Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kaiser Konstantins Hinwendung zum Christentum hatte weitreichende Folgen sowohl für das Römische Imperium als auch das aufstrebende Christentum. Neben die traditionelle Autorität der Kaiser traten zunehmend die Führer der jungen Kirche, die Bischöfe. Beide Institutionen verantworten ab der Mitte des 4. Jahrhunderts weitgehend die Reichspolitik, die Staat und Kirche in eine Beziehung zwischen Kooperation und Machtkampf bringt und ihr Verhältnis zueinander in den folgenden Jahrhunderten prägen wird. Das Buch liefert einen neuen Blick auf das Ende des Imperiums und den Aufstieg des Christentums. Die Kaiser waren nicht mehr Gott ebenbürtig, sondern 'Diener', und das nur dann, wenn sie der Kirche dienten. Am Ende war die Kirche Erbe des Römischen Imperiums und der Bischof von Rom (später Papst genannt) in der Nachfolge der Cäsaren Mittelpunkt nicht nur der christlichen Welt. Der Autor, bekannter und anerkannter Experte, zeichnet ein faszinierendes Bild der Epoche und spannt den Bogen durch 'eines der längsten Jahrhundert' der europäischen Geschichte.

Download or read book A History of Early Christian Creeds written by Wolfram Kinzig and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 881 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of early Christian creeds contains an up-to-date account of their origin and development from the credal texts in the New Testament to the fully fledged classical formulae of the 4th century. It includes the creeds’ use and alteration in subsequent periods until the time of Charlemagne and the beginnings of the filioque controversy. In addition, the author provides a scholarly commentary on the most common ancient confessions: the Nicene Creed and the Apostles’ Creed. Going beyond previous studies, the book contains chapters dedicated to the use of creeds in law, art, music, everyday life and even magic. Recently discovered source texts, such as a new Ethiopic version of the Roman Creed and a short recension of the Creed of Nicaea-Constantinople, receive extensive treatment. Credal developments in the eastern churches beyond the borders of the Roman Empire complete this comprehensive overview. This volume is intended both as a textbook for advanced students of theology and cognate disciplines and as a reference book on the creeds in a wide range of contexts. All source texts are accompanied by modern English translations.

Download or read book Episcopal Elections in Late Antiquity written by Johan Leemans and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-07-28 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume contributes to a reassessment of the phenomenon of episcopal elections from the broadest possible perspective, examining the varied combination of factors, personalities, rules and habits that played a role in the process that eventually resulted in one specific candidate becoming the new bishop, and not another. The importance of episcopal elections hardly needs stating: With the bishop emerging as one of the key figures of late antique society, his election was a defining moment for the local community, and an occasion when local, ecclesiastical, and secular tensions were played out. Building on the state of the art regarding late antique bishops and episcopal election, this volume of collected studies by leading scholars offers fresh perspectives by focussing on specific case-studies and opening up new approaches. Covering much of the Later Roman Empire between 250–600 AD, the contributions will be of interest to scholars interested in Late Antique Christianity across disciplines as diverse as patristics, ancient history, canon law and oriental studies.

This book was released on 2016-07-25 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that only a small fraction, less than 1 per cent, of ancient literature has survived to the present day. The role of Christian authorities in the active suppression and destruction of books in Late Antiquity has received surprisingly little sustained consideration by academics. In an approach that presents evidence for the role played by Christian institutions, writers and saints, this book analyses a broad range of literary and legal sources, some of which have hitherto been little studied. Paying special attention to the problem of which genres and book types were likely to be targeted, the author argues that in addition to heretical, magical, astrological and anti-Christian books, other less obviously subversive categories of literature were also vulnerable to destruction, censorship or suppression through prohibition of the copying of manuscripts. These include texts from materialistic philosophical traditions, texts which were to become the basis for modern philosophy and science. This book examines how Christian authorities, theologians and ideologues suppressed ancient texts and associated ideas at a time of fundamental transformation in the late classical world.

