Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Theologie - Systematische Theologie, Note: 1,0, Evangelische Hochschule Berlin (Religionspädagogik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Jahrhundertelang wurde die jungfräuliche Geburt nicht von Christen angezweifelt. Seit der Aufklärung des 18./ 19. Jahrhunderts fällt es den Menschen zunehmend schwerer, das Dogma von der jungfräulichen Geburt Jesu Christi als Glaubenswahrheit anzuerkennen. 1 Heute wirkt es auf Atheisten und auch auf viele Christen, vor allem Junge und Neuhinzugekommene, sogar absurd und lächerlich, da es den Menschen aus eigener Erfahrung völlig irreal erscheint. Der Satz wird im Credo zwar meist mitgesprochen, oft geschieht das jedoch nur noch formelhaft aus Tradition und immer seltener aus Glaubensüberzeugung. Kritische Stimmen sehen in dieser Aussage eine moralisierende, frauen- und sexualfeindliche und weltfremde Lüge, mit der die Gläubigen der Vergangenheit für dumm verkauft werden sollten. Was ist nun aber wirklich mit der Jungfrauengeburt2 gemeint? Wird hier ein biologisches Wunder beschrieben oder hat es eine symbolische Bedeutung? Und was bedeutet die jungfräuliche Geburt des Messias für die Menschheit - ist Marias Jungfräulichkeit überhaupt wichtig und heilsnotwendig? 1 Vgl. Betz, 1025 und vgl. Beinert, 87/ 88. 2 Im Folgenden auch als "J." abgekürzt.

Book excerpt: Die marmorne Liegestatue der frühchristlichen Jungfrau und Märtyrerin Cäcilie, die sich seit ihrer Entstehung zum Jubeljahr 1600 an ihrem ursprünglichen Aufstellungsort in Rom befindet, gilt aufgrund innovativer Rahmung und Formensprache als bahnbrechend in der westlichen Kunst. Im Hinblick auf ihren kulturellen, religiösen, sozialen und politischen Hintergrund wurde sie aber bislang noch nie umfassend untersucht. Die vorliegende, interdisziplinäre Studie widmet sich genau diesem Kraftfeld. Es bestimmt die Genese, Bedeutung und frühe Rezeption des Grabbildes Cäciliens wie auch des Stifters, Kardinal Paolo Camillo Sfondrato. Die Figur wirkt nicht nur im gesamten Kircheninnenraum der der Heiligen geweihten Basilika, sondern strahlt in eine wegweisende, frühmoderne Welt aus. Zugleich reflektiert sie Zeitströmungen derart, dass sie als künstlerische Summe ihrer Epoche gelten kann. The reclining marble statue of the early Christian virgin martyr Cecilia, completed by the Holy Year of 1600 and still in its original setting in the Roman basilica bearing the saint’s name, has long been recognised as a seminal work in Western art. Yet its cultural, religious, social and political background has never been comprehensively investigated. This interdisciplinary analysis explores the constellation of forces that shaped the genesis, meaning and early reception of the sculpture – a funeral image for both its donor, Cardinal Paolo Camillo Sfondrato, and Cecilia – as well as its impact on the church interior and the contemporary viewer. The cult image emerges as a synthesis of an epoch that is fundamental to our understanding of early modern culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Theologie - Systematische Theologie, Note: 1,0, Evangelische Hochschule Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Jesus von Nazareth wurde nach biblischer Überlieferung von einer jungen Frau namens Maria geboren, von der Christinnen und Christen weltweit bekennen, sie sei am Tag der Niederkunft Jungfrau gewesen. „Geboren von der Jungfrau Maria“ heißt der entsprechende Bekenntnissatz im christologischen Teil des Credos, über dessen Wahrheitsgehalt und Bedeutung für den Glauben an Jesus Christus kontrovers diskutiert wird. Wenn nun das Bekenntnis zu Jesus Christus als dem Messias, dem Gottessohn diesen Glaubenssatz enthält, ist es dann auch verpflichtend für Christinnen und Christen, daran zu glauben? Oder ist man etwa kein Christ, wenn man diese Jungfrauengeburt nicht zu glauben gewillt oder imstande ist? Stellt die Jungfrauengeburt ein historisches Faktum dar? Der Frage nach der Bedeutung und dem Stellenwert der jungfräulichen Geburt für den Glauben soll in dieser Arbeit nachgegangen werden.
Download or read book Manuscripts Don t Burn written by Julie A. E. Curtis and published by Bloomsbury UK. This book was released on 1991 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his own lifetime, Russian novelist and playwright Mikhail Bulgakov was scarcely published. A quarter of a century after his death, his novel, "The Master and the Margarita", has become a worldwide bestseller.;In this book, J.A.E. Curtis presents a chronicle of Bulgakov's life. She is the only Westerner to have been granted access to either his or his wife's diaries which record the nightmarish precariousness of life during the Stalinist purges. She combines this with extracts from letters to and from Bulgakov and with her own commentary. She also includes letters to Stalin, in which Bulgalov pleads to be allowed to emigrate; letters to his siblings; intimate notes to his second and third wives; and letters to and from other writers such as Gorky and Zamyatin.
Download or read book Germany written by Neil MacGregor and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past 140 years, Germany has been the central power in continental europe. Twenty-five years ago a new German state came into being. How much do we really understand this new Germany, and how do its people understand themselves? Neil MacGregor argues that, uniquely for any European country, no coherent, overarching narrative of Germany's history can be constructed, for in Germany both geography and history have always been unstable. Its frontiers have constantly shifted. Königsberg, home to the greatest German philosopher, Immanuel Kant, is now Kaliningrad, Russia; Strasbourg, in whose cathedral Wolfgang von Geothe, Germany's greatest writer, discovered the distinctiveness of his country's art and history, now lies within the borders of France. For most of the five hundred years covered by this book Germany has been composed of many separate political units, each with a distinct history. And any comfortable national story Germans might have told themselves before 1914 was destroyed by the events of the following thirty years. German history may be inherently fragmented, but it contains a large number of widely shared memories, awarenesses, and experiences; examining some of these is the purpose of this book. MacGregor chooses objects and ideas, people and places that still resonate in the new Germany—porcelain from Dresden and rubble from its ruins, Bauhaus design and the German sausage, the crown of Charlemagne and the gates of Buchenwald—to show us something of its collective imagination. There has never been a book about Germany quite like it.

