Secrets Of Christianity $17.18 Rated: NASynopsis: This special collection attempts to unravel the mysteries of Christianity that have existed for thousands of years. Archeological and historical sleuthing will reveal the details behind the following puzzles: The sea journey Jesus took and why it’s been covered up. How Mount Vesuvius might have been more responsible for the spread of Christianity than Apostles Peter and Paul. What happened to the nails discovered in the tomb of the man who sent Jesus to the cross? Who was Simon of Perea and was he the messiah before Jesus? Did Christianity thrive within the very army that was supposed to suppress it? Did Christianity conquer Rome or did pagan Rome conquer Christianity? The answers and more lie within. |

”Go and make disciples of all the nations”: Moravian missionaries in Nicaragua’s Atlantic Coast from 1912–1933. $49.99 According to Matthew, chapter 28, verse 19 of the Bible, Jesus ordered his disciples to go forth from Galilee to convert the people. A seemingly direct initiative, this instruction would prompt scores of missionaries over the course of the next 2000 years to follow in the footsteps of Jesus the Nazarene, believe in Christianity, and pursue active steps to convert nonbelievers. In 1849, a group of Moravian missionaries had taken this teaching to heart and landed on the Eastern Coast of Nicaragua. Armed with faith and a plan, these devout Christians and their successors would spend the next 125 years in communion with the native peoples.;The period of 1912-1933 was one of constant struggle for the Moravian missionaries in Nicaragua’s Miskitu Coast. They were waging a two front melee with the American Marines and businessmen on one side and the Roman Catholic Church on the other. In 1912, the U.S. Marine Corps entered Nicaragua. Sent in to restore stability to the region, their goals satisfied the needs of wealthy shareholders and Washington bureaucrats. In place non-consecutively until 1933, the Marines brought modernism to the coast, which upset Moravian teachings of simplicity. Meanwhile, the Roman Catholic Church experienced a wave of interest in integrating the coast into the traditional religion, prevalent across the majority of the country. Whether an actual campaign to convert the coast existed is not of concern here; of interest is simply that the Moravians perceived it to be so. They honestly believed that “Rome” was attempting to take their communities. So, they fervently fought back through strengthening their convictions and working harder. Besieged by forces out of their control, they turned their attentions toward converting the native populations, particularly the Miskitu, to Christianity and reduce or eliminate all remnants of aboriginal spiritual practices. During the course of their mission, Moravian preachers influenced native beliefs. However, in |

‘And So We Came to Rome ‘: The Political Perspective of St Luke $35 It has often been suggested that Luke’s two volumes were written as an apology for Christianity, to demonstrate to the Roman authorities that the new faith was not a dangerous and subversive innovation, a threat to the Pax Romana and to Roman rule. This book reviews the development of the ‘traditional perspective’, then raises some questions, e.g. if Luke was writing an apologia pro ecclesia, why does he include so much material politically damaging to the Christian cause? Is it possible that the approach has been made from the wrong angle, that Luke was writing an apologia not pro ecclesia but pro imperio, to assure his fellow Christians that Church and Empire need not fear or suspect each other? This conclusion is then supported by an investigation of the text of Luke-Acts, particularly the trials of Jesus and Paul. This challenging volume will be of interest to students and scholars of the New Testament and to ecclesiastical and Roman historians. |

Excerpt: The Brothers, or Brethren of the Free Spirit, was a lay Christian movement which flourished in northern Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries. Antinomian and individualist in outlook, it came into conflict with the Church and was declared heretical by Pope Clement V at the Council of Vienne (131112). They are often considered similar to the Amalricans. They flourished at a time of great trauma in Western Europe during the conflict between the decadent Avignon Papacy and the Holy Roman Emperor, the Hundred Years’ War, the Black Death, the rise of the Cathar heresy and the subsequent Crusade against them, the beginnings of the Inquisition, the fall of the Templars and the internal strife of the Church all of which helped fuel the appeal of their individualistic and millenarian approach to Christianity and Scripture. In this time of crisis within the Church and society as a whole there was a strong sense that the end of the world was coming and so the issue of Man’s spirituality and salvation became more and more important. Where people ceased to find the spiritual answers they sought from Rome, dissident movements like the Brethren sprang up all across Europe preaching an alternative… More: |

1471 Establishments: Capitoline Museums, Chefchaouen, University of Genoa, Count of Penela, Grgeteg Monastery $14.13 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Capitoline Museums (Italian Musei Capitolini) are a group of art and archeological museums in Piazza del Campidoglio, on top of the Capitoline Hill in Rome, Italy. The museums are contained in three palazzi surrounding a central trapezoidal piazza in a plan conceived by Michelangelo Buonarroti in 1536 and executed over a period of over 400 years. The history of the museums can be traced to 1471, when Pope Sixtus IV donated a collection of important ancient bronzes to the people of Rome and located them on Capitoline Hill. Since then, the museums’ collection has grown to include a large number of ancient Roman statues, inscriptions, and other artifacts; a collection of medieval and Renaissance art; and collections of jewels, coins, and other items. The museums are owned and operated by the municipality of Rome. The statue of a mounted rider in the centre of the piazza is of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. It is a copy, the original being housed on-site in the Capitoline museum. Many Roman statues were destroyed on the orders of Christian Church authorities in the Middle Ages; this statue was preserved in the erroneous belief that it depicted the Emperor Constantine, who made Christianity the official state religion of the Roman empire. The Palazzo dei Conservatori is one of the three main buildings of the Capitoline Museums. galleryThis section contains collections sorted by building, and brief information on the buildings themselves. For the history of their design and construction, see Capitoline Hill#Michelangelo. The Capitoline Museums are composed of three main buildings surrounding the Piazza del Campidoglio and interlinked by an underground gallery beneath the piazza. The three main buildings of the Capitoline Museums are: In addition, th… More: |

