Book excerpt: L' adoption est pratiquée, sous des formes et avec des finalités différentes, dans de très nombreuses sociétés, sinon dans toutes : elle constitue un révélateur des valeurs et des pratiques sociales liées à la parenté, à son idéologie et à son image. Elle n'a pris de l'importance dans les pays occidentaux, notamment en France, que depuis peu. Elle apparaît aujourd'hui comme une réponse à la stérilité du couple. C'est le couple qui adopte, et qui adopte une fille aussi bien qu'un garçon, pour la joie d'élever un enfant et de lui donner une famille. Pourtant, lorsqu'elle a été réintroduite dans le droit, après une éclipse de douze siècles, l'adoption fut conçue plutôt comme une solution humanitaire à l'abandon massif des enfants, caractéristique de cette période. Dès lors elle ne pouvait être pratiquée que dans l'intérêt de l'enfant, dont tous les liens avec sa famille d'origine se trouvaient coupés par l'abandon. D'autres sociétés ont pratiqué l'adoption dans des intentions très différentes : ainsi la Rome ancienne, où l'adoption est liée à une politique, de la succession et de la transmission ; des hommes y adoptent d'autres hommes, enfants et adultes. En Occident, l'Eglise a été à l'origine de la disparition de cette "parenté sociale" en reconnaissant seulement deux types de parenté: la parenté biologique et la parenté spirituelle liée au baptême. Diverses formes de parentés de substitution, notamment spirituelles, ont alors été instituées, dont certaines continuent à mettre en oeuvre le vocabulaire de l'adoption. L'Empire byzantin a connu, pour sa part, une évolution différente de celle de l'Occident médiéval. Pour désigner au contraire la "mise en nourriture" ou "en éducation" le terme fosterage, largement admis dans les disciplines historiques et anthropologiques depuis les travaux de Marcel Mauss et de Louis Gernet, a été retenu comme un vocable technique susceptible de rendre compte de pratiques qui transcendent les cultures. Dans la Rome ancienne, où l'adoption n'a pas une finalité spécifique d'éducation, un enfant nourricier, garçon ou fille, est un enfant, souvent de statut inférieur, que l'on n'adopte pas, mais auquel on fait donner une éducation dans sa maison ; ce type de relation est accessible à la femme comme à l'homme. Dans l'Europe occidentale, l'époque médiévale et moderne a connu dans certains pays la circulation des enfants à l'intérieur de leur propre famille. Mais elle a connu aussi — c'est une des caractéristiques du modèle anglais — des formes de circulation d'enfants et de jeunes gens (filles et garçons) dans des familles distinctes de la leur, où ils n'avaient pas vocation à s'intégrer. La thématique met l'accent sur toutes les formes de parentés électives ou de délégations de rôles qui, dans nos sociétés, relèvent de la responsabilité parentale. Sur ces deux thèmes vingt auteurs ont essayé de faire le point sur l'évolution de la société occidentale de l'Antiquité à nos jours ; une comparaison a été tentée avec des sociétés extra-européennes dans lesquelles l'adoption ou la circulation des enfants ont joué dans le passé, et parfois jouent encore, un rôle important : la Chine et le Japon anciens, l'Afrique de l'Ouest et la Malaisie actuelles.

Download or read book That Most Precious Merchandise written by Hannah Barker and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-09-27 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the Black Sea as a source of Mediterranean slaves stretches from ancient Greek colonies to human trafficking networks in the present day. At its height during the fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries, the Black Sea slave trade was not the sole source of Mediterranean slaves; Genoese, Venetian, and Egyptian merchants bought captives taken in conflicts throughout the region, from North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, the Balkans, and the Aegean Sea. Yet the trade in Black Sea slaves provided merchants with profit and prestige; states with military recruits, tax revenue, and diplomatic influence; and households with the service of women, men, and children. Even though Genoa, Venice, and the Mamluk sultanate of Egypt and Greater Syria were the three most important strands in the web of the Black Sea slave trade, they have rarely been studied together. Examining Latin and Arabic sources in tandem, Hannah Barker shows that Christian and Muslim inhabitants of the Mediterranean shared a set of assumptions and practices that amounted to a common culture of slavery. Indeed, the Genoese, Venetian, and Mamluk slave trades were thoroughly entangled, with wide-ranging effects. Genoese and Venetian disruption of the Mamluk trade led to reprisals against Italian merchants living in Mamluk cities, while their participation in the trade led to scathing criticism by supporters of the crusade movement who demanded commercial powers use their leverage to weaken the force of Islam. Reading notarial registers, tax records, law, merchants' accounts, travelers' tales and letters, sermons, slave-buying manuals, and literary works as well as treaties governing the slave trade and crusade propaganda, Barker gives a rich picture of the context in which merchants traded and enslaved people met their fate.

Download or read book Children in Antiquity written by Lesley A. Beaumont and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 839 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection employs a multi-disciplinary approach treating ancient childhood in a holistic manner according to diachronic, regional and thematic perspectives. This multi-disciplinary approach encompasses classical studies, Egyptology, ancient history and the broad spectrum of archaeology, including iconography and bioarchaeology. With a chronological range of the Bronze Age to Byzantium and regional coverage of Egypt, Greece, and Italy this is the largest survey of childhood yet undertaken for the ancient world. Within this chronological and regional framework both the social construction of childhood and the child’s life experience are explored through the key topics of the definition of childhood, daily life, religion and ritual, death, and the information provided by bioarchaeology. No other volume to date provides such a comprehensive, systematic and cross-cultural study of childhood in the ancient Mediterranean world. In particular, its focus on the identification of society-specific definitions of childhood and the incorporation of the bioarchaeological perspective makes this work a unique and innovative study. Children in Antiquity provides an invaluable and unrivalled resource for anyone working on all aspects of the lives and deaths of children in the ancient Mediterranean world.

