Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Social Relations in the Roman World written by Michael Peachin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 755 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of Roman society and social relations blossomed in the 1970s. By now, we possess a very large literature on the individuals and groups that constituted the Roman community, and the various ways in which members of that community interacted. There simply is, however, no overview that takes into account the multifarious progress that has been made in the past thirty-odd years. The purpose of this handbook is twofold. On the one hand, it synthesizes what has heretofore been accomplished in this field. On the other hand, it attempts to configure the examination of Roman social relations in some new ways, and thereby indicates directions in which the discipline might now proceed. The book opens with a substantial general introduction that portrays the current state of the field, indicates some avenues for further study, and provides the background necessary for the following chapters. It lays out what is now known about the historical development of Roman society and the essential structures of that community. In a second introductory article, Clifford Ando explains the chronological parameters of the handbook. The main body of the book is divided into the following six sections: 1) Mechanisms of Socialization (primary education, rhetorical education, family, law), 2) Mechanisms of Communication and Interaction, 3) Communal Contexts for Social Interaction, 4) Modes of Interpersonal Relations (friendship, patronage, hospitality, dining, funerals, benefactions, honor), 5) Societies Within the Roman Community (collegia, cults, Judaism, Christianity, the army), and 6) Marginalized Persons (slaves, women, children, prostitutes, actors and gladiators, bandits). The result is a unique, up-to-date, and comprehensive survey of ancient Roman society.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The papers in this book provide a good introduction to the purpose and scope of the PKNT project. The PKNT commentaries function as original and innovative supplements to traditional biblical commentaries." -- Scott Charlesworth, Pacific Adventist University, Review of Biblical Literature Seit 15 Jahren werden die "Papyrologischen Kommentare zum Neuen Testament" (PKNT) vom Osterreichischen Wissenschaftsfonds FWF durch Forschungsprojekte an der Universitat Salzburg gefordert. Aus diesem Anlass fand im Dezember 2009 ein internationales Symposion statt, an dem Papyrologen, Bibelwissenschafter, Klassische Philologen, Anthropologen und Rechtshistoriker aus den USA, aus Kanada, Italien, Deutschland und Osterreich teilnahmen. Im Zentrum der "Papyrologischen Kommentare" stehen Papyri, beschriebene Tonscherben, Holz- und Wachstafelchen aus dem griechisch-romischen Alltag, die die Sprache, die Textsorten, die Themen, die zeitgeschichtliche und soziale Situation biblischer Texte beleuchten. Die in dem von Peter Arzt-Grabner und Christina M. Kreinecker herausgegebenen Band vorgelegten Beitrage widmen sich einzelnen Texten des Alten und Neuen Testaments (Genesis, Johannesevangelium, Paulusbriefe) und behandeln ubergreifende Themen wie die antike Sklaverei, das Hirtenwesen, die Autorschaft und Uberlieferungssgeschichte paulinischer Briefe, das Textilhandwerk, die Ausbildung von Lehrlingen, die Heiligenverehrung, die Ubersetzung der Hebraischen Bibel und die fruhchristliche Liturgie. Since more than 15 years, research projects entitled "Papyrological Commentaries on the New Testament" (PKNT) are sponsored by the Austrian Science Fund FWF. In December 2009 a symposium was held at the University of Salzburg where papyrologists, biblical scholars, scholars of classics, anthropology, and ancient law from the US, from Canada, Italy, Germany, and Austria met to present their papers. The "Papyrological Commentaries" focus on documentary papyri, ostraca, as well as wooden and waxed tablets from Greco-Roman times that illuminate language, genre, topics, and the social and political situation of biblical texts. The papers of this volume edited by Peter Arzt-Grabner and Christina M. Kreinecker deal with specific texts of the Old and New Testament (Genesis, Gospel of John, Pauline Letters) and are concerned with ancient slavery; the world of shepherds, weavers, and apprentices; the tradition and compilation of Pauline letters; the veneration of saints; the translation of the Hebrew Bible; and early Christian liturgy.

