Jesus and the Law
ISBN: 9780820341538 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In "Jesus and the Law, Alan Watson measures the success of Jesus s ministry by explaining his attitude toward, and knowledge of, certain laws and legal customs. Watson argues that Jesus engendered harsh responses from his fellow Jews by his apparently contemptuous or insensitive behavior that stemmed from a lack of knowledge or concern about legal and rabbinic strictures. Informed by Watson s knowledge of Jewish and Roman law and ancient history, and his skillful relation of Mishnaic and Talmudic materials to the time of Jesus, this book is more than a vivid retelling of the events of the...

The Trial of Stephen
ISBN: 9780820341545 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In "The Trial of Stephen" Alan Watson studies the first Christian martyr, who was stoned to death by a mob outside of Jerusalem around A.D. 36 during his trial by the supreme rabbinic court for blasphemy against the Jewish faith. Watson focuses on Stephen s enthralling defense speech, as found solely in the Acts of Apostles, which is both the pivotal and, until now, least understood part of the fatal proceedings. Watson locates the speech in the well-known genre of criminal trial defenses, which shows that the conduct of the accused was either justified or needs no justification and that the...

The Trial of Jesus
ISBN: 9780820341521 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In "The Trial of Jesus" Alan Watson argues that by virtue of Jesus s conviction and crucifixion at the hands of the Romans he failed to fulfill the prophecy of his messiahship in the manner he had intended. Jesus s destiny, as he saw it, was to be condemned by the Jewish authorities to death by stoning. This is just one of the provoking insights in Watson s fresh interpretation of the arrest, trial, and conviction of Jesus. Drawing on the four Gospels, writings from the period, and Jewish and Roman laws and customs, Watson adds substantially to what we know about Jesus himself, his...

Jesus: A Profile
ISBN: 9780820341552 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Alan Watson argues that a close examination of the Gospels in their historic and religious context reveals St. Mark s text as the most plausible account of how Jesus saw himself and how he was perceived by his contemporaries. In the gospel of Mark, Watson says that we see a Jesus who felt he was beyond the law a man who was basically apolitical, hostile to dogma, and deliberately incomprehensible to his followers and enemies. Watson concludes that Jesus was essentially a cult leader a charismatic individual who demanded personal faith from his followers with little regard to consistency or...

Jesus and the Jews
ISBN: 9780820341514 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In "Jesus and the Jews," Alan Watson reveals and substantiates a central yet previously unrecognized source for the composition of the Gospel of John. Strikingly antithetical to John s basic message, this source originated from an anti-Christian tradition promulgated by the Pharisees, the powerful and dogmatic teachers of Jewish law. The aims of this Pharisaic tradition, argues Watson, included discrediting Jesus as the Messiah, minimizing his historical importance, and justifying the Jewish authorities role in his death. "Jesus and the Jews" joins three other works by Watson "The Trial of...

The Digest of Justinian, Volume 1
ISBN: 9780812220339 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 768 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When Justinian became sole ruler of the Byzantine Empire in A.D. 527, he ordered the preparation of three compilations of Roman law that together formed the Corpus Juris Civilis. These works have become known individually as the "Code," which collected the legal pronouncements of the Roman emperors, the "Institutes," an elementary student's textbook, and the "Digest," by far the largest and most highly prized of the three compilations. The "Digest" was assembled by a team of sixteen academic lawyers commissioned by Justinian in 533 to cull everything of value from earlier Roman law. It was...

Legal Transplants: An Approach to Comparative Law, Second Edition
ISBN: 9780820315324 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In "Legal Transplants," one of the world's foremost authorities on legal history and comparative law puts forth a clear and concise statement of his controversial thesis on the way that law has developed throughout history. When it was first published in 1974, "Legal Transplants" sparked both praise and outrage. Alan Watson's argument challenges the long-prevailing notion that a close connection exists between the law and the society in which it operates. His main thesis is that a society's laws do not usually develop as a logical outgrowth of its own experience. Instead, he contends,...

Society and Legal Change
ISBN: 9781566399203 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this first U.S. edition of a classic work of comparative legal scholarship, Alan Watson argues that law fails to keep step with social change, even when that change is massive. To illustrate the ways in which law is dysfunctional, he draws on the two most innovative western systems, of Rome and England, to show that harmful rules continue for centuries. To make his case, he uses examples where, in the main, "the law benefits no recognizable group or class within the society (except possibly lawyers who benefit from confusion) and is generally inconvenient or positively harmful to society...

Slave Law in the Americas
ISBN: 9780820341170 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this book, Alan Watson argues that the slave laws of North and South America--the written codes defining the relationship of masters to slaves--reflect not so much the culture and society of the various colonies but the legal traditions of England, Europe, and ancient Rome. A pathbreaking study concerned as much with the nature of comparative law as the specific subject of the law of slavery, "Slave Law in the Americas" posits an essential distance in the Western legal tradition between the tenets of law and the values of the society they govern. Laws, Watson shows, often are made not... In this book, Alan Watson argues that the slave laws of North and South America--the written codes defining the relationship of masters to slaves--... |

The State, Law and Religion: Pagan Rome
ISBN: 9780820341187 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Written by one of our most respected legal historians, this book analyzes the interaction of law and religion in ancient Rome. As such, it offers a major new perspective on the nature and development of Roman law in the early republic and empire before Christianity was recognized and encouraged by Constantine. At the heart of the book is the apparent paradox that Roman private law is remarkably secular even though, until the late second century B.C., the Romans were regarded (and regarded themselves) as the most religious people in the world. Adding to the paradox was the fact that the... Written by one of our most respected legal historians, this book analyzes the interaction of law and religion in ancient Rome. As such, it offers a... |

A-Plus in Disconnect

Have you ever pondered why Canadian athletes so often fail to perform at a high level on the world stage? Or why university sport in Canada has long been an afterthought in the national consciousness, resulting in a steady exodus of our most complete and competent student-athletes south of the border? Lured as they are by the most realistic opportunity for fulfilling both their athletic and academic potential, they depart by the thousands each fall, leaving a gigantic hole in the Canadian sports system. Nowhere in the Constitution or in any book of real law, this freak of Canadian nature that...

Roman Law and Comparative Law
ISBN: 9780820312613 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. To understand how law develops and how legal rules and structures relate to society, one must examine the issues both comparatively and historically, Alan Watson asserts. And in the Western world, he adds, in order to understand law comparatively, one must have knowledge of Roman law. As his title suggests, Watson has divided the book into two related but independent parts. The first part, a revised and enlarged version of his 1970 volume The Law of the Ancient Romans, provides a comprehensive description of the system of Roman law. Watson begins with a discussion of law and... To understand how law develops and how legal rules and structures relate to society, one must examine the issues both comparatively and historicall... |
