The Council of Constantinople of 553 (often called Constantinople II or the Fifth Ecumenical Council) has been described as 'by far the most problematic of all the councils', because it condemned two of the greatest biblical scholars and commentators of the patristic era Origen and Theodore of Mopsuestia and because the pope of the day, Vigilius, first condemned the council and then confirmed its decisions only under duress. The present edition makes accessible to the modern reader the acts of the council, session by session, and the most important related documents, particularly those that...

Greenfields
ISBN: 9781857549201 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A quiet but fast-changing corner of Scotland is tenderly documented in this collection that sets family, lovers, and geographical and dynastic time against the speed of modernity. The theme of a modern territory superimposed onto a much older one is developed as the poetry elegizes the ancient landscape of Renfrewshire. The collection is also sensitive to the nuances of family relationships and has an uncanny evocation of a child s developing perspective of friends, siblings, and parents. Ultimately, this compilation reclaims suburbia as a place of unexpected poetry and even beauty."
