Guillaume P: Land, Credit and Crisis

Land, Credit and Crisis

Agrarian Finance in the Hebrew Bible

Introduction Part I: Land 1. Land Tenure 2. Communal Land 3. The Myth of the Helpless Peasant 4. New Perspectives on Land Passages Part II: Credit 5. Agricultural Credit 6. Debt and Patronage 7. Debt in the Bible Part III: No Crisis in Yehud 8. Life in Yehud 9. Financing Production and Commerce General Conclusion

Across 12 Decades, Shaping Business IntelligenceThe marketplace is, in many ways, a modern Game of Thrones, being complex, strategic, and relentless. Beneath its surface runs a woven code. Here, merchants exchange not only products but messages, but also coded messages, and decoding them is essential for strategic and profitable business foresight.The author who decodes these messages has 38 years' international experience in business and academia, with supplementary insight shaped by twelve decades of a family enterprise.The insights of decoding are not always immediate, and occasionally, they surface only after years of patient observation and prayerful alignment. If a businessperson is not aware of the existence of these codes, how can the individual attempt to climb to the top of Mount Everest? Decoding aids us to interpret that which we fail to comprehend or even to bring adequate language to our emotions and experiences. Through a quiet signature art of 'code-as-stealth', the narrative listens beneath the noise, revealing how faith and grace carry an unseen authority capable of restoring trade. The effectiveness of stealth technology lies in the meticulous coordination of components and aerodynamic principles. A single wing - like a standalone paragraph - or even a wing and a tail - a paragraph plus a chapter - does not make a stealth aircraft. True stealth comes from the integration of all components, perfectly aligned in the correct sequence and position. The meticulous attention to sequencing and positioning in narration represents the book's use of stealth, which helps drive the momentum of both the code and the decoding process. The uniqueness of 'code-as-stealth' is that it is birthed in originality, skill and experience: Ai has no role. The book offers grounded counsel for resisting bloated systems and borrowed formulas in the marketplace, rooting enterprise instead in covenant, conscience, and calling. Here, business is reimagined, not as a field of turmoil, but as a sanctuary of grace, where foresight becomes stewardship and profit flows as a shared blessing.

Decoding the Marketplace

'Offers fascinating insights into women's worlds and desires in Greco-Roman antiquity and beyond.' Emily Hauser, Sunday Times bestselling author of Mythica'A wonderfully witty and insightful look at attitudes towards female sexual pleasure in Ancient Greece and Rome... Truly fabulous.' Elodie Harper, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Wolf Den trilogy'An eye-opening and joyful read.' Jennifer Saint, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ariadne ***Was Ovid a surprising champion of women's sexual pleasure? Or did he just want them to fake it? Where did the British Museum curators hide the most pornographic of frescoes? And what exactly was the phallic wooden object excavated in 90's Northumberland?In APHRODISIA, Dr Jean Menzies dives into the hidden history of women's sexuality in Ancient Greece and Rome. The classical world stretched across the Mediterranean for more than a millennium, its people and cultures wide and varied and its sexual proclivities equally so. Yet so often when we read about sex in antiquity it is about the men folk first and foremost: which brothels they were visiting, how they balanced wives and lovers, and what they got up to in the gymnasium. Delving into the literature, art and artefacts of the ancient world, from sex toys to seduction tips to kink, Dr Jean Menzies instead centres women and their desire. In doing so, she uncovers the many faces of women's sexuality over the course of thousands of years, and asks intriguing, and sometimes provocative questions about women, sex and desire today.***'Finally! An up close and personal look at ancient women's sex lives that doesn't treat them simply as a source of scurrilous gossip, but rather as a subject worthy of care and respect.' Dr Jane Draycott, author of Fulvia and Cleopatra's Daughter'Aphrodisia is a magnanimous triumph for the study of women in antiquity; Jean's ability to communicate this information in a witty and down-to-earth way makes this a necessary read for all people interested in sexuality and desire.' Erica Stevenson, author of The Odyssey Effect

Women, Sex and Pleasure in the Classical World

Aphrodisia

Routledge Studies in the History of Economics

This book examines the medieval debate on the role of money and credit in the Islamic and Western Christian worlds.Starting from Aristotle's vision of the ethical and egalitarian use of wealth, fundamental to both Islamic and Christian thinkers, it highlights how the two visions of money and credit share a strong ethical-religious foundation. However, thinking on monetary and credit matters in the Western Christian and Islamic worlds has developed differently, partly due to the different evolution of the two economic systems. In Islamic economic thought, particular attention has been paid to the prohibition of paying interest on loans, the main basis for which lies in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. This has had interesting repercussions both on the development of the socio-economic system and on theoretical thinking. In the Western Christian world, too, this prohibition was based on ethical and religious grounds. Taking an Aristotelian perspective, the writings of the Thomists and the Franciscan and Augustinian schools reiterated the need for an ethical assessment of credit and interest. This resulted in a significant contribution to the process of secularization of economic science and valuable theoretical support for important institutional developments.This book will be of great interest to readers of Islamic and Christian ethics, the history of money and, more generally, the history of economic thought.

