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...

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...

Society and Legal Change
ISBN: 9781566399197 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 169 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...

Law Out of Context
ISBN: 9780820341163 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Law and society are closely related, though the relationship between the two is both complicated and understudied. In a world of rapidly changing people, places, and ideas, law is frequently taken out of context, often with surprising and unnecessary consequences. As societies and their structures, religious doctrines, and economies change, laws previously established often remain unchanged. Dominant nations frequently impose their own laws on weaker nations, whether or not their cultures are similar. Conquered nations, after regaining freedom, often keep their conquerors' laws by default....

Ancient Law and Modern Understanding: At the Edges
ISBN: 9780820341156 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In "Ancient Law and Modern Understanding" Alan Watson proposes that ancient law is relevant and important for understanding history, theology, sociology, and literature. "Law, though technical," he writes, "is not remote from scholarship on other matters, and law is a central element in society." From Homeric Greece to present-day Armenia, Watson examines law's influence. Without a sensitivity to technical legal language, scholars of literature or history miss much: the use of puns in Plautus, Sulla's claim that Julius Caesar was descended from a slave, the relationship between the...

The Digest of Justinian, Volume 4
ISBN: 9780812220360 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 768 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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...

Sources of Law, Legal Change, and Ambiguity
ISBN: 9780812216394 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why is the law notoriously unclear, arcane, slow to change in the face of changing circumstances? In this sweeping comparative analysis of the lawmaking process from ancient Rome to the present day, Alan Watson argues that the answer has largely to do with the mixed ancestry of modern law, the confusion of sources--custom, legislation, scholarly writing, and judicial precedent--from which it derives. Why is the law notoriously unclear, arcane, slow to change in the face of changing circumstances? In this sweeping comparative analysis of the lawm... |

Joseph Story and the Comity of Errors
ISBN: 9780820341507 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Joseph Story and the Comity of Errors" examines the decisions of Supreme Court justice and Harvard law professor Joseph Story (1779 1845). According to Alan Watson, Story erred in his interpretation of Dutchman Ulrich Huber s theory of comity the respect accorded by one sovereignty to another sovereignty s laws. Watson suggests that it is because of Story s misinterpretation that the Dred Scott case went before the United States Supreme Court, whose notorious ruling against Scott fed directly into heated sectional conflict that culminated in the Civil War. Demonstrating the odd twists and...

The Spirit of Roman Law
ISBN: 9780820330617 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book is not about the rules or concepts of Roman law, says Alan Watson, but about the values and approaches, explicit and implicit, of those who made the law. The scope of Watson's concerns encompasses the period from the Twelve Tables, around 451 B.C., to the end of the so-called classical period, around A.D. 235. As he discusses the issues and problems that faced the Roman legal intelligentsia, Watson also holds up Roman law as a clear, although admittedly extreme, example of law's enormous impact on society in light of society's limited input into law. Roman private law has been... This book is not about the rules or concepts of Roman law, says Alan Watson, but about the values and approaches, explicit and implicit, of those w... |

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,...
