  • Melania: Early Christianity through the Life of One Family by Catherine M. Chin and Caroline T. Schroeder

    Melania: Early Christianity through the Life of One Family

    Catherine M. Chin and Caroline T. Schroeder

    Melania the Elder and her granddaughter Melania the Younger were major figures in early Christian history, using their wealth, status, and forceful personalities to shape the development of nearly every aspect of the religion we now know as Christianity. This volume examines their influence on late antique Christianity and provides an insightful portrait of their legacies in the modern world. Departing from the traditionally patriarchal view, Melania gives a poignant and sometimes surprising account of how the rise of Christian institutions in the Roman Empire shaped our understanding of women’s roles in the larger world.

  • Andrew, Acts of by Caroline T. Schroeder

    Andrew, Acts of

    Caroline T. Schroeder

    One of several early Christian Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles, the Acts of Andrew narrates the exploits and death of one of the disciples in the years following Jesus' resurrection. According to the canonical Gospels, Andrew was Peter's brother. The Acts of Andrew was popular in Antiquity. It was mentioned in a Manichaean psalmbook and by Christian authors as early as Origen. It was dismissed as heretical by church historian Eusebius.

  • Antony by Caroline T. Schroeder

    Antony

    Caroline T. Schroeder

    Antony (251–ca. 356 ce) was an influential monk of early Christianity, who is often considered the father of anchoritic monasticism. His rigorous asceticism contributed to an enduring reputation for holiness during his own lifetime, which only increased after his death with the publication of the popular Life of Antony by Athanasius of Alexandria. Christian monastics in Catholic and Orthodox traditions have viewed him as an exemplar and a model for imitation. Antony's story has influenced Western culture and has been portrayed in art and literature by Rubens, Flaubert, and others.

  • Apopthegmata Patrum by Caroline T. Schroeder

    Apopthegmata Patrum

    Caroline T. Schroeder

    The Apophthegmata Patrum consists of collections of sayings attributed to fourth and fifth century Christian monks, primarily in Egypt. Originating as oral traditions, these “sayings of the fathers” were compiled and written down during the fifth and sixth centuries in Palestine. As the introduction to the Alphabetical Collection explains, the traditions were recorded to provide models for later monks who wished to imitate early ascetics. The Apophthegmata has informed Christian monastic spirituality and practice from the Late Antique period to modernity, influencing figures from Benedict of Nursia to Thomas Merton.

  • Pachomius by Caroline T. Schroeder

    Pachomius

    Caroline T. Schroeder

    Pachomius (292–346 ce) was a Christian monk in Egypt who is often credited with founding coenobitic monasticism.

This edition, based on all known tablets of the poem, offers the most complete text of Ludlul to date. Building on a half century of research and discovery, the editors incorporate previously unknown lines of the poem and establish the proper ordering of the material in Tablet IV. The edition includes an extensive introduction, the reconstructed text in cuneiform and transliteration, a translation, and a glossary and sign list. Assyriologists and biblical scholars alike will welcome this long overdue edition of the Babylonian Job.
