Download Churches and Monasteries in Jerusalem Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The biblical city of Jerusalem played a significant role in the origination of Christianity. According to the scriptures, Jesus visited the Jewish temple there as a youth. Many years later, it was in Jerusalem where He ate the Last Supper with His disciples before being arrested and tried by Roman Procurator Pontius Pilate, who sentenced Him to crucifixion. Jesus died and was buried just outside the city walls, rose there from the dead and, forty days later, ascended to Heaven from nearby Mount of Olives. Jerusalem is also where some of the disciples received inspiration from the Holy Spirit in a gathering that is considered to be the founding of the Christian Church, and where it is said that Jesus Christ will return in the Second Coming. “Churches and Monasteries in Jerusalem” is devoted to twenty ancient houses of worship that were built over the ages to commemorate the decisive milestones of Jesus’s time in Jerusalem and that underscore Christianity’s ongoing relationship with the sacred city. This volume is based in part on chapters from the authors’ book, "Churches and Monasteries in the Holy Land." The original text has been expanded to include new, previously unpublished sections, and more stunning photographs have been added to illuminate the content.

Download Latin and Greek Monasticism in the Crusader States Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Monasticism was the dominant form of religious life both in the medieval West and in the Byzantine world. Latin and Greek Monasticism in the Crusader States explores the parallel histories of monasticism in western and Byzantine traditions in the Near East in the period c.1050-1300. Bernard Hamilton and Andrew Jotischky follow the parallel histories of new Latin foundations alongside the survival and revival of Greek Orthodox monastic life under Crusader rule. Examining the involvement of monasteries in the newly founded Crusader States, the institutional organization of monasteries, the role of monastic life in shaping expressions of piety, and the literary and cultural products of monasteries, this meticulously researched survey will facilitate a new understanding of indigenous religious institutions and culture in the Crusader states.
