"With the rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire increasing numbers of educated people converted to this new belief. As Christianity did not have its own educational institutions the issue of how to harmonize pagan education and Christian convictions became increasingly pressing. Especially classical poetry, the staple diet of pagan education, was considered to be morally corrupting (due to its deceitful mythological content) and damaging for the salvation of the soul (because of the false gods it advocated). But Christianity recoiled from an unqualified anti-intellectual attitude, while at the same time the experiment of creating an idiosyncratic form of genuinely Christian poetry failed (the sole exception being the poet Commodianus). In The Baptized Muse: Early Christian Poetry as Cultural Authority, Karla Pollmann argues that, instead, Christian poets made creative use of the classical literary tradition, and - in addition to blending it with Judaeo-Christian biblical exegesis exploited poetry's special ability of enhancing communicative effectiveness and impact through aesthetic means. Pollman explores these strategies through a close analysis of a wide range of Christian, and for comparison partly also pagan, writers mainly from the fourth to sixth centuries. She reveals that early Christianity was not a hermetically sealed uniform body, but displays a rich spectrum of possibilities in dealing with the past and a willingness to engage with and adapt the surrounding culture(s), thereby developing diverse and changing responses to historical challenges. By demonstrating throughout that authority is a key in understanding the long denigrated and misunderstood early Christian poets, this book reaches the ground-breaking conclusion that early Christian poetry is an art form that gains its justification by adding cultural authority to Christianity. Thus, in a wider sense it engages with the recently developed interdisciplinary scholarly interest in aspects of religion as cultural phenomena" --

Der vorliegende Band gibt einer Generation das Wort, die mit der Praxis der europäischen Einigung der letzten beiden Jahrzehnte aufgewachsen ist, und geht damit über die geläufigen Europadiskurse weit hinaus. Er ist aus einem besonderen Ereignis hervorgegangen: Das deutsche und das italienische Staatsoberhaupt haben im Juli 2011 mit 29 jungen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern aus beiden Ländern in der Villa Vigoni am Comer See ein lebendiges und unkonventionelles Gespräch über die Zukunft Europas geführt. Der Band bietet den Wortlaut dieser spannenden Diskussion, im Anschluß daran ausgearbeitete Programmtexte der jungen Gesprächsteilnehmer sowie Impulsbeiträge zu europäischen Problemhorizonten zum Zeitpunkt des Gesprächs.
