Gehen die Ziele, die Columella mit seiner "Res rustica" verfolgt, über die Ausbildung des Lesers zum erfolgreichen Gutsbesitzer hinaus? Das Buch findet einen neuen Zugang zu dieser in der Forschung schon häufig behandelten Frage, indem es die Charakterschulung, die der Agronom dem Gutsbesitzer bietet, in ihrer Funktionsweise und in ihrem Anspruch untersucht.

The account here does not turn away from theory, but rather presumes and incorporates theoretical approaches, offering a collection of principles assembled in the heat and trials of public practice. The approaches ventured in this volume are inspired...
For a man who endured so much bodily suffering during the course of his ministry, the apostle Paul has surprisingly little to say about health, medical care, or healing in his letters. Christopher D. Stanley explores the reasons for this silence and what we might reasonably infer regarding Paul's views on the subject. He focuses in particular on two questions that have been neglected in previous scholarship on the apostle Paul: first, what did Paul think, say, and do regarding the treatment of his own and his followers' illnesses and injuries, including "pagan" modes of medical care? And second, how did his ideas on this subject affect the success of his missionary enterprise? Stanley begins...
