>Dear list members

>I suddenly find myself in the position of having to teach a brand-new
>freshman history course next semester. The course will be thematic,
>addressing "Religion and power in the pre-modern West". My intention
>is that it will be divided about 50/50 between ancient Greece/Rome
>and the Middle Ages and that it will address religion and power both
>in the sense of relations between religion and the state and in terms
>of how religion reinforced (or not) relations of power in the culture
>in general; in relation to Christianity I also want to examine the
>structures of authority within the church and the church's relations
>with the non-Christian. I intend to use a lot of primary sources,
>including images. But I would like to be able to use some kind of
>text that would provide students with a framework. So far as I know
>(and I don't know very far, because I had not expected to have to
>think about this for another 18 months) most "Western Civ" texts
>would include too much non-relevant material (dealing with ancient
>Egypt for instance and with even the first volume going on to cover
>periods too late for my interests). If you have any recommendations,
>especially but not only for things that can be obtained
>electronically, please let me know.
