Download or read book The Power of Oratory in the Medieval Muslim World written by Linda G. Jones and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oratory and sermons had a fixed place in the religious and civic rituals of pre-modern Muslim societies and were indispensable for transmitting religious knowledge, legitimising or challenging rulers and inculcating the moral values associated with being part of the Muslim community. While there has been abundant scholarship on medieval Christian and Jewish preaching, Linda G. Jones's book is the first to consider the significance of the tradition of pulpit oratory in the medieval Islamic world. Traversing Iberia and North Africa from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries, the book analyses the power of oratory, the ritual juridical and rhetorical features of pre-modern sermons and the social profiles of the preachers and orators who delivered them. The biographical and historical sources, which form the basis of this remarkable study, shed light on different regional practices and the juridical debates between individual preachers around correct performance.
Download or read book Preaching after Easter Mid Pentecost Ascension and Pentecost in Late Antiquity written by Richard W. Bishop and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The studies collected in Preaching after Easter examine the festal history and homiletics of Mid-Pentecost, Ascension, and Pentecost in the late antique Mediterranean world. Articles on individual sermons or the work of individual preachers such as John Chrysostom, Augustine of Hippo, Peter Chrysologus, Leo the Great, and Severus of Antioch exhibit the richness of late antique festal preaching. Questions of authenticity, heresiology, and theological, exegetical, or liturgical history are addressed with methodological rigor. Complementary contributions that deal with ancient Jewish-Christian dialogue, art-historical reception, and contemporary liturgical theology illustrate the wide ramifications of ancient Christian festal practice. Students and scholars of these feasts and the interpretive traditions devoted to them will find this volume to be an indispensable source of information and analysis.

Download or read book Gratia in Augustine s Sermones ad Populum during the Pelagian Controversy written by Anthony Dupont and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decades, the doctrine of grace of Augustine of Hippo (354-430) has been studied in depth. The occurrence of grace in Augustine’s ca. 580 sermones ad populum has not yet been systematically analysed. This monograph studies the presence of grace in sermones preached during the period of the Pelagian controversy – a debate precisely on the relation between divine grace and human freedom. Does Augustine deal with grace differently in these sermones and his anti-pelagian tractates? First, the gratia content of the sermones does not differ from that of the systematic treatises. Second, the treatment of this topic differs on occasion, a difference determined by the biblical, liturgical, rhetorical and contextual framework of the sermones. This book explores the anthropological-ethical perspective of grace in Augustine, which results in a correction of the image of an Augustine overemphasising God and neglecting man, and in a plea to see continuity in his thinking on grace.

Book excerpt: In 'The Epidemics of the Middle Ages,' readers encounter a profound exploration of the pivotal infectious outbreaks that shaped the course of European history.

Highlighting events such as the Black Death and the Sweating Sickness, the works within this volume elucidate the manner in which these epidemics acted as catalysts for change, often with profound and lasting effects on societal structures and cultural practices. The contributing authors, John Caius and J. F. C. Hecker, bring to the table a wealth of historical and medical knowledge. Caius, known for his work during the Tudor period, and Hecker, famed for his studies on the history of epidemic diseases, fuse their expertise to provide a nuanced perspective on the subject. Their backgrounds enrich the collections depth, offering insights that span from the intricacies of medical history to the broader impacts of these diseases on the Middle Ages. Their collective work contributes to the understanding of how historical, cultural, and medical narratives intertwine, situating the epidemics within their respective zeitgeists. This anthology extends an invitation to readers to immerse themselves in the complex tapestry of history that weaves together tales of tragedy, resilience, and innovation. It presents a unique opportunity to grasp the multifaceted implications of epidemics on medieval society, through the lens of distinguished scholars. For those intrigued by history, medicine, and the indelible marks left by disease on the human condition, 'The Epidemics of the Middle Ages' offers an invaluable collection of insights and perspectives, encouraging a deep and informed dialogue between past and present.
