A Generation's Legacy --Notes --Bibliography --IndexThe Final Pagan Generation recounts the fascinating story of the lives and fortunes of the last Romans born before the Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity. Edward J. Watts traces their experiences of living through the fourth century's dramatic religious and political changes, when heated confrontations saw the Christian establishment legislate against pagan practices as mobs attacked pagan holy sites and temples. The emperors who issued these laws, the imperial officials charged with implementing them, and the Christian perpetrators of religious violence were almost exclusively young men whose attitudes and actions contrasted markedly with those of the earlier generation, who shared neither their juniors' interest in creating sharply defined religious identities nor their propensity for violent conflict. Watts examines why the "final pagan generation"-born to the old ways and the old world in which it seemed to everyone that religious practices would continue as they had for the past two thousand years-proved both unable to anticipate the changes that imperially sponsored Christianity produced and unwilling to resist them. A compelling and provocative read, suitable for the general reader as well as students and scholars of the ancient world.Transformation of the classical heritage ;LIII.PaganismRomeChristianity and other religionsRomeRomeReligionancient history.ancient rome.ancient world.christian establishment.christianity.conversion.emperor constantine.emperors.final pagan generation.fourth century history.historical.history of christianity.history.imperial officers.later roman empire.mediterranean history.mobs.pagan practices.pagan sites.pagan temples.political changes.politics.religion.religious changes.religious identities.religious practices.religious studies.religious violence.roman empire.roman history.rome.violent conflict.PaganismChristianity and other religions292.07Watts Edward Jay1975-474080MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787267203321The final pagan generation3779106UNINA04798nam 22007812 450 991014181740332120230621135336.09781922064318 ‡q (ebook)1922064319 ‡q (ebook)97819220643011922064300(CKB)2670000000410016(SSID)ssj0000894226(PQKBManifestationID)11480251(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000894226(PQKBWorkID)10839233(PQKB)10241142(UkCbUP)CR9781922064318(EXLCZ)9781922064318(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/26636(EXLCZ)99267000000041001620130326d2012|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBridging transcultural divides Asian languages and cultures in global highter education /edited by Xianlin Song and Ket Cadman[electronic resource]University of Adelaide Press2012Adelaide :The University of Adelaide Press,2012.1 online resource (xvi, 286 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 02 Oct 2015).Print version: 1922064300 Print version: 9781922064301 Includes bibliographical references.Pt.

The book’s central message is that education for Asian students in Australia, and more broadly in the West, can no longer been seen as a one-way transfer of knowledge, but must be understood as a process of reciprocal learning in which both teachers and students are changed by the experience.Oriental languagesStudy and teaching (Highter)AsiaCivilizationStudy and teaching (Highter)AsiaCivilizationStudy and teaching (Higher)social studiescultural studiespedagogylanguage curriculumchinesetranscultural exchangeindonesianstudy skillsplagiarismasian languagesglobalisationjapaneseaustralian universitiesChinaCritical thinkingInternational studentKanjiOriental languagesStudy and teaching (Highter)495Xianlin SongedtSong XianlinCadman KateUniversity of Adelaide Press,UkCbUPUkCbUP9910141817403321Bridging transcultural divides2160685UNINA
