  • Summary

    The influence of serialism owes largely to its aesthetics, to the ideas behind the music. This chapter presents and examines those ideas. The chapter begins with a brief definition of terms and then analyses specific examples of serial aesthetics in detail. The examples introduce central themes that recur across a diversity of sources in the literature on serial music. These themes include narratives of historical progress, the significance of politics, contemporaneous science and technology, paradigms of experimentation, the ideal of organicism, and models for listening. Following the explication of these themes, the chapter concludes by considering the legacy of serialism and its relevance today.

  • Summary

    What did Celsus know about late second-century Christianity and how did he know it? This paper argues that Celsus is a biased but nonetheless valuable independent witness into late second-century Christianity, providing insight into the public perception of Christian groups as a social phenomenon and of the Christian meta-narrative that was seeping into public consciousness.
