Eso no estaba en mi libro de Historia de los vikingos
Los vikingos están de moda. De ello se han encargado series de televisión y películas de superhéroes que llevan poblando la pequeña y gran pantalla en los últimos años. Sin embargo, poco nos han contado nuestros libros de historia sobre esta gran cultura europea. Durante mucho tiempo se han concebido como una sociedad guerrera, dominada por rudos hombres de naturaleza violenta que adoraban a dioses misteriosos e igual de violentos. Quien abra estas páginas se dispone a encontrar una imagen bastante distinta, matizada y compleja del pueblo vikingo. La autora desea regalarles a los lectores una visión caleidoscópica de la vida en la Edad Vikinga, presentando sorprendentes curiosidade...

Germanic Magic
The three parts of the book are separated fields and deal with different facets of the runes. Part 1 gives, among other things, a fair summarizing historical overview, whereby corresponding finds and their possible interpretations are not left out. Part 2 offers many passages in related mythology and the Norse sagas where runes occur, the corresponding quotes are included. These two parts form an important foundation for the third part, which deals with the use of runes in modern magical-practical usage. After decades of study of various western streams and schools of magic and a thorough study of the runes, the author has managed to combine both. The result is a unique modern rune magic, which is presented in the third part of the book.
Law and Gospel in Emil Brunner's Earlier Dialectical Theology
The Swiss Reformed Theologian Emil Brunner was one of the key figures in the early 20th century theological movement of Dialectical Theology. In this monograph David Gilland offers an account of Bruner's earlier theology in relation to one of the central themes of the Protestant Reformation: Law and Gospel.He examines Brunner's early relationship with fellow Swiss Reformed theologian, Karl Barth and provides a detailed reading of a variety of Brunner's essays from the early to mid-1920s, centering on Brunner's efforts to use the law-gospel relationship to establish a basis for Christian theology. After analyzing the influence this has on Brunner's theological method, Gilland examines Brunner's earliest text on Christology, The Mediator (1927). In light of the preceding analysis, the fourth chapter provides a careful reading of Brunner's controversial polemic against Karl Barth, Nature and Grace (1934).The monograph concludes with reflections on Brunner's earlier theological work and his turbulent relationship with Karl Barth.
Making the Profane Sacred in the Viking Age
The contributions in this volume by world-leading scholars of archaeology, history, history of religion, literature and onomastics provide new insights into the construction of the sacred in Old Norse culture and society. The term 'sacred' is often used in relation to the pre-Christian religions of Iron Age and medieval Scandinavia. But what did sacred really mean? What made something sacred for people? Why was one particular person, place, act, or text perceived to hold a sacral quality, while others remained profane? And what impact did such sacrality have on wider society, culture, politics, and economics, both for contemporaries and for future generations? This volume seeks to engage wit...

Advances in Comparative Colonial Toponomastics
Die neue Reihe bietet die Plattform für ein sich gerade im Bereich der Linguistik ausformendes neues Forschungsprogramm namens "Koloniale und Postkoloniale Linguistik". Die Inspiration für diese neue linguistische Teildisziplin stammt aus der Missionarslinguistik und der rezenten Diskussion über die Zusammenhänge zwischen Sprache, Linguistik und Kolonialismus. Die Zusammenführung dieser beiden Perspektiven zeichnet die "Koloniale und Postkoloniale Linguistik" besonders aus. KPL/CPL macht in erster Linie solche Texte der interessierten Öffentlichkeit (Linguisten, Historiker, Muttersprachler der Objektsprachen usw.) in kommentierter Form zugänglich, die über die Sprachen der ehemaligen...
