The Second Church
Author: Ramsay MacMullen
Publisher: Society of Biblical Lit
ISBN: 1589834038
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 1
Book Description
Christianity in the century both before and after Constantine s conversion is familiar thanks to the written sources; now Ramsay MacMullen, in his fifth book on ancient Christianity, considers especially the unwritten evidence. He uses excavation reports about hundreds of churches of the fourth century to show what worshipers did in them and in the cemeteries where most of them were built. What emerges, in this richly illustrated work, is a religion that ordinary Christians, by far the majority, practiced in a different and largely forgotten second church. The picture fits with textual evidence that has been often misunderstood or little noticed. The first church the familiar one governed by bishops in part condemned, in part tolerated, and in part re-shaped the church of the many. Even together, however, the two constituted by the end of the period studied (AD 400) a total of the population far smaller than has ever been suggested. Better estimates are now made for the first time from quantifiable data, that is, from the physical space available for attendance in places of worship. Reassessment raises very large questions about the place of religion in the life of the times and in the social composition of both churches.

The Church and the Second Sex

ISBN:
Category : Feminism
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
This book attempts to contribute to the growing understanding of the dimensions of Catholic antifeminism. Although it proposes no instant remedy for an illness of such proportions, it suggests some perspectives in which a cure may be found. Although its chief concern is the problem as it exists in and is perpetuated by the Catholic Church, it never assumes that prejudice within the Church persists without some support from the secular milieu. Ironically, however, the Church in recent times has been in increasingly evident tension with those movements which have been attempting to liberate women.
