Free Download Adam G. Cooper, "The Body in St. Maximus the Confessor: Holy Flesh, Wholly Deified"
English | 2005 | pages: 202 | ISBN: 019927570X | PDF | 5,1 mb
Contemporary scholarship recognizes in Maximus the Confessor a theologian of towering intellectual importance. In this book Adam G. Cooper puts to him a question which from the origins of Christian thought has constituted an interpretative crux for catholic Christianity: what is the place of the material order and, specifically, of the human body, in God’s creative, redemptive, and perfective economies? While the study builds upon the insights of other efforts in Maximian scholarship, it primarily presents an engagement with the full vista of Maximus’s own writings, providing a unique contribution towards an intelligent apprehension of this erudite but often impenetrable theological mind.

Free Download English Literature and the Crusades: Anxieties of Holy War, 1291-1453 (Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature) by Marcel Elias
English | October 31, 2024 | ISBN: 1108832210 | True PDF | 252 pages | 3.8 MB
The period from the Mamlūk reconquest of Acre (1291) to the Ottoman siege of Constantinople (1453) witnessed the production of a substantial corpus of Middle English crusade romances. Marcel Elias places these romances in dialogue with multifarious European writings to offer a novel account of late medieval crusade culture: as ambivalent and self-critical, animated by tensions and debates, and fraught with anxiety. These romances uphold ideals of holy war while expressing anxieties about issues as diverse as God’s endorsement of the crusading enterprise, the conversion of Christians to Islam, the sinfulness of crusaders, and the morality of violence. Reinvigorating debates in medieval postcolonialism, drawing on emotion studies, and excavating a rich multilingual archive, this book is a major contribution to the cultural history of the crusades.

Free Download Jan Loop, Naima Afif, "The European Qurʾān: Encounters with the Holy Text of Islam from the Ninth to the Twentieth Century"
English | ISBN: 3689241820 | 2024 | 128 pages | PDF | 11 MB
What role does the Holy Scripture of Islam, the Qurʾān, play in the history of European thought? How has it been read and understood in Europe since the first translations in the Middle Ages? The Qurʾān and Islam are traditionally seen as an antithesis to Europe’s self-narrative of cultural achievements: the Enlightenment, secularization, and religious tolerance. Some claim that Islam in general and the Qurʾān in particular are alien to Europe’s culture and political institutions. This publication endeavours to counter this popular belief and to tell a different story by documenting the role the Qurʾān has played in the formation of culture, religion, scholarship, and politics in Europe.
