Alexandria: Clement and the True Martyr --Conclusion --Notes --Bibliography --General Index --Index of Modern Authors --Index of Ancient SourcesThe importance of martyrdom for the spread of Christianity in the first centuries of the Common Era is a question of enduring interest. In this innovative new study, Candida Moss offers a radically new history of martyrdom in the first and second centuries that challenges traditional understandings of the spread of Christianity and rethinks the nature of Christian martyrdom itself. Martyrdom, Moss shows, was not a single idea, theology, or practice: there were diverse perspectives and understandings of what it meant to die for Christ.Beginning with an overview of ancient Greek, Roman, and Jewish ideas about death, Moss demonstrates that there were many cultural contexts within which early Christian views of martyrdom were very much at home. She then shows how distinctive and diverging theologies of martyrdom emerged in different ancient congregations. In the process she reexamines the authenticity of early Christian stories about martyrs and calls into question the dominant scholarly narrative about the spread of martyrdom in the ancient world.Anchor Yale Bible reference library.Church historyPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600MartyrdomChristianityPersecutionHistoryEarly church, ca. 30-600Church historyMartyrdomChristianityPersecutionHistory272/.1Moss Candida1978-UkLoBPUkLoBPBOOK9911154583603321UNINA05702oam 22013454 450 991114364840332120251117092704.09781475574715147557471197814755222351475522231(CKB)2670000000278874(EBL)1606974(SSID)ssj0000943954(PQKBManifestationID)11503132(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000943954(PQKBWorkID)10977705(PQKB)11245677(Au-PeEL)EBL1606974(CaPaEBR)ebr10627095(OCoLC)870245007(IMF)WPIEE2012221(IMF)WPIEA2012221(MiAaPQ)EBC1606974WPIEA2012221(EXLCZ)99267000000027887420020129d2012 uf 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe Trade Impact of China on EMU : Is It Even Across Members? /Esther Perez Ruiz, Uffe Mikkelsen1st ed.Washington, D.C. :International Monetary Fund,2012.1 online resource (26 p.)IMF Working PapersDescription based upon print version of record.9781475550443 1475550448 9781475510287 1475510284 Includes bibliographical references.Cover; Contents; I.

Adjustment via Higher Trade Deficits; Appendix: Sample and Data; Table; Table A1: Sectors; ReferencesThis paper investigates the asymmetries in trade spillovers from sector-specific technology shocks in China to selected euro area countries. We use a Ricardian-gravity trade model to estimate sectoral competitiveness in individual euro area countries. Simulations on the impact of productivity shocks in Chinese textiles and machinery suggest that the required adjustment in wages, prices, and factor re-allocation is widely heterogenous across euro area countries on accounts of their different specialization patterns. This raises the question of the distribution of gains and losses from external trade shocks.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2012/221International tradeBalance of tradeimfCompetitionimfEmpirical Studies of TradeimfExports and ImportsimfExportsimfFinanceimfFinance: GeneralimfFinancial marketsimfGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)imfGeneral issuesimfIncome economicsimfInnovationimfIntellectual Property Rights: GeneralimfInternational economicsimfInternational tradeimfLaborimfLabourimfNeoclassical Models of TradeimfResearch and DevelopmentimfSize and Spatial Distributions of Regional Economic ActivityimfTechnological ChangeimfTechnologyimfTrade deficitsimfTrade: GeneralimfWagesimfWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: Generalimfgeneral issuesimfincome economicsimfEuropean Economic Community countriesCommerceChinaCommerceChina, People's Republic ofimfInternational trade.Balance of tradeCompetitionEmpirical Studies of TradeExports and ImportsExportsFinanceFinance: GeneralFinancial marketsGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)General issuesIncome economicsInnovationIntellectual Property Rights: GeneralInternational economicsInternational tradeLaborLabourNeoclassical Models of TradeResearch and DevelopmentSize and Spatial Distributions of Regional Economic ActivityTechnological ChangeTechnologyTrade deficitsTrade: GeneralWagesWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: Generalgeneral issuesincome economics332.1/52Pérez Esther(Pérez-Ruiz)Mikkelsen UffeDcWaIMFBOOK9911143648403321UNINA
