Download or read book Die Wahrnehmung anderer Religionen und christlich-abendländisches Selbstverständnis im frühen und hohen Mittelalter (5.-12. Jahrhundert) written by Hans-Werner Goetz and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-12-20 with total page 964 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: die Wahrnehmung der anderen Religionen seitens der abendländischen Christen im Mittelalter ist ein wichtiges kulturwissenschaftliches Thema, das in einem ‚Zeitalter des Glaubens‘ nicht nur einen wesentlichen Bereich der Vorstellungswelt erschließt, sondern in der Fremdwahrnehmung auch das christliche Selbstverständnis in seiner spezifisch mittelalterlichen Ausprägung erkennen lässt. Die aus einem Advanced Grant-Projekt des European Research Council hervorgegangene, geschichtswissenschaftliche Studie untersucht auf der Grundlage eines sehr unterschiedlichen Forschungsstandes in einem breiten zeitlichen, räumlichen und gattungsmäßigen Spektrum und nach bestimmten Leitfragen Terminologie, Wissen, Funktion, Bewertung, Verständnis, Einordnung und Vergleich aller damals bekannten Religionen: der Heiden, Muslime, Juden, Häretiker und Griechisch-Orthodoxen. Einschlägige Schriften werden dabei ebenso berücksichtigt wie das über zahlreiche Äußerungen verteilte, verbreitete, gerade auch stereotype Bild der Anderen. Die Frage, was man in diesem Sinne unter Heiden oder Häretikern an sich verstanden hat und wie sich die Religionen jeweils vom Christentum abgrenzen, spielt hier eine ebenso große Rolle wie die Einschätzung, ob Muslime und Juden im Mittelalter als dem Christentum näher stehende Monotheisten anerkannt oder ob Häretiker und Orthodoxe überhaupt als Christen wahrgenommen worden sind. Solche Fragen werden hier in diesem Umfang erstmals systematisch für das Bild aller anderen Religionen und vor allem zum ersten Mal vergleichend untersucht. Das Buch bietet daher fundierte Einblicke in die mittelalterlichen Vorstellungswelten und deren Bedeutung für den Umgang der Religionen miteinander. Die mittelalterliche Wahrnehmung anderer Religionen berührt zudem ein auch für die heutige Gesellschaft und Wissenschaft wichtiges Thema in geschichtswissenschaftlicher Perspektive.

This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In einer weithin von Glaubensfragen bestimmten Epoche wie der des Mittelalters vermittelt die Wahrnehmung anderer Religionen einen guten Einblick in das christliche Selbstverständnis. Ein dreijähriges ERC-Advanced Grant-Projekt, dessen Ergebnisse in der vorliegenden Publikation exemplarisch vorgeführt werden, hat daher auf breiter Materialbasis die christlich-abendländische Wahrnehmung anderer Religionen analysiert. Dabei sollten nicht nur unmittelbare religiöse Auseinandersetzungen, sondern die verbreitete, auch stereotype Sicht erforscht werden. Für einige Religionen (Häresie, Griechisch-Orthodoxes Christentum, Heidentum) ist dies erstmals systematisch erfolgt, für andere mit besserem Forschungsstand (Judentum, Islam) konnte das Wissen auf breitere Grundlagen gestellt und erweitert werden. Erstmals wird die christliche Wahrnehmung anderer Religionen hier vergleichend nach bestimmten Leitfragen betrachtet. Untersucht werden unter anderem das Wissen über Andersgläubige wie auch dessen Anwendung und die Kontexte der Informationen sowie die Wertung, Einordnung und Abgrenzung der anderen Glaubensgemeinschaften. Insgesamt lassen sich, bei aller Stereotypie, konsistente Vorstellungen erkennen, die Eigenheiten jeder Religion zwar anerkennen, gleichzeitig aber abwerten gegenüber der gemeinsamen Abgrenzung vom Christentum und damit wesentliche Aspekte des christlichen Selbstverständnisses freilegen.

Download or read book Magic and Magicians in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Time written by Albrecht Classen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 767 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are no clear demarcation lines between magic, astrology, necromancy, medicine, and even sciences in the pre-modern world. Under the umbrella term 'magic,' the contributors to this volume examine a wide range of texts, both literary and religious, both medical and philosophical, in which the topic is discussed from many different perspectives. The fundamental concerns address issue such as how people perceived magic, whether they accepted it and utilized it for their own purposes, and what impact magic might have had on the mental structures of that time. While some papers examine the specific appearance of magicians in literary texts, others analyze the practical application of magic in medical contexts. In addition, this volume includes studies that deal with the rise of the witch craze in the late fifteenth century and then also investigate whether the Weberian notion of disenchantment pertaining to the modern world can be maintained. Magic is, oddly but significantly, still around us and exerts its influence. Focusing on magic in the medieval world thus helps us to shed light on human culture at large.

