Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While rape and sexual violence is a topic that has been well-covered in the areas of Classics and Biblical Studies, there has been relatively little written about this subject that focuses exclusively on late Antique Christianity. Previous work in these fields has been oriented around legal definitions of rape in antiquity, the modern concept of consent, or theological engagement with biblical rape stories. This project uses modern philosophical approaches to sexual violence to analyze the rhetorical function of sexual violence in early Christian literature of primarily the 4th-6th centuries CE in the Latin West. The first two chapters explore how rape threats are used in fictionalized Christian literature, across a variety of genres, to shape expectations for appropriate behavior for Christian women. The threat of sexual violence is a tool deployed by anonymous authors and ecclesiastical and ascetic leaders, such as Ambrose of Milan and Jerome, to keep Christian women, and virgins in particular, in line. Sexual violence was not, however, merely an imaginary horror, but a very real one, too. Chapter three addresses the leap from the imagination to reality, and how ecclesiastical leaders like Augustine of Hippo and Pope Leo I addressed and categorized the raped virgins in their flock. This project offers a study of sexual violence across genres, across time, and across imagination and reality to demonstrate the rhetorical usefulness of sexual violence, both as a threat and as a lived experience, in early Christian literature. Sexual violence, and the threat thereof, helped shape the spiritual hierarchy of early Christian communities and revealed changing attitudes about physical embodiment, purity, and virginity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This explores the question of when and why violence by and against new religious cults erupts and whether and how such dramatic conflicts can be foreseen, managed and averted. The authors, leading international experts on religious movements and violent behavior, focus on the four major episodes of cult violence during the last decade: the tragic conflagration that engulfed the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas; the deadly sarin gas attack by the Aum Shinrikyo in Tokyo; the murder-suicides by the Solar Temple in Switzerland and Canada; and the collective suicide by the members of Heaven's Gate. They explore the dynamics leading to these dramatic episodes in North America, Europe, and Asia, and offer insights into the general relationship between violence and religious cults in contemporary society. The authors conclude that these events usually involve some combination of internal and external dynamics through which a new religious movement and society become polarized.

Download or read book Violence written by Toby Miller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using discourses from across the conceptual and geographical board, Toby Miller argues for a different way of understanding violence, one that goes beyond supposedly universal human traits to focus instead on the specificities of history, place, and population as explanations for it. Violence engages these issues in a wide-ranging interdisciplinary form, examining definitions and data, psychology and ideology, gender, nation-states, and the media by covering several foundational questions: how has violence been defined, historically and geographically? has it decreased or increased over time? which regions of the world are the most violent? does violence correlate with economies, political systems, and religions? what is the relationship of gender and violence? what role do the media play? This book is a powerful introduction to the study of violence, ideal for students and researchers across the human sciences, most notably sociology, American and area studies, history, media and communication studies, politics, literature, and cultural studies.
Download or read book Seventh day Adventist Christian Do You Know Who You Are written by and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you know who you are? “Of course I know who I am! I am Professor John Smith of Someplace, USA, born to Bob and Patty Smith.” But I’m not talking about your name, your profession, where you live, or who your parents are. Let me reword the question. Do you know who you are in terms of your religious beliefs and relationship with God? “Of course I know who I am! I am a Seventh-day Adventist.” OK, but what does that mean? Dr. Max Hammonds proposes that it goes beyond simply saying that we obey ALL of the Ten Commandments and that Jesus is coming back to take His followers home to heaven. Presented in this book is a carefully reasoned and biblically sound exploration of familiar topics that we always thought we understood. With warm personal stories told in the style of a private conversation at a quiet retreat, Dr. Hammonds works through the basic fundamentals of what it means to be a Christian and a Seventh-day Adventist in the real world, living for God during the Time of the End. This is not just another book about Adventist doctrines. This book gets at the heart of Christianity while focusing on the special calling we have as Adventists.

Book excerpt: A parent’s worst nightmare sets the stage for the exhilarating new thriller in Robert K. Tanenbaum’s New York Times bestselling Butch Karp series. New York District Attorney Butch Karp has no qualms about putting David and Nonie Ellis on trial following the excruciating death of their young son, Micah. To him, the case is cut-and-dried—reckless manslaughter. Helpless ten-year-old Micah counted on his parents to protect him from the effects of a rare but treatable cancer. Instead, the Ellis family relied solely on prayer and the guidance of snake-oil salesman Reverend C. G. Westlund, of the End of Days Reformation Church of Jesus Christ Resurrected, to save him. Westlund and his zealous followers set up camp outside the DA’s office, angrily protesting the indictment of their “brother” and “sister,” but the charismatic leader’s true objective is to create a diversion from an alarming fraud. He coerced Nonie Ellis into signing an insurance policy that listed himself and the church as beneficiaries in the event of Micah’s death, but he needs the Ellises to be exonerated to get the payout. When David Ellis discovers the deception, no amount of faith can save him from his gruesome fate. Amid the firestorm of controversy surrounding the case, Karp’s wife, private investigator Marlene Ciampi, heads to Memphis to uncover Westlund’s past. The evidence she finds is enough to blow the top off the con man’s scheme—if she doesn’t get herself blown away in the process. Back in Manhattan, meanwhile, Karp is confronted by a deadly nemesis from the past who has explosive plans of her own. The edge-of-your-seat action comes to a head at the annual Halloween parade when a merciless struggle between good and evil metes out its own fatal form of justice.
