syneisaktism
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: syneisactism
Etymology: From Ancient Greek συνείσακτος (suneísaktos, “(adjective) introduced together; (noun) participant in syneisaktism”), from συνεισάγω (suneiságō, “to bring in together”), from συν- (sun-, “together”) + εἰσάγω (eiságō, “to bring in, introduce”).
Senses: examples: text: Elizabeth Clark argues cogently that syneisaktism provided a couple with a rare opportunity for friendship between the sexes.[…]John Chrysostom, for example, who wrote two treatises against syneisaktism, was also a powerful advocate for female virginity, which he occasionally presented as a means of escaping Eve's curse of subordination.
ref: 1993, Dyan Elliott, Spiritual Marriage: Sexual Abstinence in Medieval Wedlock, Princeton University Press, page 34:
text: John Chrysostom (d. 407) wrote two treatises on the practice of syneisaktism - spiritual marriage between male and female ascetics - which was popular and widespread after the second century. Some assert that it represented the solution to a practical problem; since few convents were available until the fifth century, syneisaktism gave female ascetics a place to live without going off into the desert.
ref: 1998, Kenneth B. Steinhauser, “The Aesthetics of Paradise: Images of Women in Christian Antiquity”, in Joseph Martos, Pierre Hégy, editors, Equal at the Creation: Sexism, Society, and Christian Thought, University of Toronto Press, page 55:
text: Some have read in this text the possibility of a form of syneisaktism, or “spiritual marriage,” which would have involved living together but would not have involved sexual activity. Paul clearly separates syneisaktism from getting married, which is why I am naming it here as a form of cohabitation.

Even Augustine's contact with the Tertullianists appears to have been slight. Could Augustine's assessment of the Tertullianists, therefore, have been inaccurate?
text: Christian learning must accordingly be Tertullianist learning. Tertullianist as well as Clementine — Clementine as well as Tertullianist.
ref: 2009, Nicholas Wolterstorff, edited by Terence Cuneo, Inquiring about God: Selected Essays, Volume 1, Cambridge University Press, page 303:
text: Augustine's indication that Tertullian himself founded the Tertullianists as a splinter group from the Carthaginian Montanists is unlikely. It is possible that the term ‘Tertullianist’ was a synonym for African Montanists, or that the Tertullianists were a sect within Carthaginian Montanism, or even that the Tertullianists did not identify themselves as Montanists at all.

text: The exercise is complicated by the fact that populations in borderland areas are often mixed within a single county, although segregation might still remain very distinct. For instance, in Xunhua Salar Autonomous County of the Haidong District in Qinghai, the birthplace of the 10th Panchen Lama, Tibetans account for about one-fifth of the population. However, this Tibetan population remains very homogeneous in the higher-altitude townships of the county to this day, while Salar Muslims dominate the lower-altitude townships and towns, and this pattern of segregation pre-dates the twentieth century.
