GENERAL PHILOSOPHY

Cricket Ball

Gary Cox, University of Birmingham, UK The cricket ball is the swinging, bouncing, spinning heart of the glorious game that gives it its name.

This entertaining journey through the history of cricket draws on philosophy, science, history, politics, literature, biography and the myriad facts and figures of the vast cricket universe itself to bring you the weird and wonderful story of this legendary leathern orb. What precisely is a cricket ball? What is it made of and how is it made? How has it evolved over the centuries along with the game itself and what is likely to be its multi-coloured future? Cricket Ball expertly answers all these questions and many more with a highly readable mixture of deep insight and light hearted humour.

Neither Man nor Beast

Feminism and the Defense of Animals Carol J. Adams, Activist and Freelance Author, USA In this landmark work of animal rights activism, Carol Adams - the bestselling author of The Sexual Politics of Meat - explores the intersections and common causes of feminism and the defense of animals.

Neither Man Nor Beast explores the common link between cultural attitudes to women and animals in modern Western culture that have enabled the systematic exploitation of both. A vivid work that takes in environmental ethics, theological perspectives and feminist theory, the Bloomsbury Revelations edition includes a new foreword by the author and new images illustrating the continuing relevance of the book today.

A Life

Kate Kirkpatrick, University of Hertfordshire and University of Oxford, UK ‘One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman’, wrote Simone de Beauvoir.

This is a woman who was also to become a philosopher, a novelist, an existentialist, and a feminist icon. Her novels won prestigious literary prizes and The Second Sex transformed the way we think about sex and gender.

Kate Kirkpatrick draws on previously unavailable diaries and letters, including those written to filmmaker Claude Lanzmann to whom she wrote ‘You are my destiny, my eternity, my life …’, which only came to light in 2018.

The History of Animals: A Philosophy

Oxana Timofeeva, European University in St. Petersburg, Russia "If philosophy is the love of wisdom, then Timofeeva’s The History of Animals is a work of philosophy as the love for animals. Refusing to simply condemn philosophy for its mistreatment of animals, this book reconstructs how philosophers might be read to restore the philosophical dignity of animals. It teaches us to join with all the ‘revolutionary animals’ to win a new world."

Benjamin Noys, University of Chichester, UK With a foreword by Slavoj Žižek, this book is ideal for anyone interested in re-imagining how we engage with animals and the environment.

What Is Philosophy for?

Happiness

Why should anybody do philosophy? Is it just one more detailed study, like metallurgy or German?

Or is it perhaps something more like history and literature and even - traditionally - religion, something meant to do them some personal good a study that could influence their own lives?

Translated by A. J. Bartlett & Justin Clemens, University of Melbourne, Australia

Mary Midgley, Independent Scholar, UK

Renowned moral philosopher Mary Midgley takes on these provocative questions in her most up-to-date statement on the specific forms of many of our current intellectual anxieties and confusions and how to deal with them, providing a robust defense of philosophy and philosophizing in the process.

Becoming Beauvoir

Alain Badiou, École Normale Supérieure, France

In this intervention into contemporary philosophy, Alain Badiou rehabilitates the notion of 'being happy', reclaiming it from the blandness of the selfhelp industry, consumerist trends and the polluted rhetoric politicians. He suggests happiness has been reduced to satisfaction, and satisfaction for Badiou isn't enough; risk, adventure, peril, feeling and experiencing things that go beyond feeling at peace, our equilibrium and asking questions of ourselves is where true happiness lies.

Badiou also asks a serious political question in his interrogation of happiness: what does it mean, socially and politically, to simply accept one's place in the world?

GENERAL PHILOSOPHY / POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AND CRITICAL THEORY 4

Marx

Portraits of Wittgenstein

Michel Henry, Late of University of Montpellier, France

Edited by F.A. Flowers III & Ian Ground, Newcastle University, UK

An Introduction

Translated by Kristien Justaert, University of Leuven, Belgium According to Michel Henry, no thinker has been more influential than Marx, and no one has been more misunderstood. With characteristic clarity, Henry pulls out the philosophical heart of Marx's work and the reasons this complex philosophy has so often been simplified, distorted and obscured.

Marx: An Introduction is not just a recovery of the theoretical centre of Marx's thinking, but also an introduction to the work of Marx in general; concise and punchy without glossing over the difficult material, it provides a fresh reading of Marx's corpus.

Abridged Edition

"A wonderful project - endlessly fascinating for philosophers, but it will also appeal to anyone with the most casual interest in twentieth-century intellectual history. This is the work everyone who is interested in Wittgenstein the man needs." Times Literary Supplement Now abridged and available in paperback for the first time, this collection of valuable and hard-to-find material is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the life and work of Ludwig Wittgenstein. Bringing together the personal recollections of philosophers, students and friends, it features some of the most influential intellectuals of the last century including Bertrand Russell, G. E. Moore, Mary Midgley and Mary Warnock.

The First Marx

The Green Light

Peter Lamb, Staffordshire University, UK & Douglas Burnham, Staffordshire University, UK

Bernard Charbonneau

A Philosophical Introduction

Marx's early work is well known and widely available, but it is usually interpreted a kind of stepping-stone to the Marx of Capital. This book offers something completely different; it reconstructs, from his first writings spanning from 1835 to 1846, a coherent and well-rounded political philosophy. Burnham and Lamb argue that this was a philosophy that Marx could have presented himself, and he even hinted that it was his eventual intention. Had he done so, this first Marx would have made an even greater contribution to social and political philosophy than is already acknowledged today. This new book presents Marx in a new light, that will be indispensable reading for all studying and following his work.

A Self-Critique of the Ecological Movement Translated by Christian Roy "The ecological emergency is so systemic and so vast that the human imagination is frozen before it. Unable to believe that things could be different, around the world people consent to fascist-paranoid politics that relieve us of the burden of thinking and visualizing. Christian Roy’s lovely translation of Charbonneau’s masterpiece allows us to un-freeze, and for the sake of all lifeforms on Earth, imagine what William Blake meant by a “mental fight” for our ecological future."

Édouard Glissant

Exceptional Technologies

A Poetics of Resistance

A Continental Philosophy of Technology

Sam Coombes, University of Edinburgh, UK

Dominic Smith, University of Dundee, UK

"To divide the thought of Édouard Glissant into an early period of Caribbean radical politics on the one hand and a mature phase advancing a depolitized cosmopolitan life of the mind on the other distorts Glissant’s legacy. Sam Coombes rescues Glissant from facile naysayers upholding this misrepresentation. He does so through examination of the late Glissant on creolization, immigration, neoliberal political economy, negotiations of universalism and particularism, and visions of human existence that acknowledge nation-state politics while also providing alternative futures for everyday people to resist enslaving dynamics of globalization. A single word captures that project’s implication: freedom." Neil Roberts, Williams College, USA

"In this important contribution to the philosophy of technology, Smith engages with some of the most interesting topics in media and technology, from photography, to the Internet, and even the humble sheet of paper, that most helpful technology for the writing of philosophy. Advocating for a renewed sense of the transcendental, Smith focuses on the conditions of possibility that structure and define any given technology, both successful technologies and failed ones, hypothetical devices and impossible ones. Such marginal or paradoxical exceptions come to define what technology is, and, most importantly, what technology might become." Alexander R. Galloway, New York University, USA

Gary Browning, Oxford Brookes University, UK "Gary Browning places Murdoch in her age and in ours: she is a profoundly historical and dialectical thinker from a very particular historical moment, whose influence and importance have only grown in recent years. He sees Murdoch as first the philosopher who refused to be either 'analytic' or 'continental': then also and, very vividly, the novelist, the playwright, the political thinker and the letter-writer. An exciting and much-needed book."

The Tyranny of Opinion

Conformity and the Future of Liberalism Russell Blackford, University of Newcastle, Australia "A masterpiece. This should be required reading for every university professor." Peter Boghossian, Portland State University, USA We live in an age of ideology, propaganda, and tribalism. Liberal people are often more afraid of each other than of their right-wing opponents. How can we tackle this, regaining freedom and our sense of ourselves as individuals? Blackford identifies the problem, defines its character, and proposes strategies of resistance; calling for an end to ideological purity policing and for recommitment to the foundational liberal values of individual liberty, free inquiry, diverse opinion, and honest debate.

Common

Plural Maghreb

Pierre Dardot, Independent Scholar, France & Christian Laval, Paris Nanterre University, France

Abdelkebir Khatibi

Translated by Matthew MacLellan, McGill University, Canada

This English translation of Abdelkebir Khatibi's magnum opus brings some of Khatibi's most profound meditations to a global audience for the first time.

On Revolution in the 21st Century

Together, Pierre Dardot and Chrisitan Laval are one of the great intellectual partnerships of our time.

In this exhaustive account, they show how the common has become the defining principle of alternative political movements in the 21st century. In a feat of analytic clarity, Dardot and Laval dissect and synthesize a vast repository on the concept of the commons, from the fields of philosophy, political theory, economics, legal theory, history, theology, and sociology.

On the Feminist Philosophy of Gillian Howie

Elettra Stimilli, Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy

Materialism and Mortality

Translated by Stefania Porcelli, The City University of New York, USA

Edited by Daniel Whistler, University of Liverpool, UK & Victoria Browne, Oxford Brookes University, UK

The issue of debt and how it effects us is becoming more and more urgent. Austerity has been the prevalent European economic policy of recent years, led by the "German model". Elletra Stimilli draws upon contemporary philosophy, psychology and theology to argue that austerity is built on the idea that we deserve to be punished and need to experience guilt in order to take full account of our economic sins. Following thinkers such as Weber, Benjamin and Foucault, Debt and Guilt provides a startling examination of the relationship between contemporary politics and economics and how we structure our inner lives.

POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AND CRITICAL THEORY

Why Iris Murdoch Matters

Over three decades, Gillian Howie wrote at the forefront of philosophy and critical theory. This collection uses her key writings as springboards, examining the productive yet often resistant relationship between feminism and critical theory. The contributors also consider Howie’s turn towards philosophies of death, life-limiting illness and therapy and the role of mortality, embodiment, alienation and dialectic in thinking through new forms of feminism and philosophy.

POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AND CRITICAL THEORY

The Polemics of Ressentiment Variations on Nietzsche

Edited by Sjoerd van Tuinen, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands "A remarkably timely volume, exploring ressentiment as a problem of voluntary servitude and clearly articulating its critical and polemical value. One of the richest and most coherently framed discussions of ressentiment in Continental philosophy in recent decades." Oliver Davis, Warwick University, UK

Posthumanist, Feminist and Materialist Perspectives in Higher Education Edited by Rosi Braidotti, Utrecht University, The Netherlands, Vivienne Bozalek, University of the Western Cape, South Africa, Tamara Shefer, University of the Western Cape, South Africa & Michalinos Zembylas, Open University of Cyprus, Cyprus

The rise of populism, cynicism, fanaticism and fundamentalism challenges us to reconsider Nietzsche’s concept of ressentiment, which is now making a comeback in political discourse. The aim of this book is to examine the divergent senses in which the concept of ressentiment is used today.

This book addresses contemporary philosophical issues in higher education that aim to create a socially just university. Providing a forum for thinking through how critical posthumanism, affect theory and feminist new materialisms provide a useful lens for higher education, the book shows how these standpoints can benefit methods and practices of learning and teaching.

Contemporary Democracy and the Sacred, Religion and Ideology

Jon Wittrock, Stockholm University, Sweden "Jon Wittrock reminds us of a “topology of the exceptional” within the everyday life of liberal democracies: rituals, symbols, “luminous” experiences, and ancient religious legacies are at play in contemporary issues such as the clash between nationalism and human rights. Wittrock’s well-balanced, erudite inquiry invites us to imagine how future communities may unite individual autonomy with sacred meaning."

Heidegger’s Politics of Enframing

Technology and Responsibility Javier Cardoza-Kon, California State University Monterey Bay, USA "Unlike many scholars who have written on Heidegger, Cardoza-Kon brings to his discussion a deep knowledge of the intricate and subtle connections between Heidegger’s philosophy and his politics. This book will put to rest any doubts that Heidegger’s critique of western metaphysics is related to his far-right politics." Grant Havers, Professor of Philosophy and Political Studies, Trinity Western University, Canada Examining the controversial political choices made by Heidegger, this book articulates a direct connection between his troubling political decisions, his late thoughts on technology and what the political ramifications of this are for Heidegger’s thought today.

Socially Just Pedagogies

The Reasoning of Unreason Universalism, Capitalism and Disenlightenment

John Roberts, University of Wolverhampton, UK "John Roberts’ The Reasoning of Unreason impressively shows how a contemporary critique of oppression must proceed: it must understand oppression in its own rationality. Roberts therefore analyzes in detail and with a broad historical perspective how the regimes of oppression think – how they reason against reason. Oppression thus becomes recognizable as the oppression of thinking itself: of its emancipatory power of radical universality.

A remarkable example of Marx's true philosophical criticism."

The Human

Bare Life and Ways of Life John Lechte, Macquarie University, Sydney "How can it be possible for human life to be excluded, exploited, oppressed and, ultimately, destroyed in the very name of humanity? This is the crucial question that Lechte tackles in this philosophical tour de force. Taking up from where Agamben left off, Lechte proposes a radical new understanding of the human as transcendent, as that which cannot be reduced to bare life. In doing so, he presents a fundamental challenge to the economic and political rationalities that today aim to objectify and control us."

Edited by Robert G. White, Kingston University London, UK, Anthony Faramelli, Kingston University London, UK & David Hancock, Buckinghamshire New University, UK This book formulates an interdisciplinary and international approach to Foucault’s concept of heterotopic spaces that aims to rupture the particularities of spatial discourses, challenging existing borders, boundaries, horizons, surfaces and planes. With essays on politics, philosophy, literature, post-colonial studies, and aesthetics, this book thinks through how spaces of crisis and critique are still functioning to open up disruptive, subversive or minoritarian fields within already existing discourses, giving us a better understanding of our present geopolitical epoch.

Resistance, Revolution and Fascism

Zapatismo and Assemblage Politics Anthony Faramelli, Kingston University London, UK This book is an in depth analysis of the intrinsic, yet under-theorized, relationship between revolution and fascism. Through an examination of the psychic conditions created by integrated world capitalism, and the revolutionary projects that oppose this form of financial and social organization, this book identifies the limits of revolutionary thinking. Faramelli argues that revolutionary projects are inevitably subsumed by capitalism’s organization of life, causing them to reproduce the same structures of control. Drawing on the resistant philosophies developed by Deleuze and Guattari, Howard Caygill’s defiant philosophy, and the Zapatista insurgents, this book develops a philosophically-informed practice of resistance.

Georg Lukács’s Philosophy of Praxis From Neo-Kantianism to Marxism

Konstantinos Kavoulakos, University of Crete, Greece Georg Lukács early Marxist philosophy of the 1920s constituted the foundations of Critical Theory.

However the evaluation of Lukács’ philosophical contribution has been largely determined by one-sided readings of eminent theorists like Adorno, Habermas, Honneth or even Lukács himself. With a preface by major Lukacs scholar Andrew Feenberg, this book offers a new reconstruction of Lukács’ early Marxist work, capable of restoring its dialectical complexity by highlighting its roots in Lukács’ 'pre-Marxist' period.

Lacan Contra Foucault

Subjectivity, Sex, and Politics Edited by Nadia Bou Ali, American University of Beirut, Lebanon & Rohit Goel, University of Chicago, USA Engaging the influential yet divergent bodies of thought of two thinkers who were antagonistic contemporaries, the authors of this volume chart distinct trajectories at the peak of French structuralism, whose comparison is crucial to understanding the contours and stakes of critical theory today.

Although these two thinkers have had a number of direct encounters, this volume seeks to stage another encounter in the present, which grounds their divergences and confluences in relationship to the topics of sexuality, the theory of the subject, history and historicism, scientific formalization, and ultimately politics.

Transmedia, Affect, Weird Science and Archives of the Future Lisa Blackman, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK Revealing the hidden concepts at work in weird science and computational cultures, within the context of the “Affective Turn” in philosophy, this book looks at how software is changing scientific innovation, progress, discussion, review, debate and consensus; focusing specifically on controversies in the area of “weird science,” including interspecies communication and extra-sensory perception.

Drawing from radical philosophies of science, feminism, queer theory and cultural studies, the book develops a manifesto for how artists, philosophers and scholars might engage creatively and critically with science and digital communication.

Badiou and the German Tradition of Philosophy Edited by Jan Völker, Berlin University of the Arts, Germany

Alain Badiou achieved international success and recognition, but most of the secondary literature on him focuses on the internal problems of his philosophy, rather than its position within a broader genealogy. This book unites philosophers from Germany, Slovenia, the UK, Australia and France, to trace the relation between elements of Badiou’s philosophy and the German philosophical tradition, namely the three movements of German Idealism, Phenomenology, and the Frankfurt School. With an original chapter from Badiou himself, looking back at his influences and antagonisms within the German tradition, this book is essential for readers interested in the exploration of Badiou’s legacy.

Hegel, Taubes and Malabou

"Thomas Lynch is emerging as an original and creative voice in Continental Philosophy of Religion.

Used as an all-inclusive label, 'posthuman' has created methodological and theoretical confusion. This book highlights the similarities and differences between the various terms and schools of thought, and focuses specifically on philosophical posthumanism, uncovering it’s historical, genealogical and onto-epistemological groundings.

Examining the topics that fall under the 'Posthuman' umbrella, this book looks at: the postmodern roots of the movement; philosophical, cultural and critical posthumanism; transhumanisms; new materialisms and posthumanist feminisms; antihumanism; posthumanities and metahumanities.

From Marx to Hegel and Back Capitalism, Critique, and Utopia

Edited by Victoria Fareld, Stockholm University, Sweden & Hannes Kuch, Hanover Institute of Philosophical Research, Germany The relation between Hegel and Marx is among the most important and most challenged in the history of philosophy. Given the contemporary renaissance of Marx and Marxist theories, how should we re-read the Hegel-Marx connection today? What place does Hegel have in contemporary critical thinking?

With a particular focus on essential concepts like recognition and love, revolution, alienation, freedom, and the idea of critique, this fresh intervention into Hegelian and Marxian philosophy combines the unifying the ethical content of Hegel’s philosophy with the power of Marx’s social and economic critique of the contemporary world.

Series Editors: David Webb, Joanna Hodge Serres is a radically disruptive thinker with respect to the history of philosophy, the practice of philosophy and the future of enquiry. His writings stretch from the sixties of the last century to the present moment.

This book series provides discussions of both of the various stages and aspects of his own writings, and extend the discussion to developing responses to contemporary questions and problems of and for philosophy including mathematics, our relationship with technology and the ecological crisis.

Michel Serres and the Crises of the Contemporary Edited by Rick Dolphijn, University of Utrecht, The Netherlands

"This collection is both timely and important.

The essays gathered here deploy many of the concepts and modes of thinking that Michel Serres has developed through his prodigious body of work, to make sense of the conditions of crisis, economic, environmental and political, that we currently inhabit. They take their impetus from the living and loving sweep of Serres's work, as they range between nature, language, mathematics, knowledge, technology and the senses. Their manner of thinking with, rather than merely about Serres, means that they are able to move beyond the parched, penurious work of critique to the imagination of new ways of thinking, feeling and being."

