Download or read book Lord of the Sacred City The Episcopus exclusus in Late Medieval and Early Modern Germany written by Jeff J. Tyler and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban histories have emphasized the rise of civic autonomy and proto-democracy. Based on chronicle and archival sources, this volume focuses on German bishops, former lords of the city and fierce opponents of civic freedom. The author investigates how bishops contested exclusion from political, economic, and religious dimensions of civic life (Episcopus exclusus), which culminated in the Protestant Reformation. Four chapters are devoted to episcopal expulsion throughout Germany and the cities of Constance and Augsburg in particular. A remarkable section explores the puzzle of the bishop's civic survival in the later Middle Ages, made possible through episcopal ritual. The emphasis on city, bishop, and ritual will be of special interest to urban historians as well as to scholars of medieval religion, the reformation, church history, church/state relations, and social history.
Download or read book Heresy and Citizenship written by Eugene Smelyansky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-27 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heresy and Citizenship examines the anti-heretical campaigns in late-medieval Augsburg, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Strasbourg, and other cities. By focusing on the unprecedented period of persecution between 1390 and 1404, this study demonstrates how heretical presence in cities was exploited in ecclesiastical, political, and social conflicts between the cities and their external rivals, and between urban elites. These anti-heretical campaigns targeted Waldensians who believed in lay preaching and simplified forms of Christian worship. Groups of individuals identified as Waldensians underwent public penance, execution, or expulsion. In each case, the course and outcome of inquisitions reveal tensions between institutions within each city, most often between city councils and local bishops or archbishops. In such cases, competing sides used the persecution of heresy to assert their authority over others. As a result, persecution of urban Waldensians acquired meaning beyond mere correction of religious error. By placing the anti-heretical campaigns of this period in their socio-political and religious context, Heresy and Citizenship also engages with studies of social and political conflict in late medieval towns. It examines the role the exclusion of religiously and socially deviant groups played in the development of urban governments, and the rise of ideologies of good citizenship and the common good. It will be of interest to scholars and students interested in medieval urban and religious history, and the history of heresy and its persecution.

Download or read book Twenty Three Great Objectives of Building the House of Allah written by Hazrat Mirza Nasir Ahmad and published by Islam International Publications Ltd. This book was released on 2016-03-06 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an English version of an Urdu treatise - Twenty-Three Great Objectives of Building the House of Allah - a series of Friday Sermons delivered by the third successor of the Promised Messiah in 1967. The sermons are one of the finest and sublimest commentaries on the verses related to the Ka’bah, the House of Allah, and expound how magnificently the twenty-three objectives related in the verses have been fulfilled by the advent of the Holy Prophet Muhammad. As the Ka’bah was the centre for all mankind at the outset, this House of Allah, again, was meant to become a centre for the unification of mankind in the latter and consummate time, so as both the Prophet and Qibla of human unification may be joined to belong to one place. Allah wants the Jama’at Ahmadiyya to realize the Divine wisdom behind the foundation of the Ka’bah so that they are considered the people of understanding in the sight of Allah and join the group of those purified ones who are showered upon the grace of Allah all the time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays emerge from different crucial and complex conflicts: from the memory of a bishop, Bartolome de las Casas, urging the pope of his time to cleanse the church of complicity with violence, oppression, and slavery; from the lament and defiance ofso many Middle Eastern women, victims of male domination and too many wars; from the voices bursting out from the colonial margins that dare to question and transgress the norms and laws imposed by colonizers and conquerors; from the emerging and diversetheological disruptions of traditional orthodoxies and rigid dogmatisms; from the denial of human rights to immigrant communities, living in the shadows of opulent societies; from the use of the sacred Hebrew Scriptures to displace and dispossess the indigenous peoples of Palestine. The essays belong to different intellectual genres and conceptual crossroads and are thus illustrative of the dialogic imagination that the Russian intellectual Mikhail Bakhtin considered basic to any serious intellectual enterprise. They are also the literary sediment of years of sharing lectures, dialogues, and debates in several academic institutions in the United States, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Malaysia, Switzerland, Germany, and Palestine.
