A Reader in Religion, Nature and Ecology

The Philosophy of Being in Two Gita Commentaries

Edited by Richard Bohannon

Chakravarthi Ram-Prasad

This book depicts some of the diverse ways that religious narratives and practices have helped people connect to the physical world around them. To do so, it is divided into three parts: the wilderness, the garden, and the city.

Traditions represented include nature spiritualities, Asian traditions, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, and indigenous traditions. Reflecting the most current scholarship in the study of religion and nature, as well as providing important historical essays, it draws on a range of perspectives and methodologies, including historical, theological, philosophical and literary methods. Each part contains a critical introduction by the editor which provides an overview of issues and guides students to key ideas, alongside suggestions for further reading and resources on the topics.

The Gita is a central text in Hindu traditions, and commentaries on it express a range of philosophicaltheological positions. This book approaches two of the most significant commentaries through a study of the interaction between the abstract atman (self) and the richer conception of the human person. With close readings, Ram-Prasad draws relevant and illuminating comparisons with contemporary Christian theology and Western philosophy.

Travel and Religious Practice in Western Society

Religion or Belief, Discrimination and Equality

new

This title reflects the way in which the city interacts with the sacred in all its many guises, with religion and the human search for meaning in life. It takes a multidisciplinary approach, combining the expertise of philosophers, historians, architects, social geographers, sociologists and anthropologists, and it draws a nuanced picture of the different layers of religion, of the sacred and its diverse forms within the city, with examples from Europe, South America, the Caribbean, and Africa.

2

Drawing for the first time on evidence from practitioner’s experiences with which to characterise the previously dichotomous academic debate, this volume is a ground-breaking and benchmark analysis of Socially Engaged Buddhism (SEB) in the UK. Ultimately, the book locates Socially Engaged Buddhism in the UK and places it within the broader and global context of an emerging ‘Western Buddhism’, characterising the phenomenon and its relationships to the wider Buddhist world.

Offering both a theoretical exploration of the intersection of the city, nature, and religion, as well as a sociological analysis of the 1997 flood in Grand Forks, North Dakota, USA, Bohannon provides the first study to show how religious factors have influenced how the relationship between nature and the city is perceived, and in particular have helped to justify the urban control of nature.

The Crisis of Islamic Masculinities In order to evaluate whether there really is only one valid, ideal Islamic masculinity, this book explores key figures of the Qur’an and IndianPakistani Islamic history, and exposes the precariousness of tight constraints on Islamic manhood, addressing the current debates in gender studies.

Religion in new Environmental and in PB Climate Change

South Asian Sufis new in PB

With regional case studies and a globally synthesised approach, this book gathers recent research on functions of religion in climate change from theological, ethical, philosophical, anthropological, historical and earth system analytical perspectives.

Charting the spread from regional case studies to global-scale syntheses, the authors demonstrate that world religions and indigenous belief systems are already responding in highly dynamic ways to on-going and projected climate changes - in theory and practice, for better or for worse.

Testing the Role of Materiality

Reconfiguring the ‘Genuinely’ Religious Film Sheila J. Nayar Nayar argues that what makes a filmic manifestation of the sacred true or authentic may say more about a spectator or critic's particular way of knowing, as influenced by alphabetic literacy, than it does about the aesthetic or philosophical – and sometimes even faith-based – dimensions of the sacred on-screen. Engaging with everything from Hollywood religious spectaculars, Hindu mythologicals, and an international array of films revered for their ‘transcendental style,’ The Sacred and the Cinema unveils the epistemic pressures at the heart of engaging with the sacred onscreen.

Amy Whitehead Both theoretical and descriptive, this book illustrates how religions and cultural practices can be reexamined as performances that necessarily involve not only human persons, but also objects. By examining two case studies, the contemporary Pagan Glastonbury Goddess religion in the Southwest of England and a cult of the Virgin Mary in Andalusia, Spain, Whitehead asserts that objects can be more than representational or symbolic.

The book's global perspective provides wide-ranging, yet detailed, coverage of religious dress as Hume examines the 2,500 year-old tradition of Buddhist robes, the nudity of India's holy men, and much more.

H.D. and Modernist Religious Imagination Mysticism and Writing Elizabeth Anderson Exploring the intersection of religious sensibility and creativity in the poetry and prose of the American modernist writer, H.D., this volume explores the nexus of the religious, the visionary, the creative and the material. Drawing on original archival research and analyses of newly published and currently unpublished writings by H.D., Anderson shows how the poet's work is informed by a range of religious traditions, from the complexities and contradictions of Moravian Christianity to a wide range of esoteric beliefs and practices.

