Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Manolis Papoutsakis untersucht das Konzept des "stellvertretenden Koenigtums", einem Motiv der politischen Theologie im Syrien der Spaetantike. Obwohl die Vorstellung, dass der Machthaber auf Erden als Stellvertreter Gottes im Himmel diente, keine Erfindung der altsyrischen Schriftgelehrten war, scheint es, als ob die altsyrischen Dichter und Homiletiker innerhalb der christlichen Traditionen die ersten waren, die zwischen dem vierten und dem sechsten Jahrhundert (dem Zeitraum, der in diesem Band abgedeckt wird) das "stellvertretende Koenigtum" in ein vorsichtig durchdachtes und konsistentes eschatologisches Schema brachten. Diese Gelehrten verarbeiteten das kaiserliche Amt, indem sie biblische Erzaehlungen darauf bezogen, kommentierten und dadurch traditionelle Redensarten beeinflussten. Erst nachdem man ihre schriftliche Bearbeitung der Bibel sorgfaeltig geprueft und ihren Wortschatz genau verstanden hat, koennen ihre Gedanken rekonstruiert und ihre Kompositionen gewuerdigt werden. Fruehe altsyrische Schriften koennen somit vielleicht Antworten auf Fragen in Fachgebieten liefern, die weit ueber das Altsyrische hinausgehen. In Late Antiquity, the biblical text served as the fundamental source of reference for Syriac intellectuals in their thinking about political power. Manolis Papoutsakis takes this point seriously and explains in detail the different exegetical steps by which certain attitudes to imperial power were reached.

Smith -- XVII Gemistus Plethon and Platonic Political Philosophy by Peter Garnsey. - This book focuses on a simple dynamic: the taking in hand of a heritage, the variety of changes induced within it, and the handing on of that legacy to new generations, Our contributors suggest, from different standpoints, that this dynamic represented the essence oflate antiquity. As Roman society, and the societies by which it was immediately bounded, continued to develop, through to the late sixth and early seventh centuries, the interplay between what needed to be treasured and what needed to be explored became increasingly self-conscious, versatile, and enriched. By the time formerly alien peoples had established their post-classical polities, and Islam began to stir in the East, the novelties were more clearly seen, if not always welcomed; and one witnesses a stronger will to maintain the momentum of change, of a forward reach. At the same time, those in a position to play now the role of heirs were well able to appreciate how suited to their needs the Roman past might be, but how, by taking it up in their turn, they were more securely defined and yet more creatively advantaged. Transformation is a notion apposite to essays in honour of Peter Brown. The transformation of the classical heritage is a theme to which he has devoted, and continues to devote, much energy. All the essays here in some way explore this notion of transformation; the late antique ability to turn the past to new uses, and to set its wealth of principle and insight to work in new settings. To begin, there is the very notion of what it meant to be Roman, and how that notion changed. Subsequent chapters suggest ways in which fundamental characteristics of Roman society were given new form, not least under the impact of a Christian polity. Augustine, naturally, finds his place; and here the emphasis is on the unfettered stance that he took in the face of more broadly held convictions - on miracles, for example, and the errors of the pagan past. The discussion then moves on to examine the very definition of what a Christian culture should loo.
