This title takes a fresh look at this much-debated question, looking at the historical evidence in order to try and understand why pagan aristocrats decided to convert to Christianity.What did it take to cause the Roman aristocracy to turn to Christianity, changing centuries-old beliefs and religious traditions? Michele Salzman takes a fresh approach to this much-debated question. Focusing on a sampling of individual aristocratic men and women as well as on writings and archeological evidence, she brings new understanding to the process by which pagan aristocrats became Christian, and Christianity became aristocratic. Roman aristocrats would seem to be unlikely candidates for conversion to Christianity. Pagan and civic traditions were deeply entrenched among the educated and politically well-connected. Indeed, men who held state offices often were also esteemed priests in the pagan state cults: these priesthoods were traditionally sought as a way to reinforce one's social position. Moreover, a religion whose texts taught love for one's neighbor and humility, with strictures on wealth and notions of equality, would not have obvious appeal for those at the top of a hierarchical society. Yet somehow in the course of the fourth and early fifth centuries Christianity and the Roman aristocracy met and merged. Examining the world of the ruling class--its institutions and resources, its values and style of life--Salzman paints a fascinating picture, especially of aristocratic women. Her study yields new insight into the religious revolution that transformed the late Roman Empire.Christian convertsRomeAristocracy (Social class)Religious lifeRomeChristian sociologyHistoryEarly church, ca. 30-600Electronic books.Christian convertsAristocracy (Social class)Religious lifeChristian sociologyHistory248.240938Salzman Michele Renee166693MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454668603321The making of a Christian aristocracy2142941UNINA05031nam 2200589 450 991079105130332120230803221248.01-908162-69-41-908162-70-8(CKB)2550000001269303(EBL)3416337(SSID)ssj0001215246(PQKBManifestationID)11722649(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001215246(PQKBWorkID)11176878(PQKB)10624791(MiAaPQ)EBC3416337(Au-PeEL)EBL3416337(CaPaEBR)ebr10857324(CaONFJC)MIL587611(OCoLC)923509732(EXLCZ)99255000000126930320140414h20142014 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrCries for help women without a voice, women's prisons in the 1970s, Myra Hindley and her contemporaries /Joanna Kozubska ; cover drawing by Graham SavageHampshire, England :Waterside Press,2014.©20141 online resource (200 p.)Includes index.1-909976-05-9 1-306-56360-7 ""Cover""; ""Copyright and publication details""; ""Contents""; ""About the Author""; ""Architectural Drawings""; ""Acknowledgements""; ""Site plan of the original old Holloway Prison taken from historical drawings made in the 1850's.""; ""List of illustrations""; ""Dedication""; ""Foreword: Lord David Ramsbotham""; ""The Centre" "The hub of the prison with its steel key safe and polished table""; ""Introduction: A Journey through Letters""; ""Cameo 1: A glimpse of a murderer""; ""CHAPTER 1: Joining the Service""""D Wing" "Opera box lobbies with an infinity of little doors""""CHAPTER 2: "Nicks" for Women 1970-1977""; ""CHAPTER 3: Women's Voices""; ""Cameo 2: A glimpse of the "most evil woman in Britain"""; ""A long-term prisoner's cell" "Soft furnishing" and decoration by the occupant""; ""CHAPTER 4: Cries for Help""; ""Holloway Prison, Inner Gate (apparently inspired by Warwick Castle)""; ""CHAPTER 5: "And you the Governor shall hold........""; ""CHAPTER 6: Day by?""; ""Ground floor of F Wing or Borstal Recall sometimes called FDX""""CHAPTER 7: "Day""""Cameo 3: A glimpse of a dying woman sentenced to hang for murder""; ""CHAPTER 8: Friends and Lovers""; ""An example of a letter from Myra Hindley to the author""; ""CHAPTER 9: Families Left Behind""; ""C Wing" "One of the six prison wings, housing the hospital on the first two floors and the remand centre on the third and fourth floors""; ""CHAPTER 10: Rooftops and Barricades, Riots and a Horse Race""; ""Cameo 4: A glimpse of a personal cry?""; ""CHAPTER 11: Will We Have to Call You "Madam?

This was an era when personal style and charismatic leadership were all the rage, before the days of 'new management', when problem-solving meant staff relying on convention and initiative. The book follows the preoccupations of women prisoners, their anxieties and fears: a hidden segment of the population, lacking a voice, lost in a system designed for men that needed to change. They include murderers, prostitutes and those in prison from misplaced loyalty whose stories of survival, relationships, remedies and sometimes regret, are told through their own letters and conversations (including those of moors murderer Myra Hindley who the author supervised). 'I hope that [the prison] authorities in particular will read and reflect on her brutally honest, human and very relevant book': Lord David Ramsbotham Joanna Kozubska was as an assistant governor at Holloway Prison and other custodial establishments for women in the 1970s. She hit the news when borstal girls climbed onto the roof of Holloway demanding that she should not be transferred out and later 'escaped notice' after escorting Myra Hindley out of the gates of Holloway for a headline-making walk on Hampstead Heath.