Mathematics and Information in the Philosophy of Michel Serres

Vera Bühlmann, Vienna University of Technology, Austria This book introduces the reader to Serres’ unique manner of ‘doing philosophy’, which present throughout his oeuvre, as a manner of bearing witness. It traces how Serres takes note of a range of epistemologically unsettling situations, which he witnesses as arising from the short-circuit of a proprietary notion of capital, with a praxis of science which privileges the most direct path to expend minimal efforts while pursuing maximal efficiency.

Bühlmann acquaints the reader with Serres’ monist manner of addressing the universality and the power of knowledge – that is at once also the anonymous and empty faculty of incandescent, inventive thought.

Kevin Hart, University of Virginia, USA "Few scholars can claim the sort of wide-ranging expertise that we see in the work of Kevin Hart.

In his new book Poetry and Revelation, we see these many elements together in one place. The result is a volume that conveys, perhaps better than any single previous publication, the scope of his scholarly interests and the ambition of his constructive project for extending the application of phenomenology in the Husserlian style to literary and theological material."

Relational Hermeneutics

Essays in Comparative Philosophy

Hermeneutics and Phenomenology Figures and Themes

Edited by Saulius Geniusas & Paul Fairfield, Queen’s University, Canada "This extended comparison of hermeneutics and phenomenology lets the reader see afresh what is specific to each current, and how they have interacted and pulled apart. The editors have assembled thorough treatments of the most famous advocates of both schools, but also with generous treatments of less prominent philosophers from the 19th to the 21st Century. In carrying this project out, the book treats the central questions of philosophy: historical thinking vs. systematic reason; realism vs. idealism; the hermeneutical circle and the scientific method; the relation of philosophy to art, literature and religion. The excellent articles, by over a dozen authors, are accurate in exposition and documentation."

Edited by Paul Fairfield, Queen’s University, Canada & Saulius Geniusas, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Investigating connections between philosophical hermeneutics and neighbouring traditions of thought, this volume considers the question of how post-Heideggerian hermeneutics, as represented by Gadamer, Ricoeur and recent scholars following in their wake, relate to these traditions, both in general terms and bearing upon specific questions.

The traditions covered in this volume—existentialism, pragmatism, poststructuralism, Eastern philosophy, and hermeneutics itself—are all characterized by significant internal diversity, adding to the difficulty in reaching an interpretation that is at once comparative and critical.

None of these traditions represent a unified system of belief; all are umbrella terms which are at once useful and imprecise, and the differences internal to each are not to be understated.

An innovative work of comparative philosophy, this volume avoids oversimplification and offers specific analyses that treat hermeneutics in relation to particular themes and key figures in each of these traditions of thought. Philosophical hermeneutics is explicitly dialogical, and it is in this spirit that the authors of this book approach their subjects, revealing the important affinities and opportunities for mutually enriching conversations which have until now been overlooked.

Ethical Experience A Phenomenology

Nicolle Zapien & Susi Ferrarello, Loyola University, USA "The book’s clarity and concreteness will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, leadership, business, and philosophy.

Focused primarily on what it means to perceive reality, what it means to be intimate, and what it means to live a temporal life, this work will inspire and direct students to phenomenology as to a meaningful resource for better communication and introspection." Peter Costello, Professor of Philosophy, Providence College, USA This textbook focuses on the lived experiences of the everyday. This focus enables you to explore how ethics relates to psychology, and how you act as an ethical agent within your surrounding community and world. Using Husserl’s ethics alongside the work of Ricoeur, Merleau-Ponty and Freud, this book presents a phenomenological approach to moral psychology.

On Philosophical Anthropology and Aesthetics "Rarely are books this nuanced also this comprehensive. Anyone interested in Heidegger should read this book. Everyone attempting to think about aesthetics or religion after Heidegger must read it." J. Aaron Simmons, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Furman University, USA Addressing Heidegger’s continuing centrality to continental thought, Markus Weidler argues that Heidegger’s difficult charm is his great ingenuity, crafting a novel genre of writing which promises to harness the revelatory power of artworks for the purpose of philosophical inquiry.

He intertwines the book’s innovative insight with a masterly and clear treatment of major continental and analytic thinkers as well as with discussions of temporal logic, decision theory, quantum physics, and the Chinese game of Go. Lampert also considers the vital implications of his thesis for ethical responsibility, especially for an age in which fundamentalisms strive to crowd out more judicious and imaginative thought. It’s a must read for scholars and theoreticians working on the relation between decision and time and will be of great interest to those concerned more generally with contemporary continental philosophy."

William O. Stephens, Creighton University, USA

A Philosophy of the Political Body

Translated by Justin E. H. Smith "In this original and important book, Corrine Pelluchon argues for nothing less than a new social contract that does justice to the biosphere, to all life, especially other animals, as well as human life, and to future generations. On the basis of a phenomenology of food and nourishment, she shows how freedom depends on the “love of life” and on sharing what nourishes with others. Pelluchon also takes up the practical challenge of reimagining democratic institutions to sustain this ethics of life.

It is a must-read for anyone concerned with how to think through our notions of selfhood and about evil today.

Transformative Pacifism

Epictetus and Happiness as Freedom William O. Stephens explores the moral philosophy of Epictetus, a former Roman slave and dynamic Stoic teacher whose teachings are a compelling defense of ancient Stoicism. Epictetus' philosophy captures the spirit of Stoicism by examining and remedying our greatest human disappointments, such as the death of a loved one. Stephens shows how, for Epictetus, happiness results from focusing our concern on what is up to us while not worrying about what is beyond our control. He concludes that the strength of Epictetus' thought lies in his conception of happiness as freedom from fear, worry, grief, and dependence upon luck.

The Ethics of Resistance Tyranny of the Absolute

Drew M. Dalton, Dominican University, USA Attacking post-Kantian ethics, the foundation of European philosophical morality, Dalton critiques the idea that ethical judgement must affirm some conception of the absolute good. Dalton brings some of the most influential contemporary philosophical traditions into dialogue with each other, tackling sociopolitical problems through reflections on the rise of neo-liberalism and neo-nationalism, as well as rampant consumerism and racism.

Proposing a new way of conceiving of contemporary ethical thought, not as an affirmation of the tyranny of the absolute, but as a resistance to it. Re-casting ethics against dominant European ethical sensibilities, Dalton sees evil not as merely moral failure, but as a source of potential resistance.

Character

Jay R. Elliott, Bard College, USA Why do people do bad things? How can we do better? Philosophers in the tradition of 'virtue ethics' argue that we act badly due to failures in our character, and by practicing courage, honesty, and fairness we can improve ourselves. However 'situationist' philosophers argue that our situation matters more than our character.

Catherine Breillat, Joan Didion, and Audre Lorde Matthew R. McLennan, University of Ottawa, Canada Issues surrounding precarity, debility and vulnerability are now of central concern to philosophers as we try and navigate an increasingly uncertain world. Matthew R. McLennan delves into these subjects enthusiastically and sensitively, presenting a vision of the discipline of philosophy which is grounded in real, lived experience.

Developing an invigorating, if at times painful, sense of the finitude and fragility of human life, Vulnerability and Philosophy provocatively marshals three disciplinary “nonphilosophers” to make its argument: French filmmaker and novelist Catherine Breillat, journalist and masterful cultural commentator Joan Didion and feminist poet and civil rights activist Audre Lorde. Through this encounter, this book suggests ways in which rigorous attention to difference and diversity must nourish a militant philosophical universalism in the future.

The Bloomsbury Companion to Philosophy of Psychiatry

Edited by Serife Tekin, Daemen College, USA & Robyn Bluhm Beginning with an introduction to research issues, this companion addresses what psychiatry is and distinguishes it from other areas of medical practice, other health care professions, and from psychology.

With each section of the companion corresponding to a philosophical subject, contributors systematically cover relevant topics in philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, ethics, social and political philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, phenomenology, and philosophy of medicine. Looking ahead to new research directions, chapters address recent issues including the metaphysics of mental disorders, gender and race in psychiatry and psychiatric ethics.

Nietzsche and Friendship

Willow Verkerk, St Mary’s University Twickenham, UK Willow Verkerk identifies Friedrich Nietzsche as a therapeutic and an ethical thinker whose writings on friendship, love and woman force us to rethink the ideal of friendship today. His provocative writings on woman offer critique on the heteronormative roles of love and the gender troubles of friendship. Yet few scholars have paid attention to the critical contribution his work makes to studies on friendship and love in the history of philosophy. Verkerk revives interest in the ethical, therapeutic, and feminist dimensions of Nietzsche’s thinking through examining his writings on friendship, love, and woman in relation to contemporary scholars and key figures in the history of philosophy.

The Aesthetics and Ethics of Copying

Edited by Darren Hudson Hick, Texas Tech University, USA & Reinold Schmücker, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität, Germany

Beauty and the End of Art

Wittgenstein, Plurality and Perception Sonia Sedivy, University of Toronto Scarborough, Canada

"A landmark contribution to the philosophical literature on this subject . . . This collection is valuable to scholars not only because the essays are of such high quality, but because it demonstrates the rewards to be reaped by such a boldly interdisciplinary approach to its subject." Philosophy in Review

Sonia Sedivy shows how a resurgence of interest in beauty and a sense of ending in Western art are challenging us to rethink art, beauty and their relationship. Arguing that Wittgenstein’s later work and contemporary theory of perception offer just what we need for a unified approach to art and beauty, Sedivy provides new answers to these new challenges.

By responding to the rapidly changing attitudes towards the use of another’s ideas, styles, and artworks, this collection provides the first philosophical foundation for an aesthetics and ethics of copying and establishes the complex conditions that underlie and complicate the topic.

Examining contemporary debates about art, aesthetics and perception, she weaves together insights from Kant, Gadamer and Danto, Nehamas, Scarry and Hickey to reveal how they make good sense if we bring contemporary theory of perception and Wittgensteinian realism into the conversation.

AESTHETICS AND PHILOSOPHY OF ART

Adventures with the Theory of the Baroque and French Philosophy

Nadir Lahiji, University of Canberra, Australia Analysing the reception of contemporary French philosophy in architecture, Nadir Lahiji discusses the problematic nature of importing philosophical categories into architecture. Focusing on the notion of the Baroque in Deleuze and Lacan’s investigations of the concept, Lahiji challenges the contemporary dominance of the Baroque as a phenomenon related to postmodernism, establishing it as a name for the paradoxical unity of ‘kitsch’ and ‘high’ art. This original critique explains why the category of the Baroque, if it is still useful in architecture criticism, must be tied to the notion of Post-Rationalism.

Retroactivity and Contemporary Art Craig Staff, University of Nottingham, UK

Through specific case studies of artists who strategically work with historical moments, this book examines how art from the last two decades has sought to mobilize these particular histories, and to what effect, against the backdrop of Modernism.

Drawing on the art theory of Rosalind Krauss and the philosophies of Benjamin, Richter, and Agamben, Staff interprets those works that foreground some aspect of retroactivity as key artistic strategies.

This book is a reflection on time within art and an indispensable read for those attempting to understand the artistic significance of history, materiality, and memory.

The Visibility of the Image

History and Perspectives of Formal Aesthetics Lambert Wiesing, Jena University, Germany Translated by Nancy Ann Roth, University of Falmouth, UK Now available in English for the first time, Lambert Wiesing explores the development of an influential aesthetic tradition through the work of six figures: Robert Zimmermann (1824-1898); Alois Riegl (1858-1905); Heinrich Wölfflin (1864-1945), Konrad Fiedler (1841-1895), Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961) and Charles William Morris (1901-1979). Analysing their contribution to the progress of formal aesthetics, from its origins in Germany in the 1880s to semiotic interpretations in America a century later, Wiesing introduces the rise of modern image theory and provides a valuable account of our engagement with pictures in the 21st century.

Figural Philology

Panofsky and the Science of Things Adi Efal, University of Cologne, Germany Though inspired by a Panofskyan legacy, this book diverges at certain points from his declared objectives, and calls attention to aspects that have been less accentuated in his intellectual reception.

Insisting on the importance of iconology as a method for art history and the humanities, it shows how examining this promotes a cooperation between the history of art and the history of philosophy. It discusses whether Panofsky’s method could be of use for general questions in the epistemology of the historical sciences that examine human works. Distilling Panofsky's writings, Efal selects the elements that could be useful for philosophy.

Unnatural Theology

Andrew McNamara, Queensland University of Technology, Australia

Charlie Gere, Lancaster University, UK

Ambivalence in Art, Politics and Society

McNamara argues in this book that it is time to forget the quest to surpass modernity. Instead, we should re-examine a legacy that continues to inform our artistic conceptions, our political debates, our critical justifications, even if that legacy is baffling and contradictory.

We may find it difficult to live with, but without recourse to this legacy, our critical-cultural ambitions would remain seriously diminished.

How do we explain the culture we live in today? And how do we, as citizens, make sense of it? This book suggests these questions have become increasingly difficult to answer.

Religion, Art, and Media after the Death of God The failure of secular modernity to deliver on its promise of progress and enlightenment leaves a void that religion is rushing to fill. Yet what kind of religious thinking can be adequate in our posthuman condition? How can we avoid either embracing religious fantasy and fundamentalism or remaining mired in hopeless atheistic nihilism?

Charlie Gere addresses the possibilities of religion and theology in the context of our highly technologized postmodernity. Taking its cue from a wide range of thinkers, including Ruskin, Whitehead, Derrida, Butler, Agamben, and Critchley, and artists such as Duchamp and Richard Hamilton, and films including The Incredible Shrinking Man, this book seeks the remnants of theology and religion in the realms of technology, art and media.

Art as Human Practice

Techne Theory

Georg W. Bertram, Institute for Philosophy, Free University of Berlin, Germany

Henry Staten, University of Washington, USA

An Aesthetics

Translated by Nathan Ross, Oklahoma City University, USA How is art both distinct and different from the rest of human life, while also mattering in and for it? This central yet overlooked question in contemporary philosophy is at the heart of Georg W. Bertram's new aesthetic. Drawing on the resources of diverse philosophical traditions – analytic philosophy, French philosophy, and German post-Kantian philosophy – this book offers a systematic account of art as a human practice. One that remains connected to the whole of life.

Stanley Cavell and the Arts Philosophy and Popular Culture

Rex Butler, University of Queensland, Australia Over a 50-year career, Cavell wrote about visual art, photography, classical music, Shakespeare, the plays of Samuel Beckett and perhaps most notably Hollywood cinema, throughout the long period of cultural post-modernism. Stanley Cavell and the Arts offers an overview of Cavell’s writings on the arts, situating them within his wider philosophical practice, analysing in detail his treatment of particular art forms and looking at the work of those he has deeply shaped.

How Art Gets Made Proposing a radical realignment of contemporary aesthetic philosophy, criticism and practice, Techne Theory traces an understanding of the nature and implications of art, via the ancient Greek concept of techne, meaning art as craftsmanship, to reignite an appreciation for the artwork as work.

AESTHETICS AND PHILOSOPHY OF ART

Surpassing Modernity

Staten develops a working model of techne criticism that enables combinations of agency and structure, concept and practice, form and content, possibility and actuality. Techne Theory affirms an important critique of Romantic conceptions of art and their humanist politics, and proposes instead a wholly original conception of individual artistic agency defined through materialist terms.

The Incandescent

Michel Serres, Stanford University, USA "The Incandescent glows with genius. Michel Serres brings the full array of his analytic, synthetic, and literary powers to bear on the grand narrative of humanity’s co-evolution with the natural world. Scientific erudition and philosophical depth come together in a sweeping cultural history that goes to the core of who we are as a species. In these pages the earth itself calls on us to become its curators and the avatars of more fully realized humanity." Robert Pogue Harrison, Professor of Literature, Stanford University, USA This crucial piece of posthumanist and philosophical writing has never before been released in English. Randolph Burks ensures the poetry and wisdom of Serres shines through in this masterful translation.

AESTHETICS AND PHILOSOPHY OF ART

Radical Aesthetics-Radical Art Series Editors: Gillian Whiteley, Jane Tormey RARA reconsiders the relationship between practicing art and thinking about art and so what aesthetics might mean in the 21st century. The term 'radical' denotes how the books promote debate, confront convention and formulate alternative ways of thinking about art practice. The series aims to liberate the notion of aesthetics from visual traditions and to expand its parameters in a creative and meaningful way. It examines those multisensory, collaborative, participatory and transitory practices that have developed in the last twenty years.

Transitional Aesthetics

Contemporary Art at the Edge of Europe Uros Cvoro, University of New South Wales, Australia Transitional aesthetics are artistic strategies that disrupt and interrogate ideologically loaded trajectories of cultural, social, or political transition.

Examples of such trajectories include the movement from totalitarianism to democracy (post-socialism), from war to freedom and reconciliation (post-conflict), and from the edges of Europe to its centre (inclusion in the European Union). Using artist's perception of EU integration and transition from a Soviet past as a conceptual launching pad, this book explores how artists critically inhabit a permanent state of ‘in-between’ to capture the simultaneous existence of multiple and overlapping temporalities.

Aesthetic Theory, Abstract Art, and Lawrence Carroll David Carrier

In the first monograph devoted to the contemporary artist Lawrence Carroll, David Carrier reveals his importance as a subject for the philosophy of art.

Carrier explains how he understands the medium of painting, shows what his art says about the identity of painting as an art, discusses the place of his paintings in the development of abstraction and, finally, offers an interpretation of his art. Confronting essentialism in aesthetics from a very different direction, Carrrier shows how Carroll challenges traditional definitions of paintings in order to present the fullest possible perspective on Carroll's work.

The Question of Painting

Working Aesthetics

Labour, Art and Capitalism Danielle Child, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK Working Aesthetics addresses the relationship between labour and art work under capitalism.

The subject of work within art was largely muted within the historical narratives of modernism, due to the privileging of the artist’s hand and personality in analyses of art. The rise and dominance of collective artistic practice within the neoliberal period has allowed for this analysis to reconsider how artists work collectively. This book presents new readings of social models of artistic labour alongside the ideological changes accompanying contemporary capitalism.

A History of Light

The Idea of Photography Junko Theresa Mikuriya, University of West London, UK When was photography invented? In 1826 with the first permanent photograph? If we depart from the technologically oriented accounts and consider photography as a philosophical discourse an alternative history appears, one which examines the human impulse to reconstruct the photogogic or “the evoking of light”. The significance of the photagogic throughout the history of ideas is explored via the Platonic Dialogues, Iamblichus’ theurgic writings, Marsilio Ficino’s texts and the works of Renaissance magus John Dee. This alternative history is not a replacement of other narratives of photographic history but rather offers a way of rethinking photography’s ontological instability.

Advances in Experimental Philosophy of Aesthetics

How can paintings change the world today? This question fuelled the investigations of 20th-century philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty. The Question of Painting provides a chronological account of his unfolding project and its relationship with art, clarifying how painting helped him to access the fundamentally “intercorporeal” basis of reality as he saw it, and articulate its lived implications. With an exclusive conversation about the contemporary virtues of painting with artist Leah Durner, who is inspired by the work of Merleau-Ponty, The Question of Painting brings today’s much debated concerns about the criticality of painting into contact with the question of painting in philosophy.

