Hermeneutics of Holiness
In Hermeneutics of Holiness , Naomi Koltun-Fromm examines the ancient nexus of holiness and sexuality and explores its roots in the biblical texts as well as its manifestations throughout ancient and late-ancient Judaism and early Syriac Christianity. In the process, she tells the story of how the biblical notions of "holy person" and "holy community" came to be defined by the sexual and marriage practices of various interpretive communities in late antiquity. Koltun-Fromm seeks to explain why sexuality, especially sexual restraint, became a primary demarcation of sacred community boundaries among Jews and Christians in fourth-century Persian-Mesopotamia. She charts three primary manifestati...
Before Middle Passage: Translated Portuguese Manuscripts of Atlantic Slave Trading from West Africa to Iberian Territories, 1513-26
On the 20th of January 1526, the Santiago left Lisbon bound for Africa with a cargo of brass and tin bracelets, round bells, barber basins and cloth; by early October the ship was back in Portugal with a very different cargo, 108 enslaved Africans. With chilling detachment the ship’s trading log records the commodification of human beings, the prices paid for them, the sums received for their sale and the number who did not survive the crossing. Whilst this log may be extremely rare, it is clear from another surviving document, the receipt book of the customs office of the Portuguese Cape Verde Islands, that such voyages were commonplace in the early years of the sixteenth century.

The History of Galilee, 47 BCE to 1260 CE
Several world cities are held in reverence by some or all three monotheistic faiths, but no world region has allure to all three on a level matched by Galilee in northern Israel. The region where Jesus came of age, Galilee is where Christianity came into being as a communal faith; it is where Judaism reinvented itself in rabbinic, Talmudic form after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple; and it is where Islam established its place in the Holy Land, following epochal military triumphs in the region’s center or its outer rims. The History of Galilee, 47 BCE to 1260 CE: From Josephus and Jesus to the Crusades tells Galilee’s history, from Josephus and Jesus to the Crusades, in a multi-cultural format and lively narrative voice. This first-of-its-kind publication will be a rich source of information and a catalyst of inter-faith discussion among readers of varying backgrounds and interests.
Von Geld und Werten (E-Book)
Wer vermögend ist, hat Freiheit. Doch wie nutzt man diese Freiheit sinnvoll und wie bereitet man seine Nachkommen auf die Verantwortung vor, die mit ihr einhergeht? In der Schweiz gehen im Jahr bis 70 Milliarden Franken von einer Generation an die nächste über. Wir wissen viel darüber, wie man ein Vermögen verwaltet, rechtlich strukturiert und mehrt. Wie man dieses aber weitergibt und mit welcher Grundhaltung man es verknüpfen kann, damit es zu einem Geschenk wird und nicht zu einer Last, darüber wird kaum explizit nachgedacht. Jorge Frey und Eugen Stamm haben sich mit 30 Mitgliedern von Unternehmer- und Investorenfamilien aus der ganzen Schweiz über diese Fragen unterhalten. Einige von ihnen sind sehr vermögend, andere gut situiert. Sie sind in verschiedenen Branchen tätig und haben ihr Vermögen selber geschaffen, geerbt oder führen ein von ihren Vorfahren gegründetes Familienunternehmen weiter.
