The ‘Lost Arian History’ in Late Antique and Medieval Historiography
by Joseph J. ReidyThis book explores the writing of church history during the early Byzantine period, reconsidering the evidence for the nature and authorship of a hypothetical 'Arian' source for many surviving medieval histories of the fourth century. It considers surviving ecclesiastical histories written between the fifth and early thirteenth centuries to draw out commonalities apparently owed to this 'lost' source and discusses attempts by modern historians to reconstruct it. In doing so, it convincingly argues that this 'Arian' material likely belongs not to one work, but three: two chronicles and a martyrology. This book therefore provides a vital reassessment of fourth-century Christian historiography, as well as important insights on chronicle writing in the Middle Ages.

The: A Contrastive Linguistic Study (Routledge Advances in Translation and Interpreting Studies)
by Ali Yunis AldaheshQur’anic idiomaticity, in its all aspects, poses a great deal of challenge to Qur’an readers, learners, commentators, and translators. One of the most challenging aspects of Qur’anic idiomaticity is Qur’anic idiomatic phrasal verbs, where significances of proper Arabic verbs are entirely fused with significances of prepositions following them to produce new significances that have nothing to do with the basic significances of those verbs and prepositions. By examining a corpus of ten of the most influential English translations of the Qur’an, this study scrutinizes how some translators of the Qur’an have dealt with the phenomenon of Qur’anic idiomatic phrasal verbs, the difficulties that they have encountered when translating them into English, and the strategies that they have employed in their attempts to overcome the inherent ambiguity of such expressions and provide their functional-pragmatic equivalents for English readership. The study proposes a working model for analysing and assessing the translation of the Qur’anic idiomatic phrasal verbs and provides a number of theory-based recommendations for translators in general and Qur’an translators in particular.
The: Theories and Experience in/from Asia (Contemporary East Asian Visual Cultures, Societies and Politics)
by Lu PanThis edited volume aims to fill the gap in the research, juxtaposition, and focused discussions in the existing literature on art archives in Asia. Most of the archives included in the book are independent and initiated by individuals, folk groups, or non-profit organizations. In this book, one can trace the dynamics and self-generative capacity in this particular historical and cultural milieu through these “alternative” archives and through the practices of artists and curators who apply their specific understanding of archive to their works. Many chapters resonate with each other in that they capture the experiences shared by many places in Asia. Those experiences could have resulted from the encounter with the Western idea of archive, the influence of the colonial experience, or a memory crisis triggered by the rapid transformation of media, and may serve as a basis for producing archive theories in/from Asia. The book provides an opportunity for the archives in Asia and those who work around them to recognize one another, understand what their colleagues in archival work do, how they do it and what else there is for them to do.
Thea Bowman: In My Own Words
by Thea Bowman Maurice J. NuttSister Thea Bowman spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ as only an African American born in 1937 in Yazoo City, Mississippi, could. Throughout her adult life, she embraced Catholicism and religious life and never abandoned the beautiful gift of her "blackness. " It was her life's mission to share her rich cultural heritage and spirituality in song, prayer, teaching, and preaching. As a child, Thea Bowman converted to Catholicism, and as an adult chose a life as a Franciscan Sister of Perpetual Adoration. As a black religious sister in a predominantly white world, Sister Thea was able to cross cultural boundaries and share her cultural and spiritual gifts while learning and uplifting the cultural gifts of others. This book joyfully expounds the thoughts, memories, and reflections of this devoted Franciscan woman, a proud maiden of Mississippi, a prophetic preacher, and a tenacious teacher.

