The Challenge of Homer: School, Pagan Poets and Early Christianity
ISBN: 9780567426642 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Homer was the gateway to education, to the skills of reading and writing. These skills were necessary for the nascent Church. Knowledge of Homer's writings was a sign of Greekness, of at-home-ness in the society. Education was embedded in the mythology, immorality and idolatry of these writings. This challenged the Christians. This study presents how Christians responded to this. The opinions varied from rejection of Homer and all pagan literature, considering them works of the Devil, to critical involvement with this literature. This study attempts to trace the discourse on Homer and...

Early Christian Discourses on Jesus' Prayer at Gethsemane: Courageous, Committed, Cowardly?
ISBN: 9789004309593 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From early on, Christians passed down the account of Jesus's agony at the prospect of his own death and his prayer that the cup should pass from him (Gethsemane). Yet, this is a troublesome aspect of Christian tradition. Jesus was committed to his death, but as it approached, he prayed for his escape, even as he submitted himself to God's will. Ancient critics mocked Jesus and his followers for the events at Gethsemane. The 'hero' failed to meet the cultural standards for noble death and masculinity. As such, this story calls for further reflection and interpretation. The present book unfolds...

Jesus as Healer: A Gospel for the Body
ISBN: 9780802873316 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 283 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Healings and miracles play a prominent role in the New Testament accounts of Jesus' life and ministry. In the Western Christian tradition, however, Jesus' works of healing tend to be downplayed and understood as little more than a demonstration of his divine power.
In this book Jan-Olav Henriksen and Karl Olav Sandnes draw on both contemporary systematic theology and New Testament scholarship to challenge and investigate the reasons for that oversight. They constructively consider what it can mean for Christian theology today to understand Jesus as a healer, to embrace fully the...

The Gospel 'According to Homer and Virgil': Cento and Canon
ISBN: 9789004187184 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the fourth century C.E. some Christians paraphrased the stories about Jesus' life in the style of classical epics. Imitating the genre of centos, they stitched together lines taken either from Homer (Greek) or Virgil (Latin). They thus created new texts out of the classical epics, while they still remained fully within the confines of their style and vocabulary. It is the aim of this study to put these attempts into a historical and rhetorical context. Why did some Christians rewrite the Gospel stories in this way, and what came out of this? On the basis of these Christian centos, it is...

Belly and Body in the Pauline Epistles
ISBN: 9780521815352 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The belly is today a matter of much concern. Modern cultures, particularly in the West, have developed means to cultivate this part of the body: corsets, exercises, revealing fashions. In this exploration of the belly motif, Karl Olav Sandnes asks whether St Paul might be addressing a culture in which the stomach is similarly high on the agenda. The result is a surprising new insight into his writings. Paul twice mentions the enigmatic phrase belly-worship (Phil 3; Rom 16). The proper context for these texts is the moral philosophy debate about mastering the desires, and the reputation of...

Early Christian Prayer and Identity Formation
ISBN: 9783161535208 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 421 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The contributors of this volume address the question of identity among Christ-believers from the viewpoint of prayer. Prayer brings into the discussion several dimensions that make up religious identity. It is attested rather early that prayer was theology performed, and thus intertwined with emerging theologies. Furthermore, prayer was Christocentric in orientation and focus. As of yet, these aspects have not received due attention in scholarly discussions. Christian identity, albeit fragile and complex, was taking shape already in the first century and found itself on the verge between...
