Book Synopsis The Archaeology of Early Christianity by : W. H. C. Frend
Download or read book The Archaeology of Early Christianity written by W. H. C. Frend and published by Augsburg Fortress Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spectacular recent discoveries and a stream of material artifacts have heightened interest in what archaeology can tell us about early Christianity. The first of its kind, William Frend's important and engaging work tells the full story of the archaeological search for early Christianity. He shows how, despite nationalisms, religious rivalry, and personal ambition, archaeology since Napoleon's time has excavated important sites and developed scientific methods to explore them. He explains the important light archaeology sheds on the art, architecture, and social world of Christians in the Roman Empire. He shows how archaeology enriches our understanding of Jewish-Christian relations in the first centuries, and provides clues to long-ignored popular religion and non-orthodox traditions of the Donatists, Manichees, and Monophysites. And he shows how archaeology decisively corrects and modifies text-based scholarly consensus on the mission of Christianity in the Roman Empire.

Book Synopsis Christian Archæology by : Charles W. Bennett
Download or read book Christian Archæology written by Charles W. Bennett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Archæology It is with much diffidence that I send forth upon its mission this work on Christian Archaeology. I will let that veteran Christian archæologist, Dr. Piper, my much-revered instructor, speak of the need of some such book as this. In the Introductory Note, which he has had the great kindness to furnish, the scope and value of this Discipline are sketched in his own inimitable style. While the master speaks it behooves the pupil to keep silence. The arrangement is a departure from the usual one. I have thought that by giving the Archæology of Christian Art the first place in the discussion, the results of this study could best be utilized in the illustration of the Constitution, Worship, and Lite of the Church. It only remains for me to express my sincerest appreciation of the kindly encouragement and aid which have been so freely given me both at home and abroad. It would be invidious ti make distinctions, but to my associates in theological instruction, to friends who have helped me in making the requisite travels for personal study of monuments, to my most highly esteemed preceptor and guide in the Berlin University, and to those who have assisted in the proof-readings and indexing, I would express my especial obligations. If careful readers of the work would communicate to me any errors which they may discover, it would be regarded as a personal favour, as well as help to the attainment of truth.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook of Early Christian Art by : Robin M. Jensen
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Early Christian Art written by Robin M. Jensen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-20 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Early Christian Art surveys a broad spectrum of Christian art produced from the late second to the sixth centuries. The first part of the book opens with a general survey of the subject and then presents fifteen essays that discuss specific media of visual art—catacomb paintings, sculpture, mosaics, gold glass, gems, reliquaries, ceramics, icons, ivories, textiles, silver, and illuminated manuscripts. Each is written by a noted expert in the field. The second part of the book takes up themes relevant to the study of early Christian art. These seven chapters consider the ritual practices in decorated spaces, the emergence of images of Christ’s Passion and miracles, the functions of Christian secular portraits, the exemplary mosaics of Ravenna, the early modern history of Christian art and archaeology studies, and further reflection on this field called “early Christian art.” Each of the volume’s chapters includes photographs of many of the objects discussed, plus bibliographic notes and recommendations for further reading. The result is an invaluable introduction to and appraisal of the art that developed out of the spread of Christianity through the late antique world. Undergraduate and graduate students of late classical, early Christian, and Byzantine culture, religion, or art will find it an accessible and insightful orientation to the field. Additionally, professional academics, archivists, and curators working in these areas will also find it valuable as a resource for their own research, as well as a textbook or reference work for their students.
Book Synopsis Early Christian Art and Architecture by : Guntram Koch
Download or read book Early Christian Art and Architecture written by Guntram Koch and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early Christian period, especially the time between the third and sixth centuries, is one of the most fascinating in church history. The Christianity which developed into a state church in the Roman empire during the fourth century gave new content to traditional Graeco-Roman art and adapted it to changed needs. Different forms of churches, monasteries and baptisms came into being, as did Christian art in paintings, mosaics and sculptures; biblical manuscripts were illustrated and liturgical furnishings and vessels were given new form. Here for the first time in a single volume is an account of architecture sacred and profane, funerary art in catacombs and tombs and especially sarcophagi, the graphic arts and the various forms of art in miniature. The text is illustrated with numerous line drawings and photographs, including ground plans and elevations of churches, actual and conjectural, and there are full descriptions of the art and architecture discussed against its social and historical background. In addition there are full bibliographies and details of the most important collections of Christian art. This will prove not only an invaluable work for art historians but also a guide for those travelling in the Mediterranean area and an indication of the riches of the first centuries of the church. Guntram Koch is Professor of Christian Archaeology and the History of Byzantine Art in the University of Marburg.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Archaeology written by David K. Pettegrew and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-20 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Archaeology brings together expert work by leading scholars of the archaeology of Early Christianity and the Roman world in the Mediterranean and surrounding regions. The thirty-four contributions to this volume survey Christian material culture and ground the history, culture, and society of the first seven centuries of Christianity in archaeological method, theory, and research. The essays emphasize the link between archaeological fieldwork, methods, and regional and national traditions in constructing our knowledge of the Early Church and Christian communities within the context of the ancient Mediterranean, Near East, and Europe. Three sweeping introductory essays provide historical perspectives on the archaeology of the Early Christian world. These are followed by a series of topical treatments that focus on monuments and environments ranging from Christian churches to catacombs, martyria, and baths, as well as classes of objects of religious significance such as ceramics, lamps, and icons. Finally, the volume locates the archaeology of the Early Christian world in fifteen regional studies stretching from Britain to Persia, highlighting the unique historical contexts that have shaped scholarly discussion across time and space. The thorough, carefully-researched essays offer the most intensive, state-of-the-art treatment of recent research into the archaeology of Early Christianity available.
