Early Scholastic Christology 1050-1250 - Richard Cross - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Early Scholastic Christology 1050-1250 - Richard Cross - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book traces developments in Christology--and specifically the metaphysics of the union of divine and human natures in one person--from 1050 (the age of Anselm of Canterbury) to 1250 (the age of Albert the Great). During the first part of the period, the key issue is the conflict between Augustine''s homo assumptus (assumed man) Christology, defended by the Victorines, and that of Boethius''s Chalcedonian Christology, defended by Gilbert of Poitiers (sometimes known as the ''subsistence'' theory). By 1180, the latter of these was almost universally accepted. A third view, apparently accepted by Peter Lombard among others, according to which it is not true that Christ as man is something--the non-aliquid Christology--was condemned in 1177.The second part of the book traces the way in which theologians attempted to develop the presentation of Conciliar Christology by working out inchoate solutions to some of the metaphysical questions that the issue raises: what is the nature of the hypostatic union between the two natures, or the human nature and the divine person--is it something created, or something uncreated? And, given that the human nature is a particular substance, what prevents it from being a person? Theologians used insights from both of the rejected theories (the homo assumptus Christology and the non-aliquid Christology) in attempting to answer these issues.The early thirteenth century saw both the founding of the universities of Paris and Oxford, and the founding of the Franciscan and Dominican orders. The book explores the impact of these religious identities on the formation of Christological teaching.

Writing Sin in the German Lands, 1050–1215 - Sarah Bowden - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Writing Sin in the German Lands, 1050–1215 - Sarah Bowden - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Writing Sin in the German Lands, 1050–1215 is about how sin and atonement function as an impetus for textual production and formal, linguistic, and intellectual creativity. It focuses on the late eleventh and twelfth centuries, a time in which various social and cultural conditions came together to provoke both an interest in sin and an opportunity for writing experimentally about it, and its area of enquiry is the German-speaking world. Working with a remarkably rich body of German-language texts, this book allows us not only to grasp with greater clarity aspects of medieval penitential thought and practice, but it also offers new ways of thinking about the development of German as a literary language. The book joins bodies of work on the history of penance and on devotional writing in the European vernaculars, and through the interconnection of these two fields of study, it offers a new perspective on questions that currently occupy scholars of the Middle Ages: the medieval conception of the self in relation to other and to God; the value and function of vernacular writing; the nature of textuality; and the relationship between writing, speech, material text, and performance. In five chapters that deal with a wide range of texts, many of which have had little scholarly attention, this volume shows that the long twelfth century was not only a period in which there was a particular interest in exploring aspects of the theology and practice of penance, but also, significantly, a time in which a fundamental connection can be seen between thinking about sin and creative literary production.

Collected Plays: Volume 2 - Wole Soyinka - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Collected Plays: Volume 2 - Wole Soyinka - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

`The Lion and the Jewel alone is enough to establish Nigeria as the most fertile new source of English-speaking drama since Synge''s discovery of the Western Isles.'' The TimesThe ironic development and consequences of `progress'' may be traced through both the themes and the tone of the works included in this second volume of Wole Soyinka''s plays. The Lion and the Jewel shows an ineffectual assault on past tradition soundly defeated. In Kongi''s Harvest, however, the pretensions of Kongi''s regime are also fatal. The denouement points the way forward. The two Brother Jero plays pursue that way, the comic `propheteering'' of the earlier play giving way to the sardonic reality of Jero''s Metamorphosis. Madmen and Specialists, Soyinka''s most pessimistic play, concerns the physical, mental, and moral destruction of modern civil war.

Life in Early Medieval Wales - Prof Nancy Edwards - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Life in Early Medieval Wales - Prof Nancy Edwards - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Research for and the writing of this book was funded by the award of a Leverhulme Trust Major Research Fellowship.The period c. AD300--1050, spanning the collapse of Roman rule to the coming of the Normans, was formative in the development of Wales. Life in Early Medieval Wales considers how people lived in late Roman and early medieval Wales, and how their lives and communities changed over the course of this period. It uses a multidisciplinary approach, focusing on the growing body of archaeological evidence set alongside the early medieval written sources together with place-names and personal names. It begins by analysing earlier research and the range of sources, the significance of the environment and climate change, and ways of calculating time. Discussion of the fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries focuses on the disintegration of the Roman market economy, fragmentation of power, and the emergence of new kingdoms and elites alongside evidence for changing identities, as well as important threads of continuity, notably Latin literacy, Christianity, and the continuation of small-scale farming communities. Early medieval Wales was an entirely rural society. Analysis of the settlement archaeology includes key sites such as hillforts, including Dinas Powys, the royal crannog at Llangorse, and the Viking Age and earlier estate centre at Llanbedrgoch alongside the development, from the seventh century onwards, of new farming and other rural settlements. Consideration is given to changes in the mixed farming economy reflecting climate deterioration and a need for food security, as well as craft working and the roles of exchange, display, and trade reflecting changing outside contacts. At the same time cemeteries and inscribed stones, stone sculpture and early church sites chart the course of conversion to Christianity, the rise of monasticism, and the increasing power of the Church. Finally, discussion of power and authority analyses emerging evidence for sites of assembly, the rise of Mercia, and increasing English infiltration, together with the significance of Offa''s and Wat''s Dykes, and the Viking impact. Throughout the evidence is placed within a wider context enabling comparison with other parts of Britain and Ireland and, where appropriate, with other parts of Europe to see broader trends, including the impacts of climate, economic, and religious change.
