The topic of this dissertation is the center and culmination of the systematic theology of the German Catholic dogmatic theologian Matthias Joseph Scheeben (1835-88)-the deification of the human being through sacrifice. I argue that Scheeben is able to conceive of sacrifice as the ultimately perfective process of human deification due to his use of the Old Testament (OT) type of the God-given altar fire as a type for grace, charity, and glory in the New Testament (NT). A corollary of this idea is that the non-rational sacrificial victims of the OT (plants and animals) were stand-ins for the human offerer. It is the human being that therefore needs the NT counterpart to the sacrificial treatment the substitute victims received in the OT rites of sacrifice. Offered up in sacrifice through the divine grace-fire, Scheeben holds that the human being is called to rise up to God in a transfigured form that is the NT equivalent to the odor of sweetness that resulted from the ritual burning of a sacrificial victim in the OT. As sacrifice is about the deification of the human being, this work focuses extensively on Scheeben's understanding of Jesus Christ's status as primordial priest and archetypal sacrificial victim, a status that arises from his deification par excellence through the hypostatic union. Scheeben grounds Christ's unique priesthood 1) in the grace of union and 2) in his attendant accidental graces. In Christ's actual redemptive deed, Scheeben applies the altar fire typology twice over to 1) Christ's charity in his Passion and 2) to his bodily glorification in the resurrection. Scheeben's dual use of the altar fire typology is what allows him to give a coherent account of the unity of Christ's Paschal mystery in accomplishing redemption since it 1) preserves the properly atoning-meriting modality of the Passion, while 2) accounting for the sacrificial character of the resurrection and the latter's role in effecting human justification. Overall, this work demonstrates how Scheeben's sacrificial theology utilizes the grammar of the OT sacrificial rites to give a lucid account of the Christological mediation of grace to humans.

For renowned nineteenth-century German dogmatic theologian Matthias Scheeben, the divinely instituted liturgical cult of the Old Testament is replete with soteriological import, figuratively signifying not only Christ’s saving work and the sacramental worship of the New Testament, but also the transformation and elevation of the rational creature by divine grace. Scheeben’s distinctive use of sacrificial concepts is rooted in his underlying view of sacrifice as primarily perfective—directed to the glorification of God and constituted by the conversion of the offering into a pleasing and acceptable aroma via ritual burning with God-given fire. In Christ and the Altar Fire, David Augustine offers an in-depth study of Scheeben’s soteriology of sacrifice, providing a comprehensive analysis of his theology of sacrifice as well as a detailed examination of his sacrificial construal of Christ’s person, his saving work, and its application to others. At the heart of this account is Scheeben’s understanding of Christ’s sacrifice as encompassing his entire paschal mystery—passion, death, resurrection, and ascension—itself a passage of glorification that serves as the site and source of deifying and latreutic nuptial union. As he shows, Scheeben employs the altar fire typology to establish a unity of cross and glory that fully maintains the atoning and meritorious significance of Christ’s saving death. Displaying careful attentiveness to Scheeben’s historical context and to the contours of his substantial corpus, Augustine also brings Scheeben’s biblically inflected dogmatic theology into dialogue with contemporary biblical and theological scholarship, showcasing the enduring relevance of his thought.

The six chapters of this book focus upon Jesus' conception and birth from a virgin, his authoritative teaching, his miracles, his cross, his resurrection, and his ascension. The purpose of the book is to articulate and defend the truth of these salvific mysteries as presented to us in Scripture. In addition to conversing extensively with historical-critical biblical scholarship, the chapters make recourse to the theological tradition from the church fathers onward, with Thomas Aquinas as a touchstone. Levering seeks to make a case for believing in Jesus. At the same time, he shows how each of these mysteries is intimately linked with a truth about Mary the Mother of Jesus, thus arguing for the integral relationship of Christology and Mariology. Mary enacts the reception of the Lord by God's faithful people: the New Adam never chooses to be without the New Eve in God's new covenant family. The Christology offered in this book is therefore both attuned to historical studies of Jesus and Second Temple Judaism and, at the same time, deeply traditional in a contemporary Catholic and ecumenical way.