This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary: Christianity gained a foothold in Antioch during the first century and the metropolis became an important centre for the spread of Christianity, although Hellenistic elements did still shape it in the fourth century. A diverse entertainment culture set the tone in public life and ensured the cohesion of the city's heterogeneous population, as Christian preacher John Chrysostom was to find out. An astute observer of his surroundings, he chose metaphors picking up on aspects of city life to intelligibly and engagingly relay his sermons' messages. Frauke Krautheim analyses the strategies he employed to enable Christianity to compete with existing topographical, cultural and religious realities, and thus underpin identity with the Christian faith. She pays particular attention to Chrysostom's use of Agon metaphors, a typical Hellenistic rhetorical device, in a selection of his sermons on the martyrs. German description: Seit dem 1. Jahrhundert fasste das Christentum in Antiochia Fuss. Die Stadt wurde ein wichtiges Zentrum fur die Ausbreitung des Christentums, aber noch im 4. Jahrhundert pragten hellenistische Elemente die Metropole. Eine vielfaltige Unterhaltungskultur bestimmte das offentliche Leben und gewahrte den Zusammenhalt der heterogenen Bevolkerung. Mit dieser Situation war der christliche Prediger Johannes Chrysostomos konfrontiert. Als aufmerksamer Beobachter seiner Umwelt gebrauchte er in seinen Predigten Metaphern, die Aspekte des urbanen Lebensrhythmus' aufnehmen, um seine Botschaft verstandlich und attraktiv zu vermitteln. Frauke Krautheim analysiert die Strategie des Predigers, das Christentum zu den bestehenden topographischen, kulturellen wie religiosen Gegebenheiten in Konkurrenz zu setzen, um so die Identitat mit dem christlichen Glauben zu starken. Besondere Berucksichtigung findet hierbei die Agonmetaphorik in ausgewahlten Martyrerpredigten des Stadtpredigers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, Note: 1,7, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (Lehrstuhl für Bayerische und Fränkische Landesgeschichte), Veranstaltung: Der Kelch des Herzogs Tassilo, Kulturgeschichte im frühmittelalterlichen Bayern und Franken, 16 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die hier vorliegende Arbeit hat das Christentum in der ausgehenden Spätantike am Übergang zum Frühmittelalter im Alpenraum zum Thema. Der Alpenraum umfasst ein sehr großes Gebiet, in welchem sich das Christentum ganz unterschiedlich und komplex entwickelt hat. Im Rahmen dieser Proseminararbeit soll der Verlauf für die Provinzen Noricum und Raetia geschildert werden. Es werden die wichtigsten Ereignisse und Veränderungen beschrieben, die für diesen Raum von besonderer Bedeutung waren. Beginnen soll die Arbeit mit einer räumlichen Einteilung, um dem Leser einen Überblick über das behandelte Gebiet zu geben. Daraufhin soll das Christentum und seine Entwicklung ab der Diokletianischen Verfolgung bis hin zum Ausgang der Spätantike gezeigt werden. Die Arbeit wird dann mit dem Tode Severins zum Ende kommen. Es soll gezeigt werden wie das Christentum sich kontinuierlich in diesem Raum entwickelt hat und trotz der stürmischen Zeiten, die geprägt waren von Herrschaftswechseln und "Kriegen", sich zu einer mächtigen Institution, und im Mittelalter vielleicht sogar zur mächtigsten, herausgebildet hat. Für die Anfänge des Christentums in dem behandelten Raum ist die Quellenlage bruchstückhaft. Teilweise liegt vieles sogar gänzlich im Dunkeln und viele Fragen lassen sich aus diesem Grund nicht beantworten. Oft geben lediglich Bodenfunde und die Patrozinienforschung Auskunft darüber, wie es gewesen sein könnte; doch für die Anfänge oft nicht mal das. Später gibt es dann die ersten Quellen. Für diese Arbeit war die Vita des Heiligen Severin von besonderer Bedeutung. Auf diese wird in einem eig

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patriarch Dioscorus of Alexandria: The Last Pharaoh of Alexandria and Ecclesiastical Politics in the Later Roman Empire offers a thorough revision of the historical role of Dioscorus as patriarch of Alexandria between 444 and 451 CE. One of the major protagonists of the Christological controversy, Dioscorus was hailed a saint in Eastern Church traditions which opposed the Council of Chalcedon in 451. Yet Western Church traditions remember him as a heretic and violent villain, and much scholarship maintains this image of Dioscorus as 'ruthless and ambitious', a 'tyrant-bishop' feared by his opponents-the 'Attila of the Eastern Church'. This book breaks with these negative stereotypes and offers the first serious historical analysis of Dioscorus as ecclesiastical politician and reformer. It discusses the discrepancy that theologically Dioscorus was a loyal follower of his famous predecessor Cyril of Alexandria (412-444) while politically he was the leading figure of the anti-Cyrillian party in Alexandria. Analysing Dioscorus' role as president of the Second Council of Ephesus in 449 and his downfall and deposition at the Council of Chalcedon in 451, Menze also offers a much-needed new reading of the acts of these two general councils. Reappraising the life and role of Dioscorus ultimately shows how the Christological controversy of the fifth century can only be fully understood against the background of imperial politics-and its mechanisms for implementing 'Orthodoxy'-in the Later Roman Empire.