Encountering Buddhism in Twentieth-Century British and American Literature Edited by Lawrence Normand and Alison Winch

New Directions in Religion and Literature This series offers a timely critical intervention to the interdisciplinary crossover between religion and literature, speaking to wider contemporary interests and mapping out new directions for the field in the early twenty-first century.

John Cage and Buddhist Ecopoetics

The Glyph and the Gramophone

Peter Jaeger

D.H. Lawrence's Religion

This book explores the ways in which 20th-century literature has been influenced by Buddhism, and has been, in turn, a major factor in bringing about Buddhism's increasing spread and influence in the West.

Focusing on Britain and the United States, Buddhism's influence on a range of key literary texts is examined in the context of those societies' evolving modernity.

Writers discussed include T.S. Eliot, Jack Kerouac, J.D. Salinger and Iris Murdoch.

Following Cage’s own creative innovations in the poem-essay form and his use of the ancient Chinese text, the I Ching, to shape his music and writing, this book outlines a new critical language that reconfigures writing and silence. This book provides readers with a critically performative site for the Zen-inspired ‘nothing’, which resides at the heart of Cage’s poetics.

Approaching God Between Phenomenology and Theology Patrick Masterson Approaching God explores the ways in which phenomenology, metaphysics and theological enquiry can throw light upon each other.

Masterson devotes chapters to phenomenological, metaphysical, and theological approaches to God. This book essentially provides a dialogue about theological and theistic issues between the phenomenological approach of the leading French Christian phenomenologist Jean-Luc Marion and the realist metaphysical approach of Aquinas.

The series engages with the central questions and issues within the field, including the problem of evil, the cosmological, teleological, moral, and ontological arguments for the existence of God, divine foreknowledge, and the coherence of theism.

Free Will in Philosophical Theology Kevin Timpe This work takes the most recent philosophical work on free will and uses it to elucidate and explore theological doctrines involving free will. Timpe shows the reader how a particular philosophical account of the nature of free will — an account known as source incompatibilism — can help us understand a range of theological doctrines.

KEVIN TIMPE is former Templeton Research Fellow at St Peter's College, University of Oxford, UK and is Professor of Philosophy at Northwest Nazarene University, USA.

It does not evangelize for God and religion or, indeed, for atheism and secularism. Instead, it explores in a witty yet objective and balanced way the idea of God and the strengths and weaknesses of the standard arguments for his existence.

The God Confusion

Revised and completely updated in its second edition, this book is an historical overview of the Creationism vs. evolution debate. McCalla argues that the debate over Creationism is at bottom a debate over how to interpret the biblical text rather than over how to interpret the world.

Drawing on authoritative recent editions and major manuscript archives, this is the first complete study of the development of D.H. Lawrence's religious thought. Covering the war years, Lawrence’s American works, his time in Australia and Mexico, and the works of the last years of his life, this book provides readers with a complete analysis of Lawrence as a religious man, thinker and artist.

French Free-Thought from Gassendi to Voltaire

W.R. Matthews: Philosopher and Theologian

J.S. Spink

H.P. Owen

Spink, within a single full volume, presents a balanced account of the radical inquiries in literature, philosophy, and the natural sciences that stemmed from the intellectual crisis of the 1620s. He analyses the content of this body of free-thought and devotes particular attention to the ways in which the new ideas were disseminated in the face of the hostility of the civil and ecclesiastical authorities.

Although associated with the movements known as ‘modernism’ and ‘liberal Protestantism’ W.R. Matthews was essentially a Christian Platonist who moreover was theologically orthodox on all vital points.

Owen quotes widely from Dr Matthews’s published writings on The Concept of God, Religion and Reason, and Christology and Ethics. He brings out their significance both for an understanding of the ways in which religious thought developed in the first half of this century and for the light they shed on questions discussed by theologians today.

On Being Sure in Religion Ian T. Ramsey Prompted by F.D. Maurice lectures delivered at King’s College London in 1961, Ramsey discusses ‘eternal’ punishment; Christian social duty; and the problem of subscription ex animo to Articles, and argues that it is reasonable to be sure in religion while being tentative in theology.

In the course of his discussion, he compares Maurice and Newman in relation to their views on theological certainty, and also considers the question whether the time has come for revision of the Thirty-nine Articles.
