Book excerpt: Painted on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel, 28 years after Michelangelo completed the glorious and hopeful ceiling, The Last Judgment is full of stark images depicting the End of Days. James Connor uses the famous fresco as the lens by which to view the end of the Renaissance, arguing that Michelangelo's imagery and composition reflect the religious and political upheavals of the time. Combining his flair for storytelling with incisive historical analysis, Connor demonstrates how the Counter-Reformation arose from the ashes of Renaissance Italy, and how that sea change altered the course of Western history.
Download or read book Savonarola written by Donald Weinstein and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Girolamo Savonarola, the fifteenth-century doom-saying friar, embraced the revolution of the Florentine republic and prophesied that it would become the center of a New Age of Christian renewal and world domination. This new biography, the culmination of many decades of study, presents an original interpretation of Savonarola's prophetic career and a highly nuanced assessment of his vision and motivations.Weinstein sorts out the multiple strands that connect Savonarola to his time and place, following him from his youthful rejection of a world he regarded as corrupt, to his engagement with that world to save it from itself, to his shattering confession--an admission that he had invented his prophesies and faked his visions. Was his confession sincere? A forgery circulated by his inquisitors? Or an attempt to escape bone-breaking torture? Weinstein offers a highly innovative analysis of the testimony to provide the first truly satisfying account of Savonarola and his fate as a failed prophet.

Download or read book Coming Down from Above written by Lee Irwin and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For longer than five centuries, Native Americans have struggled to adapt to colonialism, missionization, and government control policies. This first comprehensive survey of prophetic movements in Native North America tells how religious leaders blended indigenous beliefs with Christianity’s prophetic traditions to respond to those challenges. Lee Irwin gathers a scattered literature to provide a single-volume overview that depicts American Indians’ creative synthesis of their own religious beliefs and practices with a variety of Christian theological ideas and moral teachings. He traces continuities in the prophetic tradition from eighteenth-century Delaware prophets to Western dream dance visionaries, showing that Native American prophecy was not merely borrowed from Christianity but emerged from an interweaving of Christian and ancient North American teachings integral to Native religions. From the highly assimilated ideas of the Puget Sound Shakers to such resistance movements as that of the Shawnee Prophet, Irwin tells how the integration of non-Native beliefs with prophetic teachings gave rise to diverse ethnotheologies with unique features. He surveys the beliefs and practices of the nation to which each prophet belonged, then describes his or her life and teachings, the codification of those teachings, and the impact they had on both the community and the history of Native religions. Key hard-to-find primary texts are included in an appendix. An introduction to an important strand within the rich tapestry of Native religions, Coming Down from Above shows the remarkable responsiveness of those beliefs to historical events. It is an unprecedented, encyclopedic sourcebook for anyone interested in the roots of Native theology.

CHAPTER XXIV THE END HE vain efforts of the Papal commissaries," says Villari, "had J. only succeeded in making more evident the innocence of Savonarola." For our part, we cannot take this view of the matter. They had not, indeed, drawn from him any confession that he had formally taught heretical doctrine. And no wonder; for among those who had either heard or read his sermons, there could be no question as to the orthodoxy of his ordinary dogmatic teaching.1 When he was asked whether he had professed or inculcated this or that error on points of faith, his answer was, that to suspect him of such absurdities was to charge him with being a fool. Whether his admission--made, retracted, and made again--that he had fraudulently usurped the name and office of a prophet, or again his persistent refusal to submit the exercise of his alleged prophetic mission to the judgment of his ecclesiastical superiors, could rightly be regarded as amounting to constructive heresy, and as deserving of the penalty of death even in accordance with the jurisprudence of the age, may be called in question; though it would seem that these things were in fact so regarded under stress of the strong feelings which prevailed at the time. But on one point--or rather on two points very closely connected with each other--there can be no doubt whatever. He had endeavoured to procure the deposition of the Pope, by means of a General Council, to be convoked by temporal sovereigns; and herein lay the head and front of his 1 The doctrinal orthodoxy of Savonarola was declared by the commission appointed to examine his works in 1554 under Paul IV. The Dyalogus de Veritate Prophetica was indeed placed on the Index (" donee corrigatur "), together with some fifteen of...
