Paperback. Condizione: Good. This concise intellectual history of the law offers an accessible introduction to the ideas and contexts of law from ancient Babylon to eighteenth-century Europe. Robert W. Shaffern examines a rich array of sources to illuminate ideas about law and justice in Western civilization. He identifies four main sources for traditional jurisprudence-the civilizations of the Fertile Crescent and classical Athens, the legal legacy of ancient Rome, the legal traditions of the Middle Ages, and developments in early modern Europe. By focusing on the recurring issues and historical contexts of the law, the author shows the extensive influence earlier sources had on the later development of Western law. For instance, the ancient code of Hammurabi pledged to obtain justice for the widow and the orphan, a phrase that appeared again in later laws. Also, the tragedies of Aeschylus insisted that private individuals pursue vengeance, but government judiciaries upheld justice, an idea that the early modern European monarchies advanced when they promulgated new codes of criminal law. Additionally, Roman, medieval, and modern jurists all believed that natural law theory served as a rational criterion for legislators and judges. Throughout the span of centuries covered in the text, governments used law to regulate or monopolize the employment of violence. Designed to introduce undergraduates to the significant developments and ideas about the law and justice, this book will be invaluable for courses on the history of law and jurisprudence.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A fisherman from a backwater province of the Roman Empire, he became the rock upon which the Church was built.No figure in early Christianity is more compelling than Simon Peter. In this vivid portrait, Robert W. Shaffern recreates his life from the shores of the Sea of Tiberias to the circus of Nero, revealing a man whose very human failings make his ultimate faithfulness all the more remarkable. Drawing on Scripture, the Apostolic Fathers, and the latest archaeological evidence, Shaffern reconstructs the world Peter inhabited: the bustling fishing economy of first-century Galilee, the fiery upheaval of Pentecost, the fractious Jewish-Christian communities of Antioch and Rome, debates among Jewish religious authorities, the politics of Roman Judaea, and the brutal persecutions that would end his life. Along the way, he illuminates the enduring bond between Peter and Paul, traces Peter's influence in the writings of Clement of Rome and Ignatius of Antioch, and follows the thread of tradition to the bones discovered beneath Bernini's baldacchino in St. Peter's Basilica.…
