Religious Origins of Nations?: The Christian Communities of the Middle East
ISBN: 9789004173750 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

These communities have endured to the present day. However, there is much debate as to how they came into existence and defined themselves. The role of religion is central to this debate. A major interdisciplinary research project conducted at Leiden University investigated the identity...

Der zweite Typus ist dagegen deutlich von einer Mentalitat gepragt, die wir als fromme Religiositat bezeichnen wurden. Es sind demutige Gebete um gottliche Strafe an einer unbekannten Person, die dem Verfasser Unrecht getan hat. Erstaunlich ist, dass die antiken Menschen sich,...
