Voting about God in Early Church Councils
ISBN: 9780300115963 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this study, Ramsay MacMullen steps aside from the well-worn path that previous scholars have trod to explore exactly how early Christian doctrines became official. Drawing on extensive verbatim stenographic records, he analyzes the ecumenical councils from A.D. 325 to 553, in which participants gave authority to doctrinal choices by majority vote.

Romanization in the Time of Augustus
ISBN: 9780300137538 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. During the lifetime of Augustus (from 63 B.C. to A.D. 14), Roman civilization spread at a remarkable rate throughout the ancient world, influencing such areas as art and architecture, religion, law, local speech, city design, clothing, and leisure and family activities. In this vivid book, Ramsay MacMullen investigates why the adoption of Roman ways was so prevalent during this period.
Drawing largely on archaeological sources, MacMullen discovers that during this period more than half a million Roman veterans were resettled in colonies overseas, and an additional hundred or more urban...

Christianizing the Roman Empire: (A. D. 100-400)
ISBN: 9780300036428 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. How did the early Christian church manage to win its dominant place in the Roman world? In his newest book, an eminent historian of ancient Rome examines this question from a secular--rather than an ecclesiastical--viewpoint. MacMullen's provocative conclusion is that mass conversions to Christianity were based more on the appeal of miracle or the opportunity for worldly advantages than simply on a "rising tide of Christian piety."
"Provocative to the Christian religious scholar and the nonreligious historian alike. . . . MacMullen's style is lucid, and the story of a period with its own...

Christianity and Paganism in the Fourth to Eighth Centuries
ISBN: 9780300080773 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The slaughter of animals for religious feasts, the tinkling of bells to ward off evil during holy rites, the custom of dancing in religious services-these and many other pagan practices persisted in the Christian church for hundreds of years after Constantine proclaimed Christianity the one official religion of Rome. In this book, Ramsay MacMullen investigates the transition from paganism to Christianity between the fourth and eighth centuries. He reassesses the triumph of Christianity, contending that it was neither tidy nor quick, and he shows that the two religious systems were both vital...

The Second Church: Popular Christianity A.D. 200-400
ISBN: 9781589834033 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Christianity in the century both before and after Constantine s conversion is familiar thanks to the written sources; now Ramsay MacMullen, in his fifth book on ancient Christianity, considers especially the unwritten evidence. He uses excavation reports about hundreds of churches of the fourth century to show what worshipers did in them and in the cemeteries where most of them were built. What emerges, in this richly illustrated work, is a religion that ordinary Christians, by far the majority, practiced in a different and largely forgotten second church. The picture fits with textual...

Corruption & Decline of Rome
ISBN: 9780300047998 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 331 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Prominent historian Ramsay MacMullen here offers a new perspective on the decline and fall of Rome. MacMullen argues that a key factor in Rome's fall was the steady loss of focus and control over government as its aims were thwarted for private gain by high-ranking bureaucrats and military leaders. Written in an informal and lively style, his book--the culmination of years of research and thoughtful analysis--provides a fascinating, fresh line of investigation and shows convincingly that the decline of Rome was a gradual, insidious process rather than a climactic event.

Roman Social Relations, 50 B.C. to A.D. 284
ISBN: 9780300027020 / Angielski / Miękka / 1981 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "In this interesting and suggestive book, Professor MacMullen views anew an important and rather neglected aspect of Roman social relations. A perceptive and sensitive interpreter, he has drawn widely upon the scattered and unorganized evidence about the poorer classes, rural and urban, in much of the Roman Empire, and presents a fresh picture of their conditions, attitudes and aims."--T. Robert S. Broughton

Why Do We Do What We Do?: Motivation in History and the Social Sciences
ISBN: 9783110417586 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why we do what we do is a matter of great interest to everyone, and everyone seems to have had their say about it - philosophers, sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists, economists, and historians perhaps the most, case by case. Occasionally the specialists have offered their ideas to a general readership, but mostly they prefer to speak to and with their fellows in their particular disciplines. To evaluate and compare their findings in a cross-disciplinary way is now for the first time attempted, by Ramsay MacMullen. Emeritus history professor from Yale University, he is the...

This study, first published in 1969, presents an astute and authoritative depiction of the cultural, religious and secular developments which shook the Roman world in the late 3rd and early 4th centuries AD, much of it under the auspices of the Emperor, Constantine the Great. Constantine was at the heart of the transition from pagan antiquity to Christendom. Rejecting the collegiate imperial system of his recent predecessors, he reunited the two halves of the Empire; established Christianity as its formal religion; and shifted the capital of the Roman world definitively to the city...