Download or read book Between Community and Seclusion written by Mirko Breitenstein and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2021-04 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fact that certain cultures and religions produced a way of life which, for the sake of self-perfection, expected its adherents to withdraw from various obligations to the world and to enter into the organisational structure of a monastic community obviously represents a constant anthropological foundation. The spectrum of monastic life within these various cultures was extremely diverse in its manifestations. It was the result of a high degree of flexibility in the face of constantly changing ideas about piety, social needs and concepts of community and individuality. However, an interreligious study with the aim of a scholarly analysis of comparable key elements across different monastic cultures does not exist yet. The editors as well as the authors of this volume are particularly interested in how monastic life was realised communally in many ways according to fixed norms and rules, how it shaped the understanding of community and civilisation and therefore made a decisive contribution to the formation of our cultural identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume to attempt a comprehensive overview of the evolution of the 'Arian' churches in the Roman world of Late Antiquity and their political importance in the late Roman kingdoms of the 5th-6th centuries, ruled by barbarian warrior elites. Bringing together researchers from the disciplines of theology, history and archaeology, and providing an extensive bibliography, it constitutes a breakthrough in a field largely neglected in historical studies. A polemical term coined by the Orthodox Church (the side that prevailed in the Trinitarian disputes of the 4th century C.E.) for its opponents in theology as well as in ecclesiastical politics, Arianism has often been seen as too complicated to understand outside the group of theological specialists dealing with it and has therefore sometimes been ignored in historical studies. The studies here offer an introduction to the subject, grounded in the historical context, then examine the adoption of Arian Christianity among the Gothic contingents of the Roman army, and its subsequent diffusion in the barbarian kingdoms of the late Roman world.

Collected Studies in Honour of Sebastian Günther contains essays on the developments, ideals, and practices of teaching and learning in the Islamicate world, past and present. The authors address topics that reflect – and thus honour – Sebastian Günther’s academic achievements in this particular area. The volume offers fresh insights into key issues related to education and human development, including their shared characteristics as well as their influence on and interdependence with cultures of the Islamicate world, especially in the classical period of Islam (9th-15th century CE). The diverse spectrum of topics covered in the book, as well as the wide range of innovative interdisciplinary approaches and research tools employed, pay tribute to Sebastian Günther’s research focus on Islamic education and ethics, through which he has inspired many of his students, colleagues, and friends.

Book excerpt: Peter Gemeinhardt nimmt in den vorliegenden Studien das spätantike Christentum als Institution und als Gemeinschaft der Heiligen in den Blick. Schwerpunkte liegen auf der Gestalt und dem Selbstverständnis der Kirche im 4. und 5. Jahrhundert und auf der Aktualität der Märtyrer auch nach dem Ende der Verfolgung, weiterhin auf der Bildung von Heiligen und schließlich auf der Vita Antonii und ihrem Verfasser Athanasius. Obwohl eine ausdrückliche theologische Reflexion der Kirche selten ist, wird intensiv diskutiert, was Kirche in der Spätantike sein soll: Volkskirche oder elitäre Gemeinschaft? Gemeinhardt verdeutlicht, dass zwar die Ränder der Kirche unscharf waren, dies aber dadurch ermöglicht wurde, dass die Kirche ein klares Zentrum hatte: das Leitbild der Märtyrer und der Heiligen. Diese fruchtbare Spannung von Offenheit und Bestimmtheit war für das Überleben und den Erfolg des Christentums in der Spätantike mit entscheidend.

Book excerpt: Das Wort ›christianitas‹ fand als Chiffre für die mittelalterliche Idee der Christenheit Einzug in die Geschichtserzählungen zu Christentum, Papst- und Kaisertum, Kreuzzügen und Europa. Tatsächlich wurde ›christianitas‹ in der Spätantike und in der Karolingerzeit in verschiedenen anderen Sinnzusammenhängen verwendet. Tim Geelhaar entkoppelt Begriff und Idee und lotet Gebrauchssituationen, Umsemantisierungen und Politisierungen des Wortes aus. Die historische Semantik von ›christianitas‹, so zeigt diese Studie anschaulich, macht die Pluralität eines christlichen, lateinischen Europas selbst sichtbar.