Reading Job with St. Thomas Aquinas is a scholarly contribution to Thomistic studies, specifically to the study of Aquinas’s biblical exegesis in relation to his philosophy and theology. Each of the thirteen chapters has a different focus, within the shared concentration of the book on Aquinas’s Literal Exposition on Job. The essays are arranged in three Parts: “Job and Sacra Doctrina”; “Providence and Suffering”; and “Job and the Moral Life”. Boyle’s opening essay argues that Aquinas’s commentary seeks to show what is required in the “Magister” (namely, Job and God) for the effective communication of wisdom. Mansini’s essay argues that by speaking, God reveals the virtue of Job and its value in God’s providence; without the personal revelation or speech of God, Job could not have known the value of his suffering. Vijgen’s essay explores the commentary’s use of Aristotle for reflecting upon divine providence, sorrow and anger, resurrection, and the new heavens and new earth. Levering’s essay explores the commentary’s citations of the Gospel of John and argues that these pertain especially to divine speech and to light/darkness. Bonino’s essay explains why divine incomprehensibility does not mean that Job is wrong to seek to understand God’s ways. Te Velde’s essay explores how Aquinas’s commentary draws upon the reasoning of his Summa contra gentiles with regard to the good order of the universe. Goris’s essay reflects upon how, according to Aquinas’s commentary, sin is and is not related to suffering. Knasas’s essay argues that Aquinas does not hold that the resurrection of the body is a necessary philosophical corollary of the human desire for happiness. Wawrykow’s essay explores merit, in relation to the connection between sin and punishment/affliction as well as to the connection between good actions and flourishing. Spezzano’s essay shows that Job’s hope and filial fear transform his suffering, making him an exemplar of the consolation they provide to the just. Mullady’s essay reflects upon the moral problems and opportunities posed by the passions, along with the ordering of the virtues to the reward of human happiness. Flood’s essay shows how Aquinas defends Job’s possession of the qualities needed for true friendship (including friendship with God), such as patience, delight in the presence of the friend, and compassion. Lastly, Kromholtz’s essay argues that although Aquinas’s Literal Exposition on Job never extensively engages eschatology, Aquinas depends throughout upon the reasonableness of hoping for the resurrection of the body and the final judgment.

The Mysteries of Christianity is Matthias Joseph Scheeben’s youthful magnum opus, a logically rigorous and spiritually profound dogmatic theology. In its pages, he explores the intelligibility of Christianity’s supernatural mysteries and their deep connectedness, ultimately demonstrating that Christian theology constitutes a science before the court of human reason, even as its object transcends human comprehension. Scheeben’s task is to present a unified view of the whole panorama of revealed truth, and he pursues this by considering nine key Christian mysteries: the Trinity, creation, sin, the Incarnation, the Eucharist, the Church and its sacraments, justification, eschatological glory, and predestination. Since the mystery of the Trinity is the root of the supernatural order, Scheeben begins here, showing that the foundation of the salvific economy lies in the eternal processions of persons in God—the begetting of the Son and the spiration of the Spirit being in different ways the cause of the life of grace in the human soul. When the Son and the Spirit are sent into the world in the Incarnation and through the bestowal of grace, they provide the way for human beings to see God face-to-face in the beatific vision, the end for which God created humans. Among the means of return to God, Scheeben particularly emphasizes the Eucharist, on account of its close connection with the mystery of the Incarnation. By placing his treatment of the Eucharist before that of the Church, he signals that his is a genuinely Eucharistic ecclesiology, centered on the abiding presence of the incarnate divine Son.

