Middle English

Oxford Twenty-First Century Approaches to Literature

By: Paul Strohm

These original essays mean to provoke rather than reassure, to challenge rather than codify. Instead of summarizing existing knowledge after the fashion of the now-ubiquitous literary 'companions,' these essays aim at opening fresh discussion; instead of emphasizing settled consensus they direct their readers to areas of enlivened and unresolved debate. Although 'major authors' such as Chaucer and Langland are richly represented, many little-known and neglected texts are considered as well. Analysis is devoted not only to self-sufficient works, but to the general conditions of textual production and reception. Contributors to this collection include some recognized and admired names, but also a good many newer faces: younger scholars whose groundbreaking research is just coming into full view, and whose perspectives will influence the terms of literary discussion in the decades to come. Encouraged to speculate, they have addressed topics that unsettle previous categories of investigation. Each is oriented toward the emergent, the unfinalized, the yet-to-be-done. Each essay stirs new questions and concludes with suggestions for further reading and investigation that will allow readers to extend their own research into the questions it has raised.

Coping with Prejudice

1 Peter in Social-psychological Perspective

By: Paul A. Holloway

Modern social psychology has devoted a significant share of its resources to the study of human prejudice. Most research to date has focused on those groups that exhibit prejudice. However, a number of recent studies have begun to investigate prejudice from the perspective of its targets. These studies have shown prejudice to be a powerful stressor that places unique and costly demands on its targets. They have also identified a number of strategies that targets of prejudice use to cope with their predicaments. These findings hold real promise for scholars of early Christianity, for not only were early Christians frequently the targets of religious prejudice - they were to become its perpetrators soon enough! - but much of what they wrote sought either directly or indirectly to address this problem. In this study, Paul A. Holloway applies the findings of social psychology to the early Christian pseudepigraphon known as 1 Peter. He argues that 1 Peter marks one of the earliest attempts by a Christian author to craft a more or less comprehensive response to anti-Christian prejudice and its outcomes. Unlike later Apologists, however, who also wrote in response to anti-Christian prejudice, the author of 1 Peter does not seek to influence directly the thoughts and actions of those hostile to Christianity, but writes instead for his beleaguered coreligionists, consoling them in their suffering and advising them on how to cope with popular prejudice and the persecution it engendered.

Unveiling the Religion Secret Shaft

By: John Paul Paz Soldan

For Milton Glass, his job as a journalist is his sole passion. Hes always searching for something intriguing or sensational to investigate. That mission is answered when hes in Ecuador accepting an award recognizing his excellent journalistic endeavors. An anonymous patron hires Glass to investigate the murder of Bolivian author, David Charles Millares, a man who created a new paradigm for Bolivian history. Glass discovers that the author held different views of religion and wrote about them in his popular book, Strange Dreams. Glass wonders if Millares was a victim of some fantastic ideology. His investigation leads him around the world, and likely suspects include satanic sects, fanatical Mormons, and bands of international suspects. Throughout the journey, he falls in love with his travel companion, Katya Daz. But on the cusp of identifying the killer, he must confront Nickolay Golomitsky in Zurich who claims to sustain the entire basis to exterminate the Jewish race by stopping Millares new concepts.

The Flames of Rome

A Novel

By: Maier, Paul L.

A madman who murders his way into power lusts for ever-greater glory and domination. A capital city awash with corruption, sensuality, and political intrigue is at the flash point. And caught between the crushing currents of history are a new but growing religious group known as the followers of The Way. Award-winning historian and best-selling author Paul L. Maier has created a compelling style of documentary fiction, using only known historical events and persons to bring to life first-century Rome in all its excess, treachery, and insanity. This is the Rome that the apostle Paul visits, where he’s placed on trial, and which is forever changed by his testimony and witness. Maier takes readers into the courtroom of imperial justice and into the homes of the people struggling with the new faith they’ve encountered to answers questions such as: How did Christianity first reach Rome? Why did Paul have to wait two years for trial and was he condemned or set free? Why does the New Testament account in Acts end so abruptly? Who set fire to Rome and why did Nero persecute Christians so horribly? Following the the family of Flavius Sabinus, mayor of Rome under Nero Maier captures all the drama and tension of the political conflicts that precede and follow the Great Fire of Rome, and the epic political and religious clashes of the world’s capital. This is the sensational story of pagans at their worst—and Christians at their best. Readers won’t want to put it down.

