| Abstract | session grouped by Frans van Liere (10/11/03):
Abstract paper -a:
This paper examines the concept and observance of the Lord's Day in Eastern Medieval Christianity in contrast to that of the West. The process of the Sabbatization of the Lord's Day in the West during the Medieval era has been well researched and documented. Little literature is available, however, about the concept and observance of the Lord's Day in Eastern Christianity; in which its symbolic nature as the Eighth Day – or age to come - was emphasised. These different approaches to the Lord's Day are typical of the overall different approaches of the Eastern and Western Church.
Abstract paper -b:
This paper examines the uses of the vernacular in the sermons and treatises of the Dominican theologians Meister Eckhart, Heinrich Seuse, and Johannes Tauler. Stemming from contemporary work on the role of the vernacular in Middle English texts, this essay investigates the influence that language choice itself plays in the rapidly expanding world of Middle High German theology at the beginning of the fourteenth-century.