WE HAVE BEEN DECEIVED REGARDING JESUS BLOODLINE. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN AND WHOSE BEHIND THE COVERUPWhat if I told you that all ancient cultures knew of an original race of Scandinavian people who were incredible in every way? Did you know that archeological records, legends, and myths tell us this incredible prehistoric race had the DIVINE RIGHT TO RULE THE WORLD ORIGINALLY and that WE ARE ALL THE DESCENDENTS OF THIS SUPER RACE OF SCANDINAVIANS, NO MATTER WHAT COLOR YOU ARE TODAY? The truth behind the creation of the different races and of mans undoing can be found in our genetic code. Found in our DNA is absolute proof that our DNA has been tampered with by what scientists refer to as "Invasive Parasites" aka ALIENS. They changed our genetic codes by deactivating or removing a large portion of our original human DNA (97%) and then replaced it with their DNA and with what scientists refer to as "Other DNA" and "Junk DNA." Originally scientists thought that "Junk DNA" was dormant until a group of scientists discovered "Junk DNA is what causes us to get sick, age and die. Today mankind uses only 3 percent of our DNA code, which is referred to as our Big Strand or Active DNA. Ancient legends and archeological records tell us of a time in human prehistory when life was nearly perfect on earth until these evil demigods came down and changed the DNA of all life forms on earth through rape, artificial insemination and cloning and in doing so created a copper based aquatic bloodline who stole the "DEVINE RIGHT TO RULE THE WORLD" from our prehistoric Scandinavian ancestors. They operate from "Behind Closed Doors" and are in control of everything that affects our lives today. Part of this movement includes the Jewish and Roman Orthodox Catholic and Christian Church" that has been falsely promoting these evil aliens entities as gods and angels for 2000 years.These evil alien demigods) are still here and some people, who have been preprogrammed by them, claim they created us. This is NOT SO but this is what is being talked about today under what is referred to as the New Age movement and the "Alien Agenda." The governments of the world have tried to keep a lid on their existence because knowing who they are and what they are would open a "PANDORAS BOX."One well-known historical person who came to teach humanity about these evil alien entities, who fought to expose their hybrid bloodlines, was Jesus (Yashua). He was a Nazarene who operated out of a Nazarene village, below Magdala in Northern Israel aka Galilee. Magdala is where Mary is said to have come from. DNA, historical and archeological records tell us that their tribes were Scandinavian. These archeological records go back thousands of years to people living in the Magdalenian Era in Western Europe and Scandinavian tribes in Northern Europe. As we go further north we find they are decedents of people groups that once lived in the Subtropical Region known as Hyperborea.Their Scandinavian bloodline can also be tracked using Egyptian Records where they were known as the Shoshu people. The Shoshu were described as a well-established indigenous race in northern Israel. As time passed these Scandinavian tribes bred with a dark hair dark-eyed, race of nomadic people that came from the Himalayan mountain regions, Jeddah Saudi Arabia and ancient Sumeria, who were known as the Apiru nomads. Their descendents became the Hebrew Israelites.The Apiru were a hybrid race we refer to as Satan's "Serpent and Reptilian Bloodline Movement" today because they carry the Copper Based Aquatic DNA known as Serpents and Reptilian Blood. These hybrid bloodlines have been breeding with Jesus (Yashua) Pure Rh Negative bloodline for 2000 years and we see this attempt to blend the two bloodlines now in the "Holy Grail" books that have flooded the market today. These books fail to properly identify who Jesus (Yashua) was, his Scandinavian heritage and what prehistoric bloodline he actually

This is a book of wisdom and insight that explains how providential are the trials through which the Catholic Church is now passing. The need of the Papal Primacy to ensure Christian unity; the true meaning of the Priesthood as a sacrament and not a mere ministry; the necessity of the Eucharist as the Sacrifice of the Savior now offering Himself on our altars; the role of the Bishops as successors of the Apostles, united with the successor of St. Peter, the Bishop of Rome; the value of suffering in union with Christ crucified; the indispensable service of the laity in the apostolate - all these themes receive from Cardinal Ratzinger new clarity and depth.

The traditional claim that Mary remained a virgin during the very act of giving birth to Jesus is one of the least known and least understood aspects of Marian doctrine today. In "Vessel of Honor", Fr. Brian Graebe provides a solid introduction to the historical development of the doctrine and its reception in modern Catholic theology. He shows that, far from being responsible for its contemporary occlusion, the Second Vatican Council did much to reaffirm the traditional understanding of Mary's perpetual virginity against its radical reinterpretation in the mid-twentieth century. --Book jacket.
