Literary Representations of Christianity in Late Qing and Republican China By John T P Lai
2019 | 200 Pages | ISBN: 9004394117 | PDF | 6 MB
Literary Representations of Christianity in Late Qing and Republican China contributes to the "literary turn" in the study of Chinese Christianity by foregrounding the importance of literary texts, including the major genres of Chinese Christian literature (novels, drama and poetry) of the late Qing and Republican periods. These multifarious types of texts demonstrated the multiple representations and dynamic scenes of Christianity, where Christian imageries and symbolism were transformed by linguistic manipulation into new contextualized forms which nurtured distinctive new fruits of literature and modernized the literary landscape of Chinese literature. The study of the composition and poetics of Chinese Christian literary works helps us rediscover the concerns, priorities, textual strategies of the Christian writers, the cross-cultural challenges involved, and the reception of the Bible.

Christianity Explained: The History of Roman Catholicism? by John Samuel Barnett
English | 2009 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B001QCYJN0 | 500 pages | MOBI | 0.76 Mb
What Church did Jesus Christ really start? Is Romanism really the Holy Catholic Church of the New Testament? The biblical view of the sacrifice of the Mass, the very heart of Roman Catholicism, is a denial of the completed work of the cross, which states that "Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many" (Hebrews 9:28a). Verse 28a does away with Romanism: not once an hour in the big cathedrals; not once a day at all the other ones; not all day long at those chapels surrounding St. Peter's Cathedral, the largest Roman Catholic Church in the world, but ONCE FOR ALL. This is the stake in the heart of Romanism. To those who trust in that once-for-all sacrifice, and eagerly wait for Him, He is going to appear-but not to those who are looking to be saved by crucifying Him over and over again. Do you see why this teaching is so important?

Jessica L. Wright, "The Care of the Brain in Early Christianity"
English | ISBN: 0520387678 | 2022 | 310 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Cerebral subjectivity-the identification of the individual self with the brain-is a belief that has become firmly entrenched in modern science and popular culture. In The Care of the Brain in Early Christianity, Jessica Wright traces its roots to tensions within early Christianity over the brain's role in self-governance and its inherent vulnerability. Examining how early Christians appropriated medical ideas, Wright tracks how they used these ideas for teaching ascetic practices, developing therapeutics for the soul, and finding a path to salvation. Bringing a medical lens to religious discourse, this text demonstrates that rather than rejecting medical traditions, early Christianity developed by creatively integrating them.

Ishay Rosen-Zvi, "The Evil Inclination in Early Judaism and Christianity"
English | ISBN: 1108470823 | 2021 | 350 pages | PDF | 2 MB
One of the central concepts in rabbinic Judaism is the notion of the Evil Inclination, which appears to be related to similar concepts in ancient Christianity and the wider late antique world. The precise origins and understanding of the idea, however, are unknown. This volume traces the development of this concept historically in Judaism and assesses its impact on emerging Christian thought concerning the origins of sin. The chapters, which cover a wide range of sources including the Bible, the Ancient Versions, Qumran, Pseudepigrapha and Apocrypha, the Targums, and rabbinic and patristic literature, advance our understanding of the intellectual exchange between Jews and Christians in classical Antiquity, as well as the intercultural exchange between these communities and the societies in which they were situated.

Memory in Ancient Rome and Early Christianity edited by Karl Galinsky
English | February 17, 2016 | ISBN: 0198744765, 0198822596 | True PDF | 448 pages | 20.8 MB
What and how do people remember? Who controls the process of what we call cultural or social memory? What is forgotten and why? People's memories are not the same as history written in retrospect; they are malleable and an ongoing process of construction and reconstruction. Ancient Rome provided much of the cultural framework for early Christianity, and in both the role of memory was pervasive.
