Download or read book Socialism of Fools written by Michele Battini and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Socialism of Fools, Michele Battini focuses on the critical moment during the Enlightenment in which anti-Jewish stereotypes morphed into a sophisticated, modern social anti-Semitism. He recovers the potent anti-Jewish, anticapitalist propaganda that cemented the idea of a Jewish conspiracy in the European mind and connects it to the atrocities that characterized the Jewish experience in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Beginning in the eighteenth century, counter-Enlightenment intellectuals and intransigent Catholic writers singled out Jews for conspiring to exploit self-sustaining markets and the liberal state. These ideas spread among socialist and labor movements in the nineteenth century and intensified during the Long Depression of the 1870s. Anti-Jewish anticapitalism then migrated to the Habsburg Empire with the Christian Social Party; to Germany with the Anti-Semitic Leagues; to France with the nationalist movements; and to Italy, where Revolutionary Syndicalists made anti-Jewish anticapitalism the basis of an alliance with the nationalists. Exemplified best in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the infamous document that "leaked" Jewish plans to conquer the world, the Jewish-conspiracy myth inverts reality and creates a perverse relationship to historical and judicial truth. Isolating the intellectual roots of this phenomenon and its contemporary resonances, Battini shows us why, so many decades after the Holocaust, Jewish people continue to be a powerful political target.

Download or read book The Silencing of Slaves in Early Jewish and Christian Texts written by Ronald Charles and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Silencing of Slaves in Early Jewish and Christian Texts analyzes a large corpus of early Christian texts and Pseudepigraphic materials to understand how the authors of these texts used, abused and silenced enslaved characters to articulate their own social, political, and theological visions. The focus is on excavating the texts from below or against the grain in order to notice the slaves, and in so doing, to problematize and (re)imagine the narratives. Noticing the slaves as literary iterations means paying attention to broader theological, ideological, and rhetorical aims of the texts within which enslaved bodies are constructed. The analysis demonstrates that by silencing slaves and using a rhetoric of violence, the authors of these texts contributed to the construction of myths in which slaves functioned as a useful trope to support the combined power of religion and empire. Thus was created not only the perfect template for the rise and development of a Christian discourse of slavery, but also a rationale for subsequent violence exercised against slave bodies within the Christian Empire. The study demonstrates the value of using the tools and applying the insights of subaltern studies to the study of the Pseudepigrapha and in early Christian texts. This volume will be of interest not only to scholars of early Christianity, but also to those working on the history of slavery and subaltern studies in antiquity.

Download or read book Preaching the Gospel to the Hellenes written by Francesco Celia and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past forty years, major Patristic scholars have radically called into question the biographical and literary profiles of Gregory Thaumaturgus (the 'Wonderworker'), considered for centuries the famous pupil of Origen and the charismatic bishop of Neocaesarea. Presenting a thorough reconsideration of the ancient sources on Gregory and the main works ascribed to him, Preaching the Gospel to the Hellenes demonstrates that the doubt cast on his traditional figure is unwarranted. The book re-establishes solid ground on which this important actor in Early Christianity can be placed and corroborates his engagement in confronting and evangelising pagans. Moreover, by taking a fresh look at information provided on Gregory by key Patristic authors and scrutinising the addressees of his works, this study sheds new light on the Christian cultural and social environment in Palestine and Asia Minor, as well as on the history of Christian theology between the third and fourth centuries.

