Augustine and the Disciplines takes its cue from Augustine''s theory of the liberal arts to explore the larger question of how the Bible became the focus of medieval culture in the West. Augustine himself became increasingly aware that an ambivalent attitude towards knowledge and learning was inherent in Christianity. By facing the intellectual challenge posed by this tension he arrived at a new theory of how to interpret the Bible correctly. The topicsinvestigated here include: Augustine''s changing relationship with the ''disciplines'', as he moved from an attempt at their Christianization (in the philosophical dialogues of Cassiciacum) to a radical reshaping of them within a Christian world-view (in the De Doctrina Christiana and Confessiones); the factors thatprompted and facilitated his change of perspective; and the ways in which Augustine''s evolving theory reflected contemporary trends in Christian pedagogy.

It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.With the rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire increasing numbers of educated people converted to this new belief. As Christianity did not have its own educational institutions the issue of how to harmonize pagan education and Christian convictions became increasingly pressing. Especially classical poetry, the staple diet of pagan education, was considered to be morally corrupting (due to its deceitful mythological content) and damaging for the salvation of the soul (because of the falsegods it advocated). But Christianity recoiled from an unqualified anti-intellectual attitude, while at the same time the experiment of creating an idiosyncratic form of genuinely Christian poetry failed (the sole exception being the poet Commodianus). In The Baptized Muse: Early Christian Poetry asCultural Authority, Karla Pollmann argues that, instead, Christian poets made creative use of the classical literary tradition, and—in addition to blending it with Judaeo-Christian biblical exegesis—exploited poetry''s special ability of enhancing communicative effectiveness and impact through aesthetic means. Pollman explores these strategies through a close analysis of a wide range of Christian, and for comparison partly also pagan, writers mainly from the fourth to sixth centuries.She reveals that early Christianity was not a hermetically sealed uniform body, but displays a rich spectrum of possibilities in dealing with the past and a willingness to engage with and adapt the surrounding culture(s), thereby developing diverse and changing responses to historical challenges. Bydemonstrating throughout that authority is a key in understanding the long denigrated and misunderstood early Christian poets, this book reaches the ground-breaking conclusion that early Christian poetry is an art form that gains its justification by adding cultural authority to Christianity. Thus, in a wider sense it engages with the recently developed interdisciplinary scholarly interest in aspects of religion as cultural phenomena.

This collection of essays explores the rhetoric and practices surrounding views on life after death and the end of the world, including the fate of the individual, apocalyptic speculation and hope for cosmological renewal, in a wide range of societies from Ancient Mesopotamia to the Byzantine era.The 42 essays by leading scholars in each field explore the rich spectrum of ways in which eschatological understanding can be expressed, and for which purposes it can be used. Readers will gain new insight into the historical contexts, details, functions and impact of eschatological ideas and imagery in ancient texts and material culture from the twenty-fifth century BCE to the ninth century CE. Traditionally, the study of “eschatology” (and related concepts) has been pursued mainly by scholars of Jewish and Christian scripture. By broadening the disciplinary scope but remaining within the clearly defined geographical milieu of the Mediterranean, this volume enables its readers to note comparisons and contrasts, as well as exchanges of thought and transmission of eschatological ideas across Antiquity. Cross-referencing, high quality illustrations and extensive indexing contribute to a rich resource on a topic of contemporary interest and relevance.Eschatology in Antiquity is aimed at readers from a wide range of academic disciplines, as well as non-specialists including seminary students and religious leaders. The primary audience will comprise researchers in relevant fields including Biblical Studies, Classics and Ancient History, Ancient Philosophy, Ancient Near Eastern Studies, Art History, Late Antiquity, Byzantine Studies and Cultural Studies. Care has been taken to ensure that the essays are accessible to undergraduates and those without specialist knowledge of particular subject areas.

Millennium transcends boundaries – between epochs and regions, and between disciplines. Like the journal Millennium-Jahrbuch, the Millennium-Studien pursues an international, interdisciplinary approach that cuts across historical eras. The editorial and the advisory board represent a broad spectrum of disciplines: contributions from the fields of art and literature are just as well represented as historical, theological and philosophical contributions, and studies on Latin and Greek cultures as well as North African and Near Eastern cultures. In addition to offering a forum for monographs and edited collections on diverse topics, Millennium-Studien publishes commentaries and editions. Publication languages are primarily German and English; French, Italian and Spanish studies may be included.

Patristic Tradition and Intellectual Paradigms in the 17th Century

Die Rezeption der antiken christlichen Literatur im 17. Jahrhundert beschränkte sich nicht auf Theologie oder Dogmatik, sondern die Vielzahl von Genres ist bezeichnend für den Umgang mit patristischen Texten. Anhand ausgewählter Paradigmen (Komparatistik, Enzyklopädie, Bibelhermeneutik, interkonfessioneller Konflikt, Philologie, philosophische Argumentation) begnügen sich die hier versammelten Beiträge nicht mit einer quantitativen Erhebung patristischer Zitate im 17. Jahrhundert, sondern konzentrieren sich auf die Frage, in welcher Weise das gewandelte Verständnis der patristischen Texte mit den veränderten Bedingungen ihrer Lektüre in Zusammenhang steht. Trotz der Fortschritte im Bereich der Gelehrsamkeit im 17. Jahrhundert, sind sowohl eine Bildungskrise als auch Traditionsabbrüche zu verzeichnen. Eine der Folgen ist, daß vor allem Augustin seine im 16. Jh. noch unangefochtene Stellung verlor.
