ISBN: 9780830814718 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The rich tapestry of the creation narrative in the early chapters of Genesis proved irresistible to the thoughtful, reflective minds of the church fathers. Within them they found the beginning threads from which to weave a theology of creation, fall and redemption. Following their mentor, the apostle Paul, they explored the profound significance of Adam as a type of Christ, the second Adam. The six days of creation proved especially attractive among the fathers as a subject for commentary, with Basil the Great and Ambrose producing well-knownHexaemerons. Similarly, Augustine devoted...

ISBN: 9780826457721 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Andrew Louth examines all the traditions on which Denys' work draws: the Fourth Century Greek theologians, pagan philosophy and Syrian Christian thought. The corpus of Denys the Areopagite appeared in the sixth century and have since been deeply influential on Christian thinking both in East and West.

The Early Byzantine Christian Church: An Archaeological Re-Assessment of Forty-Seven Early Byzantine Basilical Church Excavations Primarily in Israel
ISBN: 9783034317092 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 229 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The observation that domestic artefacts are often recovered during church excavations led to an archaeological re-assessment of forty-seven Early Byzantine basilical church excavations and their historical, gender and liturgical context. The excavations were restricted to the three most common basilical church plans to allow for like-for-like analysis between sites that share the same plan: monoapsidal, inscribed and triapsidal. These sites were later found to have two distinct sanctuary configurations, namely a ?-shaped sanctuary in front of the apse, or else a sanctuary that extended across...

The Origins of the Christian Mystical Tradition: From Plato to Denys
ISBN: 9780199291403 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Scholars of the patristic era have paid more attention to the dogmatic tradition in their period than to the development of Christian mystical theology. Andrew Louth aims to redress the balance. Recognizing that the intellectual form of this tradition was decisively influenced by Platonic ideas of the soul's relationship to God, Louth begins with an examination of Plato and Platonism. The discussion of the Fathers which follows shows how the mystical tradition is at the heart of their thought and how the dogmatic tradition both molds and is the reflection of mystical insights and concerns....

Love: New Century Theology
ISBN: 9780826464347 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Here is an entirely original approach to the theology of love, a subject little covered in too much recent theology in the West. In the New Testament, Love is the principle of Gods action and mans response. The word agape was introduced by New Testament writers to express the meaning of their understanding of love. In its full sense, love in Christian theology is not only the motive principle of the perfect relationship between God and man but also consitutes the essential nature of God Himself. In the Eastern theological tradition, writing on this subject has been much richer- indeed it...

St Demetrius of Thessalonica: Cult and Devotion in the Middle Ages
ISBN: 9783034301817 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 213 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The cult of St Demetrius is of considerable age but it peaked with the emergence of his city, Thessalonica, as a prominent political and cultural centre in late Byzantium. This book examines the intensification of his popularity and veneration in the late Middle Ages and his impact on contemporary thought and ritual. The encomia written in the saint s honour are significant historical and literary monuments and in their suggestiveness and beauty they are on a level with many better-known works in medieval Greek. Indeed, the encomia have added historical interest because of the prominence of...

From «Pax Ottomanica» to «Pax Europaea»: The Growth and Decline of a Greek Village's Micro-Economy
ISBN: 9783034317498 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 359 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The macroeconomic development of south-eastern Europe has been profoundly affected not only by the region s major historical events for example, liberation from the Ottoman Empire, the outbreak of civil wars, and the birth of new nations but also by global events, such as the world-wide conflicts of the twentieth century, and the recent transnational processes of globalisation and European integration. The rationale of this book is to employ a comprehensive micro-history that is, the history of one particular community: in this case, the village of Tsamantas, in north-western Greece as a...
