The idea that God became incarnate as a human is a doctrine at the core of historic Christianity. Defined by the Great Councils and Creeds of the Christian church, the study of this doctrine, christology, has been a focus of inquiry for two millennia. This Companion reflects the most recent paths of inquiry for our understanding of christology. Covering Biblical and other sources, it explores the reception of christology over the course of Christianity's history, from the early patristic ages to postmodernity, as well Jewish and Islamic treatments of the christological claims. The volume also considers the recent contributions of systematic theology, metaphysics, and political theology to the study of christology. It demonstrates how the conceptual substance of christological doctrine interacts with a range of areas on the intellectual landscape. Designed for use by students and experts,&nbsp;The Cambridge Companion to Christology&nbsp;also points to the new and dynamic directions in scholarship on this topic.

This Companion offers a comprehensive overview&nbsp;of&nbsp;the history, nature, and legacy of biblical law.&nbsp; Examining the debates that swirl around the nature of biblical law, it explores its historical context, the significance of its rules, and its influence on early Judaism and Christianity. The volume also interrogates key questions: Were&nbsp;the&nbsp;rules intended to function as ancient Israel's statutory law? Is there evidence to indicate that they served a different purpose? What is the relationship between&nbsp;this&nbsp;legal material and other parts of the Hebrew Bible? Most importantly, the book provides an in-depth look at the content of the Torah's laws, with individual essays on substantive, procedural, and ritual law. With contributions from an international team of experts, written specially for this volume,&nbsp;The Cambridge Companion to&nbsp;Law in the Hebrew Bible&nbsp;provides an up-to-date look at scholarship on biblical law and outlines themes and topics for future research.

Athena's Sisters transforms our understanding of Classical Athenian culture and society by approaching its institutions-kinship, slavery, the economy, social organisation-from women's perspectives. It argues that texts on dedications and tombstones set up by women were frequently authored by those women. This significant body of women's writing offers direct insights into their experiences, values, and emotions. With men often absent, women redefined the boundaries of the family in dialogue with patriarchal legal frameworks. Beyond male social and political structures, women defined their identities and relationships through their own institutions. By focusing on women's engagement with other women, rather than their relationships to men, this timely and necessary book reveals the richness and dynamism of women's lives and their remarkable capacity to shape Athenian society and history.

A Sunday Times Book of the Year A Press Association Book of the Year 'Beautifully written, you will be drawn into the claustrophobic world of the mere, where sinners fear the retribution of both God and the devil' - Laura Shepherd-Robinson, bestselling author of The Square of Sevens 'Haunting and beautiful . . . Even in Mere's brutality, there is a rare tenderness to be found' - Lucy Rose, bestselling author of The Lamb Norfolk, AD 990. Deep in the Fens, an order of holy sisters lives in quiet isolation, cut off from the outside world by a treacherous marsh known as the mere. Convent healer Hilda and her fellow nuns follow God's path under the steely guidance of their abbess. But when a young servant boy goes missing in the marsh, rumour and division spread like wildfire through the community and the abbess's grip falters. Where is the boy? Who took him? Why can he not be found? Then, newly arrived Sister Wulfrun has a vision: a curse is upon them and change must be brought. As the convent is swept up in a fight for its very survival, Hilda finds herself caught in her own battle between her conscience and her growing feelings for the enigmatic Wulfrun . . .

