Download or read book The Body in Early Modern Italy written by Julia L. Hairston and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human bodies have been represented and defined in various ways across different cultures and historical periods. As an object of interpretation and site of social interaction, the body has throughout history attracted more attention than perhaps any other element of human experience. The essays in this volume explore the manifestations of the body in Italian society from the fourteenth through the seventeenth centuries. Adopting a variety of interdisciplinary approaches, these fresh and thought-provoking essays offer original perspectives on corporeality as understood in the early modern literature, art, architecture, science, and politics of Italy. An impressively diverse group of contributors comment on a broad range and variety of conceptualizations of the body, creating a rich dialogue among scholars of early modern Italy.

Download or read book Tertullian De Pallio written by Vincent Hunink and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De Pallio is one of the strangest and perhaps most difficult texts ever written in Latin. In this speech, presented before a live audience in Carthage around 200 AD, Tertullian defends his radical choice to drop the Roman toga and take up the pallium of philosophers and christians. This theme may seem innocently simple, but it has been elaborated with impressive rhetorical pyrotechnics, couched in deliberately artificial language. And is this speech profoundly christian or shamefully pagan? A work of youth or of old age? Is it a serious apology or satire? Tertullian’s De Pallio has puzzled scholars for generations, yet it has often been neglected or left aside. In this new edition the text is presented with a new English translation and a full commentary, the first one in English. Much attention is paid to the interpretation of the speaker’s often obscure words. In addition, the book puts the speech into the context of Latin Second Sophistic. De Pallio emerges as a fascinating text that stands midway between non-christian and christian literature.

Book excerpt: “Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html Apologetic Activity The time of Tertullian's ministry was a time of the most difficult trials for the Church. Christians were persecuted, they were hated, humiliated, beaten, tortured, tortured, killed. And Tertullian, sparing no energy, fearing neither scammers, nor judges, nor tormentors and executioners, spoke out in defense of Christianity so resolutely that it remains to be astonished how, in his entire life, he never ended up in prison and torture. And this despite the fact that he did not hide from persecution, but, as if challenging them, turned to the offenders in the most harsh, rough, and sometimes offensive words. Thus, he called the persecutors of the Church fierce ignoramuses, defilers of holy things; ridiculed pagan cults and mysteries, stigmatized idols and idols; threatened with the Judgment of God's Truth, the cup of God's wrath. At the same time, his apologetic works were filled with clear theological and logical argumentation. In times of persecution, it often happened that Christians were not killed immediately after being exposed as belonging to the Church, but were subjected to terrible beatings and torture, wanting to force them to publicly renounce Christ, to offer sacrifices to pagan gods, and to be defiled with sacrificial blood. Categorically objecting to such violence, Tertullian explained to the executioners that if the pagan gods existed in reality, then they would be pleased not with feigned, but with voluntary sacrifices, unless, of course, their gods were litigious. In addition, as a means of protection, he often used provisions from the field of law (this was reflected in his good legal preparedness). Calling on common sense, Tertullian noticed that criminals are tortured not so that they refuse to be involved in atrocities, but in order to give truthful confessions, rather than confess to their crimes. Christians, on the contrary, are tortured with the aim that they refuse to call themselves Christians: that is, they refuse to recognize themselves as criminals and guilty of breaking the law. He saw this as absurd. Tertullian countered the accusations of Christians of violating moral norms, hatred of power, including the emperor, with arguments that refuted the arguments of the accusing party, explained and showed that not Christians, but pagans themselves lead a vicious life, incite hatred in society; Christians are in love and prayer. In addition to defending Christianity from pagans, Tertullian also defended it from attacks by Jewish fanatics. ... Creative Legacy Tertullian left behind a large number of writings. Some of them, such as: Apologetics, To the Gentiles, To the Scapula, Against the Jews, etc., have an apologetic orientation. Others - Against Marcion in five books, Against Hermogenes, Against Praxeas, On Baptism, On the Testimony of the Soul, On the Prescription [Against] Heretics, Against Valentinians - dogmatic-polemical. Belonging to the third group of his works, moral and ascetic, are: On Repentance, On Prayer, On Chastity, On Patience, Epistle to the Wife, Epistle to the Martyrs, On the Attire of Women, etc. ... All doctrine which agrees with the apostolic churches, those nurseries and original depositories of faith, must be regarded as truth, and as undoubtedly constituting what the churches received from the Apostles, what the Apostles received from Christ, and what Christ received from God. – Prescription against Heretics 21 Table of Contents Apologetic. 3 Scorpiac, or the Antidote for Scorpion Remorse * 69 About Baptism... 99 On Prescription [Against] Heretics. 117 About the Testimony of the Soul 153 About the Soul 163 De Anima [Latin] 332 About Spectacles. 391 About Prayer. 421 About Repentance. 441 About Patience. 461 About Chastity. 481 About the Warrior's Crown. 499 Epistle to the Martyrs. 527 Biography. 535

