Gr.-8°, Brosch. X, 378 S. Neubuch / New Copy // Wie wurde die Nachricht von der Erlösung Christi aufgenommen? Antigone Samellas untersucht den griechischen und jüdischen Einfluß auf die griechische Eschatologie und sucht nach den hellenistischen Wurzeln der christlichen Trostphilosophie. Dabei ist von Interesse, in welchem Maße die neue Religion die existierenden Einstellungen zum Tod und die gebräuchlichen Funktionen der Trauer und Gedenkrituale beeinflußt hat. Ferner arbeitet die Autorin heraus, welche Aspekte des Christentums attraktiv und welche abstoßend für Heiden und Juden waren. ISBN: 9783161476686 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 591.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is a comprehensive study of the experience of alienation in its many and inter-related manifestations as attested in the late-antique East. It situates Christianity's enduring legacy in its early historical context and explores the way estrangement from all worldly attributes was elevated to the status of a cardinal religious virtue. The author analyzes the reasons for the new faith's concern for the marginalized and shows the contemporary relevance of social utopia as an antidote to alienation. Christianity's contradictions are also examined as, in opposing the existing legal order, the followers of the monotheistic religion inadvertently supported the violence of the imperial authority and its laws. Further, the study focuses on the existentialist and psychological dimensions of time-honoured metaphors, such as 'Life is a theatre' and 'Dead to the world', and investigates mental illness in late antiquity. Finally, the early origins of the modern concept of the self are traced back to the ideological transformations that marked the slow transition from antiquity to the middle ages.…
