    Francis Of Assisi Chapter Summary

    In his book, Francis of Assisi, William R. Cook seeks to provide a better understanding of St. Francis of Assisi as an individual rather than in conjunction with the order he founded. Cook divides the book into six sections, each section concentrating on an important aspect or experience in Francis= life and spirituality. The six sections focus on his conversion; his relationship to the created world; the creation of the Christmas crib at Greccio; the role of learning; the relationship between the active and contemplative life; and his stigmatization at LaVerna in 1224.(pg. 18) In order to provide a general understanding I believe that these six sections can be narrowed down into three major themes that Cook sets forth; full surrender to God, a balance between world and self through an understanding of God=s will, and the importance of experiencing scripture over studying it. To support these themes Cook utilizes a number of reliable resources, both written and visual.…

    Flippo Brunelleschi's Building Of The Cathedral

    I have chosen to research Filippo Brunelleschi's design of the dome for Florence's cathedral. The referenced article dives into the history of Brunelleschi's building of the Florence cathedral, how he did it and the obstacles along the way. The founders of Florentine wanted to have a dome roof built on their cathedral, something that would symbolize the wealth of the city, but nobody knew how it would be done. A dome of this size was never attempted before. A contest was held, and Brunelleschi was elected to erect the massive structure, which was finally finished after 20 years of work. Brunelleschi had studied all sorts of artistic things like wood carving and painting, but also mechanics, too. He was known as a clockmaker. By combining what…

    Accommodation of Romanesque Church Architecture to the Pilgrim

    Prior to the eleventh century the only people who made pilgrimages were remorseful Christians who had to atone for their sins. Because of this, there was no need for huge churches because they didn 't need to accommodate mass numbers of people. However, the eleventh century brought an established need for any devoted Christian to make a pilgrimage. (Adams, 379) Romanesque church architecture flourished at approximately the same time as the eruption of these pilgrimages. Due to this, the Romanesque architects had to construct churches big enough for the abundance of pilgrims. (Adams, 382) These churches also had to accommodate the community of monks, whose numbers were probably still on the increase, to assemble for the divine office seven times per day. (Bultez, D.)…

    Gregory VII: Dictatus Papae 1090

    Gregory VII: Dictatus Papae 1090

    The primary source “Gregory VII: Dictatus Papae 1090” is a list of principals which was included to the Pope’s register in the year 1075. The origin of the Dictatus Papae is highly debatable since it is unknown; some believe it was written by Gregory VII himself, while others believed it had a completely different origin. The meaning of “dictatus” is principles that should be obeyed. So I find the naming of the Dictatus Papae very appropriate since it is exactly that, a list of principles for the Pope. This documentation of rules shows how much power the pope had in the 11th century in Europe, that it had to be regulated.…

    The Medieval Church

    The Medieval Church played a far greater role in Medieval England than the Church does today. In Medieval England, the Church dominated everybody's life. All Medieval people - be they village peasants or towns people - believed that God, Heaven and Hell all existed. From the very earliest of ages, the people were taught that the only way they could get to Heaven was if the Roman Catholic Church let them. Everybody would have been terrified of Hell and the people would have been told of the sheer horrors awaiting for them in Hell in the weekly services they attended.…

    Arch of Constantine

    After many years of war, Constantine’s army finally defeated the over-powering army of Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312 AD. With this victory, much needed peace was brought to the Roman Empire. In order to venerate Constantine’s grand conquest, the Senate of Rome honored him with a triumphal arch just 3 years later. This arch is said to be the oldest obtainable arch in Rome made with spolia (See fig.1). The arch, positioned in the valley of the Colosseum between the Palatine Hill and the Colosseum, is the largest of only three arches to endure in Rome today.…

    Members of the Orthodox Church, marriage are a very solemn occasion. They take is to be a sacrament between two members of Christ’s bond (the church).
