Kampf um Kirchen : religiose Gewalt, heiliger Raum und christliche Topographie in Alexandria und Konstantinopel (4. Jh.) /

: "Die beiden Städte Alexandria und Konstantinopel wurden im 4. Jh. n. Chr. - wie viele andere Metropolen des Römischen Reiches - von tiefgreifenden Unruhen erschüttert. Rivalisierende christliche Gruppen stritten um das lokale Machtgefüge, insbesondere um den Besitz der neu entstehenden christlichen Topographie. Diese gewaltsamen Auseinandersetzungen, etwa um die Apostelkirche, die Hagia Eirene, die Theonaskirche oder die Kirche im Kaisareion, hatten Auswirkungen auf viele Bereiche des städtischen Lebens. Denn die Gebetshäuser, die Konflikte und die Städte selbst begannen sich zu verändern, wo immer ,Kampf' und ,Kirche' aufeinanderstiessen. Die vorliegende Studie widmet sich dem ,Kampf um Kirchen' und seinen Folgen: der zunehmenden Christianisierung der Städte, der Sakralisierung von Kirchengebäuden und einer neuen Form von religiöser Gewalt" -- P. [4] of cover.

Christians shaping identity from the Roman Empire to Byzantium : studies inspired by Pauline Allen /

: The essays collected in Christians Shaping Identity celebrate Pauline Allen's significant contribution to early Christian, late antique, and Byzantine studies, especially concerning bishops, heresy/orthodoxy and christology. Covering the period from earliest Christianity to middle Byzantium, the first eighteen essays explore the varied ways in which Christians constructed their own identity and that of the society around them. A final four essays explore the same theme within Roman Catholicism and oriental Christianity in the late 19th to 21st centuries, with particular attention to the subtle relationships between the shaping of the early Christian past and the moulding of Christian identity today. Among the many leading scholars represented are Averil Cameron and Elizabeth A. Clark.

Maximus I. von Turin : die Verkündigung eines Bischofs der frühen Reichskirche im zeitgeschichtlichen, gesellschaftlichen und liturgischen Kontext /

: This volume deals with the sermons of St. Maximus I, Bishop of Turin about AD 305-420. It presents an exemplary study which, besides clarifying problems of dating and authorship, points out the importance of context for an appropriate interpretation of sermon literature. The sermons are thus placed in the contexts of contemporary history, of society and of liturgy. The liturgical contextualisation forms the core of the book. The author reconstructs the liturgical year of late-Antique Turin and takes it as the basis of a detailed diachronic analysis of the bishop's preaching from advent to pentecost. Additionally, the Feasts of the Saints are seen in their kerygmatic function. In a concluding chapter the author tackles such problems as the exegetical nature of preaching and the importance of the Bible.
