"Histories and Fallacies is a primer on the conceptual and methodological problems in the discipline of history."--from publisher description.
The dramatic task of re-imagining clerical identity proved crucial to the Renaissance and Reformation. Jon Wood brings new light to ways in which that discussion animated reconfigurations of church, state, and early modern populace. End-Times considerations of Christian religion had played a part in upheavals throughout the medieval period, but the Reformation era mobilized that tradition with some new possibilities for understanding institutional leadership. Perceiving dangers of an overweening institution on the one hand and anarchic "priesthood of all believers" on the other hand, early Protestants defended legitimacy of ordained ministry in careful coordination with the state. The early ...
Der zweite Band der Briefe an Pestalozzi umfasst die Jahre 1805 bis 1809 und enthält knapp 400 Briefe. Im napoleonischen Europa avancierte "Volkserziehung" zu einem wichtigen Punkt auf der nationalen Agenda, so dass die Methode Pestalozzis praktische Relevanz bekam. Darüberhinaus zeigen die Briefe, auf welche Gegenargumente die Bewunderer Pestalozzis stießen und wie es zu ersten Konflikten in seinem Institut auf Schloss Yverdon kam. In der Schweiz kann der Titel über die Neue Zürcher Zeitung bezogen werden.

What, in Matthew’s view, should a human being become and how does one attain that ideal? In The Sermon on the Mount and Spiritual Exercises: The Making of the Matthean Self, George Branch-Trevathan presents a new account of Matthew’s ethics and argues that the evangelist presents the Sermon on the Mount as functioning like many other ancient sayings collections, that is, as facilitating transformative work on oneself, or “spiritual exercises,” that enable one to realize the evangelist’s ideals. The conclusion suggests some implications for our understanding of ethical formation in antiquity and the study of ethics more generally. This will be an essential volume for scholars studying the Gospel of Matthew, early Christian ethics, the relationships between early Christian and ancient philosophical writings, or ethical formation in antiquity.
This book explores the explosive social and political implications of Erasmus' philological work on the Greek New Testament. When Erasmus (1516) failed to find Greek manuscript evidence for the 'Johannine comma', long considered the clearest biblical evidence for the Trinity, he unwittingly opened a vicious debate over the nature of the bible, its relationship with doctrine, and the role of the state in regulating private belief.
