Book The Lord s Prayer in the Early Church

Download or read book The Lord s Prayer in the Early Church written by R. Hammerling and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lord s Prayer is arguably the most important prayer in Christianity. Still, exactly how the prayer developed in the life of the early church has remained hidden in ancient manuscripts. Hammerling s thorough and ground-breaking examination of these works reveals that early authors enthusiastically expounded upon its power and mystery, claiming that the prayer uttered by Christ belonged at the core of Christian ritual and beliefs. Many early church writers labeled it a "perfect summary of the gospel" and joyously referred to it as a pearl of great price and worth.

Book The History and Anatomy of Auctorial Self Criticism in the European Middle Ages

Download or read book The History and Anatomy of Auctorial Self Criticism in the European Middle Ages written by Anita Obermeier and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study outlines the history and anatomy of the European apology tradition from the sixth century BCE to 1500 for the first time. The study examines the vernacular and Latin tales, lyrics, epics, and prose compositions of Arabic, English, French, German, Greek, Icelandic, Italian, Spanish, and Welsh authors. Three different strands of the apology tradition can be proposed. The first and most pervasive strand features apologies to pagan deities and-later-to God. The second most important strand contains literary apologies made to an earthly audience, usually of women. A third strand occurs more rarely and contains apologies for varying literary offenses that are directed to a more general audience. The medieval theory of language privileges an imitation of the Christian master narrative and a hierarchical medieval view of authorship. These notions express a medieval philosophical concern about language and its role, and therefore the role of the author, in cosmic history. Despite the fact that women apologize for different purposes and reasons, their examples illustrate, on yet another level, the antifeminist subtext inherent in the entire apology tradition. Overall, the apology tradition characterized by interauctoriality, intertextuality, and intratextuality, enables self-critical authors to refer not only backward but also-primarily-forward, making the medieval apology a progressive strategy that engenders new literature. This study would be relevant to all medievalists, especially those interested in literature and the history of ideas.

Book Early Christianity In Its Song and Verse

Download or read book Early Christianity In Its Song and Verse written by Robert J. Glendinning and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present work Professor Glendinning sets out to convey some idea of the richness of the Christian experience in the poetry-hymn lyrics and other verse forms-from Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, CE 300-1300. It is the period sometimes called the Age of Faith, when the purpose of life was to prepare one's soul for eternity. The author selects 60 representative Latin poems and creates parallel English texts, accompanying them with explanatory notes and comment on cultural and historical background. The notes include short samples of the original Latin texts. All texts, as well as reference materials in the discussion of the texts, are meticulously documented. For those wishing to explore the matter further as to religious, social and cultural history, as well as the music of the hymns, a basic bibliography is included.

This book was released on 2022-10-07 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pagan rhetor, (Neo-)Platonist philosopher, Christian theologian This collection of essays is devoted to the rhetoric, Neoplatonic philosophy, and Christian theology of Marius Victorinus, a mid-fourth-century professor of rhetoric and philosopher who converted to Christianity late in life. Scholars from eight different countries, some of whom have not previously published in English, reflect on debates about his writings and theological development. These topics include Victorinus's deployment of philosophical sources for trinitarian theology, possible connections in his work to Origen, Augustine, Plotinus, Porphyry, and Gnosticism, as well as his contributions to Latin rhetoric and dialectic. Contributors include Jan Dominik Bogataj, Michael Chase, Nello Cipriani, Stephen A. Cooper, Volker Henning Drecoll, Lenka Karfíková, Josef Lössl, Václav Němec, Thomas Riesenweber, Guadalupe Lopetegui Semperena, Miran Špelič, Chiara O. Tommasi, John D. Turner, and Florian Zacher. The chapters in this volume are of great interest to students of late antique philosophy, Christian theology, and Latin rhetoric.
