Perversion Pedagogy and the Comic A Survey of the Concept of Theatre in the Christian Middle Ages

Perversion Pedagogy and the Comic A Survey of the Concept of Theatre in the Christian Middle Ages

Perversion Pedagogy and the Comic studies how the idea-of-theater shaped western consciousness during the Christian Middle Ages. It analyses developments within western philosophy Christian theology and theater history to show how this idea realized itself primarily as a metaphor circulating through various discursive domains. Beginning with Plato’s injunction against tragedy the relation between philosophy and theater has been a complicated affair which this book traces at the threshold when the western world became Christian. By late antiquity as theatre was slowly banned Christian theology put the idea-of-theatre to use in order to show what they understood to be the perverted nature of worldly existence and the mystery of the Kingdom of God. Interrogating the theological teachings of some of the early Church Fathers like St Augustine Tertullian and Clement of Alexandria the book offers a new look at how the idea of theater not only inspired Christian liturgical practices but Christian pedagogy in general which in turn shaped the nature of Christian religious drama. Finally the author tries to demonstrate how this hegemonic use of the theatre-idea was countered by a certain comic sensibility which opened the idea of theatre in the Christian Middle Ages to a new and subversive materialist possibility.

Christianity Ethics and the Law The Concept of Love in Christian Legal Thought

Christianity Ethics and the Law The Concept of Love in Christian Legal Thought

This book examines how Christian love can inform legal thought. The work introduces love as a way to advance the emergent conversation between constructive theology and jurisprudence that will also inform conversations in philosophy and political theory. Love is the central category for Christian ethical understanding. Yet the growing field of law and religion and relatedly law and theology rarely addresses how love can shape our understanding of law. This reflects in part a common assumption that law and love stand in necessary tension. Love applies to the private and the personal. Law by contrast applies to the public and the political realms governed by power. It is thus a mistake to envisage love as having anything but a negative relationship to law. This conclusion continues to govern Christian understandings of the meaning and vocation of law. The animating idea of this volume is that the concept of love can and should inform Christian legal thought. The project approaches this task from the perspective of both historical and constructive theology. Various contributions examine how such thinkers as Augustine Aquinas and Calvin utilised love in their legal thought. These essays highlight often neglected aspects of the Christian tradition. Other contributions examine Christian love in light of contemporary legal topics including civility forgiveness and secularism. Love the book proposes not only matters for law but can transform the terms on which Christians understand and engage it. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of legal theory; law and religion; law and philosophy; legal history; theology and religious studies; and political theory. | Christianity Ethics and the Law The Concept of Love in Christian Legal Thought

Performing for the Don Theaters of Faith in the Trump Era

Performing for the Don Theaters of Faith in the Trump Era

This volume examines the intersection of political power and religion during the presidency of Donald Trump through an examination of performance. This study begins with an examination of white evangelical Christian support for Trump through readings of the 2018 film The Trump Prophecy based on a book of the same name and The Faith of Donald J. Trump a spiritual biography of the former president by veteran Christian reporters David Brody and Scott Lamb. White evangelicals Christianized Trump during his run for office in 2016 and Trump’s ascension to the presidency broke down barriers between church and state in service of dominionistic Christian aims. This exploration then looks at the conservative Catholicism through an exploration of Heroes of the Fourth Turning a finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama by Will Arbery and Rod Dreher’s The Benedict Option. While Trump’s connection to evangelicals is well documented conservative Catholics like Attorney General Bill Barr and Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett took on pivotal roles during the Trump administration demonstrating the significance of conservative Catholicism to his presidency. The author finally examines the cult of Trump on the internet by interrogating the performance of spirituality in pro-Trump conspiracy theories like QAnon. This book will be of great interest not only to theatre and performance studies scholars but also scholars with interests in political and religious studies. | Performing for the Don Theaters of Faith in the Trump Era

The Visual Rhetoric of the Married Laity in Late Antiquity Iconography the Christianization of Marriage and Alternatives to the Ascetic Ideal

The Visual Rhetoric of the Married Laity in Late Antiquity Iconography the Christianization of Marriage and Alternatives to the Ascetic Ideal

This study examines third- and fourth-century portraits of married Christians and associated images reading them as visual rhetoric in early Christian conversations about marriage and celibacy and recovering lay perspectives underrepresented or missing in literary sources. Historians of early Christianity have grown increasingly aware that written sources display an enthusiasm for asceticism and sexual renunciation that was far from representative of the lives of most early Christians. Often called a “silent majority ” the married laity in fact left behind a significant body of work in the material record. Particularly in and around Rome they commissioned and used such objects as sarcophagi paintings glass vessels finger rings luxury silver other jewellery items gems and seals that bore their portraits and other iconographic forms of self-representation. This study is the first to undertake a sustained exploration of these material sources in the context of early Christian discourses and practices related to marriage sexuality and celibacy. Reading this visual evidence increases understanding of the population who created it the religious commitments they asserted and the comparatively moderate forms of piety they set forth as meritorious alternatives to the ascetic ideal. In their visual rhetoric these artifacts and images comprise additional voices in Late Antique conversations about idealized ways of Christian life and ultimately provide a fuller picture of the early Christian world. Plentifully illustrated with photographs and drawings this volume provides readers access to primary material evidence. Such evidence like textual sources require critical interpretation; this study sets forth a careful methodology for iconographic analysis and applies it to identify the potential intentions of patrons and artists and the perceptions of viewers. It compares iconography to literary sources and ritual practices as part of the interpretive process clarifying the ways images had a rhetorical edge and contributed to larger conversations. Accessibly written The Visual Rhetoric of the Married Laity in Late Antiquity is of interest to students and scholars working on Late Antiquity early Christian and late Roman social history marriage and celibacy in early Christianity and early Christian Roman and Byzantine art. | The Visual Rhetoric of the Married Laity in Late Antiquity Iconography the Christianization of Marriage and Alternatives to the Ascetic Ideal