Like Father-Like Sons

Created By Love... ...To Love

By: Paul Bersche,Duane Levick

Our world spins around us, weaving in and out, seemingly out of control. We are dizzy trying to keep up with the changes on all sides. Everything appears to be upside down, backward, steeped in confusion and contradiction. What once was right is now "wrong," and what was wrong is now "right." Caught in this global tornado, we wonder, Is there any meaning to it all? And we ask ourselves the age-old question man has asked since the beginning of time, "Why am I here?"This book is a journey, allowing God to answer those questions for us. He left His "Diary," revealing His plans and desire for us. Starting at the beginning, we allow His Word to unfold His story. We discover that God is love and that He has a plan laid out for us that far surpasses all the confusion and darkness engulfing the world today, a plan open to everyone and that carries a future of joy, purpose, fulfillment, and love. God is indeed our wonderful Fatherlove, and we are His children.The journey of humankind has just begun, a journey of returning to the garden and walking with the Creator--for all eternity."Get ready to be impacted by a theme that will touch a deep place in your heart. It is the theme of "Like Father, Like Sons." Each chapter gave me so much to consider regarding the importance of this theme in our culture today. Brokenness abounds, often because of issues over knowing that we are loved and cherished by our Father in heaven. I consider this book to be so significant for everyone today; every son and every father needs to read this. And every daughter will be blessed in finding a greater love waiting for you. I hope you'll read this through carefully and consider every chapter as written just for you because it was!"Brian SimmonsThe Passion Translation Project 10 | Page

Reading Lucan's Civil War

Reading Lucan's Civil War

A Critical Guide

By: Paul Roche

Born in 39 C.E., the Roman poet Lucan lived during the turbulent reign of the emperor Nero. Prior to his death in 65 C.E., Lucan wrote prolifically, yet beyond some fragments, only his epic poem, the Civil War, has survived. Acclaimed by critics as one of the greatest literary achievements of the Roman Empire, the Civil War is a stirring account of the war between Julius Caesar and the forces of the republican senate led by Pompey the Great. Reading Lucan’s Civil War is the first comprehensive guide to this important poem. Accessible to all readers, it is especially well suited for students encountering the work for the first time. As the editor, Paul Roche, explains in his introduction, the Civil War (alternatively known in Latin as Bellum Civile, De Bello Civili, or Pharsalia) is most likely an unfinished work. Roche places the poem in historical and literary contexts that will be helpful to first-time readers. The volume presents, chapter-by-chapter, essays that cover each of the Civil War’s ten extant books. Five further chapters address topics and issues pertaining to the entire work, including religion and ritual, philosophy, gender dynamics, and Lucan’s relationships to Vergil and Julius Caesar. The contributors to this volume are all expert scholars who have published widely on Lucan’s work and Roman imperial literature. Their essays provide readers with a detailed understanding of and appreciation for the poem’s unique features. The contributors take special care to include translations of all original Latin passages and explain unfamiliar Latin and Greek terms. The volume is enhanced by a map of Lucan’s Roman world and a glossary of key terms.

