Sinossi

Byzantine Calendar explores the intricate timekeeping system of the Byzantine Empire, a blend of Roman administration, Christian liturgy, and astronomical science. More than just a way to track days, the calendar shaped Byzantine identity and governance, influencing everything from agriculture to imperial policy.

 
The book reveals how the Byzantines adapted Roman calendar practices and integrated Christian religious cycles, like the calculation of Easter, into their daily lives. The book delves into the astronomical knowledge used to maintain the calendar's accuracy, linking celestial events to agricultural cycles.

 
The Byzantine calendar wasn't static; it evolved to harmonize imperial power, religious ideology, and scientific understanding. This unique calendrical system offers insights into the Byzantine worldview and the interplay between secular and sacred authority.

 
Beginning with the Roman roots of the Byzantine calendar, the book progresses through the Christianization of timekeeping, and culminates in an exploration of the astronomical knowledge applied to maintain its accuracy. Through original texts and archaeological findings, the book showcases the Byzantine Empire's commitment to harmonizing various aspects of life into a cohesive cultural framework.

Seeking the Straight and Narrow...

Lynne Gerber

Losing weight and changing your sexual orientation are both notoriously difficult to do successfully. Yet many faithful evangelical Christians believe that thinness and heterosexuality are godly ideals—and that God will provide reliable paths toward them for those who fall short. Seeking the Straight and Narrow is a fascinating account of the world of evangelical efforts to alter our strongest bodily desires. Drawing on fieldwork at First Place, a popular Christian weight-loss program, and Exodus International, a network of ex-gay ministries, Lynne Gerber explores why some Christians feel that being fat or gay offends God, what exactly they do to lose weight or go straight, and how they make sense of the program’s results—or, frequently, their lack. Gerber notes the differences and striking parallels between the two programs, and, more broadly, she traces the ways that other social institutions have attempted to contain the excesses associated with fatness and homosexuality. Challenging narratives that place evangelicals in constant opposition to dominant American values, Gerber shows that these programs reflect the often overlooked connection between American cultural obsessions and Christian ones.
