ISBN10: 3161505727, ISBN13: 9783161505720, [publisher: JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck)] Hardcover Hardcover. E.A. Judge's third collection of essays moves on from Rome and the New Testament to the interaction of the classical and biblical traditions, to the cultural transformation of late antiquity, and to the contested heritage of Athens and Jerusalem in the modern West. A lifelong interest in Rome bridges this range. Christianity emerges as essentially a movement of ideas, opposed at first to the cultic practice of ancient religion which had been meant to secure the existing order of things. The new message with its demanding morality laid the foundations for our radically different sense of 'religion' as the quest for the ideal life.The 'Judge method' tackles such momentous questions by starting with textual detail, translated from Latin and Greek. Inspired by the project of the Doelger-Institut in Bonn (the interaction of antiquity and Christianity), he brings to it a particular focus on those documents of the times retrieved from stone or papyrus. The collection reflects the more holistic approach to history, starting with the ancient world, that has been developed at Macquarie University in Sydney, where diverse interests are now drawn together from as far back as ancient Egypt or China in an attractive approach to the modern world.

ISBN10: 3161505727, ISBN13: 9783161505720, [publisher: Tübingen, Mohr Siebeck,] Hardcover XII, 352 S. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // Die vorliegende Aufsatzsammlung behandelt die Wechselwirkung zwischen der klassischen und der biblischen Tradition, die kulturelle Transformation der Spätantike und das umstrittene Erbe Athens und Jerusalems im modernen Westen. Das Christentum entsteht vor allem aus einer Ideenbewegung, die zuerst einen Gegensatz zur kulturellen Praxis der zeitgenössischen Religion beinhaltete. Die neue Botschaft mit ihrer fordernden Moral legte die Grundsteine für unseren radikal anderen Sinn der `Religion` als das Streben nach dem idealen Leben. Judges Methode beginnt mit Textdetails und besonderem Augenmerk auf die Dokumente aus der Zeit von Stein und Papyrus. Die Sammlung spiegelt einen holistischen Ansatz der Geschichte wider und macht die Bedeutung der Spätantike als eine wichtige Epoche in der kulturellen Entstehung der modernen Welt deutlich.