Experimental philosophy has blossomed into a variety of philosophical fields including ethics, epistemology, metaphysics and philosophy of language. But there has been very little experimental philosophical research in the domain of philosophical aesthetics. Advances in Experimental Philosophy of Aesthetics introduces this burgeoning research field, presenting it both in its unity and diversity, and determining the nature and methods of an experimental philosophy of aesthetics.

Werner Herzog

Filmmaker and Philosopher Richard Eldridge, Swarthmore College, USA Werner Herzog’s films, both fictional and documentary, work towards the disclosure of fundamental philosophical truths. Partly this arises through a distinctive use of the camera, and partly through his choices of subject matter; obsessive individuals in extreme situations and archaic orprimitive settings. Using the Heideggerian notion of disclosure as an organizing framework, Eldridge elaborates on Herzog’s understandings of: nature in relation to Nietzsche; selfhood in relation to Heidegger; and history in relation to Benjamin. In each case, the focus is on how the films through their imagery, mise en scene, and narrative arcs develop and engage in philosophical views indistinctive and original ways.

Explaining Evil Four Views

Edited by W. Paul Franks, Tyndale University College, Canada If evil is a result of our having libertarian free will, why would God bother creating humans with such a will in the first place? If all human actions are ultimately determined by God, then why would he refrain from determining all humans to do the good? If naturalism is true, then how does ‘evil’ arise and why does it persist? Is one justified in saying that instances of pain and suffering are genuinely ‘evil’ at all?

In Explaining Evil four prominent philosophers, two theists and two non-theists, present their own account of why evil exists and respond to objections from fellow contributors.

Language, Music, and Cartesian Mind Reflections on Human Grammar

Nirmalangshu Mukherji, Indian Council of Philosophical Research, India The Cartesian conception of language and mind has governed theories of language for the last fifty years.

But while it accounts for our language capacity, to what extent can it account for our creation and cognition of musical expression? Drawing on textual evidence and contemporary research, Language, Music and Cartesian Mind examines Descartes’ doctrines and reveals a formal relationship between language and music.

A Philosophy of the Essay Scepticism, Experience and Style

Erin Plunkett, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Erin Plunkett argues that there is an internal relation between adopting a particular stance towards scepticism, and adopting the form of the essay to articulate that stance. The authors that are examined here—Montaigne, Hume, the early German Romantics, Kierkegaard and Stanley Cavell—represent an exemplary sample of philosophical essayists. Each author adopts a therapeutic approach to the problem of scepticism, situating the will to know within a broader frame of meaningful human activity. Plunkett demonstrates through their writings that skepticism is better suited to a friendly, fragmentary, nondogmatic style of writing.

An Epistemology of Noise

Cecile Malaspina, University of Paris Diderot, France "This is one of the freshest intellectual works I have read in recent years. If you did not previously recognize the philosophical significance of Claude Shannon, Warren Weaver, and Norbert Wiener, you will after reading this book.

Shannon’s paradoxical claim that information and noise are both forms of entropy is revived by Malaspina and developed with ideas drawn from Gilbert Simondon and Nicholas of Cusa. The result is a challenging and compelling experience for the reader, who will want to study this book multiple times."

A Critical Introduction to the Epistemology of Memory

Thomas D. Senor, University of Arkansas, USA In this clear and up-to-date introduction, Thomas D. Senor lays the philosophical foundation needed to understand the justification of memory belief. He surveys and defines key epistemological concepts and explores recent work in the psychology of memory, explaining why our naïve picture of memory as a storehouse is not realistic. Senor canvases the history of the epistemology of memory, discussing the work of Plato, Hume, Reid, and Russell before looking at what contemporary philosophers have to say. This is a valuable resource for students approaching epistemology for the first time or those looking to advance their understanding of a core area of philosophy.

Understanding Psychological Nominalism Edited by Patrick J. Reider, University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, USA This book is the first study of its kind to address a range of realist and idealist views inspired by psychological nominalism.

It also provides clarity on arguably the best available account of why humans can reason, be self-aware, know, and act as agents.

Contributors discuss a variety of objects including physical, scientific and mental ones, as well as things that appear to question the limits of objecthood, including holes, Quinean ‘posits’ and language.

Philosophical Thought in Russia in the Second Half of the 20th Century

Edited by Karyn Lai, University of New South Wales, Australia, Rick Benitez, University of Sydney, Australia & Hyun Jin Kim, University of Melbourne, Australia

Edited by Marina F. Bykova, North Carolina State University, USA & Vladislav A. Lektorsky, Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia

Both Ancient Chinese and Greek philosophers provide accounts of the life lived well: a Confucian junzi, a Daoist sage and a Greek phronimos. Cultivation in Early China and Ancient Greece engages in comparative, cross-tradition scholarship and investigates the processes associated with cultivating or nurturing the self in order to live such lives.

The first book of its kind to systematically cover an often misrepresented period in Russia’s philosophy. Focusing on philosophical ideas produced during the middle of the 20th century, it reconstructs the development of genuine philosophical thought in the Soviet period and introduces those non-dogmatic Russian philosophers interested in philosophy as a means of reforming social life.

Continental Philosophy and the Palestinian Question Beyond the Jew and the Greek

Zahi Zalloua, Whitman College, USA "This is an important book: a historically sensitive and theoretically rigorous intervention on behalf of the Palestinian cause and at the same time a thorough critique of every form of exceptionalism and exemplarity that shores up the totality of the human condition in the name of one chosen cause, suffering, or people. In addition, Zahi Zalloua does a commendable job of exposing the blind spots of so called radical continental philosophers and their Eurocentric mis-recognition of the Palestinian Question." R.

Traces of Racial Exception

Racializing Israeli Settler Colonialism Ronit Lentin, Independent Scholar, Ireland "An important contribution to theorizing the state of Israel. It is a bold, daring and brilliant anti-racist critical elucidation of the state of Israel, defining the Ashkenazi state and society as white supremacist with policies of dehumanization and elimination of the Other. By going beyond the ethnic/national paradigm, the book establishes race/racism as Israel’s settler colonial prime mover. Race and gender are intersected with the state’s settler colonial rule, enriching existing critical theorization of Israel. Evidence from the racialized everyday life experiences of Palestinian natives and non-white Jewish others is provided throughout the process of theorization.

From Nineteenth-Century Missionary Imaginings to the Contemporary Middle East

Farhang Erfani, The American University, Washington, USA Deconstruction is considered by many – including some non-Western philosophers – as the best philosophical ally for the peoples of the global south. This book challenges the sometimes facile manner in which Derrida's writings are used, offering a philosophical response to the growingcelebration of "moderate Islam". Farhang Erfani argues that Derrida not only adheres to the colonial paradigm and takes “Islam” as the only name available and subject to deconstruction for the Middle-East and North Africa, he also restores European centrality and supremacy.

Heraclitus is the first English translation of Volume 55 of the Martin Heidegger Gesamtausgabe. The book comprises two lecture courses delivered by Heidegger at the University of Freiburg during the summers of 1943 and 1944. Translating and interpreting the fragments of Heraclitus in idiosyncratic style, Heidegger presents an essential rethink of previous translations of the philosopher, questioning his interpretive authority. Moreover, his unique elucidation of the fragments sheds light on the broader field of Occidental thinking and its logic, including discussion of many hinkers such as Parmenides, Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Hölderlin, and Rilke.

Plato’s Trial of Athens

Mark A. Ralkowski, George Washington University, USA Providing a new answer to the question of why Socrates was prosecuted and sentenced to death by the democracy of Athens, Ralkowski demonstrates that several of Plato's dialogues carried a message designed to exonerate Socrates and instead indict his fellow Athenian citizens. Plato's many ominous allusions to Socrates' trial in the Gorgias, Symposium and Republic are evidence of an undisclosed political subtext to the trial and the city’s attitude toward Socrates. Plato’s Trial of Athens provides a fuller understanding of these works and supports a politically motivated interpretation of Socrates trial.

Plato and Plotinus on Mysticism, Epistemology, and Ethics

A Comparative Analysis of Cicero and Aquinas Nature and the Natural Law

Charles P. Nemeth, City University of New York, USA In A Comparative Analysis of Cicero and Aquinas, Charles P. Nemeth investigates how, despite their differences, these two figures may be the most compatible brothers in ideas ever conceived in the theory of natural law. Looking to find common threads that run between the philosophies of these two great thinkers of the Classical and Medieval periods, this book aims to determine whether or not there exists a common ground whereby ethical debates and dilemmas can be evaluated. Does comparison between Cicero and Aquinas offer a new pathway for moral measure, based on defined and developed principles? Do they deliver certain moral and ethical principles for human life to which each agree?

Instead of a polemical diatribe, comparison between Cicero and Aquinas may edify a method of compromise and afford a more or less restrictive series of judgements about ethical quandaries.

David J. Yount, Mesa Community College, USA

Beginning by examining the ways in which Plato and Plotinus claim that it is possible to have an ultimate experience that answers the most significant philosophical questions, David J. Yount provides an extended analysis of why we should interpret both philosophers as mystics. The book then moves on to demonstrate that both philosophers share a belief in non-discursive knowledge and the methods to attain it, including dialectic and recollection, and shows that they do not essentially differ on any significant views on ethics.

The Anti-Romantic

Hegel Against Ironic Romanticism Jeffrey Reid, University of Ottawa, Canada "The Anti-Romantic offers a brilliant and highly original perspective on Hegel's idea of philosophy as scientific discourse. Hegel's idea is presented indirectly through his polemic against the Romantic forms of irony defended by Friedrich Schlegel, Novalis and Schleiermacher. On the basis of his broad historical research, Reid presents the intriguing thesis that Hegel's critique of irony may be viewed as a critique of post-modernity."

Series Editor: Marco Sgarbi Aristotle's influence throughout the history of philosophical thought has been immense, and in recent years the study of Aristotelian philosophy has enjoyed a revival. However, Aristotelianism remains an incredibly polysemous concept, encapsulating many, often conflicting, definitions. This series responds to the need to define Aristotelianism and give rise to a clear characterisation.

Investigating the influence and reception of Aristotle's thought from classical antiquity to contemporary philosophy from a wide range of perspectives, this series reconstructs how philosophers have become acquainted with the tradition. The books go beyond simply ascertaining that there are Aristotelian doctrines within the works of various thinkers, but seek to understand how they have received and elaborated Aristotle's thought.

Elijah Del Medigo and Paduan Aristotelianism Investigating the Human Intellect

Michael Engel, University of Hamburg, Germany Elijah Del Medigo (1458-1493) was a Jewish Aristotelian philosopher living in Padua, whose work influenced many of the leading philosophers of the early Renaissance. This book places Del Medigo’s philosophical work and his ideas about the human intellect within the context of the wider Aristotelian tradition. Providing a detailed account of the unique blend of traditions that influenced the Two Investigations, it provides an important contribution to our understanding of Renaissance Aristotelianisms and scholasticisms.

Pontano’s Virtues

Phantasia in Aristotle's Ethics

Matthias Roick, University of Göttingen, Germany

Edited by Jakob Leth Fink, Gothenburg University, Sweden

Aristotelian Moral and Political Thought in the Renaissance Giovanni Pontano (1429-1503) was a key figure of the Italian Renaissance. Taking inspiration from Aristotle, Pontano wrote on topics such as prudence, fortune, magnificence, and the art of pleasant conversation. This book shows how Pontano’s rewriting of Aristotelian ethics affected not only his philosophical views, but also his political life and his place in the humanist movement. Drawing on Pontano’s treatises, dialogues, letters, poems and political writings, this book presents the first comprehensive study of Pontano’s moral and political thought.

ity and Authorship in Kierkegaard's Writings

Authorship and Authority in Kierkegaard's Writings Edited by Joseph Westfall, University of Houston-Downtown, USA

Authorship has long been recognized as an important issue in studies of the work of philosopher and theologian Søren Kierkegaard. From the use of multiple pseudonyms and antonyms, to contributions in across a spectrum of media and genres, such as journalism, religious discourses, diaries, short fictions and dramatic works, philosophical and theological treatises, issues of authorship abound.

This collection, by leading contemporary Kierkegaard scholars, examines the divisive question and practice of authorship in Kierkegaard from philosophical, literary and theological perspectives.

HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY

Bloomsbury Studies in the Aristotelian Tradition

Reception in the Arabic, Greek, Hebrew and Latin Traditions

This book investigates both Aristotle’s claim that ‘the principle does not immediately appear to the man who has been corrupted by pleasure or pain’ and its reception in various medieval Aristotelian traditions. Even when the hazards of transmission have left no explicit comments on this passage, Aristotle’s commentators still offer valuable interpretations of phantasia (representation) and its role in deliberation and action.

This volume casts light on these readings, showing how the distant voices from the medieval Arabic, Greek, Hebrew and Latin Aristotelian traditions still contribute substantially to contemporary debate concerning phantasia, motivation and deliberation in Aristotle’s Ethics.

HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY

The Golden Age of Philosophy of Science 1945 to 2000 Logical Reconstructionism, Descriptivism, Normative Naturalism, and Foundationalism

Conflict and Contest in Nietzsche's Philosophy

Edited by Herman Siemens, Leiden University, Netherlands & James Pearson, Leiden University, Netherlands

Featuring major figures of twentieth century science, and engaging with the work of previous philosophers of science, including Ernest Nagel, Rudolf Carnap, Karl Popper and Richard Dawkins, this volume tackles questions such as: should philosophy of science be a prescriptive discipline? How should competing philosophies of science be balanced? And finally, how can understanding the history of science aid us in analyzing the philosophy of science? In answering these questions it shows us why we understand science the way we do.

While Nietzsche’s works and ideas are relevant across the many branches of philosophy, the themes of contest and conflict have been mostly overlooked. This collection redresses this situation, arguing for the importance of these themes across Nietzsche’s work. It takes three key lines of inquiry: Nietzsche’s ontology of conflict; Nietzsche’s conception of the agon; and Nietzsche’s warrior-philosophy. Under these three umbrellas it brings together insightful and provocative essays considering, among other topics, Nietzsche’s understanding of resistance; his engagement with classical thinkers and his views on language, metaphor, revolt, and terror.

Series Editor: Miles Hollingworth Reading Augustine presents a new line of books offering personal and close readings of St. Augustine of Hippo from leading philosophers and religious scholars. The aim of the series is to make clear Augustine's importance to contemporary thought and to present Augustine not only or primarily as a pre-eminent Christian thinker but as a philosophical, spiritual, literary and intellectual icon of the West.

Rather than engage only with specific Christian or theological concerns, Reading Augustine explores topics aimed at a broader constituency of students and scholars, such as the nature of spiritual biography, Augustine as novelist, Augustine and the phenomenological tradition, and the relation of Augustinian and 21st-century moral positions.

On Consumer Culture, Identity, The Church and the Rhetorics of Delight Mark Clavier, University of Oxford, UK

Mark Clavier draws on Augustine of Hippo to provide a philosophical explanation for the success of marketing and consumer culture. Augustine’s thought, rooted in rhetorical theory, presented a brilliant understanding of the experiences of damnation and salvation that took seriously the often hidden psychology of human motivation. His keen insight into the power of delight over personal notions of freedom and self-identity can be used to shed light on how the constant lure of promised happiness shapes the identities of consumers. From Augustine’s perspective, it is only by addressing the sources of delight within consumerism and by rediscovering the wellsprings of spiritual thought that we can effectively challenge consumer culture.

On God, The Soul, Evil and the Rise of Christianity

John Peter Kenney, Saint Michael's College, USA Why did the ancients come to adopt monotheism and Christianity? On God, The Soul, Evil and the Rise of Christianity introduces possible answers to that question by looking closely at the development of the thought of Augustine of Hippo, whose complex spiritual trajectory included Gnosticism, academic skepticism, pagan Platonism, and orthodox Christianity. The apparently sudden shift of ancient culture to monotheism and Christianity was momentous, defining the subsequent nature of Western religion and thought. John Peter Kenney shows us that Augustine offers an unusually clear vantage point to understand the essential ideas that drove that transition.

Violence, Desire, and the Sacred Series Editors: Chris Fleming, Joel Hodge, Scott Cowdell Violence, Desire, and the Sacred is a series dedicated to the global development of mimetic theory. It includes historical and theoretical studies aimed at reconstructing the human sciences-addressing new issues, seizing interdisciplinary opportunities, and tackling global problems. It also sets about demonstrating the practical relevance of mimetic theory. This series breaks new ground, especially as a vehicle for the emerging second generation of Girardian scholars.

Violence, Desire, and the Sacred is an initiative of the Australian Girard Seminar, which was inaugurated in 2010 and has become a vigorous international contributor to Girardian studies.

René Girard and Raymund Schwager Correspondence 1974-1991

Does Religion Cause Violence?

“A touching testimony of growing friendship, alert contemporary companionship, and of passionate theology. Hardly anything compares in current intellectual life.” Józef Niewiadomski, University of Innsbruck, Austria

Edited by Joel Hodge, Australian Catholic University, Australia, Scott Cowdell, Charles Sturt University, Australia, Chris Fleming, Western Sydney University, Australia & Carly Osborn, University of Adelaide, Australia

This volume presents the correspondence—conducted in French and as yet unpublished, let alone translated into English—between René Girard and his theological interlocutor Raymund Schwager SJ. It reveals the personal relationship between two great thinkers that contributed to the theological development of Girard’s thought and his eventual entry, in part thanks to Schwager's help, into the mainstream of theological debate.

Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Violence and Religion in the Modern World

This volume explores contemporary instances of religious violence, such as Islamist terrorism and radicalization in its various political, economic, religious, military and technological dimensions, as well as the legitimacy and efficacy of modern cultural mechanisms to contain violence. It brings together the insights of René Girard, the premier theorist of violence in the 20th century, with the latest scholarship on religion and violence, particularly exploring the nature of extremist violence.

I recommend it highly." Grant Kaplan, Saint Louis University, USA How are we to best understand the statement of faith that Jesus Christ lived, died and rose again ‘for us and for salvation?’ René Girard made startling connections between religion, violence and culture and enlivened once again the debates around the question of whether and how we are to understand Christ’s death as a ‘sacrifice’. This volume brings together philosophers from Catholic, Evangelical and Orthodox backgrounds to examine Girard’s work.

Lonergan, Meaning and Method Philosophical Essays

Andrew Beards, School of the Annunciation, UK “Andrew Beards is one of the most insightful and lucid students of Lonergan alive today. This book builds on previous exercises in proposing a critical realist 'third way' that can breach the 'Berlin wall' between continental philosophy and analytic philosophy. It deserves to be widely read and deeply considered.”

Rev. Gerard Whelan SJ, Pontifical Gregorian University, Italy Bernard Lonergan is acknowledged as one of the most significant philosopher-theologians of the twentieth century. Lonergan, Meaning and Method brings Lonergan’s thought into critical dialogue with other contemporary philosophical interlocutors, introducing themes and arguments from the analytic and continental traditions.