Download or read book Religious Transformations in the Early Modern Americas written by Stephanie Kirk and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity took root in the Americas during the early modern period when a historically unprecedented migration brought European clergy, religious seekers, and explorers to the New World. Protestant and Catholic settlers undertook the arduous journey for a variety of motivations. Some fled corrupt theocracies and sought to reclaim ancient principles and Christian ideals in a remote unsettled territory. Others intended to glorify their home nations and churches by bringing new lands and subjects under the rule of their kings. Many imagined the indigenous peoples they encountered as "savages" awaiting the salvific force of Christ. Whether by overtly challenging European religious authority and traditions or by adapting to unforeseen hardship and resistance, these envoys reshaped faith, liturgy, and ecclesiology and fundamentally transformed the practice and theology of Christianity. Religious Transformations in the Early Modern Americas explores the impact of colonial encounters in the Atlantic world on the history of Christianity. Essays from across disciplines examine religious history from a spatial perspective, tracing geographical movements and population dispersals as they were shaped by the millennial designs and evangelizing impulses of European empires. At the same time, religion provides a provocative lens through which to view patterns of social restriction, exclusion, and tension, as well as those of acculturation, accommodation, and resistance in a comparative colonial context. Through nuanced attention to the particularities of faith, especially Anglo-Protestant settlements in North America and the Ibero-Catholic missions in Latin America, Religious Transformations in the Early Modern Americas illuminates the complexity and variety of the colonial world as it transformed a range of Christian beliefs.

Download or read book Enoch from Antiquity to the Middle Ages written by John C. Reeves and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the ancient and medieval literature of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, one finds references to the antediluvian sage Enoch. Both the Book of the Watchers and the Astronomical Book were long known from their Ethiopic versions, which are preserved as part of Mashafa Henok Nabiy ('Book of Enoch the Prophet')--an Enochic compendium known in the West as 1 Enoch. Since the discovery of Aramaic fragments among the Dead Sea Scrolls, these books have attracted renewed attention as important sources for ancient Judaism. Among the results has been the recognition of the surprisingly long and varied tradition surrounding Enoch. Within 1 Enoch alone, for instance, we find evidence for intensive literary creativity. This volume provides a comprehensive set of core references for easy and accessible consultation. It shows that the rich afterlives of Enochic texts and traditions can be studied more thoroughly by scholars of Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity as well as by scholars of late antique and medieval religions. Specialists in the Second Temple period-the era in which Enochic literature first appears-will be able to trace (or discount) the survival of Enochic motifs and mythemes within Jewish literary circles from late antiquity into the Middle Ages, thereby shedding light on the trajectories of Jewish apocalypticism and its possible intersections with Jewish mysticism. Students of Near Eastern esotericism and Hellenistic philosophies will have further data for exploring the origins of 'gnosticism' and its possible impact upon sectarian currents in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Those interested in the intellectual symbiosis among Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the Middle Ages-and especially in the transmission of the ancient sciences associated with Hermeticism (e.g., astrology, theurgy, divinatory techniques, alchemy, angelology, demonology)-will be able to view a chain of tradition reconstructed in its entirety for the first time in textual form. In the process, we hope to provide historians of religion with a new tool for assessing the intertextual relationships between different religious corpora and for understanding the intertwined histories of the major religious communities of the ancient and medieval Near East.

Download or read book The Prophetic Body written by Anathea E Portier-Young and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern study of biblical prophecy frequently defines prophecy as a message from God and has focused almost exclusively on prophets' words. But prophecy was always also embodied. Anathea E. Portier-Young insists on the synergy of word and body in biblical prophecy. Prophets did more than reveal knowledge: the prophetic body connected God and people, making them present to one another, channeling divine power, traveling between realms. Drawing insights from disciplines ranging from neurobiology to cultural studies, the author examines stories of prophetic commissioning, bodily transformation, asceticism and ecstasy, mobility and immobility, affect and emotion, revealing the body's centrality to prophetic mediation.