Download or read book Letters of a Peruvian Woman written by Françoise de Graffigny and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-01-08 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It has taken me a long time, my dearest Aza, to fathom the cause of that contempt in which women are held in this country ...' Zilia, an Inca Virgin of the Sun, is captured by the Spanish conquistadores and brutally separated from her lover, Aza. She is rescued and taken to France by Déterville, a nobleman, who is soon captivated by her. One of the most popular novels of the eighteenth century, the Letters of a Peruvian Woman recounts Zilia's feelings on her separation from both her lover and her culture, and her experience of a new and alien society. Françoise de Graffigny's bold and innovative novel clearly appealed to the contemporary taste for the exotic and the timeless appetite for love stories. But by fusing sentimental fiction and social commentary, she also created a new kind of heroine, defined by her intellect as much as her feelings. The novel's controversial ending calls into question traditional assumptions about the role of women both in fiction and society, and about what constitutes 'civilization'. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Book excerpt: This modern rendition of the quatrains of Nostradamus is offered after more than three decades of research. This clarification of the enigmatic verse of Nostradamus is the most comprehensive to date that brings forth the first true understanding - a connection and meaning for the verses not heretofore seen. Each of the verses of the quatrains of Nostradamus speaks about the rampant strategies of one of three Antichrists. Two of these Antichrists would dominate the human race culminating spiritual forces into the Third Antichrist - the One who would fully incarnate the supernatural forces of Satan ultimately torturing humanity in the great and final war against God bringing the End of Days and the cataclysmic changes ushering in a new age. The prophecies of Nostradamus have been in print for almost five hundred years - longer than any book except the Holy Bible. His prophecies are biblically sound. In each new generation people in nearly every nation have continued to pour over the verses of Nostradamus seeking higher truth and understanding. Nostradamus wrote poetic prophecy in the form of quatrains, four line stanzas filled with a medley of perplexing symbols and rhetoric. Each original chapter, called Centuries, contained one hundred quatrains. Even as John in Revelation, Nostradamus did not understand in high detail all the future modalities that he envisioned, and the use of symbolism allowed him to portray his visions without the limitation of mere words. In Century III, Verse 94, Nostradamus explained the fate of his work. He stated that for five centuries his verses would be shrouded in mystery. Then, in the twentieth century an interpreter would bring them to light and understanding. The quatrains of Nostradamus relay an important, divine message to humankind and contain highly moralistic, philosophical, and spiritual wisdom which cannot be ignored. Nostradamus was a prophetic messenger of the Divine Plan. The social, economic, political, and spiritual rewards make it evident that the Nostradamus verses are a divine gift in severe servitude to humanity. The primary purpose for Nostradamus' quatrains has always been to shed light upon written prophecies that were offered to the world in an effort to educate mankind in reference to human iniquities and the effects thereof rendered upon the world in which we live. But, even more, the verses were intended to help people reconnect to the Divine seeing that the spiritual world is a reality that we cannot ignore. Nostradamus wrote exclusively and specifically about Three Temporal Kings who would rise to power resulting from political events beginning in about 1700 A.D. These Antichrists would change the course of history and life on earth for beyond three hundred years until the biblical end of the world when the entire cosmic order would change into a new age. This message of the old prophet coincides directly with the messages of the honored biblical prophecies. Not even taking into account the fact of strong evidence that the quatrains are divine and intended to educate humans in reference to a higher evolutionary path, they have remained in print since the sixteenth century, are a vital part of literature today, and more than likely will be around for a very long time.

Download or read book Roman Military Law written by C. E. Brand and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rome was the law-giver for much of the modern world. She was also the greatest military power of antiquity, operating her military organization with remarkable efficiency and effectiveness throughout most of the then-known world. In view of the importance of both the legal and military aspects of the Roman Empire, an account of their combination in a system of disciplinary control for the Roman armies is of considerable significance to historians in both fields—and, in fact, to scholars in general. In Roman Military Law, C. E. Brand describes this system of control. Since a characterization of such a system can be made most meaningful only against a background of Roman constitutional government and in the light of ideologies current at the time, Brand follows his initial “Note on Sources” with a sketch of the contemporary Roman scene. This first section includes a discussion of the Roman constitution and an examination of Roman criminal law. The history of Rome, as a republic, principate, and empire, extended over a period of a thousand years, so any attempt to represent a generalized picture must be essentially a matter of extraction and condensation from the voluminous literature of the whole era. Nevertheless, from the fantastic evolution that is the history of Rome, Brand has been able to construct a more or less static historical mosaic that may be considered typically “Roman.” This comes into sharpest focus during the period of the Punic Wars, when the city and its people were most intensely Roman. The picture of the Roman armies is set into this basic framework, in chapters dealing with military organization, disciplinary organization, religion and discipline, and offenses and punishments. The final section of the book considers briefly the vast changes in Roman institutions that came about under the armies of the Empire, and then concludes with the Latin text and an English translation of the only known code of Roman military justice, promulgated sometime during the later Empire, preserved in Byzantine literature, and handed down to medieval times in Latin translations of Byzantine Greek law, which it has heretofore been confused.
