Описание: With its expanding legal system and its burgeoning throngs of lawyers, legates, and documents, the papacy of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries has often been credited with spearheading a governmental revolution that molded the high medieval church into an increasingly disciplined, uniform, and machine-like institution. Reimagining Christendom offers a fresh appraisal of these developments from a surprising and distinctive vantage point. Tracing the web of textual ties that connected the northern fringes of Europe to the Roman see, Joel D.
Anderson explores the ways in which Norse writers recruited, refashioned, and repurposed the legal principles and official documents of the Roman church for their own ends. Drawing on little-known vernacular sagas, Reimagining Christendom is populated with tales of married bishops, fictitious and forged papal bulls, and imagined canon law proceedings. These narratives, Anderson argues, demonstrate how Norse writers adapted and reconfigured the institutional power of the church in order to legitimize some of the thoroughly abnormal practices of their native bishops.
In the process, Icelandic clerics constructed their own visions of ecclesiastical order-visions that underscore the thoroughly malleable character of the Roman church's text-based government and that articulate diverse ways of belonging to the far-flung imagined community of high medieval Christendom.

Individuals in modern societies are frequently overwhelmed by choice, from employers, government agencies, utility providers, doctors and financial services. Joel Anderson argues that there is a tendency to misdiagnose the problem as 'too much complexity' or the 'inherent irrationality' of individuals. He outlines the idea of 'autonomy gaps' as an alternative frame of analysis, referring to the gap between the capacities for choice that are presupposed by various institutions or public policies, and the capacity that individuals actually have to make rational choices.
This more dynamic understanding of a key social predicament of modern life requires reconfiguring our understanding of autonomy, clarifying the normative grounds for criticizing autonomy gaps and identifying a range of strategies for closing autonomy gaps or ameliorating their effects.
Joel Anderson's new concept of critical social theory is discussed by interlocutors including Jurgen Habermas, Tom Shakepseare, Amy Allen, Peter John, Catriona MacKenzie and John Christman, closing with a response from Anderson.

The aim of this book is to contemplate just what the essence of Christianity is. The standard assumption many people have about Christianity--namely that is really is nothing more than claims to some sort of "universal moral rule book" that one must obey if one wants to get heaven and avoid hell--is simply wrong. Unfortunately, in this day and age, such a misconception seems to be hallmark of how both Fundamentalist Christians and what I call Fundamentalist Atheists view the Christian faith. Hopefully, this book will help demonstrate just how false that standard view is.
