Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative study, Anna Miller challenges prevailing New Testament scholarship that has largely dismissed the democratic civic assembly--the ekklēsia--as an institution that retained real authority in the first century CE. Using an interdisciplinary approach, she examines a range of classical and early imperial sources to demonstrate that ekklēsia democracy continued to saturate the eastern Roman Empire, widely impacting debates over authority, gender, and speech. In the first letter to the Corinthians, she demonstrates that Paul's persuasive rhetoric is itself shaped and constrained by the democratic discourse he shares with his Corinthian audience. Miller argues that these first-century Corinthians understood their community as an authoritative democratic assembly in which leadership and "citizenship" cohered with the public speech and discernment open to each. This Corinthian identity illuminates struggles and debates throughout the letter, including those centered on leadership, community dynamics, and gender. Ultimately, Miller's study offers new insights into the tensions that inform Paul's letter. In turn, these insights have critical implications for the dialogue between early Judaism and Hellenism, the study of ancient politics and early Christianity, and the place of gender in ancient political discourse.
Book Synopsis Feminism, Queerness, Affect, and Romans by : Jimmy Hoke
Download or read book Feminism, Queerness, Affect, and Romans written by Jimmy Hoke and published by SBL Press. This book was released on 2021-10-08 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a book about submission and subversion, injustice and justice, heroes and villains." In Feminism, Queerness, Affect, and Romans: Under God? Jimmy Hoke reads Romans with an innovative, intersectional approach that produces distinctive meanings for passages that probe how queer wo/men who first encountered Paul's letter could have engaged with it. Though Paul's letter to the Romans arguably contains the Bible’s strongest condemnation of queer wo/men (1:26–27), that is not the letter's full story. Hoke turns a feminist and queer gaze toward Paul’s conception of faith and ethics, making explicit how Paul's theology throughout Romans has been affectively motivated by imperial notions of gender, race, and sexuality. Moving beyond Paul's singular voice, Hoke engages with a feminist and queer praxis of assemblage to generate plausible ways wo/men of Rome interacted with this epistle. By engaging affect theory, Hoke brings to life not only ideas and words but the feelings and sensations that moved in-between some of the earliest Christ-followers, revealing how queer wo/men were there among them and what that means for queer wo/men today. Hoke includes a reader's guide with key terms used throughout the book, making this an excellent option for both students and scholars beginning to engage not only Paul's letters but also the complex worlds of feminist, queer, and affect theories.

Book Synopsis The Origins and Development of Ancient Greek Democracy by : James Lawrence O'Neil
Download or read book The Origins and Development of Ancient Greek Democracy written by James Lawrence O'Neil and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 1995 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Archaic Era of Greek history the aristocratic control of government was undermined by the increasing wealth and internal security of the city-states. Democracy was one of many new forms of government to emerge, and until the fifth century a wide variety of models of democratic government were tried, before the form of democracy found in Athens became the model on which newly established democracies founded their constitutions. In The Origins and Development of Ancient Greek Democracy, James L. O'Neil examines the origins of democracy in Ancient Greece, not only in Athens, but also in other Greek states including Syracuse, Rhodes, and the Hellenistic Federal states, and traces its development into the most common form of government found in Greece by the mid-fourth century

Book Synopsis Sport and Society in Latin America by : Joseph Arbena
Download or read book Sport and Society in Latin America written by Joseph Arbena and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1988-07-07 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A very exciting collection that explores sport in itself and also as a cultural phenomenon. In unexpected ways, bicycles are linked to modernization in Mexico, baseball takes on socialist overtones in the Yucatan, and the political outlook in Cuba and Nicaragua is explained in terms of their emphasis on sports. This reviewer especially liked Lever's article on Brazil, in which she demonstrates that sport helps complex modern societies cohere. Spanning a time period from the turn of the century to the present, the seven essays offer dramatic insights into Latin American societies; Robert Levine's conclusion presents comparisons with sports in the US. This new entry into the growing field of sport and social analysis is highly recommended for college and university libraries. Choice A collection of eight original essays by distinguished scholars, this book examines the role of sports, particularly soccer and baseball, in Latin America from the late 19th century to the present. The first study of its kind, Sport and Society in Latin America vividly demonstrates the ways in which sport can be used to study various historical and social processes and expands our understanding of sport as a major form of social behavior in Latin America. The contributors analyze the relationship of sport to foreign penetration and cultural imitation, urbanization and the rise of mass society, social divisiveness and social integration, class conflict, politics, and nationalism and revolution.
