Download or read book The Religious Worlds of the Laity in Late Antique Gaul written by Lisa Kaaren Bailey and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-07 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity in the late antique world was not imposed but embraced, and the laity were not passive members of their religion but had a central role in its creation. This volume explores the role of the laity in Gaul, bringing together the fields of history, archaeology and theology. First, this book follows the ways in which clergy and monks tried to shape and manufacture lay religious experience. They had themselves constructed the category of 'the laity', which served as a negative counterpart to their self-definition. Lay religious experience was thus shaped in part by this need to create difference between categories. The book then focuses on how the laity experienced their religion, how they interpreted it and how their decisions shaped the nature of the Church and of their faith. This part of the study pays careful attention to the diversity of the laity in this period, their religious environments, ritual engagement, behaviours, knowledge and beliefs. The first volume to examine laity in this period in Gaul – a key region for thinking about the transition from Roman rule to post-Roman society – The Religious Worlds of the Laity in Late Antique Gaul fills an important gap in current literature.

Download or read book Christianizing Egypt written by David Frankfurter and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a culture become Christian, especially one that is heir to such ancient traditions and spectacular monuments as Egypt? This book offers a new model for envisioning the process of Christianization by looking at the construction of Christianity in the various social and creative worlds active in Egyptian culture during late antiquity. As David Frankfurter shows, members of these different social and creative worlds came to create different forms of Christianity according to their specific interests, their traditional idioms, and their sense of what the religion could offer. Reintroducing the term “syncretism” for the inevitable and continuous process by which a religion is acculturated, the book addresses the various formations of Egyptian Christianity that developed in the domestic sphere, the worlds of holy men and saints’ shrines, the work of craftsmen and artisans, the culture of monastic scribes, and the reimagination of the landscape itself, through processions, architecture, and the potent remains of the past. Drawing on sermons and magical texts, saints’ lives and figurines, letters and amulets, and comparisons with Christianization elsewhere in the Roman empire and beyond, Christianizing Egypt reconceives religious change—from the “conversion” of hearts and minds to the selective incorporation and application of strategies for protection, authority, and efficacy, and for imagining the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is an examination of the principal ancient translations of Gen. 4.1-16 in the Hebrew Bible. The goal is to understand the translation techniques adopted by the translators, to what extent external influences may have affected their work, and how each version communicates its message through its literary form. In addition to the versional renderings of the Hebrew text, this inquiry also takes into account various ancient Jewish and Christian interpretations of the Cain narrative. The primary focus of the work is on the diverse exegetical tendencies of Hebrew Bible translation in the ancient world and on how these interpretations were transmitted in particular cultural milieus.
Download or read book Le christianisme antique 3e d written by Paul Mattéi and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2024-10-16 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment une secte périphérique s’est-elle muée en religion universelle, socle de civilisations ? Tout commence par une rupture, lente, et non voulue : le « mouvement de Jésus », né d’un judaïsme polymorphe, et lui-même divers, mit un siècle, et davantage, à s’émanciper. Jetée dans le monde hellénistico-romain, la foi nouvelle connaît la persécution et s’affronte à la culture ambiante ; elle se bâtit, sur un double plan : doctrinal (la « Grande Église » crée son orthodoxie, contre les « hérésies ») et structurel (les instances de régulation se fixent). Le IIIe siècle marque un tournant, tragique parfois : communautés plus nombreuses, plus étoffées et plus bigarrées, institutions consolidées, survenue de théologiens majeurs, champ élargi des normes disciplinaires, balbutiements d’un art. Quand Constantin se convertit, le christianisme, minoritaire, n’est plus un phénomène marginal : le bon plaisir de l’empereur ne l’a pas tiré du néant... Telle est la courbe, aléatoire, qu’entend décrire ce livre, textes à l’appui. Il le fait sans oublier qu’ici, plus qu’ailleurs peut-être, la description ne peut se déployer que sur un fond épais d’incertitudes et dans un flot pressé de remises en question. Paul MATTEI, ancien élève de l’École Normale Supérieure de Saint-Cloud, est professeur de langue et littérature latines à l’Université Lumière (Lyon 2) et conseiller scientifique de la Collection « Sources Chrétiennes ».

Download or read book Failure of Empire written by Noel Lenski and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Failure of Empire is the first comprehensive biography of the Roman emperor Valens and his troubled reign (A.D. 364-78). Valens will always be remembered for his spectacular defeat and death at the hands of the Goths in the Battle of Adrianople. This singular misfortune won him a front-row seat among history's great losers. By the time he was killed, his empire had been coming unglued for several years: the Goths had overrun the Balkans; Persians, Isaurians, and Saracens were threatening the east; the economy was in disarray; and pagans and Christians alike had been exiled, tortured, and executed in his religious persecutions. Valens had not, however, entirely failed in his job as emperor. He was an admirable administrator, a committed defender of the frontiers, and a ruler who showed remarkable sympathy for the needs of his subjects. In lively style and rich detail, Lenski incorporates a broad range of new material, from archaeology to Gothic and Armenian sources, in a study that illuminates the social, cultural, religious, economic, administrative, and military complexities of Valens's realm. Failure of Empire offers a nuanced reconsideration of Valens the man and shows both how he applied his strengths to meet the expectations of his world and how he ultimately failed in his efforts to match limited capacities to limitless demands.
