Millions of devotees acclaim the Nahuatl-language Nican mopohua account of the apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe to Juan Diego as the foundational text of the Guadalupe tradition. A number of scholarly analyses have also examined the Nican mopohua as a prime source for that tradition. But no previous study has focused on a theological examination of Luis Laso de la Vega's Huei tlamahuiçoltica (1649), in which the Nican mopohua was first published. Huei tlamahuiçoltica is the premier Guadalupan pastoral manual and encompasses other important material, such as the Nican motecpana account of miracles attributed to Guadalupe's intercession, and the earliest published synopsis of Juan Diego's life posed as a model for Christian discipleship. This article explores Laso de la Vega's contributions and the ongoing significance of his treatise for the development of theological works and pastoral ministries centered on Guadalupe.

Millions of devotees acclaim the Nahuatl-language Nican mopohua account of the apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe to Juan Diego as the foundational text of the Guadalupe tradition. A number of scholarly analyses have examined the Nican mopohua as a prime source for that tradition. But no previous study has focused on a theological examination of Luis Laso de la Vega’s Huei tlamahuiçoltica, in which the Nican mopohua was first published. Huei tlamahuiçoltica is the premier publication focused on Guadalupan catechesis of the Nahuas of central Mexico. It encompasses the Nican motecpana account of miracles attributed to Guadalupe’s intercession and the earliest published synopsis of Juan Diego’s life posed as a model for Christian discipleship. This chapter explores the evolution of natives’ devotion over the first century of the Guadalupe cult, as well as the strengths and limitations of priests’ evangelizing initiatives and catechetical treatises such as Huei tlamahuiçoltica.

Our Lady of Guadalupe is the only Marian apparition tradition in the Americas—and indeed in all of Roman Catholicism—that inspired a sustained series of published theological analyses. Theologians in each successive epoch since the mid-seventeenth century have plumbed the meaning of Guadalupe for their times. Their theological works are grounded in two realities: the first is the relationship between Guadalupe and her faithful, and the second is her power to shape their lives and their world. Theologies of Guadalupe examines the way theologians have understood Guadalupe and sought to orient her impact in the lives of her devotees. It also examines Guadalupe’s meaning in everyday devotees’ lives and the spread of Guadalupan devotion over nearly half a millennium. Chapters of this study successively examine core theological topics in the Guadalupe tradition developed in response to major events of Mexican history: conquest, attempts to Christianize native peoples, society building, independence, and the demands for justice of marginalized groups. The successive chapters also narrate how, amid the plentiful miraculous images of Christ, Mary, and the saints that dotted the sacred landscape of colonial New Spain, the Guadalupe cult rose above all others and emerged from a local devotion to become a regional, national, and then international phenomenon. From patristic-based theological writings in the colonial era down to contemporary formulations shaped by the emergence of liberation theologies in Latin America, the theologies under study here reveal how Christian concepts and scriptures imported from Europe developed in dynamic interaction with the new contexts in which they took root.

Abstract During the years 2012 to 2017, archaeological excavations were conducted at the localities of Cave 3, Cave 4 and Hilltop of the Nanshan (South Hill) Site. A total of 450sqm was excavated, revealing eight burials, two large-scale cisterns, about a dozen ash pits, and near 100 postholes. The excavation yielded more than 1000 artifacts made of pottery, stone and bone, as well as large amount of charred grains. The excavation uncovered important material for the discussion of prehistoric behavioral models, subsistence, human migration, cultural interaction, environmental evolution, the origins and development of the prehistoric cultures of Fujian and Taiwan, as well as the origin and dispersal of Austronesian groups.

Christian Discipleship

The hymn in Phil 2:5–11, which may be the earliest statement about Jesus’s death on the cross, omits typical concepts of substitutionary atonement. This hymn sees the cross within the story that Jesus gave up the privilege of divinity to become human and offers a fresh way to see the intersection of Jesus’s death and Christian discipleship. Feminist and womanist theologians have rightly criticized substitutionary atonement, because the powerful inevitably place the message of sacrifice and suffering upon women and the marginalized. The hymn, however, speaks not of sacrifice and suffering, but of God’s willingness to give up privilege to create solidarity. For those with privilege to be of the same mind that was in Christ Jesus (v. 5), they must choose not to exploit that advantage, but to empty themselves of it and collectively create atonement through solidarity with one another.

The poetic form known as cento, composed of sections or verses of other poems, represents a curious literary subgenre practiced since Classical times. In New Spain, we have examples of Virgilian centos, centos about Our Lady of Guadalupe, and Gongorian centos on the Immaculate Conception. This article contains both a brief introduction on this poetic form and the textual edition of the six Gongorian centos that were composed in New Spain.

Photosynthesis And Respiration

Carbon dioxide is the very important material of plants when they are making food by means of photosynthesis. The concentration of carbon dioxide restricts photosynthesis and respiration in a dose-dependent manner. Therefore, keeping stability concentration of carbon dioxide is quite important for plant to grow rapidly. This paper mainly introduced the system composition and working principle of carbon dioxide automatic measuring instrument, the system taking Freescale MCU as control core. The instrument can collect signal, display data and reset by connecting with the PC. The experiment result states clearly this carbon dioxide automatic measuring instrument has practical value and application significance.
