Classic Sermons on World Evangelism by Warren W Wiersbe
Identities and social relations are fundamental elements of societies. To approach these topics from a new and different angle, this study takes the human body as the focal point of investigation. It tracks changing identities of early Iron Age people in central Europe through body-related practices: the treatment of the body after death and human representations in art.The human remains themselves provide information on biological parameters of life, such as sex, biological age and health status. Objects associated with the body in the grave and funerary practices give further insights on how people of the early Iron Age understood life and death, themselves and their place in the world.
Representations of the human body appear in a variety of different materials, forms and contexts, ranging from ceramic figurines to images on bronze buckets. Rather than focussing on their narrative content, human images are here interpreted as visualising and mediating identity. The analysis of how image elements were connected reveals networks of social relations that connect Central Europe to the Mediterranean.
Body ideals, nudity, sex and gender, aging and many other aspects of women s and men s lives feature in this book. Archaeological evidence for marriage and motherhood, war and everyday life is brought together to paint a vivid picture of the past.
