Book Description
Excerpt from Christian Epigraphy: An Elementary Treatise, With a Collection of Ancient Christian Inscriptions Mainly of Roman Origin My purpose in compiling this Manual of Christian Epigraphy has been to supply students with some general information concerning this important branch of Christian archaeology, and at the same time to provide them with a classified collection of inscriptions which may be useful to them for the illustration of lectures. In forming this collection I have made use principally of Roman inscriptions, as the oldest, the most numerous, and the most important; but I have not omitted to quote here and there inscriptions from other parts of the ancient world. The book being intended specially for educational purposes, and not as a "Corpus Inscriptionum" proper, I have thought it needless to give the bibliography of each inscription, contenting myself with noting whether the inscription quoted still exists or not: in the former case I indicate the place where it is now preserved; in the latter, the source from which the text of it has come down to us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Christians in Caesar’s Household
Author: Michael Flexsenhar III
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271084073
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
In this volume, Michael Flexsenhar III advances the argument that imperial slaves and freedpersons in the Roman Empire were essential to early Christians’ self-conception as a distinct people in the Mediterranean and played a multifaceted role in the making of early Christianity. Scholarship in early Christianity has for centuries viewed Roman emperors’ slaves and freedmen as responsible for ushering Christianity onto the world stage, traditionally using Paul’s allusion to “the saints from Caesar’s household” in Philippians 4:22 as a core literary lens. Merging textual and material evidence with diaspora and memory studies, Flexsenhar expands on this narrative to explore new and more nuanced representations of this group, showing how the long-accepted stories of Christian slaves and freepersons in Caesar’s household should not be taken at face value but should instead be understood within the context of Christian myth- and meaning-making. Flexsenhar analyzes textual and material evidence from the first to the sixth century, spanning Roman Asia, the Aegean rim, Gaul, and the coast of North Africa as well as the imperial capital itself. As a result, this book shows how stories of the emperor’s slaves were integral to key developments in the spread of Christianity, generating origin myths in Rome and establishing a shared history and geography there, differentiating and negotiating assimilation with other groups, and expressing commemorative language, ritual acts, and a material culture. With its thoughtful critical readings of literary and material sources and its fresh analysis of the lived experiences of imperial slaves and freedpersons, Christians in Caesar’s Household is indispensable reading for scholars of early Christianity, the origins of religion, and the Roman Empire.

Christian Origins and the Ancient Economy
Author: David A Fiensy
Publisher: James Clarke & Company
ISBN: 0227902866
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
What does economics have to do with Christian origins? Why study such a connection? First of all, the New Testament makes many direct references to economic issues. But, second of all, the economy affects every other aspect of life (family, religion, community, work, health, and politics). How prosperous was first-century Galilee? To understand what it was like to live in a society, one must understand its economy. The study of the economy includes not only the goods and services of the society but also human labor and its control. The study must also take into account how fair the economy was to each family. Those involved in the quest for the historical Jesus have discovered that the ancient economy is a major point of dispute among various interpreters. Was the early Jesus movement a socioeconomic protest? Or was it primarily a religious reform? These two approaches understand Jesus in remarkably different ways. This volume seeks to guide readers through some of the most controversial issues raised inthe last twenty years on this important topic.
