Models Of Charitable Care: Catholic Nuns And Children In Their Care In Amsterdam, 1852-2002

de Annelies Van Heijst

237,18€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Models of Charitable Care analyses the practice of Catholic nuns in Amsterdam in the 19th and 20th century. Attention is paid to the ambiguous ascetic spiritual discourse that underpinned their work: it encouraged charity as solidarity with strangers, but caused intense emotional distance too. Historiography is mainly manufactured by religious and lay academics who shared the congregational perspective and presented fairly positive evaluations. Criticism from within, however, is voiced by care leavers who grew up in homes ran by religious. Some are grateful, others bitter. The sisters were living models who combined an anti-worldly outlook with a practical concern for vulnerable creatures. Relating various theoretical interpretations, a typology of three models is developed with 'agency' as the differentiating criterion.

Limburg Sermons: Preaching In The Medieval Low Countries At The Turn Of The Fourteenth Century

de Wybren Scheepsma

237,18€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 For a long time it was thought that there were no Middle Dutch sermons dating from the thirteenth century. It was only after J.P. Gumbert had redated the manuscript from The Hague containing the Limburg Sermons that its contents could be assigned to that century. Most of the Limburg Sermons appear to be translations of the Middle High German St. Georgen sermons. But sixteen of these texts are known only in Middle Dutch, and among these is to be found material drawn from the works of Hadewijch and Beatrijs van Nazareth. Thus the Limburg Sermons emerge to take their place in the famous tradition of Brabantine mysticism.

Dire L'Interdit - The Vocabulary Of Censure And Exclusion In The Early Modern Reformed Tradition

230,55€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Church discipline and the Reformed consistory, whether in Hungary, the Swiss world, France, The Netherlands or the British Isles, have become the subject of intense scholarly discussion. The fifteen essays gathered in this volume examine the process of censure and excommunication across Europe from the mid-sixteenth through the late eighteenth centuries. They reevaluate the relationship of women to ecclesiastical authority and explore the complex ways in which exclusion from the Lord's Supper operated. Several contributors trace the decrease in excommunication over time; others underscore national differences in its nature and the surprising infrequency of application. Together, they offer a fresh, unanticipated and illuminating portrait of the reform of morals associated with John Calvin and his followers.Les disciplines ecclesiastiques et les consistoire reformes aussi bien en Hongrie, que dans le monde Suisse, la France, les Pays-Bas ou les Iles britanniques, ont fait l'objet d'intenses debats universitaires. Les quinze textes reunis dans ce volume examinent les processus de censure et d'excommunication pratiques dans toute l'Europe depuis le milieu du XVIe siecle jusqu'a la fin du XVIIIe siecle. Ils reexaminent les positions des femmes face a l'autorite ecclesiastique et explorent les differentes manieres de concevoir et d'appliquer l'exclusion de la Cene. Plusieurs contributeurs decrivent la diminution de la pratique de l'excommunication au fil du temps, d'autres soulignent les differences nationales dans sa nature et les surprenantes variations de son application. Tous offrent un nouveau portrait, inattendu et eclairant, de la reforme de la morale associee a Jean Calvin et ses successeurs.Contributors are Edwin Bezzina, Serge Brunet, Philippe Chareyre, Christian Grosse, Robert M.

Arminius, Arminianism, And Europe - Jacobus Arminius (1559/60-1609)

237,18€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 19 October 2009 marked the 400th anniversary of the death of Jacobus Arminius in Leiden. He was esteemed for the way in which he sought a via media between strict Calvinism and a more humanistic variant of Christian belief. However, because of his deviation from mainstream Calvinism, he has also been violently attacked. Was he a pioneer, who enriched the Reformed tradition by opening it towards new horizons, or a heretic, who founded a new tradition, as an alternative to Reformed theology?The day of the death of this remarkable theologian was commemorated with a conference at Leiden University on Arminius, Aminianism, and Europe (9 and 10 October 2009). The main contributions to that conference are collected in this book. The first part contains some essays on the thinking of Arminius himself: the structure of his theology, his relation to Augustine, and to Rome. The second part deals with Arminianism. Was it influenced by Socinianism, as its opponents often claimed? How was it received in Europe: in Germany, Switzerland (Geneva), England, and Ireland? How far did Arminianism prepare the way for the ideals of the Enlightenment, which made its entry later on in the seventeenth century? An extensive iconography of Jacobus Arminius and an annotated bibliography of all his known writings complete, in the third part, this volume.