Her groundbreaking work across the United States and overseas helping people to build interracial bridges during the 1980s has been the subject of numerous articles, books, and TV shows.
Theater des Konsums: Vorstudien für eine Soziologie der Verbraucherbühnen (Konsumsoziologie und Massenkultur)
by Kai-Uwe HellmannDiese Aufsatzsammlung beschäftigt sich vornehmlich mit der Frage, unter welchen Bedingungen die Erfahrung gemacht wird, dass typische Verbraucherrollen, ob Käufer-, Kunden- oder Konsumentenrolle, in kommerziell organisierten Kauf- oder Konsumsituationen unangefochten ausgespielt werden können und den Interaktionsverlauf strukturell wie prozessual wesentlich bestimmen. Denn keineswegs überall, wo Kauf- oder Verbrauchsakte empirisch stattfinden, definieren diese die jeweilige Situation auch in Gänze, so dass nahezu sämtliche Aufmerksamkeit durch die damit verbundenen, kommerziell orientierten Erlebnisse und Handlungen physisch, psychisch und sozial okkupiert wird, bei weitgehender Neutralisierung aller sonstigen Rollenverpflichtungen. Immerhin müssen sich Verbraucherrollen angesichts einer funktional differenzierten Gesellschaft, in der das ständige Management einer Vielzahl von Publikumsrollen unausweichlich ist, die knapp bemessene Aufmerksamkeitsspanne mit zahlreichen weiteren Publikumsrollen teilen. Im Kern geht es bei diesem Konzept darum, kommerziell organisierte Settings zu identifizieren, die wie Gerichte, Kirchen, Klöster, Krankenhäuser, Schulen, Sportstadien usw., bei denen die jeweiligen Inklusionseffekte eine temporäre Transformation der Personen in Folge der Übernahme entsprechender Publikumsrollen auslösen können – nicht zu vergessen temporäre Transformationseffekte im Zuge der aktiven Partizipation an Zeugenvernehmungen, Gottesdiensten, Fastenritualen, Krankenbehandlungen, Unterrichtseinheiten, Sportwettbewerben usw. – funktional Äquivalentes bei der Ausübung von Verbraucherrollen bewerkstelligen. Als prototypisch für solche kommerziell organisierten Settings, hier verkürzt als ‚Verbraucherbühnen‘ bezeichnet, werden in der Konsum- und Serviceforschung übrigens die Freizeitparks der Walt Disney Company behandelt. Dabei erfordert die Erforschung solcher Verbraucherbühnen eine Kombination von Rollen-, Organisations- und Interaktionsanalysen, zudem eine kultur- und mediensoziologische Perspektive, wie sie für das Studium von Verbraucherleitbildern empfehlenswert erscheint. Denn wie schon die soziologische Rollentheorie festgestellt hatte, orientieren sich Rollenspiele immer an gewissen Images, Rationalitätsfiktionen, Stereotypen, d. h. Normen des Rollenverhaltens, die Richtung und Reichweite typischen Rollenverhaltens vorschreiben und anleiten.

Theatre and Residual Culture: J.M. Synge and Pre-Christian Ireland
by Christopher CollinsThis book considers the cultural residue from pre-Christian Ireland in Synge’s plays and performances. By dramatising a residual culture in front of a predominantly modern and political Irish Catholic middle class audience, the book argues that Synge attempted to offer an alternative understanding of what it meant to be “modern” at the beginning of the twentieth century. The book draws extensively on Synge’s archive to demonstrate how pre-Christian residual culture informed not just how he wrote and staged pre-Christian beliefs, but also how he thought about an older, almost forgotten culture that Catholic Ireland desperately wanted to forget. Each of Synge’s plays is considered in an individual chapter, and they identify how Synge’s dramaturgy was informed by pre-Christian beliefs of animism, pantheism, folklore, superstition and magical ritual.
Theatrical Theology: Explorations in Performing the Faith
by Wesley Vander Lugt and Trevor HartTheology is inherently theatrical, rooted in God's performance on the world stage and oriented toward faith seeking performative understanding in the theatre of everyday life. Following Hans Urs von Balthasar's magisterial, five-volume Theo-Drama, a growing number of theologians and pastors have been engaging more widely with theatre and drama, producing what has been recognised as a "theatrical turn" in theology. Theatrical Theology includes essays from thirteen theologians and pastors who have contributed in distinct ways to this theatrical turn and who desire to deepen interdisciplinary dialogue between theology and theatre. The result is an unprecedented collection of essays that embodies and advances theatrical theology for the purpose of enriching theological reflection and edifying the church.
Thecla's Devotion: Narrative, Emotion and Identity in the Acts of Paul and Thecla
by Jd McLartySecond century apocryphal Christian texts are Christian fiction: they draw on the motifs of contemporary pagan stories of romance, travel and adventure to entertain their readers, but also to explore what it means to be Christian. The Thecla episodein the Apocryphal Acts of Paul recounts the conversion of a young pagan woman, her rejection of marriage, her narrow escapes from martyrdom and the end of her story as an independent, ascetic evangelist. In Thecla's Devotion, J.D. McLarty reads the Thecla episode against a paradigm pagan romance, Callirhoe: for both texts the passions are key to the unfolding of the plot - how are unruly emotions to be managed and controlled? The pagan would answer, 'through reason'. This study uses the portrayal of emotion within character and plot to explore the response of the Thecla episode to this key question for Christian identity formation.

Timmana based his work on a popular millennium-old Krishna tale.Theft of a Tree recounts how Krishna stole the wish-granting pārijāta tree from the garden of Indra, king of the gods. Krishna takes the tree to please his favorite wife, Satyabhama, who is upset when he gifts his chief queen a single divine flower. After battling Indra, he plants the pārijāta for Satyabhama—but she must perform a rite temporarily relinquishing it and her husband to enjoy endless happiness.This is the first English translation of the poem, which prefigures the modern Telugu novel with its unprecedented narrative unity.