Between Death and Resurrection A Critical Response to Recent Catholic Debate Concerning the Intermediate State Stephen Yates, Maryvale Institute, UK “An admirably fair, thorough, and comprehensive account of its crucial if unfashionable subjectmatter, and a vindication of the role of a lucid rationality in the service of orthodoxy.” Aidan Nichols O.P., Blackfriars, Cambridge, UK The question of death and resurrection has traditionally been answered in terms of the disembodied souls of human beings awaiting bodily resurrection. Since the 1960s, Catholic theologians have proposed two alternatives: resurrection at death into the Last Day, or resurrection in death into an interim state in which the embodied dead await, with us, the final consummation of all things. Between Death and Resurrection examines the philosophical and theological reasons for these alternatives.

Mimetic Theory and Film

Edited by Paolo Diego Bubbio, Western Sydney University, Australia & Chris Fleming, Western Sydney University, Australia In La Conversion de l’art, Rene Girard asserted that the novel may be an “outmoded” form for revealing humans to themselves. However, Girard never specified what, if anything, might take the place of the novel. This collection of essays is one attempt at answering this question, by offering a series of analyses of films that aims to test mimetic theory in an area in which relatively little has so far been offered. One of the main questions that this collection considers considers is: can we develop a genre-specific mimetic analysis (of film), and are we able to develop anything approaching a “Girardian aesthetic”?

Heidegger between Nietzsche and Wittgenstein Edited by Antonio Cimino, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands & Gert-Jan van der Heiden, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands “A philosophical tour de force which floods new light onto those traumas of faith or trust which we cannot escape.”

Ward Blanton, University of Kent, UK Rethinking Faith explores how the phenomena of religion and faith are present in the works of Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein, and how these phenomena are brought into play in their discussion of the classical metaphysical motives they criticize. Despite important differences, all three are guided by similar questions and remain reference points for contemporary philosophical debates relating to the phenomenon of religion and faith.

Enactment, Politics, and Truth

Pauline Themes in Agamben, Badiou, and Heidegger Antonio Cimino, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands Antonio Cimino develops a new interpretation of Saint Paul’s influence on contemporary philosophy by focusing on the question of how thinkers such as Agamben, Badiou, and Heidegger understand the articulation of faith (pistis) on the basis of their own readings of the Pauline letters. Cimino analyzes both secret or unsuspected convergences and important differences between the interpretations of Saint Paul that have been developed by Agamben, Badiou, and Heidegger. In doing so, he goes beyond an immanent reading of these three authors and shows the shared post-metaphysical horizon in which their interest in Saint Paul should be located.

J. K. Huysmans and the Immemorial Origin of Metaphysics "Insightful reflections on origin, time, and narrative, as well as deep engagement with both the classical and modern philosophical traditions."

Cyril O’Regan, University of Notre Dame, USA Immediacy and Meaning seeks to approach the odd uneasiness at root in all metaphysical meaning; that the human knower attempts to mediate what cannot be mediated; that there is a pre-cognitive immemorial immediacy to Being that renders its participants irreducible, incommunicable and personal. It is an attempt to pause, but without retreat, to be a spectator within the game, to gain access into this immediate Presence, for a moment only perhaps, before the signatory failure into metaphysical language returns us to the mediated.

Religion, Politics, and Culture in Late Modernity

This collection both reflects and contributes to the recent surge of philosophical interest in The Antichrist and represents a major contribution to Nietzsche studies.

Nietzsche regarded The Antichrist, along with Zarathustra, as his most important work. In it he outlined many epoch-defining ideas, including his dawning realisation of the ‘death of God’ and the inception of a new, post-moral epoch in Western history. Until now, there has been no book that attempts to account with philosophical precision for the multiple themes addressed in this difficult and complex work.

PHILOSOPHICAL THEOLOGY

Dual Citizenship

Two-Natures Christologies and the Jewish Jesus Kayko Driedger Hesslein, Graduate Theological Union, USA Political theories of multiculturalism are used to construct a Christology to propose that Jesus’ Jewishness (his past), his divine transcendence, and his relationship with Christians today (his contemporary presence) are all formative of one another in the person of Christ. Kayko Driedger Hesslein makes a convincing case for the necessity and possibility of a non-supersessionist Christology that falls within two-natured christologies. The book introduces multicultural theory as a framework for conceptualizing how Jesus can be authentically Jewish and embedded in contextual Christian communities simultaneously.

The Freedom to Become a Christian

A Kierkegaardian Account of Human Transformation in Relationship with God Andrew B. Torrance, St Mary's School of Divinity, University of St Andrews, UK The Kierkegaardian account of becoming a Christian has come to be perceived in radically egocentric terms. Torrance challenges this perception by demonstrating that Kierkegaard was devoted to the idea of Christian conversion as a transformative process of becoming. Torrance focuses on 'becoming a Christian' as a particular theological theme that deserves further attention — how 'becoming a Christian' or Christian transformation should be construed in relation to God's initiating and active relationship to the person. He also considers how Kierkegaard was able to negotiate his emphasis on the God-relationship with his emphasis on the importance of individual reflection, decision and action in the Christian life.

Edited by David J. Gouwens, Brite Divinity School, USA & Aaron Edwards, Cliff College, UK Beginning with essays on key interpretive factors involved in approaching Kierkegaard's complex corpus, there are also historical accounts of his theological development, followed by – for the first time in a single volume – focused expositions of Kierkegaard's approach to particular doctrinal themes, from those oft-discussed in his work (e.g. Christology) to those more understated (e.g.

Pneumatology). The book concludes with possible theological trajectories for Kierkegaard's thought in the 21st century.

Imitating Christ in Magwi

Edited by Rebecca Todd Peters, Elon University, USA & Grace Yia-Hei Kao, Claremont School of Theology, USA

Todd D. Whitmore, University of Notre Dame, USA

Feminist Reflections on Women's Lives

For the last fifty years, feminist theologians have sought to reimagine Christian theology in ways that speak to the realities and complexities of women’s lives. They have also sought to use women’s experience as the starting point for theological reflection in the same way that men’s lives have shaped the history of Christian theology for the past 2000 years. In this book, feminist Christian scholars of theology and religion use the tools of their trade to examine powerful personal life experiences and to search for new and empowering ways of understanding the power of the sacred as they have experienced it.

An Anthropological Theology

This book achieves two things. First, focusing on indigenous Roman Catholics in northern Uganda and South Sudan, it is a detailed ethnography of how a community sustains hope in the midst of one of the most brutal wars in recent memory - that between the Ugandan government and the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army. Second, it puts out a call for theology itself to be a practice of imitating Christ.

Such practice requires both living among people on the far margins of society and articulating a theology that foregrounds the daily, if extraordinary, lives of people.

The Freedom of a Christian Ethicist

Christ, Church and World

Edited by Brian Brock, University of Aberdeen, UK & Michael Mawson, University of Aberdeen, UK

Edited by Michael Mawson, University of Aberdeen, UK & Philip G. Ziegler, University of Aberdeen, UK

The Future of a Reformation Legacy

"Recent Protestant ethics is notable for its ecumenism. This provocative volume - without anxiety, caricature, or triumphalism - adopts a fresh approach by rethinking the distinctive legacies of various Reformation sources themselves.

At a time when this inheritance can be met with indifference or suspicion, The Freedom of a Christian Ethicist assembles a stellar group of essays that speak to urgent questions of theory and practice. This diverse assessment by leading scholars will be of interest to many beyond the "guild" of Christian ethics. But it is a must read for those within it."

The Seductiveness of Virtue

Abraham Joshua Heschel and John Paul II on Morality and Personal Fulfillment John J. Fitzgerald, St. John's University, New York, USA "[F]or those who do regard happiness as life’s summum bonum, Fitzgerald’s brief book is an excellent place to look if one is searching for substantive suggestions on how not only to pursue happiness but to achieve it. The Seductiveness of Virtue, in putting two of the most important modern theologians of their respective faiths in conversation with each other on the topic of whether living ethically can lead to happiness, results in a felicitous theological antiphony, and makes for an excellent contribution to the fields of interfaith dialogue, moral theology, and comparative ethics."

THEOLOGICAL ETHICS

T&T Clark Enquiries in Theological Ethics Series Editors: Brian Brock, University of Aberdeen, UK & Susan F. Parsons, editor of Studies of Christian Ethics Particularly since the mid-20th century, the fields of Christian ethics and moral theology have expanded and flourished within the academy and have found expression in a range of engagements with issues arising in personal and public life. Theologians of differing ecclesial loyalties have found common concerns within the discipline of theological ethics, developing deeper intellectual friendships through fresh critical investigations of the Christian inheritance and the modes of godly being it commends. This series seeks to foster that spirit as a witness of Christian faith in the contemporary world among those of other faiths and of none.

Sabbath Rest as Vocation

The Limit of Responsibility

Autumn Alcott Ridenour, Merrimack College, USA

Esther D. Reed, University of Exeter, UK

Aging Toward Death

“Through its insightful interpretations of Augustine and Barth and its deep understanding of the later stages of life, this wonderful book reclaims aging as a moral and spiritual practice, not only for the aging themselves but also for those who accompany them. It is both theologically rich and practically wise, and it deftly manages to be hopeful without being sanguine. I strongly recommend it to everyone who is concerned with the theology, ethics, or pastoral care of the aging and especially to those who are preparing for this stage of life.” Gerald McKenny, University of Notre Dame, USA

This volume frames the question of responsibility as a problem of agency in relation to the systems and structures of globalization. According to Ricoeur responsibility is a “shattered concept” when considered too narrowly as a problem of act, agency and individual freedom. To examine this Esther Reed engages with writings by major modern (Schleiermacher, Hegel, Marx, Weber) and post-liberal (Buber, Levinas, Derrida, Badiou, Butler, Young, Critchley) theorists to illustrate the shift from an ethnic responsibility built on notions of accountability and attributions to an ethic responsibility that starts variously from the ‘other’.

The Promise of Martin Luther's Political Theology

Beginnings: Interrogating Hauerwas

Michael Richard Laffin, University of Aberdeen, UK

Edited by Kevin Hargaden, University of Aberdeen, UK

Freeing Luther from the Modern Political Narrative

Laffin demonstrates the promise of Martin Luther’s thought for contemporary political theology by showing how Luther has been over-determined in his shaping of modernity, which frequently deafens us to his unique contribution. In contrast to the dominant narratives of political modernity, Laffin focuses on the political significance of areas in Luther’s corpus often neglected in modern accounts of his political thought, especially his commentaries on scripture and writings on the sacraments.

Brian Brock interviews Stanley Hauerwas and discusses a wide variety of topics: the role of autobiography in Christian ethics, the problem of race in the modern academy, Hauerwas' work on disability, his criticism of the discipline of medical ethics, his views on just war and pacifism, and gender.

Brock challenges Hauerwas to talk about his positions on issues that he normally does not discuss, including accusations of his racism, misogyny, and that his position on Yoder is too forgiving.

Exploring the Future of Theology, Human Culture and Space Sciences

The discussion offered in this volume sees the 'community' as central to a sustainable and ethical approach to earth and space sciences. The essays examine the role of theology in this communal approach, but recognize theology itself as part of a community of humanities disciplines. The volume acknowledges the plurality of views on the contemporary interaction between science, ethics and theology, aesthetics, philosophy of science and shows how a constructive and sustainable dialogue is needed within the current scientific climate.

Christian Reflections on the Philosophy of Medicine

Medical and bioethical issues have spawned a great deal of debate in both public and academic contexts. Little has been done, however, to engage with the underlying issues of the nature of medicine and its role in human community. Andrew Sloane fills that gap by providing Christian philosophical and theological reflections on the nature and purposes of medicine, and its role in a Christian understanding of human society. Sloane provides Christians with a coherent and integrated understanding of medicine as a social practice which challenges assumptions about the nature of medicine.

David L. Clough, University of Chester, UK

Volume II: Theological Ethics This volume follows on from On Animals Volume I: Systematic Theology (2012). Here, Clough argues that Christian beliefs about other animals and their place before God have radical implications for changed practice in human dealings with other animals. Following an introduction examining the task of theological ethics in relation to animals and the way it relates to other accounts of animal ethics, the book is structured around particular topics: using other animals for food, for clothing, as research subjects, as labourers, for sport and entertainment, as pets or companions, and as the targets of environmental and conservation initiatives.

Space, Time and Resurrection Thomas F. Torrance

Thomas F. Torrance sets out the biblical approach to the Resurrection in terms of the intrinsic significance of the resurrected one, Jesus; and demonstrates that the Resurrection is entirely consistent with who Jesus was and what he did. The Resurrection is thus taken realistically, and treated as of the same nature, in the integration of physical and spiritual existence, as the death of Christ. This classic volume from one of the premier English speaking theologian of the 20th century remains an important contribution to the field of systematic theology. For this Cornerstones edition the preface is written by Paul D. Molnar.

Understanding Affections in the Theology of Jonathan Edwards “The High Exercises of Divine Love”

Ryan J. Martin, First Baptist Church of Grannite Falls, USA While reading Jonathan Edwards’s references to “affections” or “passions” in his Christian classic A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections, most contemporary readers assume that he is referring to the same thing that they call “emotions.” Martin argues that the notion of “affections” in Jonathan Edwards meant something very different from what contemporary English speakers call “emotions.” Edwards’s notions of affections came almost entirely from traditional Christian theology in general and the Reformed tradition in particular. Martin shows that Christian theologians for centuries emphasized affection for God, associated affections with the will, and distinguished affections from passions.

Divine Simplicity A Dogmatic Account

Steven J. Duby, Grand Canyon University, USA "What a magnificent book. The philosophical erudition of this book alone makes it worthwhile - Duby has a mastery of classical and analytic metaphysics. To this mastery, he adds a rich set of biblical reflections on his theme, demonstrating an equally sure-handed exegetical gift. And his brilliance in drawing upon the Church Fathers, Thomas Aquinas, and especially the greatest Protestant Scholastics forms yet another major contribution. In sum, this book is a surpassing theological achievement of the very highest order. I commend it gratefully as required reading for all Christian theologians and philosophers."

Volume 1: God and the Works of God

Volume 2: Virtue and Intellect

"Webster’s commitment to comment on the nature of theology, the place of each doctrine as well as its content, and to wrestle with people who disagree on both topics, makes for a read which is, in a particular sense of the word, entertaining. …[God Without Measure, Vol. 1] offers an appeal to most every theologically minded reader regarding where theology has been and where it is going." Princeton Theological Review

"Webster’s untimely death prevented him from completing his larger systematic project, and these two volumes can only whet the appetite of those who looked forward to that project. Yet, they may also stir up a thirst for something much greater than his dogmatics or any work of pilgrim theology for that matter. They may stir up a thirst for the living waters, and in so doing encourage pilgrims on their journey toward the visio Dei." Theology and History

Pentecostal Theology Living the Full Gospel

Wolfgang Vondey, University of Birmingham, UK "Vondey’s presentation of Pentecostal theology is a winsome, masterful account attuned to all the latest in Pentecostal scholarship. It is both innovative in its presentation of the whole of the Pentecostal full gospel narrative as centred around the altar, and yet broadly Pentecostal—and, at points, ecumenical—in its constructive appeal. It will gain a wide readership, and justly so. Indeed, it is the ideal book for an upperlevel undergraduate or graduate course on Pentecostal theology."

Together, they reveal what Francis’s use of these words says about him, his ministry and priorities, and their significance to the church, the world, and the lives of individual Christians. The entire collection is introduced by a foreword by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the spiritual leader of Orthodox Christians worldwide, and a preface by one of Francis’s closest advisers, Cardinal Seán O’Malley.

This is no set of encyclopaedia entries. It is instead a reflective, inspiring, and often heartfelt book that offers engaging answers to the question ‘What is this surprising Pope up to?’

Catholic Social Teaching: A Guide for the Perplexed Anna Rowlands, Durham University, UK

Offers an accessible guide to the main time periods, key figures, documents and themes of thinking developed as Catholic Social Teaching (CST).

Rowlands takes a fresh approach by building an overview of the central principles of CST with case studies that relate to contemporary social policy themes, and by considering the increasingly critical questions concerning the role of CST in a pluralist and post-secular context. This is an incisive overview of this distinctive body of Catholic political theology, and a new and challenging contribution to the debate about the transformative potential of CST in contemporary society.

Judith A. Merkle, Niagara University, NY, USA "This groundbreaking volume quickly gathers a splendid momentum. Beginning with the simple question 'What is charism', Merkle proceeds to explore the place of charism within our search for meaning, the dynamics of human development, and ultimately the prospects for a healthy revival of the institutional church. Anyone who yearns for a thorough renewal of Christian community, vocation, ministry and spirituality will absolutely race from chapter to chapter. I recommend it most highly."

Theology at the Crossroads of University, Church and Society

Dialogue, Difference and Catholic Identity Lieven Boeve, KU Leuven, Belgium Examines the place of theology in the university, the church and society and emphasizes that theology certainly belongs to all of these three domains as it belongs to the nature of theology to involve itself in all three spheres, especially at the crossroads where they overlap. With current discussions on theology as reference points, Boeve offers a reflection on Catholic identity today.

T&T Clark Studies in Edward Schillebeeckx Series Editors: Frederiek Depoortere, KU Leuven, Belgium, Kathleen McManus, O.P., University of Portland, USA & Stephan van Erp, KU Leuven, Belgium This series engages with the theological legacy of the internationally renowned Flemish-Dutch Dominican, Edward Schillebeeckx (19142009), the most important Dutch-speaking Catholic theologian of the 20th century. The volumes in this series further the reader's understanding of Schillebeeckx's theology in its context, using detailed analysis of both his more famous and less well-known texts, and providing innovative research that continues his ideas and methods in dialogue with new contexts and theological developments.

A Politics of Grace

Hope for Redemption in a PostChristendom Context Christiane Alpers, Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Germany "This is the best book on Edward Schillebeeckx’s theology that I have read. Alpers demonstrates that Schillebeeckx presents a starting point for political theology today, in our secular age, that can stand up against the alternatives on offer. Combining theoretical rigor and theological sophistication, with this book Alpers establishes herself as a leader among her generation of political theologians."

Eschatological Hermeneutics

The Theological Core of Experience and Our Hope for Salvation Daniel Minch, KU Leuven, Belgium Eschatology - the Christian expectation of final salvation from God - is the foundation for exploring Edward Schillebeeckx's work here. Daniel Minch analyses his hermeneutical theology, informed by access to original texts previously unavailable in English. He examines the historical and doctrinal origins of his methodology, hermeneutics as human experience, and the continuing relevance of the approach today.

Poulsom, Heythrop College, UK & Lieven Boeve, KU Leuven, Belgium "A valuable and provocative dialogue about how to construct a social-political theology of grace in the context of globalization, suffering, violence, ecological crisis, and religious pluralism. Inspired by the efforts of Edward Schillebeeckx to craft a credible Christian theology of hope in a secularized and suffering world, theologians from diverse backgrounds and fields have taken up that challenge anew in the proposals in this volume for a public theology for the third millennium.

T&T Clark Companion to Edward Schillebeeckx Edited by Stephan van Erp, KU Leuven, Belgium & Daniel Minch, KU Leuven, Belgium

Schillebeeckx's thought was deeply rooted in Thomist metaphysics, which he brought into dialogue with the existential phenomenonolgy of his time. Together with contemporaries Yves Congar, Karl Rahner and Marie-Dominique Chenu, Schillebeeckx played a key role in the preparations for the theology of the Second Vatican Council. This Companion offers the first overview of all the historical, philosophical, political and theological aspects of his work.

