Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A range of apocryphal and pseudepigraphic texts from Late Antiquity points to the importance of Sunday as a holiday for baptized Christians. First and foremost is the so-called Letter from Heaven, which has experienced a broad and long-lasting reception up to modern times, although it was also criticized as a forgery from its beginning. Unfortunately, these texts have not received sufficient attention so far.This volume presents various versions of the Letter from Heaven, as well as other texts (the pseudepigraphic Acts of the Synod of Caesarea; pseudepigraphic sermons of Eusebius of Alexandria, John Chrysostom, and Basil of Caesarea; passages from the Didascalia or Diataxis of Jesus Christ; the Second Apocryphal Apocalypse of John; the Visio Pauli; a sermon of Sophronius of Jerusalem; and the Apocalypse of Anastasia), together with a translation and commentary. An introduction tells the story of this letter and integrates it and the other texts into the cultural history of Sunday. It becomes clear that Sunday as a day of rest and a feast day was not in the foreground of the development of an ecclesiastical festival calendar for a long time, although Emperor Constantine enacted a law on holiday rest on Sunday in 321 CE. Sunday, rather, marks the end of the Christianization of time and the calendar, when Easter, Pentecost, Christmas, and martyrs' feasts were already taken for granted. The authors of these texts obviously wanted to accelerate this process, which is why an anonymous person even resorted to presenting Christ himself as the author of this letter. Here, severe punishments are threatened to all who do not observe Sunday, who work as if it were a weekday, and who skip worship. The broad tradition shows that the letter was read and distributed despite all the criticism, and was even turned into an early form of a chain letter. The overriding importance of Sunday as a Christian feast day is emphasized by many apocryphal and pseudepigraphic texts from Late Antiquity, above all the broadly received Letter from Heaven. This volume presents versions of this letter together with other texts, partly based on a new edition, including introduction, translation, and commentary.

Paperback. Condition: New. Die zwanzig Beiträge des Sammelbandes gehen auf eine von Uta Heil und Volker Drecoll veranstaltete Tagung zu "Formation of European Christianity in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages" in Wien 2017 zurück. Sie stellen wichtige theologische Diskurse und Entscheidungen vor, die Kirche, Gesellschaft und Regentschaft prägten, und behandeln die zeitgenössischen Vorstellungen von Ethnien und Regionen, die Bedeutung des gehobenen Lateins, erkennbare Prozesse des Textedierens, die Art und Weise sowie den Inhalt der Debatten über die Trinität und Christologie, die Bedeutung einer Abgrenzung vom Judentum sowie die Bekenntnisbildung und Theologievermittlung in Liturgie und Katechese. Der Band beschreibt also, wie während des Übergangs von der Spätantike zum Frühmittelalter der geographische Raum Europa christlich und das Christentum europäisch wurde.Die Autoren sind: Hanns Christof Brennecke, Carmen Cardelle de Hartmann, Volker Drecoll, Wolfram Drews, Benjamin Gleede, Uta Heil, Yitzhak Hen, Wolfram Kinzig, Jan-Markus Kötter, Walter Pohl, Richard Price, Irene van Renswoude, Els Rose, Christoph Scheerer, Fabian Schulz, Roland Steinacher, Günter Stemberger, Mark Vessey, Andreas Weckwerth, Clemens Weidmann und Ian Wood.
