Book Synopsis Hiob Ludolf and Johann Michael Wansleben by :
Download or read book Hiob Ludolf and Johann Michael Wansleben written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hiob Ludolf (1624-1704) and Johann Michael Wansleben (1635-1679), the master and his erstwhile student could not be more different. Ludolf was a celebrated member of the Republic of Letters and the towering authority on Ethiopian studies. Wansleben, himself a brilliant scholar and, unlike Ludolf, a seasoned traveller in the Middle East, converted to Catholicism and eventually died impoverished and marginalized. Both stood at the centre of the burgeoning study of Ethiopia and spent a formative part of their career in middle sized Duchy of Saxe-Gotha which for several years played a pivotal role in Ethiopian-European encounters. This volume offers in-depth studies of the remarkable life and work of these two scholars in a broader intellectual, political, and confessional context.

Download or read book Reading Philo written by Torrey Seland and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-30 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A contemporary of both Jesus and the apostle Paul, Philo was a prolific Jewish theologian, philosopher, and politician -- a fascinating, somewhat enigmatic figure -- who lived his entire life in Alexandria, Egypt. His many books are important sources for our understanding of ancient Judaism, early Christianity, and the philosophical currents of that time. Reading Philo is an excellent introductory guide to Philo s work and significance. The contributors -- all well-known experts on Philo of Alexandria -- discuss Philo in context, offer methodological considerations (how best to study Philo), and explore Philo s ongoing relevance and value (why reading him is important). This practical volume will be an indispensable resource for anyone delving into Philo and his world.
Book Synopsis The Gospel of John: More Light from Philo, Paul and Archaeology by : Peder Borgen
Download or read book The Gospel of John: More Light from Philo, Paul and Archaeology written by Peder Borgen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Paul the traditions from and about Jesus had authority similar to that of the Scriptures: a logion or story served as text for paraphrastic expositions. Such expositions are also seen in John's Gospel. - It is insufficient to discuss 'John and the Synoptics'. A better scope is 'John within early gospel traditions'.- Paul and Philo maintain a cosmic understanding of Jesus and the Jewish people, respectively. Correspondingly, Jesus is seen in cosmological perspective in John's Prologue. Philo illuminates the role of God's logos relative to creation and revelation. - Archaeology testifies to the reliability of John's topographical references. Both John and Philo can combine theological and ideological elaborations with specific geographical references, historical events and religious feasts. The study has brought in material and perspectives which strengthen the view that the Gospel of John was independent of the other three written gospels.
Book Synopsis The Orthodox Church of Ethiopia by : John Binns
Download or read book The Orthodox Church of Ethiopia written by John Binns and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surrounded by steep escarpments to the north, south and east, Ethiopia has always been geographically and culturally set apart. It has the longest archaeological record of any country in the world. Indeed, this precipitous mountain land was where the human race began. It is also home to an ancient church with a remarkable legacy. The Ethiopian Church forms the southern branch of historic Christianity. It is the only pre-colonial church in sub-Saharan Africa, originating in one of the earliest Christian kingdoms-with its king Ezana (supposedly descended from the biblical Solomon) converting around 340 CE. Since then it has maintained its long Christian witness in a region dominated by Islam; today it has a membership of around forty million and is rapidly growing. Yet despite its importance, there has been no comprehensive study available in English of its theology and history. This is a large gap which this authoritative and engagingly written book seeks to fill. The Church of Ethiopia (or formally, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church) has a recognized place in worldwide Christianity as one of five non-Chalcedonian Orthodox Churches.As Dr Binns shows, it has developed a distinctive approach which makes it different from all other churches. His book explains why this happened and how these special features have shaped the life of the Christian people of Ethiopia. He discusses the famous rock-hewn churches; the Ark of the Covenant (claimed by the Church and housed in Aksum); the medieval monastic tradition; relations with the Coptic Church; co-existence with Islam; missionary activity; and the Church's venerable oral traditions, especially the discipline of qene-a kind of theological reflection couched in a unique style of improvised allegorical poetry. There is also a sustained exploration of how the Church has been forced to re-think its identity and mission as a result of political changes and upheaval following the overthrow of Haile Selassie (who ruled as Regent, 1916-1930, and then as Emperor, 1930-74) and beyond.
Book Synopsis Religion and the Medieval and Early Modern Global Marketplace by : Scott Oldenburg
Download or read book Religion and the Medieval and Early Modern Global Marketplace written by Scott Oldenburg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion and the Medieval and Early Modern Global Marketplace brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines to examine the intersection, conflict, and confluence of religion and the market before 1700. Each chapter analyzes the unique interplay of faith and economy in a different locale: Syria, Ethiopia, France, Iceland, India, Peru, and beyond. In ten case studies, specialists of archaeology, art history, social and economic history, religious studies, and critical theory address issues of secularization, tolerance, colonialism, and race with a fresh focus. They chart the tensions between religious and economic thought in specific locales or texts, the complex ways that religion and economy interacted with one another, and the way in which matters of faith, economy, and race converge in religious images of the pre- and early modern periods. Considering the intersection of faith and economy, the volume questions the legacy of early modern economic and spiritual exceptionalism, and the ways in which prosperity still entangles itself with righteousness. The interdisciplinary nature means that this volume is the perfect resource for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and scholars working across multiple areas including history, literature, politics, art history, global studies, philosophy, and gender studies in the medieval and early modern periods.