Download or read book Lord Jesus Christ written by Larry W. Hurtado and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005-09-14 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This outstanding book provides an in-depth historical study of the place of Jesus in the religious life, beliefs, and worship of Christians from the beginnings of the Christian movement down to the late second century. Lord Jesus Christ is a monumental work on earliest Christian devotion to Jesus, sure to replace Wilhelm Bousset s Kyrios Christos (1913) as the standard work on the subject. Larry Hurtado, widely respected for his previous contributions to the study of the New Testament and Christian origins, offers the best view to date of how the first Christians saw and reverenced Jesus as divine. In assembling this compelling picture, Hurtado draws on a wide body of ancient sources, from Scripture and the writings of such figures as Ignatius of Antioch and Justin to apocryphal texts such as the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Truth. Hurtado considers such themes as early beliefs about Jesus divine status and significance, but he also explores telling devotional practices of the time, including prayer and worship, the use of Jesus name in exorcism, baptism and healing, ritual invocation of Jesus as Lord, martyrdom, and lesser-known phenomena such as prayer postures and the curious scribal practice known today as the nomina sacra. The revealing portrait that emerges from Hurtado s comprehensive study yields definitive answers to questions like these: How important was this formative period to later Christian tradition? When did the divinization of Jesus first occur? Was early Christianity influenced by neighboring religions? How did the idea of Jesus divinity change old views of God? And why did the powerful dynamics of early beliefs and practices encourage people to make the costly move of becoming a Christian? Boasting an unprecedented breadth and depth of coverage — the book speaks authoritatively on everything from early Christian history to themes in biblical studies to New Testament Christology — Hurtado s Lord Jesus Christ is at once significant enough that a wide range of scholars will want to read it and accessible enough that general readers interested at all in Christian origins will also profit greatly from it.

Download or read book If Sons Then Heirs written by Caroline Johnson Hodge and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-13 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity is widely understood to be a "universal" religion that transcends the particularities of history and culture, including differences related to kinship and ethnicity. In traditional Pauline scholarship, this portrait of Christianity has been justified by the letters of Paul. Interpreters claim that Paul eliminates ethnicity, or at least separates it from what is important about Christianity. This study challenges that perception. Through a detailed examination of kinship and ethnic language in Paul's letters, Johnson Hodge argues that notions of peoplehood and lineage are not rejected or downplayed by Paul; instead they are central to his gospel. Paul's chief concern is the status of the gentile peoples who are alienated from the God of Israel. Ethnicity defines this theological problem, just as it shapes his own evangelizing of the ethnic and religious "other." According to Paul, God has responded to the gentile predicament through Christ. Johnson Hodge details how Paul uses the logic of patrilineal descent to construct a myth of origins for gentiles: through baptism into Christ the gentiles become descendants of Abraham, adopted sons of God and coheirs with Christ. Although Jews and gentiles now share a common ancestor, they are not collapsed into one group (of "Christians," for example). They are separate but related lineages of Abraham. Through comparisons with other ancient authors, Johnson Hodge shows that Paul is not alone in his strategic use of kinship and ethnic language. Because kinship and ethnicity present themselves as natural and fixed, yet are also open to negotiation and reworking, they are effective tools in organizing people and power, shaping self-understanding and defining membership. If Sons, Then Heirs demonstrates that Paul's thinking is immersed in the story of Israel. He speaks not as a Christian theologian, but as a first-century Jewish teacher of gentiles responding to concrete situations in these early communities of Christ-followers. As such Paul does not reject or critique Judaism, but responds to God's call to be a "light to the nations."

Download or read book King and Messiah as Son of God written by Adela Yarbro Collins and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the history of the idea that the king and later the messiah is Son of God, from its origins in ancient Near Eastern royal ideology to its Christian appropriation in the New Testament. Both highly regarded scholars, Adela Yarbro Collins and John J. Collins argue that Jesus was called “the Son of God” precisely because he was believed to be the messianic king. This belief and tradition, they contend, led to the identification of Jesus as preexistent, personified Wisdom, or a heavenly being in the New Testament canon. However, the titles Jesus is given are historical titles tracing back to Egyptian New Kingdom ideology. Therefore the title “Son of God” is likely solely messianic and not literal. King and Messiah as Son of God is distinctive in its range, spanning both Testaments and informed by ancient Near Eastern literature and Jewish noncanonical literature.

Download or read book Historiography and Self Definition written by Gregory Sterling and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries scholars have recognized the apologetic character of the Hellenistic Jewish historians, Josephos, and Luke-Acts; they have not, however, adequately addressed their possible relationships to each other and to their wider cultures. In this first full systematic effort to set these authors within the framework of Greco-Roman traditions, Professor Sterling has used genre criticism as a method for locating a distinct tradition of historical writing, apologetic historiography. Apologetic historiography is the story of a subgroup of people which deliberately Hellenizes the traditions of the group in an effort to provide a self-definition within the context of the larger world. It arose as a result of a dialectic relationship with Greek ethnography. This work traces the evolution of this tradition through three major eras of eastern Mediterranean history spanning six hundred years: the Persian, the Greek, and the Roman.

Download or read book The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture written by Bart D. Ehrman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996-02-29 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victors not only write history: they also reproduce the texts. Bart Ehrman explores the close relationship between the social history of early Christianity and the textual tradition of the emerging New Testament, examining how early struggles between Christian "heresy" and "orthodoxy" affected the transmission of the documents over which many of the debates were waged. He makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of the social and intellectual history of early Christianity and raises intriguing questions about the relationship of readers to their texts, especially in an age when scribes could transform the documents they reproduced. This edition includes a new afterword surveying research in biblical interpretation over the past twenty years.
