Download or read book Religion Staat Kultur Alt gypten und der Weg Europas written by Jan Assmann and published by Verlag Herder GmbH. This book was released on 2021-11-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Weg Europas von Ägypten in die Gegenwart führt über drei Stufen der Auflösung einer ursprünglichen Einheit von Religion, Kultur und Staat: die Emanzipation der Religion im Frühen Judentum, die Emanzipation der Kultur in Humanismus und Aufklärung und die Emanzipation des Staats aus der Allianz mit der Religion bzw. Kirche im Zuge der Säkularisierung. Jan Assmann zeichnet die wichtigsten Etappen dieser Entwicklung nach. Gegenüber Tendenzen, die sich nach der ursprünglichen Einheit zurücksehnen, für die Ägypten steht, plädiert Jan Assmann leidenschaftlich für das Ideal des säkularen, freiheitlichen Staates, das Europa sich auf die Fahnen geschrieben hat. Eine wichtige Selbstvergewisserung in den aktuellen Debatten um den Weg Europas!

Download or read book Religion in Roman Egypt written by David Frankfurter and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exploration of cultural resilience examines the complex fate of classical Egyptian religion during the centuries from the period when Christianity first made its appearance in Egypt to when it became the region's dominant religion (roughly 100 to 600 C.E. Taking into account the full range of witnesses to continuing native piety--from papyri and saints' lives to archaeology and terracotta figurines--and drawing on anthropological studies of folk religion, David Frankfurter argues that the religion of Pharonic Egypt did not die out as early as has been supposed but was instead relegated from political centers to village and home, where it continued a vigorous existence for centuries. In analyzing the fate of the Egyptian oracle and of the priesthoods, the function of magical texts, and the dynamics of domestic cults, Frankfurter describes how an ancient culture maintained itself while also being transformed through influences such as Hellenism, Roman government, and Christian dominance. Recognizing the special characteristics of Egypt, which differentiated it from the other Mediterranean cultures that were undergoing simultaneous social and political changes, he departs from the traditional "decline of paganism/triumph of Christianity" model most often used to describe the Roman period. By revealing late Egyptian religion in its Egyptian historical context, he moves us away from scenarios of Christian triumph and shows us how long and how energetically pagan worship survived.