The shocking true story of the German monarchy's collaboration with the Nazis - an award-winning bestseller in Germany **AWARDED THE GERMAN NON-FICTION PRIZE 2022** 'Malinowksi's work is a near-masterpiece, relating a story not synthesised in this way before, and about which any number of self-serving myths exist' Simon Heffer, Daily Telegraph The disappearance of the Hohenzollern family from the history of Germany in November 1918 as the Kaiser fled into Dutch exile is one of the most startling, rapid instances of a once all-powerful royal family becoming almost overnight irrelevant and marginal. Except this is not exactly what happened. Stephan Malinowski's German bestseller is an extraordinary work of recovery. It suited both the Weimar Republic and then the Third Reich to view the Hohenzollerns with contempt, and yet the royal family's hatred of the former and approval of the latter were for millions of Germans a significant factor in their own view of their country and its government. With forensic and often shocking detail, Malinowski shows that, far from being ridiculous, marginal figures the Hohenzollerns lay at the heart of Germany's ongoing nightmare. Despite formally losing power, the members of the royal family remained prominent, catastrophically allowing many other conservative Germans to stay distanced from the new republic and to eventually betray conservative traditions and values. Battered from both left and right, the Republic collapsed in 1933 in part because conservative forces, fearful of both Communism and Fascism, had abandoned their own principles just as much as the leading members of former royal family had, who were themselves beguiled by and fooled by Hitler. This is an important and shocking book, as well as a devastating picture of an inadequate and trivial royal family painfully underequipped to fulfil its role.

'Brilliant... I loved it.' Santa Montefiore A FORGOTTEN EGYPTIAN GODDESS. A FAMILY IN DANGER. Victorian Egyptologist Clemmie's dark talents have torn her family apart. Now she has one chance to atone for the past. Clemmie's gift for reading hieroglyphs shines at the Egyptian relic parties which have made her father the toast of Victorian society. But at one party, the words she interprets from an unusual amulet strike fear into her heart. The childhood game she used to play about the immortal sisters, Isis and Nephthys, takes on a devastating resonance and it is only by following Nephthys' story back to Egypt that she can undo the mistakes of the past. 'An irresistible page-turner' Susan Stokes-Chapman, author Pandora 'An intoxicating tale of adventure and obsession' Emilia Hart, author of Weyward 'A joy of a book' Fiza Saeed McLynn, author of The Midnight Carousel *SHORTLISTED FOR THE HWA DEBUT CROWN AWARD* Readers ADORE Nephthys: 'A total page-turner! ... Wow! What darkness this book holds!' 'Unique and gripping.... this tale of Egypt and England was full of twists and turns.' 'A captivating blend of Victorian society, ancient Egypt, and dark secrets.'

The Renaissance is one of the most studied and celebrated eras of history. Spanning the end of the Middle Ages to the beginning of modernity, it has come to symbolise the transformative rebirth of knowledge, art, culture and political thought in Europe. And for the last two hundred years, historians have struggled to describe what makes this famous golden age unique. In Inventing the Renaissance, acclaimed historian Ada Palmer provides a fresh perspective on what makes this epoch so captivating. Her witty and irreverent journey through the fantasies historians have constructed about the period show how its legend derives more from later centuries' mythmaking than from the often grim reality of the period itself. She examines its defining figures and movements: the enduring legacy of Niccolò Machiavelli, the rediscovery of the classics, the rise of the Medici and fall of the Borgias, the astonishing artistic achievements of Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Cellini, the impact of the Inquisition and the expansion of secular Humanism. Palmer also explores the ties between culture and money: books, for example, could cost as much as grand houses, so the period's innovative thinkers could only thrive with the help of the super-rich. She offers fifteen provocative and entertaining character portraits of Renaissance men and women, some famous, some obscure, whose intersecting lives show how the real Renaissance was more unexpected, more international and, above all, more desperate than its golden reputation suggests. Drawing on her popular blogs and writing with her characteristic energy and wit, Palmer presents the Renaissance as we have never seen it before. Colloquial, funny and brilliant, you would never expect a work of deep scholarship to make you alternately laugh and cry.

This is the story of the fall of an Empire - and the rise of another. Who spread Christianity, how, and why? In her quest to find the answer,&nbsp;Professor Alice Roberts takes us on a gripping investigative journey. From a secluded valley in south Wales to the shores of Brittany; from the heart of the Roman Empire in a time of political turmoil to the ancient city of Corinth in the footsteps of the apostle Paul; from Alexandria in the fourth century to Constantinople. As the Roman Empire crumbled in Western Europe, a shadow of power remained, almost perfectly mapping onto its disappearing territories. And then, it continued to spread. Unearthing the archaeological clues and challenging long-established histories, Professor Roberts tells a remarkable story about the relationship between the Roman Empire and Christianity. Lifting the veil on secrets that have been hidden in plain sight, this story is nothing short of astonishing. Domination&nbsp;is a page-turning exploration of power and its survival.