The Medieval Debate on Money and Interest

Schleiermacher-Archiv

Friedrich Schleiermachers christliche Sittenlehre wird vielfach als Kulturtheorie gedeutet, zumal alle wesentlichen Lebensbereiche im Bezug zum Christentum untersucht werden. Dabei geht Schleiermacher äußerst systematisch vor: So beruht seine Kulturtheorie des Christentums auf einem handlungstheoretischen Fundament (und ist nach drei Typen des Handelns unterteilt). Folglich finden sich reichlich Material und zugleich Begrifflichkeiten sowie systematische Zusammenhänge zur weiteren Reflexion und Erforschung. Mithin beschäftigen sich viele Beiträge des Bandes mit Interpretationen der christlichen Sittenlehre - auch vor dem Hintergrund der weiteren Entwicklung der Moderne.
Dass Schleiermachers theologische Ethik es wert ist, aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln erneut interpretiert zu werden, rechtfertigt die Entstehung einer neuen Edition. 1843 hatte sein Schüler Ludwig Jonas eine verdienstvolle, aber nach heutigen Editionsstandards nicht mehr geeignete Publikation der Vorlesungsmanuskripte Schleiermachers und der studentischen Nachschriften in kompilierter Form herausgegeben. In Zukunft werden die Manuskripte und alle überlieferten studentischen Nachschriften digital und historisch-kritisch erfasst zugänglich sein. Überlegungen zur neuen Edition eröffnen daher den Band.
Da Schleiermacher mehrere Disziplinen in einem systematischen Zusammenhang beforschte und unterrichtete, sind viele Anhaltspunkte für Kontextualisierungen gegeben. Einige der Aufsätze stellen die christliche Sittenlehre mit anderen Disziplinen aus Schleiermachers Werk ins Verhältnis, andere gehen darüber hinaus und stellen auch einen Bezug zu aktuellen Themen her.&nbsp;

'A book that's rich with meticulous scholarship, illuminated by sharp wit, and full of subtle judgment. Babylon is quite simply enthralling' ¿¿¿¿¿ TELEGRAPH 'Intimate and immensely detailed. I've never encountered a work of ancient history so finely drawn' THE TIMES 'Rollicking story of a city with a biblically bad reputation . . . highly readable' LONDON STANDARD 'One of our greatest scholars of the ancient world . . . a remarkable feat of urban resurrection' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE'Compelling and authoritative . . . an exhilarating portrait of one of the world's greatest cities' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE'A masterpiece' TRISTAN HUGHES ______________ Babylon often appears more myth than history. Purportedly the site of the Hanging Gardens and the Tower of Babel, its infamous presence in the Bible has made it a byword for sinful decadence. But Babylon was a real place teeming with life, a bustling mega-city on the Euphrates where schoolteachers, artisans, priests, slaves, prostitutes and soldiers rubbed shoulders in maze-like streets and busy marketplaces.The city was home to some extraordinary rulers, from Hammurabi the great lawgiver to Nebuchadnezzar II, the conqueror-king, under whose reign the city glistened in gold and lapis lazuli.In Babylon, Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones brings the city vividly to life, tracing its foundation through to its world domination, and subsequent decline, fall and ruin into dust. From ribald drinking songs to acerbic letters between rival kings, the extraordinary ancient sources help inform what is both a stunning work of scholarship and a fascinating evocation of a long-lost world.More praise for BABYLON:'Engrossing and informative' DR. ERIC H. CLINE 'Sweeps you up and carries you off like the River Tigris itself!' IRVING FINKEL'Babylon is brought brilliantly to life . . . highly engaging' BUZZ MAGAZINE

In The Confessions of Saint Augustine (c. 400 CE), Saint Augustine reveals in brutally honest details the agonizing process of maturation from a worldly and sinful young man to the great advocate for Christianity and virtue he would become.Saint Augustine of Hippo is now remembered as one of the great Christian philosophers of history, with his many works contributing significantly to concepts like theological anthropology, eschatology, and original sin. He was not, however, always such a pious and introspective man. Moving beyond his personal faults, Augustine also delves into what he sees as the central pitfalls of the Christian doctrine of his time, especially the reliance on institutional guidance over introspective reflection.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