Raiding Saint Peter: Empty Sees, Violence, And The Initiation Of The Great Western Schism (1378)

de Joelle Rollo-Koster

237,18€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Throughout the European Middle Ages, the death of high-ranking prelates was usually interwoven with violent practices. During Empty Sees, mobs ransacked bishops' and popes' properties to loot their movable goods. Eventually, in the later Middle Ages, they also plundered the goods of newly-elected popes, and the cells of the Conclave. This book follows and analyzes the history of this violence, using a methodology akin to cultural anthropology, with concepts such as liminal periodization. It contends that pillaging was attached to ecclesiastical interregna, and the nature of ecclesiastical elections contributed to a pillaging 'problem.' This approach allows for a fresh reading and re-contextualization of one of the greatest political crises of the later Middle Ages, the Great Western Schism.

Sober, Strict, And Scriptural: Collective Memories Of John Calvin, 1800-2000

237,18€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Calvinism's influence and reputation have received ample scholarly attention. But how John Calvin himself - his person, character, and deeds - was remembered, commemorated, and memorialized, is a question few historians have addressed. Focussing on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this volume aims to open up the subject with chapters on Calvin's monumentalization in statues and museums, his appearance in novels, children's books, and travel writing, his iconic function for Hungarian nationalists and Presbyterian missionaries to China, his reputation among Mormons and freethinkers, and his rivalry with Michael Servetus in French Protestant memory. The result is a fresh contribution to the field of religious memory studies and an invitation to further comparative research.Contributors include: R. Bryan Bademan, Patrick Cabanel, R. Scott Clark, Thomas J. Davis, Stephen S. Francis, Joe B. Fulton, Botond Gaal, Stefan Laube, Johan de Niet, Herman Paul, James Rigney, Michele Sacquin, Jonathan Seitz, Robert Vosloo, Bart Wallet, and Valentine Zuber.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Walking the first mile of the Nevsky Prospekt in St. Petersburg, the visitor is struck by the sight of the Dutch, Finnish, Swedish, German, Armenian Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, and Roman Catholic churches. These buildings reflect the religious, cultural, and social diversity that has been characteristic of the city since Tsar Peter the Great invited thousands of foreigners from all over Western Europe to build this settlement at the estuary of the Neva River. On the occasion of the third centenary of St. Petersburg (2003), historians and archivists from Russia as well as other European countries convened to study the history of the city's foreign churches in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The resulting studies, published here, offer fascinating insights into the almost forgotten history of those churches and show how substantially they contributed to the religious, cultural, social, and economic history of St. Petersburg.Contributors include: Archpriest V. Fedorov, M. Fundaminski, P.N. Holtrop, B. Jangfeldt, E.E. Knyazeva, N.S. Krylov, T. Magi, A. Must, E. Norberg, P.M. Peucker, K. Rundell, V.M. Shishkin, C.H. Slechte, A.R.

Arminius On The Assurance Of Salvation - The Context, Roots, And Shape Of The Leiden Debate, 1603-1609

de Keith Stanglin

237,18€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Although scholarship has treated, on the one hand, some aspects of Jacobus Arminius's theology, and on the other hand, the doctrine of assurance in the Reformed theologians of early Protestant orthodoxy, nevertheless proper attention has not yet been given to the intersection of these topics: Arminius's doctrine of assurance. With special attention to previously neglected primary sources, this book offers stimulating insights into the academic context of Arminius, and, along with a comparative analysis of his colleagues at Leiden University, explores new horizons in his doctrines of salvation and assurance. Arminius's search for true assurance of salvation emerges as a decisive factor in his famous dissent from Reformed theology.

Abraham Kuyper'S Commentatio (1860): The Young Kuyper About Calvin, A Lasco, And The Church (2 Vols.) - I: Introduction, Annotations, Bibliography, And Indices / Ii: Commentatio

222,60€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In the Commentatio the 22-year-old Kuyper not only describes Calvin's and a Lasco's concepts of the Church, but also discusses them in the light of the Gospel. The Commentatio marks the beginning of modern a Lasco studies. The work also offers the initial impetus for the idea with which Kuyper would later exert great influence on Dutch nation and society: the Church as a free, democratic society of Christians, which manifests itself as a living organism in all spheres of life. The text, which has never been published before, is accompanied by historical and philological introductions, annotations, and comprehensive registers, and throws surprising new light on the origins of Kuyper's ideas. Moreover, this source edition is important for the study of nineteenth-century Reformation research.

Reformed Orthodoxy And Philosophy, 1625-1750 - Gisbertus Voetius, Petrus Van Mastricht, And Anthonius Driessen

de Aza Goudriaan

222,60€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book examines the thinking of several Reformed theologians on theological issues that are, historically or by content, related to philosophy.Three Dutch authors from successive generations are considered in particular: Gisbertus Voetius (1589-1676), Petrus van Mastricht (1630-1706), and Anthonius Driessen (1684-1748). A diversity of issues in Christian doctrine is discussed. These include the relationship between theology and philosophy, creation, Divine providence, the human being, and Divine and natural law. By reconstructing the views of these three theologians, this book highlights similarities and differences within Reformed orthodoxy, both in doctrine and in relation to philosophy. The changes that thus become visible also suggest that biblical Christianity outlives the philosophical apparatus by whose assistence it is explained.

