Abstract

How does one lead a life of law, love, and freedom? This inquiry has very deep roots in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Indeed, the divergent answers to this inquiry mark the transition from Judeo to Christian. This book returns to those roots to trace the twists and turns that these ideas have taken as they move from the sacred to the secular. It relates our most important mode of social organization, law, to two of our most cherished values, love and freedom. In this book, Joshua Neoh sketches the moral vision that underlies our modern legal order and traces our secular legal ideas (constitutionalism versus anarchism) to their theological origins (monasticism versus antinomianism). Law, Love, and Freedom brings together a diverse cast of characters, including Paul and Luther, Augustine and Aquinas, monks and Gnostics, and constitutionalists and anarchists. This book is valuable to any lawyers, philosophers, theologians and historians, who are interested in law as a humanistic discipline.

Abstract

Most of the Tales and Sayings of the Desert Fathers (Apophthegms) have survived in Greek and most of them are now available in English, almost 2500 in number. A further six hundred items in six languages have been available in French for some time, but often in second- and even third-hand translations. These have now been newly translated directly from the original languages by scholars skilled in those languages and are presented, alongside an Introduction and brief notes, to the English reader who wishes to know more of those men and some women who rejected 'the world' and went to live in the desert regions of Egypt and elsewhere in the fourth to seventh centuries.

Abstract

The first history of the deaconess movement in the United States In the late nineteenth century, a new movement arose within American Protestant Christianity. Unsalaried groups of women began living together, wearing plain dress, and performing nursing, teaching, and other works of welfare. Modeled after the lifestyles of Catholic nuns, these women became America’s first deaconesses. Sanctified Sisters,the first history of the deaconess movement in the United States, traces its origins in the late nineteenth century through to its present manifestations. Drawing on archival research, demographic surveys, and material culture evidence, Jenny Wiley Legath offers new insights into who the deaconesses were, how they lived, and what their legacy has been for women in Protestant Christianity. The book argues that the deaconess movement enabled Protestant women—particularly single women—to gain power in a male-dominated Protestant world. They created hundreds of new institutions within Protestantism and created new roles for women within the church. While some who study women’s ordination draw a line from the deaconesses’ work to the struggle for women’s ordination in various branches of Protestant Christianity, Legath argues that most deaconesses were not interested in ordination. Yet, while they didn’t mean to, they did end up providing a foundation for today’s ordination debates. Their very existence worked to open the possibility of ecclesiastically authorized women’s agency.

Abstract

Les 26 contributions réunies dans ce volume renouvellent quelques-uns des secteurs de l'histoire maritime, en attirant l'attention sur la méthodologie, les recherches récentes, les problématiques nouvelles, la recherche interdisciplinaire, l'archéologie, l'iconographie et le roman. On suit pendant deux millénaires quelques-uns des nombreux changements qui ont affecté les façades océaniques des cinq continents, en Amérique latine comme à Madagascar et dans l'Océan Indien, sur les rivages de la Méditerranée comme dans le commerce eurasien. Quelques thèmes demeurent privilégiés, les navires et la navigation, les marines de guerre et les politiques navales des États, l'exploitation des littoraux et les installations portuaires, les marchandises et les frets, les tonnages et les mesures, les assurances maritimes. Les marins, voyageurs, pèlerins, missionnaires, marchands, tous ces gens de mer occupent une grande place dans cet ouvrage, qui traite de la famille, de la formation et des apprentissages, de la santé et des maladies professionnelles, des croyances et des genres de vie. Ce volume qui fait toute sa place à l'histoire des mentalités s'honore de multiples contributions internationales et de la collaboration de quelques spécialistes, médecin, architecte naval..., issus des gens de mer.
