Book Synopsis The Politics of Peace by : Te-Li Lau
Download or read book The Politics of Peace written by Te-Li Lau and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-12-07 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although scholarship has noted the thematic importance of peace in Ephesians, few have examined its political character in a sustained manner throughout the entire letter. This book addresses this lacuna, comparing Ephesians with Colossians, Greek political texts, Dio Chrysostom’s Orations, and the Confucian Four Books in order to ascertain the rhetorical and political nature of its topos of peace. Through comparison with analogous documents both within and without its cultural milieu, this study shows that Ephesians can be read as a politico-religious letter “concerning peace” within the church. Its vision of peace contains common political elements (such as moral education, household management, communal stability, a universal humanity, and war) that are subsumed under the controlling rubric of the unity and cosmic summing up of all things in Christ.

Book Synopsis Dio Chrysostom by : Dio (Chrysostom.)
Download or read book Dio Chrysostom written by Dio (Chrysostom.) and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIO COCCEIANUS CHRYSOSTOMUS, c.A.D. 40-c.A.D.120, of Prusa (Brusa) in Bithynia, Asia Minor, inherited with his brothers large properties and debts from his generous father Pasicrates. He became a skilled rhetorican hostile to philosophers, but in the course of travels came to Rome in Vespasian's reign (A.D. 69-79) and was converted to Stoicism. Strongly critical of the emperor Domitian (81-96) he was c.A.D. 82 banned on suspicion by him from Italy and Bithynia and wandered in poverty, especially in lands north of the Aegean, as far as the Danube and the primitive Getae. In 97 he spoke publicly to Greeks assembled at Olympia, was welcomed at Rome by emperor Nerva (96-98), and returned to Prusa. Arriving again at Rome on an embassy of thanks c. 98-99 he became a firm friend of emperor Trajan. In 102 he travelled to Alexandria and elsewhere, returning to Prusa in 102-3. Involved in a lawsuit about plans to beautify Prusa at his own expense, he stated his case before the governor of Bithyna Pliny the Younger, 111-112. The rest of his life is unknown. He had lost his wife and a son. The literary works of Dio, in simple yet noble style derived largely from Plato, Demosthenes and Xenophon, reflect three main factors in his busy life -- sophistical, political, moral; but nearly all of the extant Discourses (or Orations) belong to the political (the most important of them dealing with affairs in Bithynia and affording valuable details about conditions in Asia Minor) or the moral (mostly written in later life -- they contain much of his best writing). Some philosophical and historical works, including one on the Getae, are lost. What survives of his achievement as a whole makes him prominent in the revival of Greek literature in the last part of the first century and the first part of the second.
Book Synopsis Deconstructing the New Testament by : Seeley
Download or read book Deconstructing the New Testament written by Seeley and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-08-30 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To deconstruct a text means to disassemble the various points of view contained within it, and to let them stand fully exposed with all their own presuppositions. When this is done, the contours of these building blocks appear so different from one another that the structural unity of the text is called into question. Biblical scholars will sense how close this process is to familiar methods of form and source criticism. Without jargon, this study sharpens and clarifies the analytical thrust behind such methods. At the same time, it offers a fresh rendering of redaction criticism, inquiring after the often contradictory motives and historical circumstances influencing the evangelists. This book thus provides an intriguing combination of the old and the new.

This book was released on 2000-11-07 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the New Testament teach about the spiritual gift of prophecy? What is it? How does it function? Can evangelical Christians use it in their churches today? This updated, comprehensive work answers such questions and points the way to a renewed understanding of the gift of prophecy—an understanding that suggests how the body of Christ may enjoy one of the Holy Spirit's most edifying gifts without compromising the supremacy of Scripture.
Book Synopsis Hierocles the Stoic by : Ilaria Ramelli
Download or read book Hierocles the Stoic written by Ilaria Ramelli and published by Society of Biblical Lit. This book was released on 2009 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hierocles, the Stoic philosopher of the early imperial age, is a crucial witness to Middle and Neo-Stoicism, especially with regard to their ethical philosophy. In this volume, all of Hierocles surviving works are translated into English for the first time, with the original Greek and a facing English translation: the Elements of Ethics, preserved on papyrus, along with all fragments and excerpts from the treatise On Duties, collected by Stobaeus in the fifth century C.E. and dealing mainly with social relationships, marriage, household, and family. In addition, Ramelli s introductory essay demonstrates how Hierocles was indebted to the Old Stoa and how he modified its doctrines in accord with Middle Stoicism and further developments in philosophy as well as his personal views. Finally, Ramelli s extensive commentary on Hierocles works clarifies philosophical questions raised by the text and provides rich and updated references to existing scholarship.
Book Synopsis The Shepherd-flock Motif in the Miletus Discourse (Acts 20:17-38) Against Its Historical Background by : Bernard Aubert
Download or read book The Shepherd-flock Motif in the Miletus Discourse (Acts 20:17-38) Against Its Historical Background written by Bernard Aubert and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shepherd-Flock Motif in the Miletus Discourse (Acts 20:17-38) Against Its Historical Background provides a comprehensive survey of the use of the shepherd-flock motif in the ancient world for the readers of the New Testament. This review of Ancient Near Eastern, Jewish, Greco-Roman, and Christian sources is guided by a motific approach that integrates the concept of metaphor, Semantics, and the comparative method. A chief concern of this study is to apply this knowledge to the study of Luke-Acts, especially the Miletus Discourse (Acts 20:17-38). The shepherd-flock motif appears to be central in this speech and helps to integrate other motifs and themes in this discourse, such as the kingship motif. The Shepherd-Flock Motif in the Miletus Discourse (Acts 20:17-38) Against Its Historical Background is indispensable to the study of motifs in the New Testament and contributes meaningfully to the scholarly research on Luke-Acts.