Chapters: William of Ockham, Gersonides, Catherine of Siena, Ramon Llull, Pietro D’abano, Thomas Bradwardine, Jean Buridan, Duns Scotus, Nicole Oresme, Giles of Rome, Abner of Burgos, Albert of Saxony, Liu Ji, Profiat Duran, William Crathorn, Marsilius of Inghen, Oxford Calculators, Petrus Aureolus, John of Paris, Walter Burley, Gregory of Rimini, Sophonias, Richard Swineshead, Adam de Wodeham, Samuel Ibn Seneh Zarza, Nicholas of Autrecourt, John of Jandun, William of Heytesbury, Henry Harclay, Robert Holcot, Robert Alyngton, Adalbertus Ranconis de Ericinio, Walter Chatton, John Dumbleton. Excerpt: Abner of Burgos (ca. 1270-ca. 1347, or a little later) was a Jewish philosopher, a convert to Christianity and polemical writer against his former religion. Known after his conversion as Alfonso of Valladolid . Life As a student he acquired a certain mastery in Biblical and Talmudical studies, to which he added an intimate acquaintance with Peripatetic philosophy and astrology . He was graduated as a physician at 25, but throughout a long life he seems to have found the struggle for existence a hard one. In 1295, he reportedly treated a number of Jews for distress following their experiences in the failed messianic movement in Avila. As Abner reports in his Moreh Zedek/Mostrador de justicia, he himself “had a dream” in which a similar experience of crosses mysteriously appearing on his garments drove him to question his ancestral faith. Not being of those contented ones who, as Moses Narboni says in his Maamar ha-Be irah (Essay on the Freedom of the Will; quoted by Grätz, p. 488), are satisfied with a peck of locust beans from one Friday to another, he resolved to embrace Christianity though at the advanced age of sixty, according to Paulus de Santa Maria / Pablo de Santa |

Excerpt: The 150s decade ran from January 1, 150, to December 31, 159.Events and trends Significant people A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at The First Apology was an early work of Christian apologetics addressed by Justin Martyr to the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius . It is dated to the period 150-155.Purpose for writing The purpose of the Apology is to prove to the emperors, renowned as upright and philosophical men, the importance of Christianity. Chapters i.-xii. give the preliminary negative proof; chap. xiii. begins a positive exposition of Christianity: that Christians are the true worshipers of God, the Creator of all things; they offer him the only sacrifices worthy of him, those of prayer and thanksgiving, and are taught by his Son, to whom they assign a place next in honor to him; this teaching leads them to perfect morality, as shown in their teacher’s words and their own lives, and founded on their belief in the resurrection.Dating of the text The Dialogue is a later work than the First Apology ; the date of composition of the latter, from the fact that it was addressed to Antoninus Pius , Marcus Aurelius , and Lucius Verus , must fall between 147 and 161. The reference to Felix as governor of Egypt, since this can only be the Lucius Munatius Felix whom the Oxyrhynchus papyri name as prefect September 13, 151, fixes the date still more exactly. The Chronicon of Eusebius gives 152-153 as the date of the attacks of Crescens . What is designated as the Second Apology was written as a supplement to the first, on account of certain proceedings which had in the mean time taken place in Rome before Lollius Urbicus as prefect of the city, which must have been between 150 and 157.Doctrine of the Logos The doctrine of the Logos begotten of flesh is specially emphasized. |

A Companion to Families in the Greek and Roman Worlds $199.95 Recent decades have witnessed a dramatic surge of interest in the study of families in the ancient Mediterranean world. Social history has only recently extended its scope to include women, children, slaves, and foreigners, giving birth to a new definition of ‘the family’ that recognizes the great diversity of family forms in classical antiquity. A Companion to Families in the Greek and Roman Worlds draws from both established and current scholarship to offer a broad and interdisciplinary overview of the field, engage in contemporary debates, and pose stimulating questions about future development in the study of families.Employing new methodologies and relying on textual and visual evidence from a variety of disciplines, such as archaeology, art, law, and early Christianity, this international team of contributors presents important new insights into life in ancient Greece and Rome and serves to broaden our understanding of the social structures of classical antiquity. |

