socio-political presuppositions led to vastly different ecclesiastical results. Recent Reformation historiography, particularly in eastern Europe, rightly reminds us of the importance of the social and economic factors involved, but hermeneutics remains a vital part of the dynamic of that period, as of all church history, and must be central to contemporary efforts to overcome the legacy of ecclesiastical fragmentation which that area left us.
