Christian Homes - eBook (9789461662101)
Christian ideas on family, religion, and the home in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The cult of domesticity has often been linked to the privatization of religion and the idealisation of the motherly ideal of the 'angel in the house'. This book revisits the Christian home of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and sheds new light on the stereotypical distinction between the private and public spheres and their inhabitants. Emphasizing the importance of patriarchal domesticity during the period and the frequent blurring of boundaries between the Christian home and modern society, the case studies included in this volume call for a more nuanced understanding of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Christian ideas on family, religion, and the home.

Gender and christianity in modern Europe - eBook (9789461661043)
Gender and christianity in modern Europe - eBook (9789461661043)
Case studies upon the use of concepts like feminization and masculinization in relation to christianity. Since the 1970s the feminization thesis has become a powerful trope in the rewriting of the social history of Christendom. However, this 'thesis' has triggered some vehement debates, given that men have continued to dominate the churches, and the churches themselves have reacted to the association of religion and femininity, often formulated by their critics, by explicitly focusing their appeal to men. In this book the authors critically reflect upon the use of concepts like feminization and masculinization in relation to Christianity. By presenting case studies that adopt different gendered approaches with regard to Christian, mainly Catholic discourses and practices, the authors capture multiple 'feminizations' and 'masculinizations' in Europe during the 19th and 20th centuries. In particular, it becomes clear that the idea that Christianity took on 'charicteristically feminine' v…

Charity and Social Welfare - eBook (9789461662286)
Charity and Social Welfare - eBook (9789461662286)
How churches in Northern Europe reinvented their role as providers of social relief. Charity is a word that fits well in the history of religion and churches, whereas the concept of social reform seems to belong more to the vocabulary of the modern welfare states. Christian charity found itself, during the long nineteenth century, within the maelstrom of social turmoil. In this context of social unrest, although charity managed to confirm its relevance, it was also subjected to fierce criticism, as well as to substitute state-run forms of social care and insurance. The history of the welfare states remained all too blind to religion. This fourth volume in the series 'Dynamics of Religious Reform' unravels how the churches in Britain and Ireland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium shaped and adjusted their understanding of poverty. It reveals how they struggled with the 'social question' and often also with the modern nation states to which they belonged. E…

Christian Divination in Late Antiquity - Robert Wisniewski - eBook (9789048541010)
Christian Divination in Late Antiquity - Robert Wisniewski - eBook (9789048541010)
In Late Antiquity, people commonly sought to acquire knowledge about the past, the present, and the future, using a variety of methods. While early Christians did not doubt that these methods worked effectively, in theory they were not allowed to make use of them. In practice, people responded to this situation in diverse ways. Some simply renounced any hope of learning about the future, while others resorted to old practices regardless of the consequences. A third option, however, which emerged in the fourth century, was to construct divinatory methods that were effective yet religiously tolerable. This book is devoted to the study of such practices and their practitioners, and provides answers to essential questions concerning this phenomenon. How did it develop? How closely were Christian methods related to older, traditional customs? Who used them and in which situations? Who offered oracular services? And how were they treated by the clergy, intellectuals, and common people?

Een wedstrijd in menselijkheid - Brian Christian - eBook (9789025436933)
De mens en de computer: wie ontmaskert wie? Hoe de computer ons leert wie wij zijn Elk jaar is er een wedstrijd tussen mens en computer: de Turing Test: mensen zitten te chatten zonder dat ze weten of de antwoorden van een computer komen of van een ander mens. Na een uurtje mogen ze zeggen met wie ze hebben geconverseerd. Tot nu toe heeft de mens steeds gewonnen, maar de computer komt steeds dichterbij. Wat zegt dat over ons? Brian Christian stelt deze vraag aan filosofen en wetenschappers als Douglas Hofstadter, Alain de Botton en Steven Pinker die uitleggen hoe onze taal, hersenen en bewustzijn werken. Hij besluit mee te doen, in een poging om de menselijkste mens te worden: degene die zo vaak mogelijk als mens ontmaskerd wordt. Twee jaar terug was dat een man die eenvoudigweg overal bits op reageerde, maar menselijkheid is meer dan mopperen. Deze test zegt meer over ons dan over de computer: hij laat zien hoe menselijk wij zijn. Hoe grappig, creatief, onvoorspelbaar, humeurig. En ho…

Christian  Oerlemans Op weg naar de Noordkaap
Christian Oerlemans Op weg naar de Noordkaap
Op weg naar de Noordkaap Eind jaren vijftig begon de wereld te veranderen. Jack Kerouacs bestseller On the Road zette hele volksstammen jongeren in beweging. Als je jong was kon je eigenlijk niet meer thuis blijven zitten. Je moest bijvoorbeeld druiven plukken in Frankrijk en bordenwassen in Zweden en het onontkoombare reisdoel was de Noordkaap: daar moest je geweest zijn. Christian Oerlemans en Cees Lantzendörffer, 21 en 23 jaar, besloten na een avontuur op de grote vaart, dan ook af te reizen in hun Citroën Traction Avant Normale, door hen Citney genoemd, naar de Noordkaap. Ze vertrokken op 17 mei 1959 en hielden een levendig en humoristisch dagboek bij. Vijftig jaar later maakt Christian dezelfde reis opnieuw en met de wijsheid van de jaren, maar diezelfde onbevangenheid van toen in zijn observaties, maakt hij er een onderhoudend reisverslag van. De originele foto's van Cees Lantzendörffer brengen het gebied prachtig in beeld. Christian Oerlemans is oud reclamemaker, o.a.
