Signs, Wonders, and Gifts Divination in the Letters of Paul

Free Download Jennifer Eyl, "Signs, Wonders, and Gifts: Divination in the Letters of Paul"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 0190924659 | PDF | pages: 271 | 3.4 mb
In much of the scholarship on Paul, activities such as speaking in tongues, prophecy, and miracle healings are either ignored or treated as singular occurrences. Typically, these practices are categorized in such a way that shields Paul and his followers from the influence of so-called paganism. In Signs, Wonders, and Gifts, Jennifer Eyl masterfully argues that Paul did, in fact, engage in range of divinatory and wonder-working practices that were widely recognized and accepted across the ancient Mediterranean. Eyl redescribes, reclassifies, and recontextualizes Paul’s repertoire vis-á-vis such widespread, similar practices. Situating these activities within the larger framework of reciprocity that dominated human-divine relationships in antiquity, she demonstrates that divine powers and divine communication were bestowed as benefactions toward Paul and his gentile followers in proportion to their faithfulness and loyalty.

Free Download Cicero on Divination: Book 1 Book 1 (Clarendon Ancient History Series) (Bk. 1) By David Wardle (editor)
2007 | 482 Pages | ISBN: 0199297916 | PDF | 2 MB
In the two Books of De divinatione Cicero considers beliefs concerning fate and the possibility of prediction: in the first book he puts the (principally Stoic) case for them in the mouth of his brother Quintus; in the second, speaking in his own person, he argues against them. In this new translation of, and commentary on, Book One–the first in English for over 80 years–David Wardle guides the reader through the course of Cicero’s argument, giving particular attention to the traditional Roman and the philosophical conception of divination.
