Joseph
G. Mueller, S.J. (S.T.D., Centre Sèvres, Paris,
1999), [Systematics/Ethics], specializes in ecclesiology and early
Christian Theology, especially the Church order literature of
the first five centuries and its Old Testament exegesis. He is
pursuing his interest in the fourth-century author of the pseudo-Ignatian
letters, Apostolic Constitutions , and the neo-Arian commentary
of Julian on Job. His book, L'Ancien Testament dans l'ecclésiologie
des Pères: Une lecture des Constitutions apostoliques,
was published by Brepols in February 2005. His article on some
of the ecclesiological implications of the mandatum appeared in
Recherches de Science Religieuse in July 2004. In the same
month his article entitled "Old Testament and Church Ministries
in Two Ecumenical Dialogues" appeared in the International
Journal of Systematic Theology. He has completed entries on
"Church Order, Early," "Cyril of Jerusalem,"
"Disciplina arcani," and "Excommunication"
for The New Westminster Dictionary of Church History (forthcoming
from Westminster John Knox Press). He is on the team that is translating
some of Yves Congar's works. Forthcoming articles engage the following
topics: re-evaluation of alleged evidence for post-baptismal anointing
in the second-century Christian East (to appear in the Journal
of Theological Studies), Yves Congar's theory of Church reform
(to appear in Communio), and an examination of aspects
of John Paul II's style of magisterium (for an Avery Dulles festschrift).
He has recently completed articles on a neo-Arian scriptural canon
of the 380's and on the literary genre of the ancient Church order
literature. He is currently working on a systematic study of continuity
and discontinuity in tradition, as well as on the history of the
Christian interpretation of Proverbs.