Now available in paperback, the 11 volumes collected here represent Schillebeeckx’s most important and influential works. All translations have been carefully checked or revised, and some texts are presented in English for the first time. The page numbers of earlier editions are included, and each volume carries a foreword by an internationally renowned Schillebeeckx expert.

The Collected Works of Edward Schillebeeckx Volume 1 Christ the Sacrament of the Encounter with God Edward Schillebeeckx Schillebeeckx draws on theologically fruitful work by phenomenological anthropologists like MerleauPonty, Buytendijk and Binswanger. He rediscovers the notions forged by scholastic theology, and thus restores to us a theology of the sacraments rooted in the biblical and patristic soil from which they first sprang. He describes Christ as the primordial sacrament in a reflection on his public ministry, death and resurrection inspired by the universal human search for such a 'sacrament'. He concludes that the church's sacraments have to be an earthly extension of the liberation brought

by Christ's story.

Revelation and Theology

This is Schillebeeckx’s general introduction to theology. Its fifteen chapters were originally published separately between 1954 and 1962, but the thematic collection offers a vivid picture of the theological renewal in the wake of World War II. Throughout there are pointers to the (at that time new) ecumenical approach to Scripture and tradition, and the problem concerning the function of the scholastic tradition is highlighted. Although Schillebeeckx draws extensively on Thomas Aquinas’s thinking, this early work already shows that he is not a (neo) Thomist in the narrow sense of the word.

Edward Schillebeeckx World and Church deals with the conflict between religiosity and life in the world. This volume includes thoughts on pastoral work among the working class and the then popular pretres-ouvriers movement. Schillebeeckx looks at some social problems and the mutual interrogation of believers and non-believers, also in light of the ideological compartmentalisation ('pillarization') evident in diverse spheres of European society: education, social work and health care. Schillebeeckx concludes by considering the responsibility of Catholic intellectuals and academics for the future of the world and the church, including the possible significance of a Catholic university.

God the Future of Man

God the Future of Man focuses on religion and secularisation, viewed from various vantage points: secularisation and God-talk; secularisation and the church's liturgy; secularisation and the church's new selfunderstanding; and, finally, secularisation and the future of humankind on earth in light of the eschaton (church and social politics). These thought-provoking reflections are presented against the backdrop of Schillebeeckx's hermeneutic premises. In the concluding chapter his reflections on secularisation culminate in a God concept that can function fruitfully in a modern culture that assigns the future pride of place: God as the future of humankind.

The Understanding of Faith.

In short, what are the possibilities and limits of the understanding of faith in our modern age? Schillebeeckx’s innovation was to extend hermeneutic thinking to the possibilities and limits of interpreting the entire Christian tradition, including its definition in systematic theology.

EDWARD SCHILLEBEECKX COLLECTED WORKS

The Collected Works of Edward Schillebeeckx Volume 6 Jesus: An Experiment in Christology Edward Schillebeeckx

Christ: The Christian Experience in the Modern World Edward Schillebeeckx

The existence of the historical Jesus cannot be doubted. But who was Jesus of Nazareth? And who is he for us today? In this controversial work Schillebeeckx offers his ‘experiment’: an informative and sustained hermeneutical reflection on the story of Jesus. He presents a Christology ‘from below’, rooted in the synoptic gospels, but especially in Mark and in the Q tradition. At the same time he is clearly interested in portraying ‘the historical Jesus’ as both Proclaimer and Proclaimed. Is the promise of salvation only to be found in Jesus Christ because he was a gift from God, as the Gospels tell us?

This volume is a testimony of Schillebeeckx’ ground breaking attempt to rethink doctrine in the light of the research on the historical Jesus. Instead of starting with Christianity’s great creedal statements about Christ and the Trinity, he focuses on the subjective experience of the first generations of believers as expressed in the New Testament. This choice stirred considerable controversy and a Vatican investigation but inspired and still keeps to inspire readers in their personal approach to Christian faith.

Interim Report on the Books "Jesus" and "Christ" Edward Schillebeeckx

The Collected Works of Edward Schillebeeckx Volume 9 The Church with a Human Face Edward Schillebeeckx

This book is about presuppositions and methods of interpretation. Schillebeeckx begins by looking once again at the nature of revelation, at the ways in which religious faith is experienced and expressed in the modern world, and at sources of authority. He then discusses specific criticisms. Can he be called a neo-liberal? Does he devalue the church's tradition? Is his Christology inadequate? What does he really believe concerning the resurrection?

Then, towards the end, in some poetically powerful passages, he turns once again to the nature of the Kingdom of God, creation and salvation.

The work outlines the evolution of ecclesiastical office, starting with Jesus Christ and his messianic community, followed by a description of the practice and theology of ministry in the early Christian communities, and tracing different forms of ministry in the history of the Church. Of particular interest is the section on the ‘Complaints of the People’, which deals with the discontent of many connected with the position of women and married priests. As long as women are not allowed to participate fully in the decisions of the Church, Schillebeeckx argues, they will not be liberated, and their complaints will remain a fundamental charge that challenges the church.

Church: The Human Story of God

By the end of the 20th century, many believers have left the unworldly 'super-naturalistic' preconciliar church behind. Those who leave the church, often leave a church that claims to be the direct mediator of God's will. However, the church is not a flawless gift from heaven, it is the vulnerable work of human beings which tries to find accurate ways to comply to the heart of the gospel message. This book therefore contains the testimony of a theologian who tried, during the course of his life, to describe what God can mean for people today.

A New Biography Philip C. Almond, University of Queensland, Australia In this sequel to his earlier biography of the Devil, Philip Almond reveals that – whether in Judaism, Christianity or Islam – God is seen to be at once utterly beyond our world yet at the same earnestly desiring to be at one with it. The way such paradoxes have been understood is, the author demonstrates, the key to unlocking the entire history of religion in the West. Expertly placing the narrative of divine presence within the wider history of ideas, Almond suggests that the notion of a deity has been the single greatest conundrum of medieval and modern civilization.

A Short History of the Reformation

Helen L. Parish, University of Reading, UK When, in 1517, Martin Luther wrote his Ninety-Five Theses he shattered the foundations of western Christendom. The Reformation that followed Luther’s protest against the sale of indulgences fragmented the Church. But it did more, challenging the relationship between spiritual and secular authority, perceptions of the supernatural, the interpretation of the past, the role of women and clerical attitudes towards marriage and sex. Helen Parish here locates the Reformation in its many cultural, social and political contexts. She assesses the Reformers’ impact on art and architecture; on notions of authority, scripture and tradition; and on oral, print and written culture.

A History of Anglican Exorcism

John Binns, Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies, UK

Francis Young, Royal Historical Society, UK

A History

Ethiopia has the longest archaeological record of any country in the world. It is also home to an ancient church with a remarkable legacy. The Church of Ethiopia is the only pre-colonial church in subSaharan Africa with a membership of around 40 million. This book is the first major study of a community which has developed a distinctive approach set apart from all other churches. John Binns explains how its special features have shaped the life of the Ethiopian people, and how political changes since the overthrow of Haile Selassie have forced the Church to rethink its identity.

The Old Believers in Imperial Russia

Oppression, Opportunism and Religious Identity in Tsarist Moscow Peter T. De Simone, Utica College, USA While scholars have commonly painted the history of the Old Believers as one of survival in the face of persistent persecution at the hands of both tsarist and church authorities, Peter De Simone here offers a more nuanced picture.

Based on research into mostly unknown archival materials, he shows them as versatile and opportunistic, and demonstrates that they actively engaged with, and even challenged, the very notion of the spiritual and ideological place of Moscow. Ranging in scope from Peter the Great to Lenin, this book will be of use to all scholars of Russian and Orthodox Church history.

The author explains how and why how such a remarkable transformation in the Church’s attitude to the rite of exorcism took place, while also setting his subject against the canvas of the wider history of ideas.

CHRISTIAN STUDIES

Democracy and the Christian Churches

Anglicanism, Methodism and Ecumenism

Ecumenism and the Politics of Belief

A History of of the Queen's and Handsworth Colleges

Donald W. Norwood, University of Oxford, UK How has Christianity engaged with democracy?

Donald Norwood reflects on the way that democracy has become, especially under the auspices of the UN and the World Council of Churches, not just an ideal but a universally applicable moral principle. Yet, as the author demonstrates, faith and democracy have not always sat comfortably together. Norwood argues that if democracy is a universal norm, a basic right, it is not possible for the Church to be indifferent to its claims. This is a sustained exposition – from Marsilius of Padua to Christian Democracy and Christian Socialism – of the often uneasy interaction between Christianity and democratic politics as both idea and ideal.

Andrew Chandler, University of Chichester, UK For almost 200 years Birmingham has been a key location for the training of clergy. From 1828 Anglicans studied at the Queen’s College and in 1881 the Methodists developed their own facility at Handsworth College.

Andrew Chandler here examines these two colleges. This is a history not simply of the creation and evolution of these institutions, but a study full of significance for the wider history of Christianity in British society. Chandler blends local, national and international dimensions and shows how two theological colleges experienced all kinds of intellectual, cultural, social and political history in a period of change.

Series Editors: Karen Kilby, University of Durham, UK, Michael Higton, University of Durham, UK & Stephen R. Holmes, University of St Andrews, UK The historiography of English theology is underdeveloped. A great deal of scholarship has focused on particular traditions - Anglican theology, or English nonconformity, for example - but these traditions have generally been read in dialogue with international movements, rather than with each other. Alongside this, there has been a persistent suspicion that English theology has generally been weaker than Scottish or German theology for example, a suspicion addressed

by English theologians themselves from time to time. By producing high-quality works devoted specifically to English theology, this series draws attention to both individual theologians and the contribution of English theology as a tradition, and enables a more accurate evaluation of their, and its, significance.

Donald MacKinnon's Theology

To Perceive Tragedy Without the Loss of Hope Andrew Bowyer, Trinity College, Cambridge, UK Bowyer outlines MacKinnon’s contribution and context, as well as characterising his work as a form of “therapeutic” moral philosophy that combines a call for intense self-awareness together with a commitment to realist notions of moral “factuality”. Bowyer examines the key influences on MacKinnon’s thought, his focus on Christology, his engagement with literature and literary criticism, as well as his response to Wittgenstein’s later philosophy. This volume offers an appreciation of his contribution and a critique of his legacy.

Brett Gray’s exploration demonstrates—I think accurately—a consistency in Williams’s approach that might be described as orthodoxy with a postmodern twist."

Urban Ecclesiology

Gospel of Mark, Familia Dei and a Filipino Community Facing Homelessness Pascal D. Bazzell, Humboldt-University of Berlin, Germany “How can the Church be a community of love and justice to migrants who live in cities, often as homeless? This challenging questions is addressed, with bold imagination and theological depth, by Pascal D. Bazzell. On the basis of biblical teaching and the best contemporary theology of mission Bazzell puts forth an 'embodies ecclesiology' in which the church functions as familia Dei, an image appealing not only to Filipinos but also to all who work with and for the poor. I most strongly recommend this book for pastors and theologians alike.” Peter Phan, Georgetown University, USA.

A Plague on Both Their Houses

Liberal vs. Conservative Christians and the Divorce of the Episcopal Church USA Christopher Craig Brittain, Trinity College, University of Toronto, Canada Christopher Craig Brittain offers a wide-ranging examination of specific events within The Episcopal Church (TEC) by drawing upon an analysis of theological debates within the church, field interviews in church congregations, and sociological literature on church conflict. The discussion demonstrates that interpretations describing the situation in TEC as a 'Culture War' between Liberals and Conservatives are deeply flawed. Moreover, Brittain shows that the splits that are occurring within the national church are not so much schisms in the technical sociological sense, but are more accurately described as a familial divorce, with all the ongoing messy entwinement that this term evokes.

A Theology of Preaching and Dialectic

Scriptural Tension, Heraldic Proclamation and the Pneumatological Moment Aaron Edwards, Cliff College, UK "Should preachers feel incapacitated by the apparent lack of unity in the biblical message? In this wide-ranging study, Aaron Edwards urges preachers to shake off their lack of confidence and instead to trust that they have been called to preach with abandon in the power of the Spirit – even if the Sunday morning message may seem imbalanced.

Edwards’s theology of preaching offers solid reasons to proclaim the gospel with authority in the midst of an apparent cacophony of voices."

Rowan Williams, Magdalene College, Cambridge, UK

In this wide-ranging book, Rowan Williams argues that what we say about Jesus Christ is key to understanding what Christian belief says about creator and creation overall. Through detailed discussion of texts from the earliest centuries to the present day, we can come to see the various and subtle ways in which Christians have discovered in their reflections on Christ the possibility of a deeply affirmative approach to creation and a set of radical insights in ethics and politics as well.

The Shattering of Loneliness On Christian Remembrance Erik Varden Erik Varden is abbot of the only Cistercian monastery in England. The theme of his reflective book is ‘Remembrance’. Taking half a dozen Biblical injunctions to ‘remember’, Varden performs a close reading of the texts, then lodges them in lived experience through examples from biography, literature, and liturgy.

His topics include ‘Remember you are dust’, ‘Remember you were slaves in Egypt’, and Jesus’s instruction, ‘Do this in remembrance of me’.

The abbey’s monks follow a lifestyle largely unchanged for 900 years; Varden’s book will fascinate anyone interested in the contemplative life, monasticism, and the pursuit of an undivided heart.

Touched by God

The way to contemplative prayer Luigi Gioia, Pontifical University of Sant’Anselmo, Rome, Italy and University of Cambridge, UK

Prayer: A Guide for the Perplexed

Ashley Cocksworth, Durham University, UK

Luigi Gioia’s book Say it to God examining the practice of prayer was chosen as the 2018 Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent Book. In Touched

by God, Gioia moves on to explore the art of contemplation. He points out from the start that contemplation is not a more advanced way of praying but a greater awareness of the presence of God. The defining mark of this awareness is a unique kind of inner peace that coexists with doubts, thrives in the middle of struggles, is discovered even in suffering, dissolves guilt and leads to authentic self-knowledge.

"This little book on prayer is one of the very best of its kind, and all the better for its limpid prose, unpretentious learning and accessible style. It probes back to the origins of Christian prayer and its theological base, tracing how its implicitly trinitarian shape was there from the start and has always animated Christian renewal. Along the way the reader will learn afresh of some of the great theorizers of prayer in the Christian tradition; but more importantly, the call to integrate prayer, theology and compassionate practice shines out as the Leitmotif of this remarkable little Guide."

Christianity as Distinct Practices A Complicated Relationship

Jan-Olav Henriksen, MF Norwegian School of Theology, Norway Jan-Olav Henriksen reconstructs and analyses Christianity as a cluster of practices that manifests a distinct historically and contextually shaped mode of being in the world. It implies a complicated relationship between the tradition in which it originates, the community that emerges from and is constituted by that tradition, and the individuals who appropriate the tradition that these communities mediate through their practices. Henriksen argues this relationship needs to be described as primarily practices aimed at orientation and transformation, as to think of Christianity simply in terms of belief is misleading. His analysis points to how Christianity may not be very distinct from other religions with regard to the functional or pragmatic dimensions it displays.

The Bible, Centres and Margins Dialogues Between Postcolonial African and British Biblical Scholars

Edited by Johanna Stiebert, University of Leeds, UK & Musa W. Dube, University of Botswana, Botswana This volume addresses the lack of dialogue between British and African scholars, including with respect to the role of British missionaries in the introduction of the Bible and Christianity to many parts of Africa. To break this silence, Musa W. Dube and Johanna Stiebert collect expressions from both emerging and established biblical scholars in the United Kingdom and (predominantly) southern African states. Divided into three sets of papers, these contributions range from the injustices of colonialism to postcolonial critical readings of texts, suppression and appropriation.

Each section is completed with a responding essay.

The modern discipline of biblical studies developed in the context of Western Europe, concurrent with the emergence of various racial and imperial ideologies. The essays in this volume deal both with historical facets of ethnicity and race in antiquity, in particular in relation to the identities of Jews and Christians, and also with the critique of scholarly ideologies and racial assumptions which have shaped biblical studies.

Re-Reading Isaiah in the Light of the Psalms "This fascinating study focuses on the Psalms, but especially on their interrelationships with other parts of the Old Testament - with prophecy, and especially and systematically with the book of Isaiah in light of the themes it shares with the Psalms. It is an interesting, fresh, lively volume." John Goldingay, Fuller Theological Seminary, USA Joseph Blenkinsopp presents a bold intertextual reading of Isaiah and the Psalms arguing that, read together, these two biblical books can be shown to form a single religious vision that articulates the fundamentals of the faith of Israel, with its own distinctive character.

Biblical Terror

Why Law and Restoration in the Bible Depend Upon Fear

Philosophical Perspectives on Divine Essence in the Hebrew Bible

"The study is thoroughly researched in the fields of cultural theory as well as in biblical scholarship; it deserves careful reading." Journal for the Study of the Old Testament

"Gericke’s survey is masterly … [his] handling of a wide range of difficult material is to be commended, as is his integration of it in relation to a single theme." Reviews in Religion and Theology

Examines law in the Hebrew Bible from the starting point that law and restoration were not always central themes for the Bible but became so in the writing of texts, as the products of selfish desire and the wish to preserve collective identity rather than as altruistic structures based on human flourishing. Cataldo engages with Žižek, Foucault, and Deleuze and their theories of relation and difference in forming his argument.

Examines the question of what, according to the Hebrew Bible, an Elohim (God/god) was assumed to be. As a supplement to the tradition of predominantly linguistic, historical, literary, comparative, social-scientific and related approaches seeking to answer the question, Gericke offers a variety of experimental philosophical perspectives which examine how Elohim could be considered from and within the perspectives of an extremely wide range of philosophers.

Henderson shows how this assumption, introduced by Bernhard Duhm (1901) is shown to be founded on the Romantic identification of prophecy and poetry pioneered by Robert Lowth (1753). Further Henderson outlines how Duhm’s assumption allowed him to create a biography of Jeremiah that closely resembles a Romantic Bildungsroman and to bring the book into conformity with a reconstruction of Israel’s religious history rooted in Romantic historicism.

The Relationship Between the Worship of Other Gods and the Worship of Idols Within the Old Testament Thomas A. Judge, Durham University, UK This study questions why the relationship between the worship of other gods and the worship of idols within the Old Testament is difficult to define, acknowledging how various traditions have seen these two issues as synonymous and others have viewed them as separate commandments. Judge argues that there are four factors at play in this diversity. He introduces the first three through an examination of the relationship between the prohibitions listed in the biblical text, and the fourth through a study of the biblical depiction of the war against idols before and after the fall of the Northern Kingdom.

Toczyski uses his study to examine how this story has been read by various audiences across time, the different interpretive perspectives and methodologies that have been brought to the text and the influences this has had on the manner in which the story has been interpreted.