Dialogues Of The Dead Of The Early German Enlightenment

de Riccarda Suitner

213,33€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 For the first time, this book reconstructs the fascinating story of a series of anonymous "dialogues of the dead" published in Germany in the early eighteenth century. The texts stage fictional debates between some of the most famous thinkers of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, such as Descartes, Leibniz, Thomasius and Bekker. The dialogues were originally published as cheap prints and very few copies now survive; until today the links between these texts and the very existence of this textual corpus have remained unknown. Starting from the little reliable information available, Riccarda Suitner conducts an exciting investigation of the authors, production, illustrations, circulation and plagiarism of these texts in the intellectual world of the early eighteenth century, proposing a new image of the German Enlightenment. The German edition of this book was awarded the prestigious Geisteswissenschaften international prize.

Eclipse Of Liberal Protestantism In The Netherlands - Religious, Social, And International Perspectives On The Dutch Modernist Movement (1870-1940)

de Tom-Eric Krijger

363,05€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In The Eclipse of Liberal Protestantism in the Netherlands, Tom-Eric Krijger is the first to offer a synthesis of the development of the Protestant modernist movement in Dutch religious, social, cultural, and political life between 1870 and 1940. In historiography, the liberal Protestant community is said to have lost appeal and influence in these decades due to a lack of theological clarity, inner harmony, and organisation. Analysing liberal Protestants' self-perception vis-a-vis Christian orthodoxy, self-understanding as a faith community, attitude towards other alternatives to orthodoxy, class-consciousness, literary criticism, political commitment, and involvement with foreign mission, Krijger challenges this view. Making an international comparison, he argues that the Dutch modernist movement failed to make headway primarily due to liberal Protestant expectations and discourse.

Nicodemism And The English Calvin, 1544-1584

de Kenneth J. Woo

213,33€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Nicodemism and the English Calvin Kenneth J. Woo reassesses John Calvin's decades-long attack against Nicodemism, which Calvin described as evangelicals playing Catholic to avoid hardship or persecution. Frequently portrayed as a static argument varying little over time, the reformer's anti-Nicodemite polemic actually was adapted to shifting contexts and diverse audiences. Calvin's strategic approach to Nicodemism was not lost on readers, influencing its reception in England. Quatre sermons (1552) presents Calvin's anti-Nicodemism in the only sermons he personally prepared for publication. By setting this work in its original context and examining its reception in five sixteenth-century English editions, Woo demonstrates how Calvin and others deployed his rhetoric against Nicodemism to address concerns having little to do with religious dissimulation.

 Lay prophets in Lutheran Europe (c. 1550-1700) is the first transnational study of the phenomenon of angelic apparitions in all Lutheran cultures of early modern Europe. Jurgen Beyer provides evidence for more than 350 cases and analyses the material in various ways: tracing the medieval origins, studying the spread of news about prophets, looking at the performances legitimising their calling, noting their comments on local politics, following the theological debates about prophets, and interpreting the early modern notions of holiness within which prophets operated. A full chronology and bibliography of all cases concludes the volume. Beyer demonstrates that lay prophets were an accepted part of Lutheran culture and places them in their social, political and confessional contexts.

Augustine'S Cyprian - Authority In Roman Africa

de Matthew Alan Gaumer

294,15€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Augustine's Cyprian Matthew Gaumer retraces how Augustine of Hippo devised the ultimate strategy to suppress Donatist Christianity, an indigenous form of the religion in ancient North Africa. Spanning nearly forty years, Augustine's entire clerical career was spent combating the Donatists and seeking the dominance of the Catholic Church in North Africa. Through a variety of approaches Augustine evolved a method to successfully outlaw and deconstruct the Donatist Church's organisation. This hinged on concerted preaching, tract writing, integrating Roman imperial authorities, and critically: by denying the Donatists' exclusive claim to Cyprian of Carthage. Re-appropriation of Cyprian's authority required Augustine and his allies to re-write history and pose positions contrary to Cyprian's. In the end, Cyprian was the Donatists' no longer.

 Throughout the history of mankind religion has been a creative and innovative factor of great strength, able to change societies, create new cultures, and shape strong identities. In Religion as an Agent of Change leading historians and Church historians discuss religion as a driving force in historical development on the basis of three particular cases from the history of Christianity in Western Europe: the Crusades, the Reformation, and Pietism. The empirical case studies in the book present important results and viewpoints from new research in these three historical phenomena, to a large degree undertaken in our own generation, thus establishing a solid foundation for further scholarly discussions about the role of the Christian religion as a driving force in history.Contributors are: Arne Bugge Amundsen, Ole Peter Grell, Martin H.
