Book Synopsis Of Piety and Heresy by : Ali-Asghar Seyed-Gohrab
Download or read book Of Piety and Heresy written by Ali-Asghar Seyed-Gohrab and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-08-19 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines and contextualizes Abū Ḥāmid Muḥammad Ghazzālī’s (d. 505/1111) fierce response to antinomian and freethinking currents in twelfth-century Persia. Seyed-Gohrab offers a translation of Ghazzālī’s treatise on antinomians, and one of his religious rulings (fatwa) on the topic. Both were written after Ghazzālī’s intellectual crisis in 488/1095, when he voluntarily withdrew from his position as a Professor at the prestigious Niẓāmiyya College in Baghdad. He determined to live an ascetic life, devoting all his attention to God. In this period, Ghazzālī wrote his masterpieces in Arabic and Persian. Seyed-Gohrab shows that these two less-known works shed new light on the motivation for Ghazzālī's major works. The book depicts Ghazzālī’s Persian intellectual context, and the tumultuous political period in which a strong literary and Sufi antinomian trend emerged from the social periphery to become central to literary activities at the Saljuq court. The book also treats Ghazzālī’s Persian poetry, offering original insights into Ghazzālī’s contemporary, the celebrated polymath ʿUmar Khayyām (d. about 525/1131), whose transgressive quatrains are interpreted as a response to a suffocating religious context.

Book Synopsis Lollardy and Orthodox Religion in Pre-Reformation England by : Robert Lutton
Download or read book Lollardy and Orthodox Religion in Pre-Reformation England written by Robert Lutton and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2006 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An account of how, in certain parts of sixteenth-century England, challenges to conventional piety anticipated the Reformation. Here is a richly detailed account of the relationship between Lollard heresy and orthodox religion before the English Reformation. Robert Lutton examines the pious practices and dispositions of families and individuals in relationto the orthodox institutions of parish, chapel and guild, and the beliefs and activities of Wycliffite heretics. He takes issue with portrayals of orthodox religion as buoyant and harmonious, and demonstrates that late medieval piety was increasingly diverse and the parish community far from stable or unified. By investigating the generation of family wealth and changing attitudes to its disposal through inheritance and pious giving in the important Lollard centre of Tenterden in Kent, he suggests that rapid economic development and social change created the conditions for a significant cultural shift. This study contends that in certain parts of England by the early sixteenth century piety was subject to dramatic changes which, in a number of important ways, anticipated the Reformation. Dr ROBERT LUTTON teaches in the Department of History at the University of Nottingham.

Book excerpt: This thesis analyses the religious activities of imperial women in the fourth century in the form of two case studies. Chapter One focuses on the empresses Helena, Constantia, Eusebia, and Justina, the latter three of whom are presented as Arian within the ancient sources. My analysis aims to look beyond the concerns of piety, heresy, and emotion that apparently motivated these women in their religious activity, and to highlight the broader political and familial contexts that influenced their actions. I argue that empresses became involved in religious activity in response to a range of imperial interests; in particular, I discuss the extent to which the implementation of religious policy, the volatility of ecclesiastical affairs, and concerns for the stability of the emperor’s reign affected their involvement in religion. Through their actions, imperial women from the fourth century helped establish religion as a key arena for later empresses to exercise power and influence in the new Christian empire. In Chapter Two, I turn my attention to the influence that imperial women had on the religious activities of other women. I focus on the examples of Helena and Constantina in Rome, and demonstrate the similarities and differences between their religious activities and those of Roman aristocratic ascetics Melania the Elder, Marcella, and Paula. My analysis indicates that while the religious conduct of imperial women provided a significant example to aristocratic ascetic women on how to engage in their endeavours, imperial women had limited influence on the specific practices of these ascetics. This, I argue, relates to the differing types of authority that imperial and aristocratic women sought to achieve through their constructions of piety. Overall, my research provides insight on how imperial women influenced and responded to the practice of Christianity during a time of significant religious change.

Book Synopsis John Calvin in Context by : R. Ward Holder
Download or read book John Calvin in Context written by R. Ward Holder and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Calvin in Context offers a comprehensive overview of Calvin's world. Including essays from social, cultural, feminist, and intellectual historians, each specially commissioned for this volume, the book considers the various early modern contexts in which Calvin worked and wrote. It captures his concerns for Northern humanism, his deep involvement in the politics of Geneva, his relationships with contemporaries, and the polemic necessities of responding to developments in Rome and other Protestant sects, notably Lutheran and Anabaptist. The volume also explores Calvin's tasks as a pastor and doctor of the church, who was constantly explicating the text of scripture and applying it to the context of sixteenth-century Geneva, as well as the reception of his role in the Reformation and beyond. Demonstrating the complexity of the world in which Calvin lived, John Calvin in Context serves as an essential research tool for scholars and students of early modern Europe.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Piety by : Megan C. Armstrong
Download or read book The Politics of Piety written by Megan C. Armstrong and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Piety situates the Franciscan order at the heart of the religious and political conflicts of the late sixteenth century to show how a medieval charismatic religious tradition became an engine of political change. The friars used their redoubtable skills as preachers, intellectual training at the University of Paris, and personal and professional connections with other Catholic reformers and patrons to successfully galvanize popular opposition to the spread of Protestantism throughout the sixteenth century. By 1588, the friars used these same strategies on behalf of the Catholic League to prevent the succession of the Protestant heir presumptive, Henry of Navarre, to the French throne. This book contributes to our understanding of religion as a formative political impulse throughout the sixteenth century by linking the long-term political activism of the friars to the emergence of the French monarchy of the seventeenth century. Megan C. Armstrong is assistant professor of early modern Europe in the History Department of the University of Utah.

Book Synopsis A History of Medieval Heresy and Inquisition by : Jennifer Kolpacoff Deane
Download or read book A History of Medieval Heresy and Inquisition written by Jennifer Kolpacoff Deane and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise and balanced survey of heresy and inquisition in the Middle Ages examines the dynamic interplay between competing medieval notions of Christian observance, tracing the escalating confrontations between piety, reform, dissent, and Church authority between 1100 and 1500. Jennifer Kolpacoff Deane explores the diverse regional and cultural settings in which key disputes over scripture, sacraments, and spiritual hierarchies erupted, events increasingly shaped by new ecclesiastical ideas and inquisitorial procedures. Incorporating recent research and debates in the field, her analysis brings to life a compelling issue that profoundly influenced the medieval world.
