Regna and Gentes.

Brill Academic Publishers

- Regna and Gentes – edited by H. – W. Goetz J. Jarnut and W Pohl

Late Antiquity, no doubt, was a “time of transition or rather transitions”.  In spite of extensive research on the “Germanic” (or, from the Roman point of view, “barbarian”) invasions and the successor states of the Roman Empire, comparatively little attention has been paid to the “transition of peoples”, or their “developing” into kingdoms. As far as we can see, research on the Later Roman Empire and the late antique and early medieval kingdoms has focused on four aspects: first, the “Great Migration”, second, the decline of the Empire (including the role of migration and of the barbarian hordes in this process), third, the ethnogenesis of the “Germanic” peoples, and fourth, the rise of (single) kingdoms.

Augustine – Political Writings. (Cambridge Texts In The History Of Political Thought) – [2001]

Augustine – Political Writings.

(click on link for download)

This collection brings together thirty-five letters and sermons of Augustine, bishop of Hippo from 396 to 430, that deal with political matters. The letters and sermons are both practical and principled and treat many essential themes in Augustine’s thought, including the responsibilities of citizenship, the relationship between the church and secular authority, religious coercion, and war and peace. These texts complement Augustine’s classic The City of God against the Pagans (also available in the Cambridge Texts series), and give students direct insight into the political and social world of late antiquity with which Augustine was immediately involved. The slave trade, tax collection, clerical harassment, and murder are amongst the topics with which he deals.

The volume contains clear, accurate modern translations, together with a concise introduction and informative notes designed to aid the student encountering Augustine’s life and thought for the first time.

The Revelation of the Name YHWH to Moses

The Revelation of the Name YHWH to Moses.

(Brill Sept. 2006 e-Book)

The revelation of YHWH’s name to Moses, described in chapters 3 & 6 of the Book of Exodus, is a momentous event according to the Old Testament. The name ‘Yahweh’, connected with the phrase ehyeh asher ehyeh (‘I am that I am’; Exod 3:14), is of central importance in Judaism, and ‘Yahwism’ became tantamount to Jewish monotheism. As such, this designation of God also attracted the attention of pagan writers in the Graeco-Roman period. And early Christians, who considered themselves to be in direct continuity with Judaism, had to deal with this divine name as well. These three perspectives on YHWH—from the point of view of the Old Testament & Early Judaism, the pagan Graeco-Roman World, and the New Testament & Early Christianity, respectively—constitute the framework for this volume. The papers were presented at the 2004 Themes in Biblical Narrative conference, which took place at the Faculty of Theology & Religious Studies of the University of Groningen from 26th–27th July 2004. That year the conference coincided with, and formed part of, the International Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) and the International Organization of Qumran Studies (IOQS), which met in Groningen at the same time. This must have been the largest gathering of biblical scholars ever witnessed by the university in the almost four centuries since its foundation in 1614.

Athanasius and Constantius. Theology and politics in the Constantian Empire.

Athanasius was plainly a violent Party·Man, and the known Head of a Party; and is therefore no more to be depended on in Matters wherein himself and his own Affairs were particularly concern’d than others, the like Party-Men, and Heads of Parties are to be in parallel Cases.  And I need not tell the Honest and Impartial, especially in this Age of Division and Faction, how little Regard is to be given to such Testimonies.

Authority and ascetism from Augustine to Gregory The Great

Authority and ascetism from Augustine to Gregory The Great.

Conrad Leyser examines the formation of the Christian ascetic tradition in the western Roman Empire during the period of the barbarian invasions, c .400-600. In an aggressively competitive political context, one of the most articulate claims to power was made, paradoxically, by men who had renounced ‘the world’, committing themselves to a life of spiritual discipline in the hope of gaining entry to an otherworldly kingdom. Often dismissed as mere fanaticism or open hypocrisy, the language of ascetic authority, Conrad Leyser shows, was both carefully honed and well understood in the late Roman and early medieval Mediterranean. Dr Leyser charts the development of this new moral rhetoric by abbots, teachers, and bishops from the time of Augustine of Hippo to that of St Benedict and Gregory the Great.

The Cambridge Companion to Orthodox Christian Theology

[2008] Cunningham, M. & Theokritoff, E. (eds.) -

The Cambridge companion to Orthodox Christian Theology.

(click on link for download)

powered by Cambridge Collections Online © Cambridge University Press, 2009

Orthodox Christian theology is often presented as the direct inheritor of the doctrine and tradition of the early Church. But continuity with the past is only part of the truth; it would be false to conclude that the eastern section of the Christian Church is in any way static. Orthodoxy, building on its patristic foundations, has blossomed in the modern period. This volume focuses on the way Orthodox theological tradition is understood and lived today. It explores the Orthodox understanding of what theology is: an expression of the Church’s life of prayer, both corporate and personal, from which it can never be separated. Besides discussing aspects of doctrine, the book portrays the main figures, themes and developments that have shaped Orthodox thought. There is particular focus on the Russian and Greek traditions, as well as the dynamic but less well-known Antiochian tradition and the Orthodox presence in the West.

Apa….şi/sau noi? Iubirea si rostul nostru de a fi în armonie cu izvorul iubirii – Dumnezeu!

Water Wars Un frumos documentar cu privire la cercetarile japonezului Masaru Emoto în formarea cristalului de apă în prezenţa a diferite medii influenţabile, benefic sau nu, până şi a gândurilor, sentimentelor, muzicii, cuvintelor rostite sau chiar scrise…

Însuşi omul având în compoziţia sa chimică într-o proporţie covârşitoare APA, ne putim gândi cu emoţie ce influenţe pot avea gândurile, cuvintele rostite, cu bucurie sau cu ură, asupra persoanelor, dacă asupra apei au un rol fundamental.

Această descoperire va schimba modul în care lumea va privi de acum sentimentele, credinţa, bună-voinţa, mai cu seamă Iubirea, care pe toate le rabdă, pe toate le schimbă, în armonie, şi fără de care nimic nu îşi are rostul spre fericire, spre veşnicie.