Download or read book The Bible and Immigration written by Markus Zehnder and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions relating to (im)migration are among the most heated topics on both sides of the Atlantic. Western societies have changed dramatically because of large-scale immigration in the last decades. Christians are also engaged in the discussion, attempting to find direction from the biblical texts. Overwhelmingly, persons in leading positions (both in the secular world and in churches and faith-based organizations) support the concept of “welcoming the stranger.” The Bible is seen by them as urging us to open the borders as wide as we can. In the broader population, however, reservations remain. This book, written by a Bible professor who has witnessed mass-migration first-hand, both in Europe and in the U.S., and who has been a migrant himself for over twenty years, attempts to step back and look at the whole of the complex biblical witness, instead of cherry-picking passages that further a specific agenda. It also looks at the salient data on the ground, in the fields of psychology, demography, economy, and security—data that can no longer be ignored when trying to apply the Bible in a responsible way. The book demonstrates the shortcomings of the vast majority of biblical and theological publications on the issue of (im)migration and presents a comprehensive argument for the use of wisdom and caution, and against short-sighted and emotionally driven policies supporting open borders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a collection of twenty-one essays of John S. Kloppenborg, with four foci: conceptual and methodological issues in the Synoptic Problem; the Sayings Gospel Q; the Gospel of Mark; and the Parables of Jesus. Kloppenborg, a major contributor to the Synoptic Problem, is especially interested in how one constructs synoptic hypotheses, always aware of the many gaps in our knowledge, the presence of competing hypotheses, and the theological and historical entailments in any given hypothesis. Common to the essays in the remaining three sections is the insistence that the literature, thought and practices of the early Jesus movement must be treated with a deep awareness of their social, literary, and intellectual contexts. The context of the early Jesus movement is illumined not simply by resort to the literary and historical sources produced by Greek and Roman elites but, more importantly, by data gathered from documentary sources available in non-literary papyri.

Download or read book The Freedman in the Roman World written by Henrik Mouritsen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedmen occupied a complex and often problematic place in Roman society between slaves on the one hand and freeborn citizens on the other. Playing an extremely important role in the economic life of the Roman world, they were also a key instrument for replenishing and even increasing the size of the citizen body. This book presents an original synthesis, for the first time covering both Republic and Empire in a single volume. While providing up-to-date discussions of most significant aspects of the phenomenon, the book also offers a new understanding of the practice of manumission, its role in the organisation of slave labour and the Roman economy, as well as the deep-seated ideological concerns to which it gave rise. It locates the freedman in a broader social and economic context, explaining the remarkable popularity of manumission in the Roman world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restless Youth in Ancient Rome presents an inclusive portrayal of the perceptions the Romans had of youth and of the role of this age group in a wide variety of domains - philosphy, literature, education, the law, the army, politics, leisure, amorous pursuits and family life. Emiel Eyben considers the involved farrago of thoughts, feelings and behaviour of youth throughout the period and shows how youth itself put its stamp on its environment.

Book excerpt: This is the first book to address the gap in the literature linking the physical culture of the ancient world with the beginnings of modern sport, this original book traces the history of the evolution of a variety of sport, games and physical education from 450-1650AD across Western Europe. Drawing on primary sources, this book takes a thematic approach, looking at the changing nature of geopolitical structures, educational systems, religious institutions and the practice of warfare and medicine and goes on to trace the disappearance of ancient physical culture with its gymnasia, gladiators and chariot races, the invention of a new physical culture based on chivalry around 1000AD, the transformation of that culture in the Renaissance, and its disappearance around 1650 under the influences of new science. Offering a new and original perspective on the relationship between sport and society, this unique study will be of great interest to all historians of sport and culture.

Download or read book Enemies of Civilization written by Mu-chou Poo and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enemies of Civilization is a work of comparative history and cultural consciousness that discusses how "others" were perceived in three ancient civilizations: Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China. Each civilization was the dominant culture in its part of the world, and each developed a mind-set that regarded itself as culturally superior to its neighbors. Mu-chou Poo compares these societies' attitudes toward other cultures and finds differences and similarities that reveal the self-perceptions of each society. Notably, this work shows that in contrast to modern racism based on biophysical features, such prejudice did not exist in these ancient societies. It was culture rather than biophysical nature that was the most important criterion for distinguishing us from them. By examining how societies conceive their prejudices, this book breaks new ground in the study of ancient history and opens new ways to look at human society, both ancient and modern.

Download or read book Infirmity in Antiquity and the Middle Ages written by Christian Krötzl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses infirmitas (’infirmity’ or ’weakness’) in ancient and medieval societies. It concentrates on the cultural, social and domestic aspects of physical and mental illness, impairment and health, and also examines frailty as a more abstract, cultural construct. It seeks to widen our understanding of how physical and mental well-being and weakness were understood and constructed in the longue durée from antiquity to the Middle Ages. The chapters are written by experts from a variety of disciplines, including archaeology, art history and philology, and pay particular attention to the differences of experience due to gender, age and social status. The book opens with chapters on the more theoretical aspects of pre-modern infirmity and disability, moving on to discuss different types of mental and cultural infirmities, including those with positive connotations, such as medieval stigmata. The last section of the book discusses infirmity in everyday life from the perspective of healing, medicine and care.
