Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALL CHRISTIANS are called to be disciples, yet there are many paths of discipleship. Having models of discipleship is essential to discovering our own unique paths as followers of Christ. Profiles in Discipleship explores twelve "images" or types of Christian discipleship that have guided the thought and action of two dozen influential figures in the Christian tradition. Combining history, theology, and spirituality, the book draws upon the richness of the Christian tradition to shed light on the crucial question of how to live a life of faithful Christian discipleship in today's world. The author presents profiles of twenty-four exemplars of Christian discipleship from the early church to the present day, including Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Christians. Among the remarkable men and women whose fives of discipleship are profiled in this book are soldiers and peacemakers, servants and liberators, and artists and protest poets. In studying the lives of these Christians who persevered in discipleship despite their many faults, readers will be inspired to look into their own souls and cultivate the seeds of discipleship there.

Download or read book Dressing Judeans and Christians in Antiquity written by Kristi Upson-Saia and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past two decades have witnessed a proliferation of scholarship on dress in the ancient world. These recent studies have established the extent to which Greece and Rome were vestimentary cultures, and they have demonstrated the critical role dress played in communicating individuals’ identities, status, and authority. Despite this emerging interest in ancient dress, little work has been done to understand religious aspects and uses of dress. This volume aims to fill this gap by examining a diverse range of religious sources, including literature, art, performance, coinage, economic markets, and memories. Employing theoretical frames from a range of disciplines, contributors to the volume demonstrate how dress developed as a topos within Judean and Christian rhetoric, symbolism, and performance from the first century BCE to the fifth century CE. Specifically, they demonstrate how religious meanings were entangled with other social logics, revealing the many layers of meaning attached to ancient dress, as well as the extent to which dress was implicated in numerous domains of ancient religious life.
Download or read book Disability Medicine and Healing Discourse in Early Christianity written by Susan R. Holman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-04 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using contemporary theories drawn from health humanities, this volume analyses the nature and effects of disability, medicine, and health discourse in a variety of early Christian literature. In recent years, the "medical turn" in early Christian studies has developed a robust literature around health, disability, and medicine, and the health humanities have made critical interventions in modern conversations around the aims of health and the nature of healthcare. Considering these developments, it has become clear that early Christian texts and ideas have much to offer modern conversations, and that these texts are illuminated using theoretical lenses drawn from modern medicine and public health. The chapters in this book explore different facets of early Christian engagement with medicine, either in itself or as metaphor and material for theological reflections on human impairment, restoration, and flourishing. Through its focus on late antique religious texts, the book raises questions around the social, rather than biological, aspects of illness and diminishment as a human experience, as well as the strategies by which that experience is navigated. The result is an innovative and timely intervention in the study of health and healthcare that bridges current divides between historical studies and contemporary issues. Taken together, the book offers a prismatic conversation of perspectives on aspects of care at the heart of societal and individual "wellness" today, inviting readers to meet or revisit patristic texts as tracings across a map of embodied identity, dissonance, and corporal care. It is a fascinating resource for anyone working on ancient medicine and health, or the social worlds of early Christianity.