Download or read book Children of Lucifer written by Ruben van Luijk and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we are to believe sensationalist media coverage, Satanism is, at its most benign, the purview of people who dress in black, adorn themselves with skull and pentagram paraphernalia, and listen to heavy metal. At its most sinister, its adherents are worshippers of evil incarnate and engage in violent and perverse secret rituals, the details of which mainstream society imagines with a fascination verging on the obscene. Children of Lucifer debunks these facile characterizations by exploring the historical origins of modern Satanism. Ruben van Luijk traces the movement's development from a concept invented by a Christian church eager to demonize its internal and external competitors to a positive (anti-)religious identity embraced by various groups in the modern West. Van Luijk offers a comprehensive intellectual history of this long and unpredictable trajectory. This story involves Romantic poets, radical anarchists, eccentric esotericists, Decadent writers, and schismatic exorcists, among others, and culminates in the establishment of the Church of Satan by carnival entertainer Anton Szandor LaVey. Yet it is more than a collection of colorful characters and unlikely historical episodes. The emergence of new attitudes toward Satan proves to be intimately linked to the ideological struggle for emancipation that transformed the West and is epitomized by the American and French Revolutions. It is also closely connected to secularization, that other exceptional historical process which saw Western culture spontaneously renounce its traditional gods and enter into a self-imposed state of religious indecision. Children of Lucifer makes the case that the emergence of Satanism presents a shadow history of the evolution of modern civilization as we know it. Offering the most comprehensive account of this history yet written, van Luijk proves that, in the case of Satanism, the facts are much more interesting than the fiction.

Download or read book Biblical Heroes and Classical Culture in Christian Late Antiquity written by Carson Bay and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-24 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, Carson Bay focuses on an important but neglected work of Late Antiquity: Pseudo-Hegesippus' On the Destruction of Jerusalem (De Excidio Hierosolymitano), a Latin history of later Second Temple Judaism written during the fourth century CE. Bay explores the presence of so many Old Testament figures in a work that recounts the Roman-Jewish War (66–73 CE) and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. By applying the lens of Roman exemplarity to Pseudo-Hegesippus, he elucidates new facets of Biblical reception, history-writing, and anti-Judaism in a text from the formative first century of Christian Empire. The author also offers new insights into the Christian historiographical imagination and how Biblical heroes and Classical culture helped Christians to write anti-Jewish history. Revealing novel aspects of the influence of the Classical literary tradition on early Christian texts, this book also newly questions the age-old distinction between the Christian and the Classical (or 'pagan') in the ancient Mediterranean world.

Download or read book A Cultural History of Democracy in the Medieval Age written by David Napolitano and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a broad exploration of the cultural history of democracy in the medieval age, this volume claims that, though not generally associated with the term, the Middle Ages deserve to be included in a general history of democracy. The term was never widely employed during this period, the dominant attitude towards democracy was outright hostility, and none of the medieval polities thought of itself as a democracy. Despite this, this study highlights a wide variety of ideas, practices, procedures, and institutions that, although different from their ancient predecessor (direct democracy) or modern successor (liberal representative democracy), played a significant role in the history of democracy. This volume covers almost 1,000 years and a wide range of territories. It deals with different political spheres (ecclesiastical and secular) and socio-political settings (courtly, urban, and rural) and examines the phenomenon from the local level up to the universal realm. This volume adopts a broad cultural approach and is structured thematically. Each chapter takes a theme as its focus: sovereignty; liberty and the rule of law; the common good; economic and social democracy; religion and the principles of political obligation; citizenship and gender; ethnicity, race, and nationalism; democratic crises, revolutions, and civil resistance; international relations; and the scalability of democracy beyond the limits of a single city. These ten themes add up to an extensive, synoptic coverage of the subject.

Download or read book Cultures of Eschatology written by Veronika Wieser and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-07-20 with total page 1181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In all religions, in the medieval West as in the East, ideas about the past, the present and the future were shaped by expectations related to the End. The volumes Cultures of Eschatology explore the many ways apocalyptic thought and visions of the end intersected with the development of pre-modern religio-political communities, with social changes and with the emergence of new intellectual and literary traditions. The two volumes present a wide variety of case studies from the early Christian communities of Antiquity, through the times of the Islamic invasion and the Crusades and up to modern receptions, from the Latin West to the Byzantine Empire, from South Yemen to the Hidden Lands of Tibetan Buddhism. Examining apocalypticism, messianism and eschatology in medieval Christian, Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist communities, the contributions paint a multi-faceted picture of End-Time scenarios and provide their readers with a broad array of source material from different historical contexts. The first volume, Empires and Scriptural Authorities, examines the formation of literary and visual apocalyptic traditions, and the role they played as vehicles for defining a community’s religious and political enemies. The second volume, Time, Death and Afterlife, focuses on key topics of eschatology: death, judgment, afterlife and the perception of time and its end. It also analyses modern readings and interpretations of eschatological concepts.
