Abstract:

This book is the result of a fruitful exchange between the textual studies about Marco Polo’s Devisement dou Monde and the socio-historical research regarding Mendicant Orders. The Order of Preachers, in particular, includes the figure of the Venetian merchant as an auctoritas in the area of anthropological knowledge of Eastern traditions, through a Latin translation process contributing to evangelization in Asia. The aim of this book is to analyze the Dominican reception hybridizing philological and linguistical with historical and archival methods. The crossing of these research trajectories

Abstract:

This chapter examines the sermon in post-Reformation England, and its development as the pre-eminent genre of instruction, edification, and conversion to Christian believers of all stripes. Beginning with its roots in traditional religious and classical forms and its development as a flexible form restrained by ecclesiastical regulation, censorship, and gender, the chapter emphasizes the sermon’s radically occasional nature and its elusive performative impact. The chapter explores the experience of sermon delivery and reception in oral and written forms, shaped by the institutional and public

Abstract:

This chapter assesses the Bible in American preaching from the seventeenth century to the present by analyzing dominant uses of scripture in two types of Protestant sermons: the cultic, or those addressed to the faith community, and the civic, or those directed to a public beyond the church. Primary strands of cultic preaching have been the salvation of the soul, associated with John 3:3 and evangelicalism from the Great Awakening forward, and spiritual improvement and well-being, which draws on a wide range of mainly New Testament passages, notably the Sermon on the Mount, and historically ha

Abstract:

Chapter 4 turns its attention to the stasis of letter versus spirit. Traditionally, this stasis has been understood as pitting the exact words of a text against the author’s intent, but the chapter expands the notion of spirit to include other animating forces of textual meaning, such as an overarching principle of interpretation brought by readers to the text. The chapter shows how both the letter and spirit of a text can be divided, with arguers disputing the text’s real versus apparent letter or the author’s real versus apparent intent. To demonstrate how arguers construe authorial intentio

Abstract:

The humanist educational project to educate the elite of Western Europe produced as one of its dizzy successes the application of conversation to the speech and behavior of nobleman at court. This, the development of the ideal of the courtier, took conversation from the leisurely retreat from the ancient political world to the courtly heart of the Renaissance political world. The salons of seventeenth-century France further transformed the conversational tradition of the court: in principle, the conversation of the salons began quietly to set itself to rival the world of oratory, to address it

Abstract:

Conversatio, mutual conduct, had possessed loose affiliations with sermo in ancient and medieval times. During the Renaissance, conversatio shifted far closer to sermo and its constellation of cognate concepts. Stefano Guazzo elaborated an influential theory of civil conversation in his eponymous late-sixteenth-century dialogue, which reconceived conversatio in secular terms as the realm of society. This Italian conception of civil conversation then received a universalizing spin from the natural law jurisprudential tradition of Grotius and Pufendorf, transforming it into an amoral disposition

Missionaries and their native co-authors incorporated traditional indigenous oratory into Christian sermons in order to persuade, as well as instruct, the Indian neophytes. An analysis of sermons and devotional literature in indigenous languages reveals many examples of the refined style of Mesoamerican ceremonial discourse, especially the most characteristic literary device of paired couplets, or difrasismos. A comparison is made between Renaissance European and Mesoamerican poetics as represented in Mixtec and Zapotec texts, with an emphasis on the miracle stories of Marian devotion and deat

Hasidism, a movement of religious awakening and social reform, originated in the mid-eighteenth century. After two and a half centuries of crisis, upheaval, and renewal, it remains a vibrant way of life and a compelling aspect of Jewish experience. This book explores the profound intellectual and religious issues that the hasidic masters raised in their Torah commentary, and brings to the fore the living qualities of their sermons (derashot).

Sermons and elaborated catechisms provided a comprehensive survey of the precepts and practices that the new Christians were obliged to follow. Discourse analysis of sixteenth-century doctrinal literature, primarily Dominican, in Spanish as well as bilingual texts, reveals a generally negative message that was addressed to the Indians. Relatively little attention was paid to the offer of salvation; instead the texts were intent on condemning the Indians’ traditional religion as “idolatry” and on warning the Indians against the triple threat of man’s inclination to sin, the snares set for him b

Abstract:

In traditional thought and theology, Christianity tends to oppose dance. Conventional scholarship traces this controversy back to the Middle Ages. Throughout the medieval era, the Latin Church denounced and prohibited dancing in religious and secular realms, often aligning it with demonic intervention, lust, pride, and sacrilege. Historical sources, however, suggest that medieval dance was a complex and ambivalent phenomenon. During the High and Late Middle Ages, Western theologians, liturgists, and mystics not only tolerated dance, they transformed it into a dynamic component of religious tho

Abstract:

This volume charts the development of protestant Dissent between the passing of the Toleration Act (1689) and the repealing of the Test and Corporation Acts (1828). The long eighteenth century was a period in which Dissenters slowly moved from a position of being a persecuted minority to achieving a degree of acceptance and, eventually, full political rights. The first part of the volume considers the history of various Dissenting traditions inside England. There are separate chapters devoted to Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Baptists, and Quakers—the denominations that traced their histor

Abstract:

This chapter maintains that Newman does not fit neatly into either the philosophical or rhetorical traditions of thought about liberal education; rather, as a controversialist, he dialectically combines both approaches. In his writings about learning (the Oxford University Sermon on Wisdom, ‘The Tamworth Reading Room’, Idea of a University, Rise and Progress of Universities), Newman distinguishes the important functions of theology and the Catholic Church from the single, essential goal of liberal education, namely the development of a philosophical habit of mind. He brings out the dialectical

Preaching has been central to Muslim communities throughout the centuries.

Abstract:

Emotions in a Crusading Context is the first book-length study of the emotional rhetoric of crusading. It investigates the ways in which a number of emotions and affective displays—primarily fear, anger, and weeping—were understood, represented, and utilized in twelfth- and thirteenth-century western narratives of the crusades, making use of a broad range of comparative material to gauge the distinctiveness of those texts: crusader letters, papal encyclicals, model sermons, chansons de geste, lyrics, and an array of theological and philosophical treatises.

Rather than relegating vengeance to the social periphery, the book uncovers how facets of civil society—church, law, and education—rely on the dynamic of revenge to augment their power.

Their alternative drew on a variety of classical ideas about self-cultivation and self-discipline, but built upon and further developed relatively hedonistic versions of these.

The nineteenth-century novel in English is frequently defined by a theological shape.

Yet alternative understandings of the pervasive influence of evangelical culture emphasize a more complex relationship with the novel, even after the advent of the ‘Higher’ biblical criticism.

This book investigates Martin Luther King, Jr.’s religious development from a precocious “preacher’s kid” in segregated Atlanta to the most influential American preacher and orator of the twentieth century.

By returning to the raw sources, it recaptures King’s real preaching voice and, consequently, something of the real King himself. The book shows how as the son, grandson, and great-grandson of preac

Late antiquity saw a proliferation of Christian texts dwelling on the emotions and physical sensations of dying—not as a heroic martyr in a public square or a judge’s court but as an individual, at home in a bed or in a private room. In sermons, letters, and ascetic traditions, late ancient Christians imagined the last minutes of life and the events that followed death in elaborate detail. This book traces how, in late ancient Christianity, death came to be thought of as a moment of reckoning: a physical ordeal whose pain is followed by an immediate judgment of one’s actions by angels and demo