Covenant Relationships and the Editing of the Hebrew Psalter Adam D. Hensley, Australian Lutheran College, Australia

An examination of the relationship between the Davidic covenant and Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants reflected in the editorial shape and shaping of the Masoretic Psalter. Hensley proposes that the editors of the Psalter understood these covenants as a theological unity, whose common fulfilment centres on an anticipated royal successor to David. To test this hypothesis Hensley examines the Psalter’s references and allusions to covenant(s) in light of editorial evidence.

The Origin of Israelite Zion Theology

Antti Laato, Åbo Akademi University, Finland Laato seeks out the early roots of Zion theology through comparison of the Psalms with Ugaritic and other ancient Near Eastern material. In addition Laato argues that Zion theology is closely related to two specific biblical events, the architectural details of the Temple of Solomon (1 Kings 6-7) and the narrative around the Ark of the Covenant in 2 Sam 6. From this Laato builds an argument for a possible setting in Jerusalem at the time of David and Solomon for the Zion theology that emerges in the Psalms.

Reading Proverbs Intertextually Edited by Katharine J. Dell, University of Cambridge, UK & Will Kynes, Whitworth University, USA

Dell and Kynes provide the first comprehensive treatment of intertextuality in Proverbs. Topics addressed include the intertextual resonances between Proverbs, and texts across the Hebrew canon, as well as texts throughout history, from the Dead Sea Scrolls to African and Chinese proverbial literature. The contributions, though comprehensive, do not provide clear-cut answers, but rather invite further study into connections between Proverbs and external texts, highlighting ideas and issues in relation to the extra texts discussed themselves.

The Song of Songs Riddle of Riddles

Yair Zakovitch, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel In this volume Yair Zakovitch examines the presence of the Song of Songs in the Hebrew Bible, and questions how this enigmatic collection of poetic writings came to be within the Bible. Zakovitch examines the role of the Song in the Bible more broadly, and also examines what it can tell us about gender relations and attitudes to beauty, love, women and sex in ancient Israel. Zakovitch also questions whether or not the Song provides evidence of a female perspective, among the predominantly male perspectives presented in the rest of the Bible.

Wojciech Pikor, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Poland

Pikor anaylzes the land of Israel in the book of Ezekiel showing how its preoccupation with the Babylonian exile and the loss of the Promised Land that this entails is directly linked to the danger this poses to Israel’s covenant with God. Pikor examines the motif of land in its literary and historical contexts and in relation to the oracles of salvation in chapters 34—39 as well as the vision of the new Israel and the return of Yahweh’s Glory to the temple.

The Land of Israel in the Book of Ezekiel

A Volume of Studies in Honour of Bob Becking

This volume presents an important insight into the history of scholarship on the Old Testament over the last 100 years. Presented in collaboration with the Society for Old Testament Study, which celebrated its centenary in 2017, the volume examines the shifting patterns in scholarship over the last century, from the types of subject studied to the demographic make-up of the scholars working on the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible themselves.

The contributions to this volume reflect upon changing paradigms within biblical scholarship, and in how biblical scholarship is taught. Taken together, they offer a multifaceted and informative indication of how open-mindedness in one's approach can yield fascinating results across the study of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. The contributors include Hugh Williamson, Ehud Ben Zvi, Rainer Albertz, Karel von der Toorn, and Christoph Uehlinger.

Going Up and Going Down

A Key to Interpreting Jacob's Dream (Gen 28.10-22) Yitzhak (Itzik) Peleg, Beit Berl College, Israel

"Argues convincingly that Israelites and Judahites venerated a small pantheon of gods, whose functions and attributes Yahweh appropriates.

This book should prove useful especially to those looking for a relatively brief yet persuasively argued study of the development of Yahwistic monotheism." Biblical Interpretation

The story of Jacob's dream in Genesis 28.10-22 functions as a mise en abyme. Close examination reveals that focusing on the vision of Jacob's dream and understanding it as a symbolic dream facilitates a new explanation of the dream as a symbolic representation of the path taken by the Patriarchs to and from the Promised Land.

Anderson identifies five main stages on Israel’s journey towards monotheism. Rather than deciding whether Yahweh was originally a god of the Baal-type or of the El-type, Anderson focuses instead on the Omride era, the first period from which there is abundant source material, and identifies it as the first stage in the rise of monotheism.

First-Degree Incest and the Hebrew Bible

Johanna Stiebert, University of Leeds, UK

Anne-Mareike Wetter, Leiden Institute for Area Studies, the Netherlands

Sex in the Family

"Stiebert deftly succeeds in examining a difficult subject in a sensitive manner. This is a welldocumented study, full of important insights."

Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Discusses all overt and covert first-degree incest relations in the Hebrew Bible, navigating not only the incest laws of Leviticus and overt incest narratives (e.g. Lot and his daughters) but also subtler intimations of incest, such as between Adam and his (absent but arguably implied) mother. Stiebert thoroughly reviews incest studies from the early 20th century onward and explains and assesses the contribution of recent approaches from queer and post-feminist perspectives.

A Call for Inclusion

J. Kabamba Kiboko, Independent Scholar

With an eclectic approach drawing on traditional exegesis, analysis of inner-biblical allusions, comparisons of legal and linguistic data, and modern refugee research, Edward Allen Jones III argues that Ruth is best understood as a call for an inclusive attitude toward any Jew or Gentile who desired to join the Judean community in the early PostExilic period.

Using the theories of Mikhail M. Bakhtin Kiboko contends that much of the vocabulary of divination in this passage and beyond has been mistranslated in versions used in Africa and in scholarly writings.

Kiboko argues that the woman of Endor is not a witch. The woman of Endor is, rather, a diviner, much like other ancient Near Eastern and modern African diviners.

David's Capacity for Compassion

'Sit At My Right Hand'

Barbara Green, Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology, USA

Benjamin D. Giffone, LCC International University, Lithuania

A Literary-Hermeneutical Study of 1 - 2 Samuel

Barbara Green applies seven tools from contemporary literary and hermeneutical theory, to present and examine the development of David's character in the books of Samuel. Green demonstrates how the figure of David can be read as emerging from a young naive whose early successes grow into a tendency for actions of contempt, arrogance, blindness and even cruelty, particularly in matters of cult. Despite this, Green also shows that across the narrative of the books of Samuel David's character develops and he moves closer to the demeanor and actions of wise compassion, more closely aligned with God.

War in Chronicles

Temple Faithfulness and Israel's Place in the Land Troy D. Cudworth, Independent Scholar Tory D. Cudworth argues that retribution theology is maintained in the book of Chronicles primarily through the treatment of the themes of war and temple-faithfulness. He identifies a division of Israel's kings into categories: those who uphold and preserve the temple, and those who neglect it. The Chronicler illustrates how, based on their attitude to the temple, kings either prosper in the land through military victory or suffer attack. Across all of these cases, Cudworth shows how temple faithfulness always ultimately guarantees peace and security for Israel.

Divining the Woman of Endor

The Chronicler's Portrait of the Tribe of Benjamin in the Social Context of Yehud "A thorough study of Benjamin in Chronicles, and a useful overview of Benjamin elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible … A very welcome contribution..."

Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Giffone examines the differing portrayals of Benjamin in Chronicles and the Deuteronomic History, showing Benjamin's varied and sometimes difficult relation to Judah in the latter in contrast with the Chronicler's smoother portrayal. Giffone sees in this evidence that the Judah-Benjamin relationship reflects the socio-political situation of late Persian Yehud, and from this draws conclusions about the purpose and composition of Chronicles.

Chronicles and the Politics of Davidic Restoration A Quiet Revolution

David Janzen, Durham University, UK David Janzen argues that the Book of Chronicles is a document with a political message as well as a theological one and moreover, that the book’s politics explain its theology. Janzen sees the author of Chronicles as having been part of a 4th century B.C.E. group within the post-exilic Judean community that hoped to see the Davidides restored to power, and he or she composed this work to promote a restoration of this house to the position of a client monarchy within the Persian Empire.

Utopia in Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah

Contributors to this volume consider whether there are proto-utopian elements in the three books from the Hebrew Bible. The essays evaluate the potential, and pitfalls, of reading Biblical books as (proto)-utopian. Topics include how utopia construct intricate counter-realities, and how to tell whether a proposal diagnosed as 'utopian' from a modern point of view is meant to motivate its audience to political action. Case studies which read aspects of Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah as potential utopian traits include the restoration project of Ezra-Nehemiah and the rejection of foreign wives, and consideration of King Solomon as a utopian fantasy-king.

In this volume, Landy's colleagues and students engage with such texts, issues, and themes using a variety of hermeneutical strategies.

Howard, Jr. in The Structure of Psalms 93-100 as well as recent insights from the fields of poetics and text-linguistics in order to establish a linguistically based foundation for reading the Psalter as a unified text.

Wisdom Intoned

A Reappraisal of the Genre 'Wisdom Psalms' Simon Chi-Chung Cheung, China Graduate School of Theology, Hong Kong It has been hard to categorise and identify the ‘Wisdom psalms’ within the Psalter. Cheung reexamines the issues at stake in identifying this group of psalms in order to better describe the configuration of this psalmic genre. With the aid of the concepts of ‘family resemblance’ and ‘prototypes’, Cheung proposes to define ‘wisdom psalms’ as a psalm family which is characterised by a wisdom-oriented constellation of its generic features. Three such features are identified and put to test in an extensive study of seven psalms (37, 49, 73, 128, 32, 39, and 19).

The Influence of Post-Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic on the Translator of Septuagint Isaiah Seulgi L. Byun, Oak Hill College, London, UK

"An important resource for those interested in the language and literature of the Hebrew Bible and the Septuagint ... Students and scholars interested in the LXX ... will not be disappointed with Seulgi Byun's work. His research has advanced the field and deepened our understanding of LXX Isaiah. It raises new questions and encourages further research into the complex linguistic world of the LXX."

Edited by Tommy Wasserman, School of Theology, Sweden, Greger Andersson, Örebro University, Sweden & David Willgren, Lund University, Sweden Highlights Isaiah's process of composition and ongoing reinterpretation over time. The book is divided into two sections: the first part examines certain motifs woven through Isaiah, along with their origins. The second part of the book focuses on the history of reception, such as Paul's use of the book of Isaiah, and how Isaiah is used (and perhaps misused) in the growing churches of contemporary Africa. With a range of international specialists, including Hugh Williamson, Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer, and Knut Holter, this is an excellent resource for scholars seeking to understand Isaiah in greater depth.

Scriptural Traces Violence, Otherness and Identity in Isaiah 63:1-6

The Trampling One Coming from Edom Dominic S. Irudayaraj, Pontifical Biblical Institute, Italy "I highly recommend Irudayaraj’s book… It has something to say about the religious and racial conflicts that have happened and are still happening near and far... a wakeup call for all of us to acknowledge such danger lurking in us." Asian American Theological Forum

Series Editors: Andrew Mein, University of Cambridge, UK & Claudia V. Camp, Texas Christian University, USA & Matthew A. Collins, University of Chester, UK Offers a forum for the critical examination of all aspects of the reception, influence, and impact of the Bible from the ancient world to the present day: its transmission and reception in later cultural and religious contexts, its appropriation and impact as Jewish and Christian scripture, and the influence and transformation of biblical texts and traditions in politics, law, literature and the arts.

A reading of Isaiah 63:1-6 which shows how the image of the blood-spattered 'Treader' (v.3 &6) and the animosity towards Edom (cf v.1) function as a cipher for the prophetic revival of the Yehud community’s theological and social identities.

Daniel Evokes Isaiah

Allusive Characterization of Foreign Rule in the Hebrew-Aramaic Book of Daniel G. Brooke Lester, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, USA "Lester’s work represents a welcome contribution both to scholarship on Daniel and to the study of the reception of scriptural texts in the Second Temple period…those who are interested in the book of Daniel, the reception of Isaiah, or inner-biblical allusion will find this book to be a valuable work." Catholic Biblical Quarterly Lester argues that the book of Daniel contains a complex but poetically unified narrative which can be identified through the allusion to Isaiah throughout, in particular Isaiah’s depiction of Assyria.

Zechariah’s Vision Report and Its Earliest Interpreters

A Redaction-Critical Study of Zechariah 1-8 Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer, University of Aberdeen, UK

Social and Cultural Perspectives

This volume challenges the perception that the Bible is a static book with a fixed place in the world. Nowhere is this clearer than in Ireland, with its rich and complex religious, cultural, and social history. These chapters examine these issues, highlighting the varied ways in which the Bible has impacted Irish life and society, as well as the ways in which the cultural specificity of Ireland has impacted the use and development of the Bible both in Ireland and further afield.

The Politics of the Revised Version

Alan Cadwallader, Charles Sturt University, Australia Uses private correspondence and notebooks from members of the revision team to examine the politics behind the revision of the Authorised Version of the Bible (1870 - 1881). Cadwallader exposes relations between an imperial, sovereign nation and the position of an Established Church; the aspirations and authenticity of denominations within a nation; the competitive tensions of national and international prestige and responsibility; and the ultimate control exercised by publishing houses that fundamentally flawed the process of revision and the public acceptance of the final product.

Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer builds on the work done in her previous book Zechariah and His Visions (T&T Clark, 2014), to demonstrate that the visionary material in Zechariah forms the primary textual layer. The oracular texts constitute chronologically later interpretations. Zechariah and/or later authors/editors sought guidance in the earlier vision accounts, and the oracular material reflects these endeavours. Tiemeyer’s investigation is guided by the question: what is the latter material doing with the former? Is it enforcing, contradicting, or adding to it?

Classifying the Aramaic Texts from Qumran

A Statistical Analysis of Linguistic Features John Starr, University of Edinburgh, UK Here, for the first time, John Starr applies sophisticated statistical analyses to newly available electronic versions of the Qumran Aramaic scrolls. In so doing, Starr presents a potential new classification that comprises six different text types which bear distinctive textual features, allowing a more refined method of dating the classification and mapping its origins. Starr's re-visited classification presents fresh insights into the Aramaic texts at Qumran, with important implications for our understanding of the many strands that made up Judaism in the period leading to the writing of the New Testament.

Edited by Lester L. Grabbe, University of Hull, UK, Gabriele Boccaccini, University of Michigan, USA & Jason M.

What is the nature of apocalyptic at this time? Did the Maccabees themselves have an apocalyptic worldview? Who of the various groups held such a view? What are the characteristics of the apocalypses and related literature in this period? Did the apocalyptic worldview itself give rise to historical events or at least influence them?

The Hasmoneans and Their Neighbors

New Historical Reconstructions from the Dead Sea Scrolls and Classical Sources Kenneth Atkinson, University of Northern Iowa, USA By bringing together evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls and classical sources, Atkinson offers a new reconstruction of the period from the 2nd to the 1st centuries BCE, when the Hasmonean family changed the fates of the Roman Republic and the religion of Judaism, and created the foundation for the development of the nascent Christian faith. Atkinson shows the significance of Jewish sectarianism and messianism in the Hasmonean state, as well as the necessity of investigating not only Roman but also Ptolemaic and Seleucid sources in order to understand the Hasmoneans.

The Resurrection of Jesus in the Gospel of Peter A Tradition-Historical Study of the Akhmîm Gospel Fragment

Jeremiah J. Johnston, Houston Baptist University, USA All four canonical gospels identify the resurrection of Jesus, yet none detail the exact moment of its happening. The absence of this narrative detail was hotly contested in the 2nd century, when critics derided a resurrection account without credible witnesses.

Thus, the discovery of the Akhmîm fragment at the end of the 19th century, which purports to provide exactly that detail, is a huge and surprisingly under-utilised addition to Biblical scholarship of the Apocryphal gospels. Johnston examines the impact of this discovery, and argues for the dating of the fragment to the 2nd century AD.

Divided into three parts, Vanden Eykel addresses specific episodes in the life of the Virgin, that present a uniform picture of how the reader's discernment of intertexts can generate new layers of meaning, and how these layers may reveal new aspects of the author's meaning.

"But Their Faces Were All Looking Up" and Reader in the Protevangelium of James

The Body of Jesus in the Book of John

An examination of the biblical data relevant to the atonement, which charts its way through the various theories of atonement that have been advanced through time. Smith studies and synthesizes the biblical material and concludes that it supports both the penalsubstitutionary version of the satisfaction theory and the Christus Victor theory of the atonement, each of which should be viewed as two parts of a more inclusive theory of atonement present in the New Testament.

The idea of writing plays a central role in John. Apart from the many references to scriptural texts, John also emphasizes the role of writing in the inscription on the cross. And then, in the last two chapters of the Gospel, the text points to itself as the place of revelation, as well as to its author. Petterson shows how John produces itself as the vehicle of Jesus’ revelation in place of a body. This takes place through its use of writing, its characteristic use of verbs and syntax, and its mode of revelation.

H. Daniel Zacharias, Acadia Divinity College, Canada

Tribals, Empire and God

A Tribal Reading of the Birth of Jesus in Matthew's Gospel Zhodi Angami, Eastern Theological College, India

H. Daniel Zacharias presents a literary-critical analysis of the Gospel of Matthew and its interaction with Davidic tradition and use of Davidic typology.

Zacharias shows how the use of Davidic material presents to the reader a scripturally-grounded redefinition of what it means for Jesus to be the Son of David: not as a violent militant leader, as was expected, but as a physical descendant of David, a healing shepherd, and a humble king.

This book is the first comprehensive work that offers a description of tribal biblical interpretation and shows its application by making a lucid reading of Matthew’s infancy narrative from a tribal reader’s perspective. Using reader-response criticism as his primary method, Zhodi Angami brings his tribal context of North East India into conversation with Matthew’s account of the birth of Jesus.

Luke-Acts

Jesus as Mirrored in John

Edited by James P. Grimshaw, Carroll University, USA

James H. Charlesworth, Princeton Theological Seminary, USA

Texts@Contexts

This Texts@Contexts volume on Luke-Acts is organized around four themes. The first examines interpretations of Jesus, looking at his childhood, contemporary context, and his teaching – including whether Jesus’ sympathetic response to disease and pain might be used to advocate euthanasia. The second examines social categories: gender, race, and class, including a political and racialized reading of the history of diasporic Black America as a model for reading Acts as a diasporic history. The third examines issues of empire and resistance.

The final part looks at society and spirituality, with a focus on modern contemporary contexts.

Disorderly Women and the Order of God

An Australian Feminist Reading of the Gospel of Mark Michele A. Connolly, Catholic Institute of Sydney, Australia Connolly examines how Mark portrays Jesus bringing the order of the Reign of God. Connolly sees this as a markedly male project against which 11 female characters are portrayed as disorderly distractions who are managed by being marginalised, silenced and denigrated. This contradicts Jesus’ message of mutual service and non-domination. In his death under apocalyptic power, Jesus is depicted as isolated, silenced and denigrated. Connolly argues that this subtly associates femaleness with chaos, failure and disgrace and that such sexism must be exposed and rejected.

Matthew’s Presentation of the Son of David

The Genius in the New Testament

James H. Charlesworth here presents an extended engagement with the gospel of John. Charlesworth's work is divided into four parts. First he examines the origins, evolution and setting of the gospel.

Second he looks at the figure of Jesus and historical concerns. Third he examines the gospel alongside other contemporaneous literature (notably the Dead Sea Scrolls). Finally, he looks at John's specific language and symbolism and considers such questions as whether or not it is possible to suggest that Jesus married Mary Magdalane.

