This work begins with the question why 'faith' (pistis/fides) was so important to early Christians that it dominated their earliest writings. It argues that the study of emerging Christian pistis/fides must be interdisciplinary, located in the social practices and mentalites of Hellenistic Judaism and the early Roman empire.
This book offers an assessment of the content, structures and significance of education in Greek and Roman society. Drawing on a wide range of evidence, including the first systematic comparison of literary sources with the papyri from Graeco-Roman Egypt, Teresa Morgan shows how education developed from a loose repertoire of practices in classical Greece into a coherent system spanning the Hellenistic and Roman worlds. She examines the teaching of literature, grammar and rhetoric across a range of social groups and proposes a model of how the system was able both to maintain its coherence and to accommodate pupils' widely different backgrounds, needs and expectations. In addition Dr Morgan explores Hellenistic and Roman theories of cognitive development, showing how educationalists claimed to turn the raw material of humanity into good citizens and leaders of society.
Picture a mid-life crisis; what do you see? A middle-aged man driving a convertible with a new model at his side. The notion seems humorous-until the effects of such a crisis happen to you. When you're the one watching a loved one endure this crisis, your world can turn upside down. Overnight, Teresa Morgan's entire existence was changed. Her normal, family-centered life came crumbling down around her when her husband became consumed with the extreme temptations that a mid-life crisis can present. Here, she tells her story. Walk through the ups and downs of Teresa's life as she struggles with watching her loved one falter, finding a way to cope, and journeying into the bright light of the calm after a storm.
