Power and Purity : Cathar Heresy in Medieval Italy
ISBN: 9780195063912 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Catharism was a popular medieval heresy based on the belief that the creation of humankind was a disaster in which angelic spirits were trapped in matter by the devil. Their only goal was to escape the body through purification. Cathars denied any value to material life, including the human body, baptism, and the Eucharist, even marriage and childbirth. What could explain the long popularity of such a bleak faith in the towns of southern France and Italy? Power and Purity explores the place of cathar heresy in the life of the medieval Italian town of Orvieto. Based on extensive...

Female Piety in Puritan New England : The Emergence of Religious Humanism
ISBN: 9780195068214 / Angielski / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A synthesis of literary critical and historical methods, Porterfield's book combines insightful analysis of Puritan theological writings with detailed examinations of historical records showing the changing patterns of church membership and domestic life. She finds that by conflating marriage as a trope of grace with marriage as a social construct, Puritan ministers invested relationships between husbands and wives with religious meaning. Images of female piety represented the humility that Puritans believed led all Christians to self-control and, ultimately, to love. But while images of...

The Invisible God : The Earliest Christians on Art
ISBN: 9780195113815 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This revisionist study challenges the received opinion that in its earliest manifestations Christianity was a form of religiosity opposed both on principle and in fact to the use of pictures. Paul Corby Finney argues that the well-known absence of Christian pictures before A.D. 200 is due to a complex interplay of social, economic, and political factors, and is not, as is commonly assumed, a result of an anti-image ideology. The book documents the origins of Christian art based on some of the oldest surviving Christian archaeological evidence, and it seeks to show how the Christian products...

Competitive Spirits : Latin America's New Religious Economy
ISBN: 9780195161847 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For over four centuries the Catholic Church enjoyed a religious monopoly in Latin America in which potential rivals were repressed or outlawed. Latin Americans were born Catholic and the only real choice they had was whether to actively practice the faith. Taking advantage of the legal disestablishment of the Catholic Church between the late 1800s and the early 1900s, Pentecostals almost single-handedly built a new pluralist religious economy. By the 1950s, many Latin Americans were free to choose from among the hundreds of available religious "products," a dizzying array of religious options...