Archetypes and the Fourth Gospel

Literature and Theology in Conversation Brian Larsen, Simpson University, USA Explores the interaction of literature and theology by means of archetypal criticism with reference to characters in the Gospel of John. Specifically, Northrop Frye’s system of archetypal literary criticism is employed, which consists of four meta-archetypes (mythoi): romance, tragedy, irony and satire, and comedy. These archetypes offer a compelling summary of literature and form the essential governing framework and means of exchange between literature and theology.

Romans: Three Exegetical Interpretations and the History of Reception Volume 1: Romans 1:1-32

Daniel Patte, Vanderbilt University, USA "The magisterial work of an excellent biblical scholar." Kathy Ehrensperger, University of Potsdam, Germany Daniel Patte here presents the systematic application of his threefold interpretation of the letter to the Romans. The first part of the approach reads the letter for its theological argument, the second as a call to mission and the third reads it as a work of apocalyptic writing. In this first of a projected three-volume work Patte outlines the development of this approach. He then outlines how it may be applied, before then presenting his three parallel readings of the first chapter of Romans.

Marlene Crüsemann, Independent Scholar Translated by Linda Maloney, St. John's University, USA

Marlene Crüsemann examines the Thessalonian letters in the context of Jewish-Christian social history. Crüsemann shows how 2 Thessalonians revokes the far-reaching social separation from Judaism, which characterizes 1 Thessalonians, and thus aims socio-historically for a solidarity with the entire Jewish people. Thus, Crüsemann argues, the discussion about a "divergence of the ways of Christians and Jews" in early Christian times needs to be realigned.

Bible and Bedlam

Madness, Sanism, and New Testament Interpretation Louise J. Lawrence, University of Exeter, UK This volume probes and critically questions first, the social exclusion of those characters who are labeled as ‘disordered’ or ‘mad’ in biblical texts and second, provocatively unveils the widespread ideological ‘gate keeping’ and ‘protection’ from such labels in both history and scholarship of celebrated figures including Jesus, Paul, John the Evangelist and John the Seer. Voices (both ancient and contemporary) of those who are frequently labelled autistic, psychotic or mad are among those evocatively juxtaposed here with New Testament characters, authors and texts.

The Pseudepigraphal Letters to the Thessalonians

Theodicy and the Cross of Christ A New Testament Inquiry

Tom Holmén, Åbo Akademi University, Finland Holmén's focus in this monograph on the death of Jesus as a source of New Testament theodicy reveals a two-fold reasoning: the continued relevance of the theme, and the lack of thorough and sustained investigations into it. With its special role within the New Testament canon and within the New Testament perspectives to suffering in particular, and its significance in the modern discussion of theodicy, the crucifixion forms a fascinating starting point for understanding New Testament approaches to suffering.

Illiterate Apostles

Callie Callon, Toronto School of Theology, Canada

Allen R. Hilton, Wayzata Community Church, Minnesota, USA

Physiognomy as a Strategy of Persuasion in Early Christian Discourse

Uneducated Early Christians and the Literates Who Loved Them

Investigates how early Christian authors utilized physiognomic thought as rhetorical strategy, showing how this encompassed denigrating theological opponents and forging group boundaries, selfrepresentation to demonstrate the moral superiority, and the cultivation of collective self-identity (particularly in martyrologies).

Callon also addresses the tension between the importance of "looking the part" for a figure thought to be divine or divinely favoured (who were typically thought to be beautiful or handsome), and the conception of Jesus himself as physically unattractive.

Allen R. Hilton examines how pagan critics ridiculed the early Christians for being uneducated and how a few literate Christians took up pen to defend the uneducated members of their churches. Hilton sheds light on the peculiarity of this “defense”, which openly admits that the critics have the facts on their side (Acts even calls Peter and John illiterates). Why did these authors volunteer such a negative detail?

The answer to this question reveals a fascinating social exchange that surrounded education levels in antiquity and made its way into the New Testament.

“The Time Is Fulfilled”

Jesus’s Apocalypticism in the Context of Continental Philosophy Lynne Moss Bahr, Fordham University, USA

Jesus, the Gospels, and the Galilean Crisis

Tucker S. Ferda, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, USA

Lynne Moss Bahr explores the concept of temporality as central to Jesus’s proclamation of the Kingdom of God. Bahr uses insights from continental philosophy on the messianic, which expose the false claim that time progresses in a linear continuum, and presents these in critical dialogue with the sayings of Jesus regarding time and time’s fulfillment. Bahr shows how the Kingdom is something which brings a disruption in time, one that reveals the intrinsic relation between God and humanity.

Examines the notion that the historical Jesus himself had grappled with the failure of his mission to Israel.

This theory, known as the Galilean crisis achieved traction in the 19th century but is now largely viewed as outdated. While acknowledging the decline of the hypothesis, Ferda shows how its logic is still present in scholarship and argues that its suggestions about early success and growing opposition in the ministry, as well as its claim that Jesus met and responded to cases of rejection should be revisited.

Daniel W. McManigal, Hope Presbyterian Church, USA A fresh analysis of the meaning of the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire and John’s baptism as a prophetic sign-act.

Expanding upon the sources, grammar and meaning of the Logion, analysing Old Testament and Second Temple texts, and discussing the prevalent theme of judgment in baptism, McManigal offers the first extended treatment of the baptism in the Holy Spirit in Matthew.

Drawing out the unique Matthean meaning of the baptism of the “coming one,” McManigal offers readers a new insight into the nature of repenting and prophetic baptism, whether through water, fire or Spirit.

An Examination of the Aims of the First Christian Historian in the Light of Ancient Politics, Ethnography, and Historiography J. Andrew Cowan, University of St. Andrews, UK In response to the increasingly popular theory that Luke capitalizes upon the supposed relationship between Jewish antiquity and the early Christian religion, this book compares the writings of Luke to the ancient historians Dionysius of Halicarnassus and T. Flavius Josephus.

Cowan argues that Luke’s aim in emphasizing the Jewish roots of the Christian movement is not to attain cultural or political capital, but rather to reassure Christians that the foundational events of the life of Jesus and the early church legitimately constitute the fulfilment of God’s salvific plan.

Old Testament Conceptual Metaphors and the Christology of Luke’s Gospel Gregory R. Lanier, Reformed Theological Seminary, USA

This volume sits at the intersection of three sub-fields of New Testament scholarship: early Christology, the use of Israel’s Scriptures in the New Testament, and contemporary metaphor theory. Lanier argues that the gospel of Luke employs certain conceptual metaphors reflected in Israel’s traditions—“horn of salvation,” “dawn from on high,” “mother bird gathering Jerusalem’s children,” and “crushing stone”— to portray the identity of Jesus as both an agent of salvation and, more provocatively, the one God of Israel.

Considering each aspect of Jesus' identity in its own right invites us to consider how the Gospel of John not only transforms but preserves early traditions about Jesus.

This examination of John's Gospel takes us more deeply into questions about the way traditions about Jesus were used in the early church and how the Fourth Gospel might contribute to our understanding of that dynamic process.

The Writings of Luke and the Jewish Roots of the Christian Way

Becoming John

The Making of a Passion Gospel Kari Syreeni, Åbo Akademi University, Finland Syreeni argues that the gospel of John is a heavily reworked edition of a gospel that originally ended at chapter 12, with the passion narrative being added by a later redactor. Syreeni bolsters his case by suggesting that the community schism reflected in the letters of John was about this very issue: some accepted Jesus’ corporeal death and resurrection. Others saw baptism as the decisive salvific act. The creation of the Beloved Disciple motif, and ‘doubting Thomas’, are thus seen by Syreeni as appeals to accept the notion of Christ as crucified and resurrected.

Configuring Nicodemus

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Complex Characterization Michael R. Whitenton, Baylor University, USA Michael R. Whitenton offers a fresh perspective on the character of Nicodemus. Whitenton focuses on the benefit of Hellenistic rhetoric and cognitive science for understanding how ancient audiences may have construed this interesting, if somewhat confusing, character.

Whitenton offers an interdisciplinary approach to characterization, drawing on cognitive science, Greek stock characters, ancient rhetoric, and modern literary theory. He then turns his attention to the characterization of Nicodemus, where he argues that Nicodemus would likely be understood initially as a dissembler, only to break that mold later in the narrative, suggesting a journey toward Johannine faith.

Like the identity “Christian,” the New Negro emerged in a context marked by instability, creativity, and the need for a sense of permanence in a hostile political environment.

Christ, Creation and the Cosmic Goal of Redemption A Study of Pauline Creation Theology as Read by Irenaeus and Applied to Ecotheology

J.J. Johnson Leese, Seattle Pacific University, USA J.J. Johnson Leese shows that the apostle Paul’s writing about Christ’s relationship to creation read alongside the astute interpretation of these texts by Irenaeus of Lyon can provide a meaningful contribution to the contemporary ecotheological conversation. Leese shows how Irenaeus’ creation theology was constructed through connecting and organizing biblical creation texts into a Christological framework.

Irenaeus’ approach provides possibilities for Paul to contribute to ecotheology, not as a set of unconnected proof texts, but by way of a theological vision where the whole of reality in relationship to Christ and creation are central components of Paul’s theology.

The Fear of God in 2 Corinthians 7:1 Its Salvation - Historical, Literary, and Eschatological Contexts

Euichang Kim, Torch Trinity Graduate University, Korea Euichang Kim focuses upon the phrase "the fear of God" in 2 Corinthians, pointing to the wider contexts these words have in Old Testament passages quoted by Paul, and in writings of the Second Temple period. Kim demonstrates that God’s eschatological promises – in particular his coming judgment, his promise to redeem his people, and his promise of a new covenant – are intertwined with this motif of "fear" and shows how Paul intends for this to motivate righteous behavior.

The Violence of the Lamb

Martyrs as Agents of Divine Judgement in the Book of Revelation Paul Middleton, University of Chester, UK Martyrdom, in the worldview of the Apocalypse, was an exemplification of non-violent resistance.

Essays in Honour of John Muddiman Edited by John Barton, University of Oxford, UK & Peter Groves, University of Oxford, UK John Barton and Peter Groves present a range of chapters by leading scholarly voices from the worlds of biblical studies and the Church, looking at the study of the New Testament within and around the Church and the impact it has had and can have on Christian theology. The essays in the volume adopt a style of critical engagement with biblical texts, through the prism of a modern and living Church. The focus of the volume is thus not only upon the New Testament itself, but also upon how reading the New Testament is important for dialogue within the Church.

The Quest for the Historical Jesus after the Demise of Authenticity

Toward a Critical Realist Philosophy of History in Jesus Studies Jonathan Bernier, St Francis Xavier University, Canada Presently Jesus scholarship is dominated not by the question 'Who was Jesus?' but rather 'How do we even go about answering the question, "Who was Jesus?"?' With this current situation in mind, Jonathan Bernier undertakes a two-fold task: one, to engage on the level of the philosophy of history with existing approaches to the study of the historical Jesus, most notably the criteria approach and the social memory approach; two, to work with the critical realism developed by Bernard Lonergan in order to develop a philosophy of history that can elucidate current debates within historical Jesus studies.

In this book, eleven expert researchers from four different continents tackle the question anew.

Matthew and Mark Across Perspectives

Kristian A. Bendoraitis, Spring Arbor University, USA

Edited by Kristian A. Bendoraitis, Spring Arbor University, USA & Nijay K. Gupta, George Fox Evangelical Seminary, USA

A Compositional Analysis of Angels in Matthew

Utilizing the Old Testament and Second Temple sources Kristian Bendoraitis identifies how angel traditions are reflected in Matthew’s Gospel, resulting in a detailed exegesis of those passages which specifically mention angels. Bendoraitis analyses each passage in view of its role in the Gospel’s narrative and in light of Matthew’s redactional hand. In addition, each chapter is accompanied by a discussion of relevant traditions of angels in order to illustrate how Matthew’s use of angels has facilitated his Gospel’s message.

Representations of the Afterlife in Luke-Acts Alexey Somov, St Philaret Orthodox Christian Institute, Russia

Why does Luke speak about several different forms of the afterlife? Why is resurrection described as a person's transformation into an angelic being?

How many abodes are appointed for the righteous and the wicked after death? Alexey Somov addresses these queries in relation to the apparent confusion and variety found in the text, in respect of the interrelatedness of these issues, and their connection with other eschatological issues in Luke-Acts, and in relation to the wider cultural context of the Mediterranean world to which Luke belonged.

The Davidic Shepherd King in the Lukan Narrative

Sarah Harris, Carey Baptist College, New Zealand Beginning with the infancy narrative, Sarah Harris moves to later events portrayed in Jesus' ministry in which he is seen to enact his message as God's faithful Davidic shepherd, in particular, the parable of the Lost Sheep and the Zaccheus pericope (19:1-10).

Harris uses this latter encounter to underline her thesis that Jesus may be hailed as a King by the crowds as he enters Jerusalem, but he is not simply a king. He is God's Davidic Shepherd King, as prophesied in Ezekiel 34, who brings the gospel of peace and salvation to the earth.

Suffering in Ancient Worldview Luke, Seneca and 4 Maccabees in Dialogue

Brian J. Tabb, Bethlehem College and Seminary, USA Seneca, 4 Maccabees and Luke-Acts are united in this treatment of the theme and theology of Christian, Roman and Jewish views on suffering.

Tabb presents a close reading of representative texts from Seneca's essays and letters, Acts, and 4 Maccabees in order to highlight the respective authors' understanding of suffering, working through their perspectives on God, humanity, the world's problem and its solution, and the future. All three authors are shown to both expect and accept suffering as a present reality governed by God's sovereign purposes, however defined.

Luke’s Christology of Divine Identity

Nina Henrichs-Tarasenkova, University of Portland, USA

Uses the work of Richard Bauckham, a close reading of texts and a detailed study of the construction of personal identity in the GrecoRoman world to show how Luke binds Jesus’ identity to the divine identity of YHWH and thus demonstrate that the Lukan narrative portrays Jesus as God when it shows that Jesus shares YHWH’s divine identity.

The Pericope of the Adulteress in Contemporary Research

Edited by David Alan Black, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, USA & Jacob N. Cerone, Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich, Germany

Steve Smith examines the key texts which concern the destruction of the Jerusalem temple in Luke-Acts. He makes a thorough review of Luke’s use of the Old Testament, and proposes that relevance theory is a capable hermeneutic tool to reconstruct how Luke’s readers would have understood references to the Old Testament. Using this approach, the key texts from Luke-Acts are examined sequentially, and Luke’s apparent criticism of the temple is examined in a new light.

Creation Imagery in the Gospel of John Carlos Raul Sosa Siliezar, Central American Theological Seminary, Guatemala

Sosa Siliezar investigates the presence and significance of creation imagery in the Gospel of John. He argues that John has intentionally included only a limited (albeit significant) number of instances of creation imagery and that he has positioned them carefully to highlight their significance. Sosa Siliezar contends that the instances of creation imagery function collectively in a threefold way. First, John uses them to portray Jesus in close relationship with his Father.

Second, they assert the primal and universal significance of Jesus.

Third, they link past reality with present and future reality, portraying Jesus as the agent of creation.

An Intertextual Approach to Jesus' Laments Over Jerusalem and Stephen's Speech

Written To Serve

The Use of Scripture in 1 Peter Benjamin Sargent, Wycliffe Hall, Oxford In Written to Serve Benjamin Sargent offers an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of how 1 Pet 1.10-12 offers a ‘hermeneutic,’ providing an insight into how Scripture is interpreted in the letter.

Rather than offering a Christological hermeneutic with a focus on the suffering and glories of Christ, Sargent asserts that the primary importance of 1.10-12 is its orientation of the prophetic witness towards the eschatological community as an act of service.

Similarly Sargent suggests that 1.10-12 may be seen as a narrative of profound discontinuity in which the present community is elevated above God’s people of the past.

Paul's Letters and the Construction of the European Self Fatima Tofighi, University of Religions, Iran

Even when he was a prototype of European identity, Paul transgressed the limits of Europe. It is not clear whether he was conformist or rebellious, orthodox or liberal, sexist, or egalitarian. Instead of pushing Paul into the arbitrary categories of modern European identity, Fatima Tofighi takes into account the challenge that Paul brings to normative conceptions of political theology (Rom 13), 'religion' (Gal 2.12-14), and women's veiling (1 Cor 11. 5-16). Alternative interpretations of these passages, with the help of postmodern theory, both solve the major problems of biblical exegesis and offer a critique of the allegedly welldefined European categories.

Washings and Meals in Galatians and 1 Corinthians

The focus of this work is the two rituals that identified the Pauline communities: ritual washings and ritual meals. By exploring Paul’s references in Galatians and 1 Corinthians to ritual washings and meals with a heuristic use of ritual theory, Turley concludes that rituals in early Christianity were inherently revelatory, in that they revealed the dawning of the messianic age through the bodies of the ritual participants. This bodily revelation established both a distinctly Christian ethic and a distinctly Christian social space by which such an ethical identity might be identified and sustained.

This serves as a backdrop to his examination of the situation in the Christian community, wherein some members preferred Apollos to Paul as his teaching more closely resembled other teachers of higher studies.

Catholic Biblical Quarterly A neglected area of study of the letter to the Hebrews is the function of the Old Testament in the letter’s logic. Compton addresses this neglect by looking at the unique and fundamental semantic contribution of Hebrews’ exposition and the prominence of Ps 110 in that exposition.

The Testimony of the Exalted Jesus

The 'Testimony of Jesus' in the Book of Revelation Sarah Underwood Dixon, University of Cambridge, UK One of the most important, but often neglected, issues in the interpretation of the phrase 'the testimony of Jesus' in the Book of Revelation has been whether the phrase can be read consistently across each instance of its occurrence. Dixon explores the use of this phrase and shows that 'the testimony of Jesus' is not just another title for John's writing, but is something that is given to and even characterizes those who hear the message of the Apocalypse.

A Global History of Thought and Practice Peter Heehs, Idependent Scholar, India This book reminds us that the West does not hold patents on agnosticism or atheism and is the first survey of godless spirituality, beginning in ancient India, China and Greece. Heehs explores systems of religion or philosophy that rejected the idea of a creative God, including Jainism and Buddhism, Confucianism and Daoism, and Epicureanism and Scepticism. It is an accessible counterbalance to theistic narratives that have dominated the field, as well as an introduction to modes of spiritual thought and practice that may appeal to people who have no interest in God.

An Unnatural History of Religions

Academia, Post-truth and the Quest for Scientific Knowledge Leonardo Ambasciano, Masaryk University, Czech Republic

Language, Cognition, and Biblical Exegesis Interpreting Minds

Edited by Ronit Nikolsky, University of Groningen, the Netherlands, István Czachesz, University of Tromsø, Norway, Tamás Biró, ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary & Frederick S. Tappenden, Concordia University of Edmonton, Canada

An Unnatural History of Religions provides an overview of the origins, development, and critical issues concerning the history of religion and its relationship with science. The book explores the ideological biases, logical fallacies, and unwarranted beliefs that surround the scientific foundations in the history of religion, situating it amongst today's 'post truth' culture. The most important topics and paradigm shifts in the field, such as theology, poststructuralism and cognitive science, are taken into consideration chronologically, each time with case studies, including shamanism, gender biases, ethnocentrism and biological evolution.