Domination

Geschichte der Sächsischen Franziskanerprovinz

Brill | Schöningh

Dieser Band erschließt das von erhöhter Geltung franziskanischer Spiritualität gekennzeichnete Wirken der Franziskaner, Klarissen und Tertiarinnen der Saxonia im Transformationsprozess des Christentums und der Gesellschaft zwischen Mittelalter und Moderne.
 

 Der einleitende Beitrag begründet Anliegen und Struktur des gesamten fünfbändigen Handbuch-Projekts und entwirft aus der Wissenschafts- und Ordensgeschichte Wege künftiger Franziskanerforschung. Weitere Beiträge entfalten aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven den Platz der franziskanischen Theologen in den Reformdiskursen der Kirche, die institutionelle Ausformung der nach Westen verschobenen Ordensprovinz, die Bedeutung der Seelsorge und Liturgie sowie der Frömmigkeit, den intensivierten Studienbetrieb und das Schul- und Bildungswesen. Über politische Brüche hinweg trugen die franziskanisch inspirierte Mobilität sowie eine neue Buch- und Medienkultur die innere Vereinheitlichung der Konvente der Saxonia und die grenzübergreifende Kommunikation der vita franciscana.

Westverlagerung und neue Entfaltung in Zeiten der Konfessionalisierung (16.-19. Jahrhundert)

The Supreme Gift

This book considers Section 21 of the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act 1857 and its significant impact on previously invisible married women in the 19th century.

Tens of thousands of women used this little-known section of the Act to apply for orders from local magistrates' courts to reclaim their rights of testation, inheritance, property ownership, and (dependent on local franchise qualifications) ability to vote. By examining the orders that were made and considering the women who applied for them, the book challenges the mistaken belief that Victorian England and Wales were nations of married, cohabiting couples. 

The detailed statistical analysis and rich case studies presented here provide a totally new perspective on the legal status and experiences of married women in England and Wales. Although many thousands of orders were granted between 1858 and 1900, their details remain unknown and unexamined, primarily because census records did not consistently record dissolved marriages and there is no central index of applications made.

Using sources including court records, parliamentary papers, newspaper reports, census returns, probate records and trade directories, this book reconstructs the successful - and unsuccessful - experiences of women applying to magistrates' courts and the Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes to protect their assets across regions and decades.

'A beguiling portrait... reminds us that, ideologically and culturally, Morès anticipates the tragedies of the 20th century, and also those of today' The Times One of the most anticipated books of the year according to Financial Times and New Statesman The extraordinary story of the nineteenth-century French-Italian aristocrat Marquis de Morès, the father of fascism, and his ominous legacy In nineteenth-century France, the first fascist was born. Decades before Mussolini, the Marquis de Morès became the first populist and openly antisemitic leader in the Western world. A key figure behind the Dreyfus affair, he tore France apart with his inflammatory media rhetoric and violent stunts. Who was this man, who both anticipated and propelled the fascist politics that erupted in the twentieth century? Drawing on a wealth of original sources, award-winning historian Sergio Luzzatto explores the forgotten story of a father of fascism. He shows how, after losing aristocratic status in modern, democratic France, Morès led an adventurous life cattle ranching on the American frontier and building a railway in the jungles of Indochina - yet found all his schemes dogged by failure. He follows in Morès's footsteps, as, blaming supposed Jewish machinations for his defeats, he returned to France and soon controlled a large, violent militia of disgruntled workers. Even when his rapid political rise was torpedoed by a highly publicized financial scandal, his shadow continued to loom. In Vichy France, as Jewish people were being deported to Auschwitz, officials would gather to celebrate Morès's memory. Vivid and unsettling, The First Fascist is an engrossing exploration of the roots of our present discontent.
