Hardback. Zustand: Fair. This comprehensive, well-balanced historical survey of medieval Europe--from Roman imperial provinces to the Renaissance--covers all aspects of the history (political, literary, religious, intellectual, etc.) with a focus on social and political themes. It presents a complete picture of the complex process by which an ecumenical civilization that once ringed the basin of the Mediterranean Sea evolved into three other distinctive civilizations--Latin Europe, Greek Eastern Europe and Asia Minor, and Islam. The fourth edition strengthens the emphasis of the book on the nature of the Middle Ages as the formative period in the early history of Europe, from the transformations of the myth of Europa to the formation of landscape and the emergence of a distinctive European civilization. New to this edition: Revision of the treatment of the Roman imperial world and the history of early Christianity in that world. Updated chapters on Islam and discussion of the interaction of western European, Byzantine, and Islamic civilizations. The addition of substantial material on Ireland and Scotland, the calendars of the working and ecclesiastical years, and servitude and freedom. Expansion of the sections on intellectual history dealing with the social impact of thinkers and the treatment of the various crises of the early fourteenth century. Consolidation of the bibliographies into a single running section with topical essays and the addition of sources published as recently as 2003.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. The world's three great monotheistic religions have spent most of their historical careers in conflict or competition with each other. And yet in fact they sprung from the same spiritual roots and have been nurtured in the same historical soil. This book - a comprehensive and approachable comparative introduction to these religions - seeks not so much to demonstrate the truth of this thesis as to illustrate it. Frank Peters takes Judaism, Christianity and Islam and after briefly tracing the roots of each, places them side-by-side to show both their similarities and their differences. Volume I, "The Peoples of God", tells the story of the foundation and formation of the three monotheistic communities, of their visible, historical presence. Volume II, "The Words and Will of God", is devoted to their inner life, the spirit that animates and regulates them. Peters takes us to where these religions live: their scriptures, laws, institutions and intentions; how each seeks to worship God and achieve salvation; and how they deal with their own (orthodox and heterodox) and with others (the goyim, the pagans, the infidels). Throughout, he measures - but never judges - one religion against the other. "The Monotheists" is an authoritative comparison, for students and general readers as well as scholars, of the parties to one of the most troubling issues of today - the fierce, sometimes productive and often destructive, competition among the world's monotheists, the siblings called Jews, Christians and Muslims.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. This impressive volume is actually three histories in one: of the legal procedures, personnel, and institutions that shaped the inquisitorial tribunals from Rome to early modern Europe; of the myth of The Inquisition, from its origins with the anti-Hispanists and religious reformers of the sixteenth century to its embodiment in literary and artistic masterpieces of the nineteenth century; and of how the myth itself became the foundation for a history of the inquisitions.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Invoking a concept as simple as it is brilliant, F. E. Peters has taken the basic texts of the three related--and competitive--religious systems we call Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and has juxtaposed them in a topical and parallel arrangement according to the issues that most concerned all these "children of Abraham." Through these extensive passages, and the author's skillful connective commentary, the three traditions are shown with their similarities sometimes startlingly underlined and their well-known differences now more profoundly exposed. What emerges from this unique and ambitious work is a panorama of belief, practice, and sensibility that will broaden our understanding of our religious and political roots in a past that is, by these communities' definition, still the present. The hardcover edition of the work is bound in one volume, and in the paperback version the identical material is broken down into three smaller but self-contained books. The first, "From Covenant to Community," includes texts and comments on the covenant and early history of the Chosen People and their post-Exilic reconstruction; the career and message of the Messiah Jesus and the Prophet Muhammad; the concept of holiness and of a "kingdom of priests"; and, finally, the notions of church and state and the state as a church. Throughout the work we hear an amazing variety of voices, some familiar, some not, all of them central to the primary and secondary canons of their own tradition: alongside the Scriptural voice of God are the words of theologians, priests, visionaries, lawyers, rulers and the ruled. The work ends, as does the same author's now classic Children of Abraham, in what Peters calls the "classical period," that is, before the great movements of modernism and reform that were to transform Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.…