This book fills the gap in research on religious texts and narratives in the cognitive science of religion. It presents a systematic attempt to redefine the interpretation of religious texts in a cognitive framework, providing concrete textual analysis on a broad selection of biblical passages. The editors explore the ways that cognitive approaches to language and textual interpretation expand the disciplines of the cognitive science of religion and biblical studies.

Interreligious Comparisons in Religious Studies and Theology Comparison Revisited

Edited by Perry Schmidt-Leukel, University of Muenster, Germany & Andreas Nehring, University of Erlangen, Germany "Truly refreshing … represents a very important and much needed contribution to methodological questions in the study of religions, and I will be certain to use it in my graduate course on history and method in comparative religion."

Critiquing Religion: Discourse, Culture, Power Series Editor: Craig Martin Critiquing Religion: Discourse, Culture, Power publishes works that historicize both religions and modern discourses on 'religion' that treat it as a unique object of study. Using diverse methodologies and social theories, volumes in this series view religions and discourses on religion as commonplace rhetorics, authenticity narratives, or legitimating myths which function in the creation, maintenance, and contestation of social formations. Critiquing Religion: Discourse, Culture, Power provides a unique home for reflexive, critical work in the field of religious studies.

French Populism and Discourses on Secularism Per-Erik Nilsson, Uppsala University, Sweden

Takes a religious studies approach to French contemporary populism, and uses the discourse on secularism as a lens to do so. This book provides insight into the French and European far-right and radical-nationalist ideology and activism, and contributes to our understanding of the complex relationship between religion and the state in contemporary Europe and beyond.

The author draws on the web-based journal Riposte Laïque, a central actor in French radical-nationalist and anti-Islamic web and street based activism, to show the French far-right’s recent appropriation of secularism, as well as debates on secularism, national identity and Islam in France more broadly.

Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud

Andrew Dole, Amherst College, USA This book revisits Paul Ricoeur’s well-known classification of Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Sigmund Freud as the “masters of suspicion.” In doing so, Andrew Dole provides a thought-provoking critique for critical religious studies scholars who draw on their work, as well as for anyone working in critical theory more broadly.

Dole provides an alternative account of the method common to Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud. Whereas Ricoeur saw suspicion as a mode of interpretation, this book argues that suspicion is better understood as a mode of explanation.

Kabbalah: Secrecy, Scandal and the Soul Harry Freedman

This book relates the history of Kabbalah, from its earliest origins until the present day. We trace Kabbalah’s development, from the 2nd century visionaries who visited the divine realms and brought back tales of their glories and splendours, through the unexpected arrival of a book in Spain that appeared to have lain unconcealed for over a thousand years, and on to the mystical city of Safed where souls could be read and the history of heaven was an open book.

This concise, readable and thoughtful history of Kabbalah tells its story as it has never been told before.

Gods and Rollercoasters

Religion in Theme Parks Worldwide Crispin Paine, UCL, UK This worldwide study examines how religion gets into theme-parks – as mission, as an aspect of culture, as fable, and by chance. The author analyses religion in theme parks throughout the world, and looks how it relates to modernism, popular culture, right-wing politics, nationalism, and the rise of the global middle class.

Drawing on examples from around the world including the USA, India, China, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Germany, South America, Russia and Australia and exploring religious traditions including Christianity, Daoism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam, this an innovative addition to the study of religion, sociology, anthropology and popular culture.

Spirituality, Corporate Culture, and American Business The Neoliberal Ethic and the Spirit of Global Capital

James Dennis LoRusso, Princeton University, USA While many voices celebrate efforts to introduce “spirituality in the workplace” as a recent positive innovation, LoRusso argues that workplace spirituality is in fact more closely aligned with neoliberal ideologies that serve the interests of private wealth and undermine the power of working people. LoRusso traces how this new moral language of business emerged as part of the larger shift away from the post-New Deal welfare state towards today’s global market-oriented social order. Drawing on cultural history as well as case studies from New York City and San Francisco, this book argues that religion reveals much about work, corporate culture, and business in contemporary America.

Religious Pluralism and the City Inquiries into Postsecular Urbanism

Edited by Helmuth Berking, TU Darmstadt, Germany, Silke Steets, Independent Researcher & Jochen Schwenk, TU Darmstadt, Germany "Anyone interested in a multitude of pressing contemporary sociological and political issues will find this book both intriguing and of great value."

Mitchell Cohen, City University of New York, USA The book argues that we are seeing the pluralization of religion, the co-existence of different religious worldviews, and the simultaneity of secular and religious institutions that shape everyday life. These particular constellations of "religious pluralism" are, above all, played out in cities.

Peter L. Berger and the Sociology of Religion

50 Years after The Sacred Canopy Edited by Titus Hjelm, University College London, UK How and why did The Sacred Canopy by Peter L. Berger (1929–2017) become a classic? How have scholars used Berger’s ideas over the past 50 years since its publication? How are these ideas relevant to the future of the sociology of religion? This book explores these questions by providing a broad overview as well as more focused studies of Berger’s work.

The chapters discuss both aspects of Berger’s classic text: the ‘systematic’ sociological theorizing on religion, and the ‘historical’ theorizing on secularization. The articles also critically examine Berger’s about-face regarding secularization and the suggested ‘secularization’ of the world.

Edited by Juan M. Floyd-Thomas, Vanderbilt Divinity School, USA & Anthony B. Pinn, Rice University, USA Shows that the years of the Obama presidency served as a watershed moment of significant reorganization of the role of religion in national public life. This is a timely contribution to debates on religion, race and public life in the United States.

Topics include how Obama has employed religious rhetoric in response to both international and domestic events, his attempt to inhabit a kind of Blackness that comforts and reassures rather than challenges White America, the limits of Christian hospitality within U.S. immigration policy and the racialization of Islam in the U.S. national imagination.

Intolerant Religion in a TolerantLiberal Democracy Yossi Nehushtan, Keele University, UK

This book aims to examine and critically analyse the role that religion has and should have in the public and legal sphere. The main purpose of the book is to explain why religion, on the whole, should not be tolerated in a tolerant-liberal democracy and to describe exactly how it should not be tolerated – mainly by addressing legal issues.

Bloomsbury Studies in Material Religion Series Editors: Amy Whitehead, Birgit Meyer, Crispin Paine, David Morgan, & S. Brent Plate Bloomsbury Studies in Material Religion is the first book series dedicated exclusively to studies in material religion. Within the field of lived religion, the series is concerned with the material things with which people do religion, and how these things – objects, buildings, landscapes – relate to people, their bodies, clothes, food, actions, thoughts and emotions. The series engages and advances theories in 'sensuous' and 'experiential' religion, as well as informing museum practices and influencing wider cultural understandings with relation to religious objects and performances.

ANTHROPOLOGY OF RELIGION / ASIAN RELIGIONS

Food, Festival and Religion Materiality and Place in Italy

Francesca Ciancimino Howell, Naropa University, USA Food, Festival and Religion explores how communities in northern Italy find a restorative sense of place through foodways, costuming, and other forms of materiality. Festivals explored by the author vary geographically from the northern rural corners of Italy to the fashionable heart of urban Milan. The origins of these lived religious events range from Christian to vernacular Italian witchcraft and contemporary Paganism, which is rapidly growing in Italy.

Through extensive ethnographic research and fieldwork data, this book demonstrates that popular Italian festivals are ritualized, liminal spaces, and contributes greatly to the fields of religious, performance and ritual studies UK August 2018 • US August 2018 • 224 pages • 10 bw illus HB 9781350020863 • £85.00 / $114.00 Individual eBook 9781350020870 Library eBook 9781350020887 Series: Bloomsbury Studies in Material Religion • Bloomsbury Academic

Dynamism and the Ageing of a Japanese 'New' Religion Transformations and the Founder

Erica Baffelli, The University of Manchester, UK & Ian Reader, The University of Manchester, UK This book examines the trajectory and development of the Japanese religious movement Agonshu, commonly portrayed in Japan as a 'new religion', and its charismatic founder Kiriyama Seiyu. Based on field research spanning 30 years, it examines Agonshu from when it first captured attention in the 1980s with its spectacular rituals and use of media technologies, through a period of stagnation, until its response to the 2016 death of its founder. By examining Agonshu in the wider context, the book draws attention to the importance of understanding the trajectories of 'new' religions and how they can become ‘old’ even within their first generation.

A Critique of Western Buddhism Ruins of the Buddhist Real

Glenn Wallis, Incite Seminars in Philadelphia, USA What are we to make of Western Buddhism? Glenn Wallis argues that in aligning their tradition with the contemporary wellness industry, Western Buddhists evade the consequences of Buddhist thought. This book shows that with concepts such as vanishing, nihility, extinction, contingency, and no-self, Buddhism, like all potent systems of thought, articulates a notion of the “real.” Raw, unflinching acceptance of this real is held by Buddhism to be at the very core of human “awakening.” Yet these preeminent human truths are universally against contemporary Buddhist practice, contravening the very heart of Buddhism.

Secular Bodies, Affects and Emotions European Configurations

Edited by Monique Scheer, University of Tübingen, Germany, Nadia Fadil, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium & Birgitte Schepelern Johansen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Drawing on empirical case studies, this is the first book to ask and explore whether a secular body exists. Building on the work of Talal Asad, the book argues that the secular is not an absence of religion, but a positive entity that comes about through its co-constitutive relationship with religion. And, once we attune ourselves to recognizing its operations as grammar which structures social practice, writing an anthropology of the secular could become a new possibility.

Language in the Buddhist Tantra of Japan Indic Roots of Mantra

Richard K. Payne, Institute of Buddhist Studies at the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, USA Dismantles the preconception that Buddhism is a religion of mystical silence, arguing that language is in fact central to the Buddhist tradition. By examining the use of ‘extraordinary language’—evocations calling on the power of the Buddha—in Japanese Buddhist Tantra, Richard K. Payne shows that such language was not simply cultural baggage carried by Buddhist practitioners from South to East Asia. Rather, such language was a key element in the propagation of new forms of belief and practice. He argues that Indian and East Asian philosophies of language shed light on the use of language in meditative and ritual practices in Japan.

Raficq Abdulla, Kingston University, UK & Mohamed Keshavjee, The Institute of Ismaili Studies, UK

Diverse Spaces of Muslim Worship

Muslims from around the world together contribute to the rich diversity of ways in which their faith is practised. For many, the mosque remains the central place that sustains Muslim worship. Yet Islam has generated almost as many spaces as it has distinctive communities.

From the mosque and husayniya to the khanaqah and jamatkhana, Rizwan Mawani encounters diverse spaces of worship on his journey through the Muslim world. This illuminating survey of particular architectures and their rituals, from Senegal and China to Iran and India, reveals the significant pluralism that characterizes the living Muslim tradition today.

The Shi’i Ismaili Perspective of Ḥamīd alDīn al-Kirmānī Maria De Cillis, The Institute of Ismaili Studies, UK Ḥamīd al-Dīn al-Kirmānī (d. after 411/1020) was one of the most important theologians in the Fatimid period, who rose to prominence during the reign of the imam-caliph al-Ḥākim bi-Amr Allāh (r. 386/996–411/1021). This book provides an analysis of al-Kirmānī’s thought and sheds new light on the layers of allusion which characterise his writings. Through a translation and commentary of the eighth chapter of his Kitāb alRiyāḍ (Book of Meadows), which is devoted to the subject of divine preordination and human redemption, Maria De Cillis shows readers first-hand his theologically distinctive interpretation of qaḍāʾ and qadar (divine decree and destiny).

Western Imaginings

Namira Nahouza, Cambridge Muslim College, UK

Rohan Davis

Theology, Power and Sunni Islam

Wahhabism is often described as one of the most conservative branches of Islam and fuelling jihadist extremism. While previous scholarship has examined Wahhabism as a political phenomenon, this book turns attention to the complex religious issues that are central to its understanding.

Tracing its eighteenth-century roots to the present day, Namira Nahouza shows why the Wahhabi movement has opposed traditional Islamic scholarship. Based on extensive research into classical and contemporary Arabic religious sources, Nahouza presents the contours of Sunni theological debate and reveals how the Wahhabi movement became the predecessor to the Salafism we see today.

The Intellectual Contest to Define Wahhabism Wahhabism is often portrayed as a radical version of Islam responsible for inspiring and motivating Islamic terrorism. This book explores how Wahhabism has been understood and represented by Western intellectuals, particularly those belonging to the neo-conservative and liberal traditions. In contrast to the existing literature that treats Wahhabism as a historical phenomenon or a monolithic theological ideology, Davis shows how and why Western intellectuals have chosen to represent Wahhabism in specific ways, ranging from an analysis of the particular rhetorical techniques employed by these intellectuals to a consideration of the religious and political beliefs that inspire and motivate their decisions.

Sufi Shrines and the Pakistani State

War Between the Turks and the Persians

Umber Bin Ibad, Forman Christian College University, Lahore, Pakistan

Giovanni-Tommaso Minadoi

The End of Religious Pluralism

The first book to address the political history of Sufi shrines in Pakistan Sufi Shrines and the Pakistani State explores the ways in which the postcolonial state went about controlling their activities. Of key significance was the ‘West Pakistan Waqf Properties Ordinance’, a 1959 governmental decree which allowed the state to take over shrines as ‘waqf property’.

Focusing on the Punjab – famous for its large number of shrines – the book is based on extensive primary research including newspapers, archival sources and interviews. At a time when Sufi shrines are being increasingly targeted by Islamist extremists, this book sheds light on the shrines’ contentious historical relationship with the state.

Qur'anic Hermeneutics

Between Science, History, and the Bible Abdulla Galadari, Masdar Institute, United Arab Emirates This book argues for the importance of understanding the polysemous nature of the words in the Qur’an and outlines a new method of Qur’anic exegesis called intertextual polysemy. By interweaving science, history and religious studies, Abdulla Galadari introduces a linguistic approach which draws on neuropsychology.

This book features examples of intertextual polysemy within the Qur’an, as well as between the Qur’an and the Bible. It provides examples that intimately engage with Christological concepts of the Gospels, in addition to examples of allegorical interpretation through inner-Qur’anic allusions.

The Spirituality of Responsibility Fethullah Gulen and Islamic Thought

Simon Robinson, Leeds Beckett University, UK Turkish Islamic leader Fethullah Gülen offers a distinctive view of responsibility, which is explored here for the first time. Simon Robinson shows how Gülen’s writings, influenced by both orthodox Islam and the Sufi tradition, contribute a dynamic, holistic and interactive view of responsibility which locates personal identity, agency and freedom in plural relationships.

This book is an important contribution both to the theological and philosophical debate about responsibility but also to the practice of responsibility focused in creative action, debates in business and contemporary society about responsible governance and enterprise.

The Rule of Law, Freedom of Expression and Islamic Law

Hossein Esmaeili, Flinders University, Australia, Irmgard Marboe, University of Vienna, Austria & Javaid Reman, Brunel University, UK The importance of the rule of law is universally recognised and of fundamental value for most societies. Establishing and promoting the rule of law in the Muslim world has become a pressing but complicated issue.

One important aspect of the rule of law is freedom of expression.

Given the sensitivity of Muslim societies in relation to their sacred beliefs, freedom of expression, as an international human rights issue, has raised some controversial cases. This book, drawing on both International and Islamic Law, explores the rule of law, and freedom of expression and its practical application in the Muslim world.

Gender Justice in Islamic Law Homicide and Bodily Injuries

Musa Usman Abubakar, Bayero University, Nigeria This book seeks to interrogate the classical fiqh formulation on gender and homicide with a view to exploring further the debate on whether the so-called gender injustice in Islamic law is a human creation or attributable to the divine sources of the Qur’an and Sunnah. The study is in response to the increasing criticism of the Islamic criminal law regime and the accusation that it discriminates on the basis of gender. It argues that any attempt to critique a religious question through the lens of traditional Western human rights ideals would be resisted by the vast majority of Muslims.

What We Imagine and What We Can't Graham Ward, University of Oxford, UK In his sequel to Unbelievable, Graham Ward presents a nuanced portrait of the mystery and creativity of the human imagination. Discussing the likes of William Wordsworth, William Turner, Samuel Palmer and Ralph Vaughan Williams, and drawing on his own rich encounters with belief, Ward asks why it is that the imagination is so fundamental to who and what we are. Using metaphor and story to unpeel the hidden motivations and architecture of the mind, he grapples with profound questions of ultimacy and transcendence. Unimaginable reveals that, in understanding what it really means to be human, what cannot be imagined invariably means as much as what can.

Bloomsbury Studies in Religion and Popular Music Series Editor: Christopher Partridge Religion's relationship to popular music has ranged from opposition to 'the Devil's music' to an embracing of modern styles and subcultures in order to communicate its ideas and defend its values. Similarly, from jazz to reggae, gospel to heavy metal, and bhangra to qawwali, there are few genres of contemporary popular music that have not dealt with ideas and themes related to religion, spiritual and the paranormal. Whether we think of Satanism or Sufism, the liberal use of drugs or disciplined abstinence, the history of the quest for transcendence within popular music and its subcultures raises important issues for anyone interested in contemporary religion, culture and society. Bloomsbury Studies in Religion and Popular Music is a multi-disciplinary series that aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of these issues and the relationships between religion and popular music.

The book examines popular music artists - including Bob Dylan, Prince and Katy Perry - and looks at the way religion comes into play in their work and personas. Genres explored include country, folk, rock, metal and Electronic Dance Music. Case studies in the book originate from a variety of geographic and cultural contexts, focusing on topics such as nationalism and hard rock in Russia, fan culture in Argentina, and punk and Islam in Indonesia. An important contribution to the growing field of religion and popular music studies.

The Reception of Jesus in the First Three Centuries Three-Volume Set

Edited by Chris Keith, St. Mary’s University, UK, Helen K. Bond, University of Edinburgh, UK, Christine Jacobi, Humboldt University Berlin, Germany & Jens Schröter, Humboldt University Berlin, Germany These volumes focus upon the diversity of receptions of the Jesus tradition, with memory theory providing the framework for the approach. Core literary texts such as Gospels and other early Christian writings are discussed in detail, but the volumes also highlight the importance of literary and non-literary contexts outside the gospel genre; including the Apostolic Fathers, patristic writers, traditions such as the Abgar Legend, and modifications to the gospel genre such as the Diatesseron. Evidence from material culture, such as pictographic representations of Jesus in the staurogram and Alexamenos Graffito, as well as sarcophagi carvings, are also included.

The Philosophy of Knowledge: A History Four-Volume Set

Edited by Stephen Hetherington, University of New South Wales, Australia, Stephen Gaukroger, University of Sydney, Australia, Henrik Lagerlund, University of Western Ontario, Canada & Nicholas D. Smith, Lewis & Clark College, USA Divided chronologically into ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary periods, this set presents the history of one of philosophy's greatest challenges: understanding the nature of knowledge. Each volume centres around three key questions: what conceptions of knowledge have been offered? Which have shaped epistemology in particular and philosophy in general? How is knowledge conceived by philosophers now?

Overseen by an international team of leading philosophers, this is the first major collection to address one of philosophy’s defining topics.
