Slavery and Manumission in the Pre-Constantine Church Abstract This paper looks at the church’s handling of the issue of slavery in the period before Constantine and the officialecognition r of Christianity. The time period is important because Christians had no political authority to end slavery, assuming they wanted to do so. Thus, the aim of the paper is discover how the Church as an institution alleviated the conditions of the slaves and how slaves were treated in the church and examine the relationship of slave to master in the church. This will be accomplished by examining certain doctrines of the faith church leaders applied to these problems as well as ancient understandings of what Paul had written and how it fit into their world and social context, which was the social context of the Bible itself. More specifically, by examining Paul’s letter to Philemon, Ignatius’ Epistle to Polycarp, and the Didache, the paper argues that the early church, using a Scriptural model, worked within its circumstances to ameliorate slaves’ material conditions, to bring all classes of people to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and to ensure that, within the church, all people were treated as equals. -
Blooms Hilton Als
Blooms Hilton Als Taken together, Julian Schnabel’s canvases are a garden illuminated by perception, which is all Gertrude Stein’s “Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose” was about—how we look at what we look at, how to make seeing into words. Schnabel’s masterly Rose Paintings series, exe- cuted in 2015–17, are blooms that will never die on the vine, let alone the vine of thought. The works are a description of the ephemeral—flowers as forces in nature that expire to blossom again. By using materials meant to last—oil, paint, Bondo on wood—Schnabel creates concrete forms out of that which is meant to return to the ground. In these works, he excavates flowers, those captives of time that die with time, and makes them timeless, in pictures that draw on nature to make of it what the artist will—and does. Schnabel makes paintings that are illustrative of his nature. The artist first attracted widespread attention more than three decades ago for work that was unlike anything else, because the Brooklyn-born Schnabel’s point of view has always been unlike anyone else’s. His eye is a rose. In paintings ranging from Self Portrait in Andy’s Shadow (1987) to the Untitled (Chinese Paintings) series (initiated in 2003), the creator worked in a tradition that could not be readily identified because it was his own, an out- growth of his soul. Like flowers that cannot be classified, the Rose paintings come at you from different angles. One painting looks at the roses a little from the left, some are more centered—all of which goes to show how one’s view of a thing can change the thing being observed; our percep- tions change paintings, just as paint changes blank canvas. -
The Iconic Interview with Steve Englehart By: Chris “Chrispy” Barcomb
The Iconic interview with Steve Englehart By: Chris “Chrispy” Barcomb The word “Iconic” doesn’t lend itself just to the name of this Facebook page or Podcast, but it could also be used to describe Steve Englehart’s comic book career. As a writer, he has written just about every character known to comic book fans, for both Marvel and DC, and his career stretched over two decades. Even just recently, Marvel released Captain America Serpents Unite (a one- shot), which features a reprint of Captain America #168 written by Steve Englehart. Steve Englehart’s Captain America run began in 1972 with Captain America #153 and ended in 1975 with Captain America #186. During this run, he introduced characters like William Burnside, Jack Monroe, Solarr, Nightshade, Nomad, and a newly formed Serpent Squad. He also introduced and set the foundation for the Secret Empire. He worked with some legendary comic artists as well, including Sal Buscema, Herb Trempe, and Frank Steve Englehart Robbins. Together they brought us stories about Photo Credit: Picture taken from the Secret Empire, the crazy Captain America of Steve Englehart’s personal website the 1950’s, and the true origin of the Falcon. Read on below to see what Steve Englehart had to say about his time writing Captain America and his thoughts on the character today. 1. How did you get the opportunity to write Captain America for Marvel? I’d been working my way up as a writer, from monster stories to romance stories to, finally, THE BEAST. Evidently, Editor-in-Chief Roy Thomas liked what I was doing, because one day he gave me both CAPTAIN AMERICA and THE DEFENDERS. -

