Rousseau as Author: Consecrating One's Life to the Truth
ISBN: 9780226430249 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For Rousseau, "consecrating one's life to the truth" (his personal credo) meant publicly taking responsibility for what one publishes and only publishing what would be of public benefit. Christopher Kelly argues that this commitment is central to understanding the relationship between Rousseau's writings and his political philosophy.
Unlike many other writers of his day, Rousseau refused to publish anonymously, even though he risked persecution for his writings. But Rousseau felt that authors must be self-restrained, as well as bold, and must carefully consider the potential political...

Song of Songs
ISBN: 9780986123061 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Song of Songs is a profoundly mysterious poem. It is both deeply spiritual and dangerously sensual. It has puzzled and delighted readers and scholars for hundreds of years, being translated more than any other part of the Bible. Christopher Kelly takes a new approach, uncovering a miraculously complex structure in the Song. Understanding this structure is the key to the Song's lock, opening the door on a true love story.

Cassian's Conferences: Scriptural Interpretation and the Monastic Ideal
ISBN: 9781409405597 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores Cassian's use of scripture in the Conferences, especially its biblical models to convey his understanding of the desert ideal to the monastic communities of Gaul. Cassian intended the scriptures and, implicitly, the Conferences to be the voices of authority and orthodoxy in the Gallic environment. He interprets familiar biblical characters in unfamiliar ways that exemplify his ideal. By imitating their actions the monk enters a seamless lineage of authority stretching back to Abraham. This book demonstrates how the scriptures functioned as a dynamic force in the lives of...

ISBN: 9780192803917 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. The Roman Empire was a remarkable achievement. It had a population of sixty million people spread across lands encircling the Mediterranean and stretching from northern England to the sun-baked banks of the Euphrates, and from the Rhine to the North African coast. It was, above all else, an empire of force--employing a mixture of violence, suppression, order, and tactical use of power to develop an astonishingly uniform culture.
Here, historian Christopher Kelly covers the history of the Empire from Augustus to Marcus Aurelius, describing the empire's formation, and its political,...
