Insights from anthropology, religious studies, biblical studies, sociology, classics, and Jewish studies are here combined to provide a cutting-edge guide to dress and religion in the Greco-Roman World and the Mediterranean basin.

The volume begins by reviewing how scholars in the fields of classics, anthropology, religious studies, and sociology examine dress. The second section then looks at materials, including depictions of clothing in sculpture and in Egyptian mummy portraits. The third (and largest...

Bankette waren ein wichtiger Bestandteil der antiken Herrscherrepräsentation. In dieser Funktion werden sie hier erstmals aus den Quellen rekonstruiert, systematisch dargestellt und analysiert. Dabei geht es auch um Fragen, ob es einen genetischen Zusammenhang zwischen hellenistischem 'deipnon basilikon' und kaiserlichem convivium gibt und ob es sich bei diesen Veranstaltungen um einheitlich strukturierte Institutionen handelt. Es eröffnen sich Einblicke nicht nur in die 'Tischkultur' bei König und Kaiser, sondern auch in die Erwartungen sowie in die Art und Weise, in der das unterschiedliche Selbstverständnis der Herrscher in rituelle Lebensformen ihres Hofes bzw. Hauses überführt wurde.
One view that perennially springs up among biblical scholars is that Paul was the inventor of Christianity, or that Paul introduced the idea of a divine Christ to a church that earlier had simply followed the ethical teaching of a human Jesus. In this book Jerry Sumney responds to that claim by examining how, in reality, Paul drew on what the church already believed and confessed about Jesus. As he explores how Paul's theology relates to that of the broader early church, Sumney identifies where in the Christian tradition distinctive theological claims about Christ, his death, the nature of salvation, and eschatology first seem to appear. Without diminishing significant differences, Sumney describes what common traditions and beliefs various branches of the early church shared and compares them to Paul's thought. Sumney interacts directly with arguments made by those who claim Paul as the inventor of Christianity and approaches the questions raised by that claim in a fresh way.

Although consistently overlooked or dismissed, John 8.6, 8 in the "Pericope Adulterae" is the only place in canonical or non-canonical Jesus tradition that portrays Jesus as writing. After establishing that John 8.6, 8 is indeed a claim that Jesus could write, this book offers a new interpretation and transmission history of the "Pericope Adulterae." Not only did the pericope s interpolator place the story in John s Gospel in order to highlight the claim that Jesus could write, but he did so at John 7.53 8.11 as a result of carefully reading the Johannine narrative. The final chapter of the book proposes a plausible socio-historical context for the insertion of the story.