Download or read book Emperor Worship and Roman Religion written by Ittai Gradel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Roman religion worshipped a number of gods, one kind in particular aroused the fury of early Christians and the wonder of scholars: the cult of Roman emperors alive or dead. Was the divinity of emperors a glue that held the Empire together? Were rulers such as Julius Caesar and Caligula simply mad to expect such worship of themselves? Or was it rather a phenomenon which has only been rendered incomprehensible by modern and monotheistic ideas of what religion is--or should be--all about? This book presents the first study of emperor worship among the Romans themselves, both in Rome and in its heartland Italy. It argues that emperor worship was indeed perfectly in keeping with Roman religious tradition, which has been generally misunderstood by a posterity imbued with radically different notions of the relationship between humans and the divine.

Download or read book Court Culture in Dresden written by H. Watanabe-O'Kelly and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-03-07 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first cultural history of Baroque Dresden, the capital of Saxony and the most important Protestant territory in the Empire from the mid-sixteenth to the early eighteenth century. Helen Watanabe-O'Kelly shows how the art patronage of the Electors fits into the intellectual climate of the age and investigates its political and religious context. Lutheran church music and architecture, the influence of Italy, the cabinet of curiosities and the culture of collecting, alchemy, mining and early technology, official image-making and court theatre are some of the wealth of colourful subjects dealt with during the period 1553 to 1733.
Download or read book Gnostica Judaica Catholica Collected Essays of Gilles Quispel written by Gilles Quispel and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-12-31 with total page 864 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a rich and varied collection of essays by Gilles Quispel (1916-2006), Professor of the History of the Early Church at Utrecht University from 1951 until his retirement in 1983. During his illustrious career, Professor Quispel was also visiting Professor at Harvard University in 1964/65, and visiting Professor at the Catholic University of Leuven from 1969 until 1974. The fifty essays collected in this volume testify to most of the prominent themes from Professor Quispel’s scholarly career: the writings of the Nag Hammadi library in general and the Gospel of Thomas in particular; Tatian’s Diatessaron and its influences; the Hermetica; Mani and Manichaeism; the Jewish origins of Gnosticism; and Gnosis and the future of Christianity. This volume also makes a number of his less known earlier publications (mainly presented under the heading ‘Catholica’) available to the international community. Until shortly before he died, Professor Quispel remained active in his study of the Gospel of Thomas. He had been one of the first to acquire the Coptic text of the Gospel of Thomas, of which he published the first translation in 1959 and his final translation in 2005. He was also active in researching the Diatessaron, and Valentinus ‘the Gnostic’. One of his most recent essays – published for the first time in this volume – is on ‘the Muslim Jesus.’
