Oriental Responses to the West: Comparative Essays in Select Writers from the Muslim World
ISBN: 9789004091771 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modern writers and scholars from the Islamic East have represented actual or fictional encounters with the West in a surprising variety of ways. Far from constituting a mono- lithic approach to the West, as Western "Orientalism" often tended to, these writings reveal an interest in and sometimes acute perception of cross-cultural conflict and synthesis. The very difficulties experienced by writers and critics immersed in two or more cultures have led to new creative and innovative forms of response to the West. By shifting focus in East-West relations towards the East, it initiates further...

Georg Busolt: His Career in His Letters
ISBN: 9789004092259 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

There are four chapters (The Busolt Family; Konigsberg; Kiel, Gottingen), the last three corresponding to the universities where he studied and taught. Despite Busolt's eminence and the...

The Divine Verdict: A Study of the Divine Judgement in the Ancient Religions
ISBN: 9789004092310 / Angielski / Twarda / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The theme of divine judgement has often been treated, but usually with a concentration on one it its two main aspects: either that which is seen in the present life and in history or that which is believed to occur only after death. This new study seeks to combine the two aspects. It also tries to cover the whole spectrum of the ancient religions. Special attention is given to Israel, Greece, and Egypt. Israel's neighbours are also considered, and there are discussions of Judaism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism. In several areas, notably in Egypt and Israel, it is shown that punishment in...

This is the second of a two-volume collection of studies on inconsistencies in Greek and Roman religion. Their common aim is to argue for the historical relevance of various types of ambiguity and dissonance.

A History of Zoroastrianism, Zoroastrianism Under Macedonian and Roman Rule
ISBN: 9789004092716 / Angielski / Twarda / 616 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume traces the history of Zoroastrianism at times and places where its existence has previously been largely ignored, or treated only episodically. Literary, archaeological and numismatic evidence has been drawn on (some of it only recently brought to light), and local developments are distinguished. In Iran itself some 200 years of Macedonian rule had little effect on the national religion. To the east, Zoroastrianism survived in the Greco-Bactrian kingdoms and under Mauryan suzereinty, where it came into contact with Buddhism. In Eastern Mediterranean lands it was maintained by...

The Anthropology of Johannes Scottus Eriugena
ISBN: 9789004093027 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book deals with Eriugena's anthropology in the general context of his thinking on universal nature.
At the outset the role of man seems to be conditioned by nature's dynamic development through the Neoplatonic stages of procession and return. As man is located at the turning- point between procession and return, he is not only governed by nature's unfolding, but can also exercise control over it. Thus it is shown that man should be seen as much more independent than the cosmological structure of Eriugena's philosophy of nature seems to indicate. The study of Eriugena's anthropology...

Isis Und Ihre Dienerinnen in Der Kunst Der Römischen Kaiserzeit
ISBN: 9789004093126 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Das Thema des Buches ist der Isiskult wahrend der romischen Kaiserzeit, wie er in zahleichen Darstellungen der agyptischen Gottin und solcher ihr angeglichener Frauen zum Ausdruck kommt. Wahrend sich dadurch zum einen diese Frauen ganz allgemein als Dienerinnen der Isis zu erkennen geben, fallt zum anderen ein besonderes Licht auf die zur Angleichung ausgewahlten Bilder der Gottin. Dabei handelt es sich, anders als bei den meisten bekannten Isistypen, um keine mythologisch erklarbaren Gottesbilder. Sie sind deshalb der Forschung ebenso ratselhaft geblieben wie die entsprechend angeglichenen...

Bible Translation and the Spread of the Church: The Last 200 Years
ISBN: 9789004093317 / Angielski / Twarda / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The growth of the Church in the last two centuries has been paralleled by an explosion in the number of languages into which all or part of the Bible has been translated. This book is perhaps the first serious effort to examine a number of issues related to that phenomenon, among them how theology can affect the kind of translation prepared, and how the type of translation itself can affect the theology of a church. It also addresses the topics of why a church generally develops faster and with a deeper faith if it has the Bible; how decisions of text, canon, exegesis, type of language and...
