Fifty Early Medieval Things

Materials of Culture in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages

By: Deborah Deliyannis,Hendrik Dey,Paolo Squatriti

This important book [...] is a helpful guide to thinking with things and teaching with things. Each entry challenges the reader to approach objects as historical actors that can speak to the changes and continuities of life in the late antique and early medieval world.― Early Medieval Europe Lavishly illustrated and engagingly written, Fifty Early Medieval Things demonstrates how to read objects in ways that make the distant past understandable and approachable. Fifty Early Medieval Things introduces readers to the material culture of late antique and early medieval Europe, north Africa, and western Asia. Ranging from Iran to Ireland and from Sweden to Tunisia, Deborah Deliyannis, Hendrik Dey, and Paolo Squatriti present fifty objects—artifacts, structures, and archaeological features—created between the fourth and eleventh centuries, an ostensibly "Dark Age" whose cultural richness and complexity is often underappreciated. Each thing introduces important themes in the social, political, cultural, religious, and economic history of the postclassical era. Some of the things, like a simple ard (plow) unearthed in Germany, illustrate changing cultural and technological horizons in the immediate aftermath of Rome's collapse; others, like the Arabic coin found in a Viking burial mound, indicate the interconnectedness of cultures in this period. Objects such as the Book of Kells and the palace-city of Anjar in present-day Jordan represent significant artistic and cultural achievements; more quotidian items (a bone comb, an oil lamp, a handful of chestnuts) belong to the material culture of everyday life. In their thing-by-thing descriptions, the authors connect each object to both specific local conditions and to the broader influences that shaped the first millennium AD, and also explore their use in modern scholarly interpretations, with suggestions for further reading.

Shifting Cultural Frontiers in Late Antiquity

By: David Brakke,Deborah Deliyannis

Shifting Cultural Frontiers in Late Antiquity explores the transformation of classical culture in late antiquity by studying cultures at the borders - the borders of empires, of social classes, of public and private spaces, of literary genres, of linguistic communities, and of the modern disciplines that study antiquity. Although such canonical figures of late ancient studies as Augustine and Ammianus Marcellinus appear in its pages, this book shifts our perspective from the center to the side or the margins. The essays consider, for example, the ordinary Christians whom Augustine addressed, the border regions of Mesopotamia and Vandal Africa, 'popular' or 'legendary' literature, and athletes. Although traditional philology rightly underlies the work that these essays do, the authors, several among the most prominent in the field of late ancient studies, draw from and combine a range of disciplines and perspectives, including art history, religion, and social history. Despite their various subject matters and scholarly approaches, the essays in Shifting Cultural Frontiers coalesce around a small number of key themes in the study of late antiquity: the ambiguous effects of 'Christianization,' the creation of new literary and visual forms from earlier models, the interaction and spread of ideals between social classes, and the negotiation of ethnic and imperial identities in the contact between 'Romans' and 'barbarians.' By looking away from the core and toward the periphery, whether spatially or intellectually, the volume offers fresh insights into how ancient patterns of thinking and creating became reconfigured into the diverse cultures of the 'medieval.

Feet 'N The Fire

By: Deborah Elise Jones

Trusting God through your pain and suffering at times seems pointless. I often wondered why God allowed me to experience hurt, pain, and discouragement in life. Then suddenly, a nudging of the Holy Spirit quickly reminded me that our pain and suffering sets us up to see God's supernatural working in our lives. When we dwell in Him we will smell like Him. No matter the obstacles we face the sweet smelling fragrance of God's spirit is being perceived and spread all over the earth. This fragrance of life is not something that can be bought in a jar. This sweet smelling fragrance describes our ongoing work as followers of Jesus Christ to those who are saved and smell the death to those who are perishing. The author Deborah Jones presents a refreshment of devotion for your soul. When life circumstances are beyond control it can seem unbearable sometimes. Refreshing your mind heart and soul is significant. May this book encourage you in your life's journey. The lessons, hardships, joys, celebrations, and special moments have been ordained by God and will ultimately lead you to your destination for your purpose in life. Minister Deborah "Debi" Jones' love and heart for Jesus Christ attended Colorado Christian University where she received an Associate's Degree in Biblical Studies. She is also visionary and founder of At His Feet Danz Ministry; as she moves hearts emphasizing God's unfailing love her mission in ministry is to develop teach nourish and maintain relationships by serving as a spiritual link as she is an example following Jesus Christ. Deborah 'Debi" A. Elise Jones is a founding ordained minister of At His Feet Danz Ministry Hughesville, MD. She holds a Associates Degree in Biblical Studies, from Colorado Christian Universities, May 2019. Minister Debi is a native of Washington, D.C., and the eldest of 5. She loves preaching God's Word through dance; it gives her peace when she can release, and be free in God through movement as she communicates to Him in this way. Another major highlight of hers is she loves traveling and enjoying spending quality time with her family. Writing is another form of release for her. Minister Debi encourages herself when she goes back and read what she has put on paper some time ago. Most importantly, she is very inspired when she encourages others when sharing her testimony of her life's story. God was persistent and told her to write. After procrastinating for some time, she was determined to be obedient. Minister Debi embraced writing the book and she is very excited to hear about how it will bless many of God's people.
