The "Alexandria letter," which was written by a first-century Jewish-Christian scribe in Jerusalem, portrays the lives and actions of John the Baptist, Jesus of Nazareth, and Paul of Tarsus, and describes critical early events in the development of Christianity. The Jesus story narrative parallels those of the gospel stories, but is free of content that is not historically supportable, or that is inconsistent with first-century Jewish scripture, religious practice, and tradition. When presented from this perspective, the story that emerges is a fascinating one, and one that sometimes differs dramatically from that of the corresponding biblical texts.Historical fictionGenerated by AIManuscriptsGenerated by AIHistorical fictionManuscriptsHonig George R.1438846BOOK9910163955403321The Alexandria Letter3600643UNINA04255nam 2200793 a 450 991096370660332120251117100003.00-7486-7662-71-299-10558-00-7486-5583-210.1515/9780748655830(CKB)2670000000331180(EBL)1126574(OCoLC)828793402(SSID)ssj0000833250(PQKBManifestationID)12372299(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000833250(PQKBWorkID)10935366(PQKB)10540913(UkCbUP)CR9780748655830(StDuBDS)EDZ0000107567(MiAaPQ)EBC1962136(MiAaPQ)EBC1126574(Au-PeEL)EBL1126574(DE-B1597)616865(DE-B1597)9780748655830(OCoLC)1302163655(EXLCZ)99267000000033118020120910d2012 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierFriendship's shadows women's friendship and the politics of betrayal in England, 1640-1705 /Penelope Anderson1st ed.Edinburgh Edinburgh University Pressc20121 online resource (xii, 291 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Edinburgh Critical Studies in Renaissance CultureEdinburgh critical studies in Renaissance cultureTitle from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 02 Oct 2015).0-7486-5582-4 Includes bibliographical references (p.

It uncovers the latent threat of betrayal lurking within politicized classical and humanist friendship, showing its surprising resilience as a model for political obligation undone and remade. Incorporating authors from Cicero to Abraham Cowley and Margaret Cavendish to Mary Astell, the book focuses on two extraordinary women writers, the royalist Katherine Philips and the republican Lucy Hutchinson. And it explores the ways in which they appropriate the friendship tradition in order to address problems of conflicting allegiances in the English Civil Wars and Restoration. As Penelope Anderson suggests, their writings on friendship provide a new account of women's relation to public life, organized through textual exchange rather than bodily reproduction."
