Kirche und Kaiser in Antike und Spätantike
Das Imperium Romanum interagierte vielfältig und differenziert mit Kirche und Theologie – und umgekehrt. Die vorliegenden Studien untersuchen diese wechselvolle Beziehung und spannen einen weiten Bogen vom ersten bis zum sechsten Jahrhundert. Dabei nehmen die Beiträge den Osten wie den Westen des Imperium Romanum und seiner Nachfolgestaaten in den Blick und erörtern das Thema unter Rückgriff auf eine Vielfalt literarischer Gattungen. Der Band ist Hanns Christof Brennecke zum 70. Geburtstag gewidmet.
Three Powers in Heaven
A fresh look at how Christianity and Judaism became two distinct religions through the parting of their intellectual traditions How, when, and why did Christianity and Judaism diverge into separate religions? Emanuel Fiano reinterprets the parting of the ways between Jews and Christians as a split between two intellectual traditions, a split that emerged within the context of ancient debates about Jesus’s relationship to God and the world. Fiano explores how Christianity moved away from Judaism through the development of new practices for religious inquiry. By demonstrating that the constitution of communal borders coincided with the elaboration of different methods for producing religious knowledge, the author shows that Christian theological controversies, often thought to teach us nothing beyond the history of dogma, can cast light on the broader religious landscape of late antiquity. Three Powers in Heaven thus marks not only a historical but also a methodological intervention in the study of the parting of the ways and in scholarship on ancient religion.

A Widower's Lament
Lament is essential to human thriving. It allows us to cope with significant loss, an inescapable feature of our mortal existence. Lament is the passionate outpouring of deep sorrow and grief over such loss, which helps us avoid being completely overcome by the strong emotions that come with it. Lament is cathartic and constructive. It is a necessary step in coming to terms with great loss and moving forward in life. Not to lament is not to live--or at least not to live very fully, deeply, or well. This book deals with one instance of Christian lament in the late Reformation by exploring the efforts of a talented yet little-known layman to cope with the death of his beloved wife. For the fir...
A History of Early Christian Creeds
This history of early Christian creeds contains an up-to-date account of their origin and development from the credal texts in the New Testament to the fully fledged classical formulae of the 4th century.
