Book Synopsis Hellenism and Christianity (Routledge Revivals) by : Edwyn Bevan
Download or read book Hellenism and Christianity (Routledge Revivals) written by Edwyn Bevan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1921, this title examines the relationship between what the author labels the ‘rationalist’ element in Western culture on the one hand, derived from the ancient Greeks, and Christianity, on the other. Bevan contends that these two traditions are distinct, but not mutually exclusive, and that to understand fully their mutuality and reciprocity it is necessary to examine the distinct history of both: their individual provenances, their fusion and interpenetration, and also, their future together. The first chapter attempts to indicate the significance of Hellenic culture in its relation to Eastern civilisation. The extinction of Paganism at the time of Augustine is examined, as is a selection of moral issues associated with the Christian life, as that is interpreted by the author. Finally, the notion of ‘progress’ is investigated with specific reference to the position of Christianity in the modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hellenism The mass of the people, indeed, did not always remain loyal to the principles of their teachers and lawgiver. Many a time they mingled them selves with the heathen, and learned their works 3 and most of the kings of Israel and Judah, indulg ing the more material ambitions for territorial ag grandizement, made alliances with their heathen neighbours, and imitated their ways, and were faithless to the ideal of a chosen people. But the prophets never allowed that ideal to die or to be come obscured. While they denounced the idolatry of the backsliders, and foretold the destruction of the political power of the kingdom as a punishment therefor, tbav declared that, after the people had been chastened in exile, a remnant would return to Palestine to form there the centre of aspiritual supremacy over mankind. And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written unto life in Jerusalem.

Book Synopsis Hellenism and Christianity (Classic Reprint) by : Edwyn Robert Bevan
Download or read book Hellenism and Christianity (Classic Reprint) written by Edwyn Robert Bevan and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hellenism and Christianity The essays composing this book were written at different times for different occasions. Yet I venture to believe that, put together in a single volume, they will present a mental unity - a single body of interests, observations, and ideas, which is one individual's reaction to the spectacle of the universe. In the history of mankind, during these last few thousand years, in which mankind has begun to have what may be called in the more special sense a history, the two predominant factors appear to be, (1) the rise of rationalist culture, first in the ancient Greek world and then again in modern European civilization, and (2) the entrance of the Christian life into the world process. In the first essay I have tried to show the significance of rationalist culture in its relation to Eastern forms of civilization, and correct what I believe to be some common misapprehensions. Perhaps some explanation is required why this essay in describing the civilization of the West says nothing about Christianity. This is not because I think Christianity an unimportant element in the life of mankind; it is because the modern West seems to me still for a large part to require conversion to Christianity.

Book Synopsis The Progress of Hellenism in Alexander's Empire (Classic Reprint) by : John Pentlsnd Mahaffy

This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Progress of Hellenism in Alexander's Empire The following Lectures, delivered in the Univer sity of Chicago, represent the compendium of a long and brilliant development of human culture. To obtain a brief and yet accurate survey of it is certainly a desideratum to various classes of readers, and will, I trust, satisfy a real want. The general reader, who desires to learn something of the ex pansion of Greek ideas toward the East, will here find enough for a working knowledge of a very com plicated epoch. The specialist, who has devoted himself to some department of this field, will find here those general views of the whole which are necessary to every intelligent research into the parts. More especially, the student or teacher of Christi anity will find here the human side of its origin treated in a strictly historical spirit. To all such this little volume may be as welcome as were the lectures which compose it to the large and very sym pathetic class who heard them in the summer of 1904.

Book Synopsis HELLENISM CLASSICAL & MODERN DIASPORA by : Andreas Sofroniou
Download or read book HELLENISM CLASSICAL & MODERN DIASPORA written by Andreas Sofroniou and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-07-28 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hellenic Diaspora (Dispersion) is the collective term for the process which began with the accelerated destruction of the captured Greek territories by the Roman Empire. Some Greeks interpret diaspora as exile, others as a positive aspect of Hellenism's ethnic and spiritual destiny, who remained loyal to their faith, ethnicity and homeland. The beheading of Archimedes was the beginning of the brain drain of Greeks to the Middle East, Asia and Northern Africa. The existence of these diaspora communities was also an important factor in the spread of Christianity. By the early Middle Ages Europe was the centre of Hellenic scholarship, but from the time of the Crusaders, anti-orthodoxy and the persecution of Hellenes begun. Eastern Europe welcomed Greek victims of persecution and by the 17th century Eastern Europe had become the diaspora's centre, until the massacres of the 1821 and 1915 by the Ottomans, thus many Greeks migrated to Germany, Britain and the USA.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hellenistic Age: Aspects of Hellenistic Civilization Treated The habit of treating what is, not very happily, called the Hellenistic age as if it were no more than a wayside inn in which a historical student travelling from Athens and Sparta to Rome is forced reluctantly to halt for a few tedious hours is not yet obsolete. This short survey is designed to illustrate and underline its importance and interest for the subsequent history of civilization.

