Monica: An Ordinary Saint
ISBN: 9780199988396 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Rarely did ancient authors write about the lives of women; even more rarely did they write about the lives of ordinary women: not queens or heroines who influenced war or politics, not sensational examples of virtue or vice, not Christian martyrs or ascetics, but women of moderate status, who experienced everyday joys and sorrows and had everyday merits and failings. Such a woman was Monica--now Saint Monica because of her relationship with her son Augustine, who wrote about her in the Confessions and elsewhere. Despite her rather unremarkable life, Saint Monica has inspired a robust...

ISBN: 9781545504130 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The most important days of our lives are often the ones which come without warning. Although it was just another regular day that began with another annoying buzz of the early morning alarm clock for Jenny, a nurse working at the hospital her rise had already set in motion a chain of events that would change her life forever. And although her mother had always told her that every single action of a person contributed to "life's rich tapestry," Jenny could never foresee how the day's events would result in her now uncertain future. Witnessing the mugging of an old couple during her lunch...

Augustine: The Confessions
ISBN: 9781904675037 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Augustine's 'Confessions', written at the close of the fourth century CE, is a highly significant text in the history of European culture. Augustine explains just how and why he came to abandon a successful career and the personal enjoyments of a largely secular existence to follow a life of prayer and study, leading to a true comprehension of God and the Bible. The avowed approach of this introductory book is to 'historicise' - to set Augustine's own experiences of religion, philosophy and Christian faith against the long-standing political, cultural and religious traditions of the classical...

Women in Late Antiquity: Pagan and Christian Lifestyles
ISBN: 9780198721666 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book bridges a gap between two traditional disciplines. Since the 1970s, there has been a remarkable outpouring of work on women in antiquity, but women in late antiquity (3rd-6th centuries A.D.) have been far less studied. Classicists have been more concerned with the first two centuries A.D., and theologians have been interested in New Testament, rather than patristic, teaching about women or its social and cultural setting. In this book, Clark offers an introduction to the basic conditions of life for women: marriage, divorce, celibacy and prostitution; legal constraints and...

Late Antiquity: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780199546206 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Late antiquity saw the barbarian invasions overrun the western Roman empire and Persian and Arab armies end Roman rule over the eastern and southern coasts of the Mediterranean. Was late antiquity therefore merely a time of decline? In this vibrant and compact introduction, Gillian Clark sheds light on the concept of late antiquity and the events of its time, showing that this was in fact a period of great transformation. Late antiquity saw Roman law codified, Christian creeds formulated, the Talmud compiled, and the Qur'an composed. If the Goths sacked the city of Rome, the Vandals built...

Body and Gender, Soul and Reason in Late Antiquity
ISBN: 9781409423751 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What does it mean to say that a human being is body and soul, and how does each affect the other? Late antique philosophers, Christians included, asked these central questions. The papers collected here explore their answers, and use those answers to ask further questions, reading Iamblichus, Porphyry, Augustine and others in their social and intellectual context. Among the topics dealt with are the following. Humans are mortal rational beings, so how does the mortal body affect the rational soul? The body needs food: what foods are best for the soul, and is it right to eat animal foods if...
