Religious Diversity in the Graeco-Roman World

Religious Diversity in the Graeco-Roman World

Dan Cohn-Sherbok; John M. Court

T. T.Clark Ltd
2005
nidottu
Over the last hundred years there has been a great deal of interest in the nature of religious diversity in the Graeco-Roman World and a variety of scholars have attempted to untangle the complexities of reliogious interaction and conflict. For students of this period there is a need for an introduction to this vast field of scholarship. This book makes a comprehensive survey of this field of enquiry.The first three chapters deal with Judaism: Palestinian Judaism, Diaspora Judaism and Essenes. Philip Esler's account of Palestinian Judaism draws particular attention to the introduction of the analytic methods of social-scientific research to religious research. The next three chapters form a triptych of studies on Christianity, examining in turn the Jesus of history, the apostle Paul, and the early church The final group of three contributors are concerned with religious diversity within the pagan and syncretistic phenomena of the Roman world, treating political, philosophical and practical aspects in the legacy of Greek religion, in Gnosticism, and in Mithraism as an example of the Mystery Religions.

Modern Shakespeare Offshoots

Modern Shakespeare Offshoots

Ruby Cohn

Princeton University Press
2015
pokkari
Shakespeare's plays have never had a larger audience than they do in our time. This wide viewing is complemented by modern scholarship, which has verified and elucidated the plays' texts. Nevertheless, Shakespeare's plays continue to be revised. In order to find out how and why he has been rewritten, Ruby Cohn examines modern dramatic offshoots in English, French, and German. Surveying drama intended for the serious theater, the author discusses modern versions of Shakespeare's plays, especially Macbeth, Hamlet, King Lear, and The Tempest. Although the focus is always on drama, contrast is supplied by fiction stemming from Hamlet and essays inspired by King Lear. The book concludes with an assessment of the influence of Shakespeare on the creative work of Shaw, Brecht, and Beckett. Originally published in 1976. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

Going Widdershins

Going Widdershins

Sherrye Cohn

Repertoire Publishing
2018
nidottu
Set in the year 1958, Going Widdershins is the bittersweet tale of mystery, love, yearning and transformation. When Emilena Lamb, having no prior history of medical or mental problems, arrives at a psychiatric hospital in a catatonic stupor, her condition defies diagnosis. What catastrophe could have provoked this sudden crisis? And how can it be treated when its cause remains unknown? Tith this opening gambit, Sherrye Cohn hooks the reader and then chases its resolution by going backward in time, allowing us to see Emilena through the eyes of those who knew her before that fateful day. When she does not improve during her first month in hospital, she is transferred to Summerland, a residential facility for female hysterics run by the sexy, older and eccentric May Manley. Here the law of gravity does not apply, as May employs such unorthodox therapies as lunar observation, sacred drumming, herbal elixirs and skipping, said to be "better than any anti-depressant." Problems arise when the in-house psychiatrist, despite being attracted to May, ridicules her therapies as "voodoo" and the visiting chaplain scorns the nature religion on which they are based. As time goes by, Summerland works its magic in unexpected ways, touching the lives of all those who come under its spell. A delightful and thought-provoking read, Going Widdershins spotlights one of life's big questions: Who are we really and how do we become who we really are?