Book Synopsis Hellenism and Empire by : Simon Swain
Download or read book Hellenism and Empire written by Simon Swain and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hellenism and Empire explores identity, politics, and culture in the Greek world of the first three centuries AD, the period known as the second sophistic. The sources of this identity were the words and deeds of classical Greece, and the emphasis placed on Greekness and Greek heritage was far greater then than at any other time. Yet this period is often seen as a time of happy consensualism between the Greek and Roman halves of the Roman Empire. The first part of the book shows that Greek identity came before any loyalty to Rome (and was indeed partly a reaction to Rome), while the views of the major authors of the period, which are studied in the second part, confirm and restate the prior claims of Hellenism.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hellenism and Macedonia I ought not now to waste time in trying to find how it is that such assertions as above, wholly divorced as they are from even a suggestion of truth, have come to be so readily accepted. Later on I shall have an opportunity of Showing that the Macedonian Question is nothing but a question of Slav ambitions, and that it is the Slavs who have found out the way to change the public Opinion of the entire Western world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Race and Religion: Hellenistic Theology: Its Place in Christian Thought IT is the special good fortune of Hellenism that it appeals at once to the Liberal and to the Conservative; to the latter because it is the most ancient and venerable statement of Christian teaching which we possess; to the former because of its remarkable anticipation of much that seems modern in the religious thought of to-day.

Book Synopsis The Hellenistic Age by : Peter Green
Download or read book The Hellenistic Age written by Peter Green and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2008-05-13 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hellenistic Age chronicles the years 336 to 30 BCE, a period that witnessed the overlap of two of antiquity’s great civilizations, the Greek and the Roman. Peter Green’s remarkably far-ranging study covers the prevalent themes and events of those centuries: the Hellenization, by Alexander’s conquests, of an immense swath of the known world; the lengthy and chaotic partition of this empire by rival Macedonian bands; the decline of the city-state as the predominant political institution; and, finally, Rome’s moment of transition from republican to imperial rule. It is a story of war and power-politics, and of the developing fortunes of art, science, and statecraft, spun by an accomplished classicist with an uncanny knack for infusing life into the distant past, and applying fresh insights that make ancient history seem alarmingly relevant to our own times. “Spectacular . . . [filled with] Mr. Green’s critical acumen.” –The Wall Street Journal “Green draws upon a lifetime of scholarship to brilliantly sum up the three-hundred-year Hellenistic age. . . . Happily, this book’s brevity–admirable in itself, and in its concision, elegance, and authority–isn’t achieved at the expense of subtlety and complexity.” –The Atlantic Monthly “An interesting and well-written overview . . . Students of world history are in Green’s debt.” –The Philadelphia Inquirer “Marvelous . . . splendid . . . a brilliant introduction to this crucial transitional period.” –Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Life and Thought: From the Age of Alexander to the Roman Conquest In'the second place, as this book was not in tended exclusively for scholars, it became necessary to introduce some account of the history and litera ture of the age as the background for the estimate of life and manners, which is my main Object. I might possibly have assumed a knowledge of this history and literature in the scholar, though, even for scholars, the epoch is one of great complication and obscurity, lying outside the bounds of ordinary classical reading; but, from the general reader, this special knowledge could not possibly be expected. Hence there is more actual history in the present volume than in its predecessor, and its limits are marked, not by great authors, but by great political events.

Download or read book Talking Books written by G. O. Hutchinson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-08-14 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing importance is being attached to how Greek and Latin books of poems were arranged, but such research has often been carried out with little attention to the physical fragments of actual ancient poetry-books. In this extensive study Gregory Hutchinson investigates the design of Greek and Latin books of poems in the light of papyri, including recent discoveries. A series of discussions of major poems and collections from two central periods of Greek and Latin literature is framed by a substantial and illustrated survey of poetry-books and reading, and by a more theoretical discussion of structures involving books. The main poets discussed are Callimachus, Apollonius, Posidippus, Catullus, Horace, and Ovid; a chapter on Latin didactic includes Lucretius, Virgil, Ovid, and Manilius.
