Paperback. Condition: Gut. XI, 320 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Lediglich der Einband ist leicht berieben, sonst ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / Only the cover is slightly rubbed, otherwise a good and clean copy without annotations. - In this provocative book, Kee proposes a new historical method that more faithfully interprets religious phenomena by focusing on the world views, attitudes, and feelings of the recorders of events and of the people whose acts they record. He illustrates his method with a detailed study of classical and early Christian attitudes toward the miracle, demonstrating that the meaning of miracle changes with differing cultural climates, literary styles, and values. / CONTENTS Preface Acknowledgments Abbreviations CHAPTER ONE When the Golden Bough Breaks The Decline and Fall of the History-of-Religions Methods Beyond the Issue of Facticity, The Logical and Empiricist Antecedents of Critical-Historical Inquiry, The Subjection of the Divine to Natural Law, The Rise of Historical-Critical Method, The Locus of History: Mind or Fact?, Myth and History, The Focus on Historical Context, The Search for Primal Patterns: Myth versus History, The Escape from History, History as the Transformation of Structures, Anachronistic Reconstruction of the Socio- historical Context, CHAPTER TWO Personal Identity and World-Construction Max Weber's Contribution to Historical Method, Phenomenology and the Recovery of the Life-World, Personal Identity and the Social Perception of Reality, Voluntary Participation and Hostile Powers, The Promise of Order and the Experience of Anxiety, The Jewish Quest for Political and Personal Identity, Are the Gods in Control?, CHAPTER THREE Asklepios the Healer The Origins of Asklepios, Asklepios as Medical and Cult Healer, Asklepios as Benefactor and Personal Guide, Asklepios as Savior: Aelius Aristides, CHAPTER FOUR Isis The Ancient Origins of the Isis Cult, Isis as Agent of Order, Isis as Instrument of Justice, Isis and the Maintenance of Law, Isis and Sarapis, The Praises of Isis, Isis as Benefac tress, Miracle in the Service of the Struggle for Imperial Power, Isis and Mystical Illumination: Lucius Apuleius, Isis in Myth and Symbol: Plutarch, CHAPTER FIVE Miracle and the Apocalyptic Tradition God's Acts in Behalf of His People, Miracle as Sign of the Defeat of Evil Powers, Jesus and His Followers as Agents of Divine Triumph: The Q Source, Through Jesus the New Age is Dawning: Mark, Visions of Conflict and Encouragement to Persevere, Miracle as Sign of the Spirit: Paul, CHAPTER SIX Miracle in History and Romance Roman and Early Christian Sources Portents of Divinely Shaped Destiny, Portent in the Gospel of Matthew, Telling the Story in Graeco-Roman Style: Luke and Acts, The Divine Purpose at Work through History, The Social Implications of Miracle in Matthew and Luke, CHAPTER SEVEN Miracle as Universal Symbol The Transformation of Miracle in the Gospel of John, Miracle as Sign and Symbol, Symbolic Intention in John, Symbol and Myth in Philo and Plutarch, Symbolic Interpretation of Asklepios: Aelius Aristides, CHAPTER EIGHT Miracle as Propaganda in Pagan and Christian Romances Apollonius as Divinely Attested Man of Wisdom: Philostratus, Discrediting Miracle-Workers: Lucian, Celsus, and Eusebius, Miracle as Exploited by Christian Propagandists, The Life-World Implicit in the Romances, CONCLUSION Some Observations about Method in the History of Religion Excursus on the "Divine Man" Index.
