Kara Boża w Księdze Mądrości nie ma wyłącznie celu karzącego. Analiza logiki pierwszej dygresji (11,15-12,27) pokazuje, iż autor eksponuje cel pedagogiczny kary. Bóg jako Stwórca wszystkich żyjących ...stworzeń nie zadawala się karaniem, lecz poprzez znaki i wymierzoną karę wzywa do nawrócenia i przywrócenia relacji wiary. W artykule analizuje się niektóre wyrażenia zajmujące uprzywilejowaną pozycję w strukturze tekstu (11,5.16.20c), a następnie koncentruje się na bardziej szczegółowym badaniu Mdr 11,21-22, w którym mędrzec tłumaczy motywy Bożej łagodności wobec Egipcjan i Kananejczyków. Zostaje podkreślona w tej części perykopy wszechmoc Boga, który mogąc uczynić jakąkolwiek rzecz wobec grzeszników, cierpliwie wyczekuje ich nawrócenia, będąc pchnięty ku temu przez miłość do wszystkich stworzeń (centralna wypowiedź perykopy). W ten sposób miłość Boga o wymiarze uniwersalnym objawia się jako najgłębsza motywacja łagodności Boga.

In light of the Egyptian uprising in early 2011, understanding the dynamics that are shaping Egyptian politics and society is more crucial than ever as Egypt seeks to re-define itself after the ...Mubarak era. One of the most controversial debates concerns the place of religion in Egypt's political future. This book examines the escalation in religious violence in Egypt since 2005 and the public discourses behind it, revealing some of the complex negotiations that lie behind contestations of citizenship, Muslim-Christian relations and national unity.
Focusing on Egypt's largest religious minority group, the Coptic Orthodox Christians, this book explores how national, ethnic and religious expressions of identity are interwoven in the narratives and usage of the press and Internet. In doing so it offers insights into some of Egypt's contemporary social and political challenges, and recognises the ways that media are involved in constructing and reflecting formations of identity politics. The author examines in depth the processes through which identity and belonging are negotiated via media discourses within the wider framework of changing political realities in Egypt. Using a combination of methodological approaches - including comprehensive surveys and content analysis - the research offers a fresh perspective on the politics of identity in Egypt.
Ancient Egyptian coffins provided a shell to protect the deceased both magically and physically. They guaranteed an important requirement for eternal life: an intact body. Not everybody could afford ...richly decorated wooden coffins. As commodities, coffins also pl ayed a vital role in the daily life of the living and marked their owner's taste and status. Coffin history is an ongoing process and does not end with the ancient burial. The coffins that were discovered and shipped to museums have become part of the National heritages. The Vatican Coffin Project is the first international research project to study the entire use-life of Egyptian coffins from an interdisciplinary perspective. This edited volume presents the first Leiden results of the project focusing on the lavishly decorated coffins of the Priests of Amun that are currently in the collection of the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities. Six chapters, written by international specialists, present the history of the Priests of Amun, the production of their coffins and use-life of the coffins from Ancient Egypt until modern times. The book appeals to the general public interested in Egyptian culture, heritage studies, and restoration research, and will also be a stimulating read for both students and academics.
