Book excerpt: This book contains 15 papers which were presented by specialists from Europe and Egypt at two conferences held at Ain Shams University, Egypt, in 2014 and 2015. Eight of the articles deal with the history of Late Antique Egypt in its manifold aspects, from monasticism and Coptic manuscripts, to the organization of the Arab conquest. The other seven contributions provide new writings from that historical period published here for the first time, or give new readings of texts earlier known as inscriptions, papyri and ostraca, and offer a close-up look at the historical setting outlined in the first part of this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this well-documented and clear study, the history of Christianity in Egypt is discussed. It critically and attractively focuses on early Egyptian Christianity, from its earliest recorded origins to the Council of Chalcedon in 451 CE. That was the moment, after the separation from the Catholic University, when the Egyptian Coptic Church became the national religion. During this period, we observe the development of features unique to Egyptian Christianity, such as the imposition of Catholic ecclesiasticism in Alexandria and southward, and the presence of forces that would lead to the establishment of a national religion. This study will greatly contribute to an increased understanding of early Egyptian Christian history and the manner in which that religion was dispersed in other countries. It also adds to the understanding of the general history of early Christianity.

Book excerpt: While the first American edition of this book, published more than a decade ago, was a revised translation of the German book, Einführung in das Neue Testament, this second edition of the first volume of the Introduction to the New Testament is no longer dependent upon a previously published German work. The author hopes that for the student of the New Testament it is a useful introduction into the many complex aspects of the political, cultural, and religious developments that characterized the world in which early Christianity arose and by which the New Testament and other early Christian writings were shaped.

Book excerpt: This in-depth examination of the life, history, and influence of Muhammad as discussed by leading scholars provides a wide-ranging look at the prophet's legacy unlike any other in the field of Islamic and culture studies. Within the Islamic world, the prophet Muhammad's influence is profound. But even outside of the religion of Islam, this visionary had a wide-ranging impact on history, society, literature, art, philosophy, and theology. Within this work's more than 200 A–Z entries, internationally recognized scholars summarize views of Muhammad from the earliest editors of the Qu'ran to contemporary Muslim theologians. This detailed resource explores the traditions, ceremonies, and beliefs of Islam as they have spread worldwide, and examines Muhammad's role in other religious traditions as well as the secular world. Muhammad in History, Thought, and Culture: An Encyclopedia of the Prophet of God distills 14 centuries of thinking about Muhammad, fully capturing his enduring legacy. This encyclopedia will benefit any reader seeking a greater understanding of the founder of Islam, the fastest-growing religion in the world. No other publication discusses Muhammad at such a high level of detail while remaining easily accessible to non-specialist, Western audiences.

Book excerpt: Christian Thought took shape during millennia when religion and politics where still the same. During the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius it began to spread as a movement of protest against the Roman cult of emperor deification. Prehistoric chiefs among Stone Age hunters already knew themselves to be sons of totemic gods- Eagle, Bear, Lion, Wolf, Dragon and more. Sons of less specialized deities invented agriculture, while hunters and herdsmen, as warriors, progressed to "hyper-domestication"-Sons of the mightiest gods proceeded to enslave humankind. Christians tell their story about God Father Almighty who sent his Son, who died by Roman crucifixion, resurrected and ascended into Heaven, for enthronement there. The Christian story mocked and topped religious as well as political paths to salvation. Three thousand years of Son of God tradition were rendered obsolete-Egyptian, Persian, Greek, and Roman-were replaced by the only-begotten Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth, an oil-anointed commoner. Three centuries after Jesus was crucified, the Emperor Constantine, presiding over all religions of Rome as Pontifex Maximus, began to favor Christianity. Thenceforth Christians in Western civilization, as "siblings of Jesus Christ" and as "equal children under God Almighty" have, by their faith, risen to the "level of royalty" where in later democratic revolutions their secularized offspring still could insist on equal status for all humankind.