“To Fight the Battles We Never Could”: The Militarization of Marvel’s Cinematic Superheroes by Brett Pardy B.A., The University of the Fraser Valley, 2013 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication Faculty of Communication, Art, and Technology Brett Pardy 2016 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2016 Approval Name: Brett Pardy Degree: Master of Arts Title: “To Fight the Battles We Never Could”: The Militarization of Marvel’s Cinematic Superheroes Examining Committee: Chair: Frederik Lesage Assistant Professor Zoë Druick Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Adel Iskander Supervisor Assistant Professor Michael Ma External Examiner Faculty Member Department of Criminology Kwantlen Polytechnic University Date Defended/Approved: June 16, 2016 ii Abstract The Marvel comics film adaptations have been some of the most successful Hollywood products of the post 9/11 period, bringing formerly obscure cultural texts into the mainstream. Through an analysis of the adaptation process of Marvel Entertainment’s superhero franchise from comics to film, I argue that a hegemonic American model of militarization has been used by Hollywood as a discursive formation with which to transform niche properties into mass market products. I consider the locations of narrative ambiguities in two key comics texts, The Ultimates (2002-2007) and The New Avengers (2005-2012), as well as in the film The Avengers (2012), and demonstrate the significant reorientation of the film franchise towards the American military’s “War on Terror”. While Marvel had attempted to produce film adaptations for decades, only under the new “militainment” discursive formation was it finally successful. -
John Chrysostom on Slavery
John Chrysostom on slavery Chris de Wet Department of New Testament and Early Christian Studies, University of South Africa, Pretoria, South Africa Abstract This article examines John Chrysostom’s (347-407 AD) views on the topic of slavery. His arguments prove to be quite advanced for his time, and still relevant to a modern context. I shall start by briefly describing the different views of slavery in antiquity. This is followed by an in-depth discussion of Chrysostom’s opinion on slavery, which includes an examination of his statements on the social status of the slave, the manumission of slaves and the treatment of slaves. The study concludes with a critique of Chrysostom’s elaborations on the topic of slavery. I shall argue that his delineations are particularly relevant to the modern researcher, since slavery, directly and indirectly, deals with issues of equality, rights and dignity – topics that are frequently debated in the scholarly and popular arenas. Chrysostom is also an indispensible dialogue partner both for the ecclesiastical and biblical sciences. Introduction The aim of this article is to show that John Chrysostom’s (347-407 AD) views on slavery were “ahead of the times” in which Chrysostom lived. In the West, ever since the Enlightenment, slavery has been considered a violation of human rights, with various abolitionist movements throughout the world condemning the practice. However, slavery, as a social institution during the first century AD (which included the rise of the “Jesus Movement”) seems to have been treated as quite a banal subject. This approach to slavery is also present in Christianity and continued until late antiquity (the second to eighth century AD): very few authors petitioned for the manumission of slaves. -

COMMENT THE LAST PRISONERS OF WORLD WAR Ill Margaret M. Mastroberardino I. INTRODUCTION "To the victor belong the spoils of the enemy."2 The Ro- mans exhibited treasures captured from their prisoners; Napo- 3 leon did the same almost two thousand years later. Throughout world history, looting treasures belonging to ene- mies in times of war has been a constant.4 Looting occurred as recently as the Persian Gulf War, where Saddam Hussein re- moved collections of cultural property from Kuwait. At the end of the 19th century, an idea emerged that cultural objects should be protected from armed, military conflict.5 As a result, the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 included provisions designed to "protect cultural institutions, historical monuments and works of art from premeditated seizure, destruction, or damage."6 During World War II, Adolph Hitler and his Nazi soldiers wrought havoc on Europe. In their quest to establish a superior 1 "They are the last prisoners of World War II, about to emerge from the dark rooms where they were locked away 50 years ago."

I authorise the University of Pretoria to reproduce, for the purpose of research, either the whole or any portion of the contents in any manner whatsoever. Signature: Date: MY GRANDMOTHER’S DREAM CATCHERS Mama made these doilies for me, my mother says, as green and blue tightly crocheted works of art fall softly out of the plastic packet she’s kept them in. I see my grandmother sitting in her chair, grey hair escaping from under a white cotton scarf wrapped around her head; her fingers hold the thin steel hook wrapping cotton thread in elaborate patterns, making poor man’s lace, creating circles in the air to catch bad dreams. Her hands are never idle, weaving and spinning a livelihood to keep her family together, her work good enough for even white people, my father says, the patterns out of a secret book in her head dipped in starch and ironed to attention.