A History Of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, 1741-1892 $70.26 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.Excerpt from book:Section 3CHAPTER II. The Unitas Fratrum Or Moravian Church. A.D. 1457-1735- The founders of Bethlehem represented a Church variously known as the Brethren’s Church, the Unitas Fratrum, the Bohemian and Moravian Brethren, the Church of the United Brethren and the Moravian Church.1 It arose in the fifteenth century in the twin countries of Bohemia and Moravia, lying mountain-encircled in the heart of Europe, small in area but long the theatre of great events. For more than seven hundred years their history had been one of successive struggles for freedom and for the preservation of their primitive Christianity in character and form. What their first evangelists, Cyrill and Methodius of the Greek Church gave them in the ninth century; what Rome deprived them of in the eleventh century, the Bohemian Reformation came so near restoring at the opening of the fifteenth century that the Papal authorities resorted to the desperate measure of burning the intrepid leader John Hus at the stake July 6, 1415, to intimidate the uprising hosts. The subsequent contentions were partly political, partly religious. The Four Articles of Prague (1421) which declared for unhindered worship and preaching in the vernacular; the communion cup to the laiety; secular power taken from the clergy; discipline impartially maintained among all ranks and classes, became the general platform of the Hussite patriots. Two main parties arose. 1 The original Bohemian name was textit{Jednota Bratnha. The word textit{Jedn-ota means association of any kind. It was chosen instead of textit{Cirhev (church) in deference to the National Church, as textit{Unitas was later used as a Latin equivalent of Jednota — both meaning what is meant by Church in the restricted sense, as applied to single church divisions or denominations in America.

A History of Christianity in Asia $40 The history of Christianity in the West has often been told, but the story of Christianity in the East has received scant attention. This Christianity looked neither to Rome nor Constantinople, and for centuries remained proudly Asian. This first volume of Samuel Moffett’s epic history reveals this fascinating and little-known story.While Paul and other early missionaries converted Greeks and Romans, then the barbarian tribes of Europe, priests of the Church of the East — later called the Nestorian — established centers in Persia and Afghanistan, across India and the Mongolian steppes, and in China itself as early as the 7th century. These missionaries experienced both favor and persecution according to the political climate of their times; but the expansion they achieved would not be matched by the West until after the 13th century.Moffett captivates readers with the rise and fall of empires and the rulers whose actions determined the fate of Christianity in their realms. It was Kublai Khan’s mother, a Christian Mongol princess, who encouraged the Great Khan’s tolerance of Christian missionaries. Indeed, Mongol armies were known to ride into battle under the banner of the Holy Cross. But it was a dust cloud from a different desert — Islam — that was to dramatically bring about the end of this first, dynamic period of Asian Christianity.A History of Christianity in Asia makes available immense amounts of research on the religious pluralism of Asia and how Christianity spread long before the modern missionary movement went forth in the shelter of Western military might. Invaluable for historians of Asia and scholars of mission it is stimulating for all readers interestedin Christian history. |

A Jesuit in the Forbidden City: Matteo Ricci 1552-1610 $57.5 A 16th century Italian Jesuit, Matteo Ricci was the founder of the Catholic Mission in China and one of the most famous missionaries of all time. A pioneer in bringing Christianity to China, Ricci spent twenty eight years in the country, in which time he crossed the cultural divides between China and the West by immersing himself in the language and culture of his hosts. Even 400 years later, he is still one of the best known westerners in China, celebrated for introducing western scientific and religious ideas to China and for explaining Chinese culture to Europe.The first critical biography of Ricci to use all relevant sources, both Chinese and Western, A Jesuit in the Forbidden City tells the story of a remarkable life that bridged Counter-Reformation Catholic Europe and China under the Ming dynasty. Hsia follows the life of Ricci from his childhood in Macerata, through his education in Rome, to his sojourn in Portuguese India, before the start of his long journey of self-discovery and cultural encounter in the Ming realm. Along the way, we glimpse the workings of the Portuguese maritime empire in Asia, the mission of the Society of Jesus, and life in the European enclave of Macau on the Chinese coast, as well as invaluable sketches of Ricci’s fellow Jesuits and portraits of the Chinese mandarins who formed networks indispensible for Ricci’s success. Examining a range of new sources, Hsia offers important new insights into Ricci’s long period of trial and frustration in Guangdong province, where he first appeared in the persona of a foreign Buddhist monk, before the crucial move to Nanchang in 1595 that led to his sustained intellectual conversation with a leading Confucian scholar and subsequent synthesis of Christianity and Confucianism in propagating the Gospels in China. With his expertise in cartography, mathematics and astronomy, Ricci quickly won recognition, especially after he had settled in Nanjing in 1598, the southern capital of the Ming |
Rome Christianity
Christianity, influence how the fall of Rome??
The most popular argument is that Christianity has moderated determining the Romans. The Romans became too religious, meaning they have forgotten their property and the Empire, and it is now estimated that material things are not important, is the spirit that is important. So when the barbarians came, only it does not matter. This is my version of what Gibbon said. While this makes life (and most were Christians), Gibbon did't really think the Eastern Roman Empire was a state success. The view was pagan and neglected the worship of deities of the Empire and national began to worship the god and thus foreign Roma have lost the protection of the gods. I do not really believe that Christianity has an important influence that the fall of Rome (too many other factors have), but these are the two most important arguments that I found.
