Conclusion - To Sympheron for the advantage of the Gospel to the Many"This book investigates Paul's effort to combat factionalism by his use of the Greco-Roman rhetoric of 'the common advantage' to overcome socio-ethical problems caused by the improper exercise of 'private advantage' in Corinth. Chang examines' the common advantage', first, as a fundamental principle that defined human and societal relationships in the Greco-Roman world. He explores how the neglect and misunderstanding of this principle lay at the root of relational and societal breakdowns. The book further examines Paul's use of the term and demonstrates that, when properly understood and appropriated, the principle of 'the common advantage' is pivotal to keeping societies and relationships dynamic and healthy. Conversely, when common advantage is not functioning and, concomitantly, private advantage is wrongly emphasized at its expense, relational, societal and ecclesiastical breakdowns occur. The book culminates in demonstrating that, for Paul, 'the common advantage' carries missional and salvific implications that override and subvert socio-ethnic boundaries. In this way, otherwise hostile social groups will realize a healthy symbiosis."--Bloomsbury PublishingThis book investigates Paul's effort to combat factionalism by his use of the Greco-Roman rhetoric of 'the common advantage' to overcome socio-ethical problems caused by the improper exercise of 'private advantage' in Corinth.

Resurrecting the long-buried "prehistory" of American mental therapeutics, Mind Games tells the remarkable story of how a widely assorted group of actors-none of them hailing from Vienna or from any other European city-compelled a reluctant medical profession to accept a new role for the mind in medicine. By the time Freud first set foot on American soil in 1909, as Caplan demonstrates, psychotherapy was already integrally woven into the fabric of American culture and medicine.What came to be known as psychotherapy emerged in the face of considerable opposition, much-indeed most-of which was generated by the medical profession itself. Caplan examines the contentious interplay within the American medical community, as well as between American physicians and their lay rivals, who included faith-healers, mind-curists, Christian Scientists, and Protestant ministers. These early practitioners of alternative medicine ultimately laid the groundwork for a distinctive and much heralded American type of psychotherapy. Its grudging acceptance by both medical elites and rank and file physicians signified their understanding that reliance on physical therapies to treat nervous and mental symptoms compromised their capacity to treat-and compete-effectively in a rapidly expanding mental-medical marketplace. Mind Games shows how psychotherapy came to occupy its central position in mainstream American culture.Mental healingUnited StatesHistory19th centuryPsychotherapySocial aspectsUnited StatesPsychotherapyUnited StatesHistory19th centuryMental HealinghistoryPsychotherapyhistoryMental HealingPsychology, SocialCultureHistory, 19th CenturyPsychotherapyBehavioral Disciplines and ActivitiesSpiritual TherapiesPsychologyHistory, Modern 1601-Anthropology, CulturalSociologyBehavior and Behavior MechanismsMind-Body TherapiesBehavioral SciencesAnthropologyPsychiatrySocial SciencesComplementary TherapiesHistoryTherapeuticsHumanitiesPsychiatry - GeneralHILCCPsychiatryHILCCHealth & Biological SciencesHILCCUnited StatesSocial life and customs19th centuryUnited StatesMental healingHistoryPsychotherapySocial aspectsPsychotherapyHistoryMental Healinghistory.Psychotherapyhistory.Mental Healing.Psychology, Social.Culture.History, 19th Century.Psychotherapy.Behavioral Disciplines and Activities.Spiritual Therapies.Psychology.History, Modern 1601-Anthropology, Cultural.Sociology.Behavior and Behavior Mechanisms.Mind-Body Therapies.Behavioral Sciences.Anthropology.Psychiatry.Social Sciences.Complementary Therapies.History.Therapeutics.Humanities.Psychiatry - GeneralPsychiatryHealth & Biological Sciences616.89/00973Caplan Eric1962-1233727DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910495885303321Mind games2865537UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