Chaucer Translator

Examines Chaucer's re-contextualizing of story and the ways in which he re-tailors old texts into new apparel. After a polemical introduction, five chapters reveal Chaucer confronting the implications of Nominalism and Realism to translation in his Canterbury Tales. The next four chapters consider "borrowings" from old texts which are put to modern use in Chaucer's stories. A final chapter sums up Chaucer's style of translation with a look at two translations from Petrarch. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Ancient Rome

An Introductory History

By: Paul A. Zoch

In this revised and expanded edition of Ancient Rome, author Paul A. Zoch presents the history and mythology of Rome, from its legendary progenitor Aeneas to the death of the philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius in 180 c.e. Zoch guides readers through the military campaigns and political developments that shaped Rome’s rise from a small Italian city to the greatest imperial power the world had ever known, and he includes stories about its protagonists—such as Romulus and Remus, Horatius, and Nero—that are often omitted from more specialized studies. In Zoch’s retelling, the events and personalities of ancient Rome spring to life. We witness the long struggle against the enemy city of Carthage. We follow Caesar as he campaigns in Britain, and we observe the ebb and flow of Rome’s fortunes in the Hellenistic East. Emphasizing both the political and moral lessons to be learned from Roman history—and that remain relevant today—Zoch gives readers a narrative that is both entertaining and informative. An afterword takes the history to the fall of the Roman Empire in the West in 476 c.e.

The Julian Basilica

Architecture, Sculpture, Epigraphy

By: Catherine de Grazia Vanderpool,Carolynn Roncaglia,Paul D. Scotton

Early-20th-century explorations of the Roman Forum at Ancient Corinth revealed a massive early imperial building now known as the Julian Basilica. The structure stood on a podium over four meters high, and it dominated the east end of the forum in size, aspect, and function until its destruction in the 4th century A.D. Within it was one of the largest known shrines to the imperial cult and the likely site of the imperial court of law for the Roman province of Achaia. The basilica housed 11 or more large-scale statues most likely to members of the Julio-Claudian family (including Augustus, Augustus's heirs Gaius and Lucius, and arguably Divus Iulius, Germanicus, Nero Caesar, and Claudius), as well as an altar to Divus Augustus and dedications to the genius Augusti, the gens Augusta, and other family members. This richly illustrated volume provides a contextual study of this important building, the remains of which were first published by Saul Weinberg in 1960 (Corinth I.5). Scotton treats the architectural remains, Vanderpool the sculptural remains, and Roncaglia the epigraphical material, each providing extensive catalogues with new photos, in addition to color reconstructions of the basilica and its grand interior.

The Early Christians in Ephesus from Paul to Ignatius

By: Paul Trebilco

The capital city of the province of Asia in the first century CE, Ephesus played a key role in the development of early Christianity. In this book Paul Trebilco examines the early Christians from Paul to Ignatius, seen in the context of our knowledge of the city as a whole. Drawing on Paul's letters and the Acts of the Apostles, Trebilco looks at the foundations of the church, both before and during the Pauline mission. He shows that in the period from around 80 to 100 CE there were a number of different communities in Ephesus that regarded themselves as Christians -- the Pauline and Johannine groups, Nicolaitans, and others -- testifying to the diversity of that time and place. Including further discussions on the Ephesus addresses of the apostle John and Ignatius, this scholarly study of the early Ephesian Christians and their community is without peer.

From Augustus to Nero

An Intermediate Latin Reader

By: Garrett G. Fagan,Paul Murgatroyd

This reader contains selections from Tacitus, Suetonius and Seneca on the first five Roman emperors. They present a dark world of murder, mayhem, debauchery and palace intrigue: Augustus with his firm moral policies and secret adulterous affairs; the sour and depraved Tiberius; the extravagance and madness of Caligula; the slobbering and ineffective Claudius; and Nero with his absurd artistic pretensions. Exciting, horrific and moving, the selections are also valuable for studying style and rhetoric, human nature and the roles of women, imperialism and corruption. The book is aimed at students moving on to genuine, unsimplified Latin prose after completing an introductory Latin course. It contains a useful introduction, detailed notes providing a lot of help with grammar, expression and translation, a full vocabulary, and an appreciation offering historical comment for context and analysis and literary criticism to make the passages come alive as literature and enhance students' perception and enjoyment.