Book Synopsis Light in a Spotless Mirror by : James H. Charlesworth
Download or read book Light in a Spotless Mirror written by James H. Charlesworth and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C.E., Jewish scholars, especially those in Jerusalem and Alexandria, turned increasingly to the eternal questions that define those who reflect on human life. These sages sought to comprehend the origin and essence of things and pondered how it was possible to learn and obtain insight. Wisdom, they came to see, was the "fashioner of all things" who disclosed "what is secret and what is manifest." Many of these Jewish intellectuals saw Wisdom as the closest being to God. In this book, five of the world's foremost scholars in the field reflect on the Wisdom traditions in Second Temple Judaism and earliest Christianity. Roland Murphy (late of Duke University) explores the biblical and Jewish wisdom literature, and focuses on ways that Jews sought to understand sin and suffering. Peter Schäfer (Princeton University) argues that the association of Wisdom, Torah, and Israel found in biblical literature was taken up much later in the writings of the Rabbinic sages. Peder Borgen (formerly University of Trondheim, Norway) examines the similarities in the writings of the Hellenistic Jewish Wisdom teacher Philo of Alexandria and the writer of the Gospel of John. D. Moody Smith (Duke University) focuses on the Passion narrative in the Gospel of John as he demonstrates how much John relies on Jewish Wisdom tradition in his gospel. James Charlesworth (PrincetonTheological Seminary) examines the Wisdom aspects of some Jewish apocalypses in order to demonstrate that the Gospel of John draws upon both the Jewish Wisdom literature and Jewish apocalypses. James H. Charlesworth is George L. Collord Professor of New Testament Language and Literature at Princeton Theological Seminary, director of the seminary's Dead Sea Scrolls Project, and co-editor of the Trinity Press Faith and Scholarship Colloquies (FSC) series. Michael A. Daise is Assistant Professor of Religion at The College of William and Mary and has published articles on the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Book Synopsis The Almighty's Religion for the Universe by : Sidney R Smith MHS
Download or read book The Almighty's Religion for the Universe written by Sidney R Smith MHS and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What the author is attempting to do is provide new information about the Creator, life, the universe, and the purpose of humanity as it relates to what the Almighty has revealed to mankind. It is the intent of the author to offer new alternatives and explanations of life to give new insight as to man's role for being in existence on the planet Earth and in the universe. It offers the opportunity to explore and come to terms with this information so mankind can be enlightened to a new faith. The material in this book allows man to understand that there is no reward or punishment for coming to terms with what the Creator has revealed to mankind. To take away the fear of a hell and give a sense of immortality in lieu of a heavenly paradise. Nevertheless, this book will show mankind something different about man's creation and the purpose of his creation. It's a matter of life before birth (reincarnation). Have you ever thought of the possibility that there is life before life? Many people throughout the ages have questioned the possibility of life after death, but never of life before birth. I know of only one person who had some connection with the possibility of life before birth. Me. Edward Cayce, who died in 1945, recorded some accounts of his efforts to recall the lives of people in their spiritual past. He provided case studies dealing with his ability to read past histories of people's past lives but was not able to prove or disprove his abilities. But suppose we were to think in terms of having an existence before we were born. We have explored the prominent thought of life after death to a point of scientific examination and experimentation.
Book Synopsis Paul’s Negotiation of Abraham in Galatians 3 in the Jewish Context by : Per Jarle Bekken
Download or read book Paul’s Negotiation of Abraham in Galatians 3 in the Jewish Context written by Per Jarle Bekken and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-07-05 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work offers a fresh reading of Paul’s appropriation of Abraham in Gal 3:6–29 against the background of Jewish data, especially drawn from the writings of Philo of Alexandria. Philo’s negotiation on Abraham as the model proselyte and the founder of the Jewish nation based on his trust in God's promise relative to the Law of Moses provides a Jewish context for a corresponding debate reflected in Galatians, and suggests that there were Jewish antecedents that came close to Paul’s reasoning in his own time. This volume incorporates a number of new arguments in the context of scholarly discussion of both Galatian 3 and some of the Philonic texts, and demonstrates how the works of Philo can be applied responsibly in New Testament scholarship.
Book Synopsis God's New Envoys by : Tetsunao Yamamori
Download or read book God's New Envoys written by Tetsunao Yamamori and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 1987 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following a brief discussion of the mission mandate, Yamamori presents several pages of data to support the "83%"projection of his opening statement: "when the twenty-first century begins, an estimated 83% of the world's non-Christian population will reside in countries closed to traditional missionary approaches.". In light of the serious limitations on traditional missionary access, he proposes a new breed of missionaries, whom he calls "God's New Envoys" (GNE's). Their unique mandate is ". . . to reach the growing number of non-Christians who are out of reach of traditional missionary efforts" (p. 56). Much more than "tentmakers," GNE's are distinguished from traditional missionaries not only by financial support, but also by training and strategy.
Download or read book Angels, Devils written by Gerhard Jaritz and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supernatural phenomena and causalities played an important role in medieval society. Religious practice was relying upon a set of cult images and the sacral status of these depictions of divine or supernatural persons became the object of heated debates and provoked iconoclastic reactions.The miraculous intervention of saints or other divine agents, the wondrous realities beyond understanding, or the manifestations of magic attributed to diabolic forces, were contained by a variety of discourses, described and discussed in religion, philosophy, chronicles, literature and fiction, and also in a large number of pictures and material objects. The nine essays in this collection discusses how supernatural phenomena – especially angels and devils – found visual manifestation in Latin and Eastern Christianity as well as Judaism in the late medieval, early renaissance period.
