Free Download The Correspondence of Christian Gottfried Krause: A Music Lover in the Age of Sensibility By Darrell M. Berg
2009 | 306 Pages | ISBN: 0754664295 | PDF | 67 MB
The fascinating correspondence of the Berlin lawyer and musician Christian Gottfried Krause is an important document reflecting the trends and developments in aesthetics, music theory and music making in the Prussian capital during the reign of Frederick the Great. Krause's letters shed light on the rise of a bourgeois music culture, which during his lifetime gradually replaced the traditional musical institutions at court and in the churches, preparing the urban musical culture which to this day dominates German socio-cultural structures. This volume features Krause's letters to leading literary figures of his time, including Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim, Carl Wilhelm Ramler, Ewald Christian von Kleist, and Johann Peter Uz. The letters provide importand information not found in other sources about musical performances, and express Krause's strong opinions about leading German musicians with whom he was acquainted, such as Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Georg Philipp Telemann, Carl Heinrich Graun, and Johann Friedrich Agricola. The letters provide news about the Berlin opera and gossip about the Prussian court as well as containing Krause's response to the Seven Years' War and his perception of the horrors - and benefits - of war in general. The correspondence vividly portrays the concern of a middle-class Prussian for the health and welfare of his family of six, in the very period when the Prussian middle class was beginning to come into its own. And - particularly in the exchanges with the lonely Gleim - the letters reveal a remarkable sympathy between this family man and a man without a family. They are presented in the original German, with English translations on facing pages. An introduction and abundant annotations help to reveal a picture of a pivotal cultural moment and will be of interest to anyone working on the roots of urban musical culture and the culture of the mid-eighteenth century in general.

Messias Puer: Christian Knorr von Rosenroths Lost Exegesis of Kabbalistic Christianity By Anna M. Vileno, Robert J. Wilkinson
2020 | 630 Pages | ISBN: 9004426485 | PDF | 4 MB
Previously considered irretrievably lost, the discovery of the only manuscript of the Messias Puer composed by Knorr von Rosenroth, the leading exponent of Christian Kabbalah in the seventeenth century, gives us an important insight into the evolution of his thought and specific vision of the relations between Jews and Christians. Moreover, the subtle intertwining of both Kabbalah and the emerging biblical criticism at work in this partial commentary on the New Testament Gospels sheds new light on the largely unexplored role of Esotericism during the Modern Era in the construction of the future study of religion. This book includes a critical edition of the original manuscript and an annotated translation.Anna M. Vileno, Ph.D. (2014), Free University of Brussels (ULB), post-doctoral researcher for the FNRS, teaches History of Religions. She has published À l'ombre de la kabbale. Philologie et ésotérisme dans l'œuvre de Christian Knorr de Rosenroth (2016). Robert J. Wilkinson, Ph.D. (2004), University of the West of England, has published several papers and books on Early Modern Syriac Studies and Christian Kabbalah. His last book is Tetragrammaton Western Christians and the Hebrew Name of God (Brill 2015).

The Political Lives of Saints: Christian-Muslim Mediation in Egypt By Angie Heo
2018 | 316 Pages | ISBN: 0520297989 | PDF | 76 MB
Since the Arab Spring in 2011 and ISIS's rise in 2014, Egypt's Copts have attracted attention worldwide as the collateral damage of revolution and as victims of sectarian strife. Countering the din of persecution rhetoric and Islamophobia, The Political Lives of Saints journeys into the quieter corners of divine intercession to consider what martyrs, miracles, and mysteries have to do with the routine challenges faced by Christians and Muslims living together under the modern nation-state. Drawing on years of extensive fieldwork, Angie Heo argues for understanding popular saints as material media that organize social relations between Christians and Muslims in Egypt toward varying political ends. With an ethnographer's eye for traces of antiquity, she deciphers how long-cherished imaginaries of holiness broker bonds of revolutionary sacrifice, reconfigure national sites of sacred territory, and pose sectarian threats to security and order. A study of tradition and nationhood at their limits, The Political Lives of Saints shows that Coptic Orthodoxy is a core domain of minoritarian regulation and authoritarian rule, powerfully reversing the recurrent thesis of its impending extinction in the Arab Muslim world.

The Christian Liturgical Papyri: An Introduction By Agnes T Mihalyko
2019 | 451 Pages | ISBN: 3161557867 | PDF | 22 MB
Liturgical papyri are prime witnesses to the history of liturgy and the religious and theological currents in late antique Egypt. These items from the third to ninth century preserve hundreds of Greek and Coptic hymns, prayers, and acclamations, most otherwise unknown but some still recited by the Coptic Church. Agnes T. Mihalyko offers the first extensive introduction to the liturgical papyri, facilitating the reader's access to them with a detailed inventory of edited manuscripts and an extensive discussion of their date and provenance. She also examines liturgical papyri as the first preserved liturgical manuscripts, describing their material features, the ways they were used, the early history of the liturgical books, and their languages. She reveals how liturgical texts were written down and transmitted and locates these important manuscripts in the book culture of late antique Egypt.

Brian C. Sorrells, "Love and Christian Ethics: Tradition, Theory, and Society "
English | ISBN: 1626163677 | 2016 | 432 pages | PDF | 3 MB
At the heart of Christian ethics is the biblical commandment to love God and to love one's neighbor as oneself. But what is the meaning of love? Scholars have wrestled with this question since the recording of the Christian gospels, and in recent decades teachers and students of Christian ethics have engaged in vigorous debates about appropriate interpretations and implications of this critical norm.
