Natural Law, Homophobia, and LGBTQI+ Exclusion in the Catholic Church
Vivencio O. Ballano, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Philippines
In this cutting-edge work, Ballano investigates how the deductive natural law moral framework and institutional homophobia play a key role in the social exclusion of the LGBTQI+ community in the Catholic Church He traces the contours of this discrimination by using Francis’s synodal theology as the primary conceptual framework along with sociological perspectives on gender, gender diversity, and morality
The Catholic Dialogue School From Theory to Practice and Back
Lieven Boeve, KU Leuven, Belgium
Based on diligent theological work and practical experience, Boeve explores how Catholic schools can reconfigure their identity in an increasingly secular and pluralised world At a time when Christian values education has lost its plausibility and effectiveness, this work examines how a wider 'Catholic dialogue school' project would welcome the plurality of beliefs among its staff and students, actively facilitate dialogue between them, and introduce the Christian voice into this dialogue in a contemporary and challenging way

In Solidarity with the Earth
A Multi-Disciplinary Theological Engagement with Gender, Mining and Toxic Contamination
Edited by Hilda P. Koster, University of St Michael's College, University of Toronto, Canada & Celia Deane-Drummond, Campion Hall, University of Oxford, UK
Engages an international consortium of theologians, sociologists, and environmental scientists on the effects of resource extraction and pollution on women’s lives, in particular the lives of poor, minoritized and Indigenous women Based on case studies, the book creates a multidisciplinary conversation on the gendered vulnerabilities resulting from extractive industries and toxic pollution, and also charts the resilience and courage of women as they resist polluting industries, fight for clean water and seek to protect the land. While ecumenical in scope, the book takes its departure from the concept of integral ecology introduced in Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’

Natural Law & the Secular Mythos
What Has Been Left "Unsaid" in Current Debates in Natural Law
Gregory Morgan, St Catherine Laboure Catholic Church
This book argues that natural law – when construed as an epistemological and trans-cultural lingua franca, adjudged capable of legitimating the rational intelligibility and universal applicability of specific Christian moral principles within contemporary “secular” discourse – has failed Through a detailed analysis of the contributions of three prominent natural law theorists who are located within a shared philosophical-theological tradition, namely, John Finnis, Jean Porter, and John Milbank, the text will seek to illuminate the extent to which this failure is as much intramural as it is extramural

The Scandal of Pentecost A Theology of the Public Church
Wolfgang Vondey, University of Birmingham, UK
This work analyses the day of Pentecost in its significance for the public advent of the church following the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ The primary interest of this evaluation is to identify the contributions of Pentecost to a theology of the ‘public church’ – a concept originally developed by the historian of religion Martin E Marty At its heart, this book proposes a public ecclesiology with the foundational argument that the day of Pentecost initiates the public witness of the Christian community indicative of its recognition as disciples of Jesus Christ

Christ for the Excluded Christology, Globalization, and Liberation
Robert J. Rivera, St. John's University, USA
Robert J Rivera critically engages the contemporary challenges of neo-liberal globalization Concerned with the ways in which neo-liberal processes of globalization can, and do, exclude the most vulnerable, Rivera offers a Christology of liberation that is rooted in, and privileges, the lived realities of the excluded This Christology, Rivera argues, is a critical resource that enables the excluded to resist, redeem, and re-imagine globalization In dialogue with the social sciences and decolonial philosophies, Rivera puts forward an account that is suggestive of the ways in which theologians can respond to contemporary challenges of injustice in our world today

Augustine, Rahner, and Trinitarian Exegesis
An Exploration of Augustine's Exegesis of Scripture as a Foundation for Rahner's Trinitarian Project and Rule
Martin E. Robinson, Hope Anglican Church, Leppington, Australia
Robinson argues that Augustine provides weighty, biblically rich, support for Rahner’s Trinitarian agenda at exactly those points where Rahner is explicitly critical of Augustine and the “Augustinian-Western tradition”, overcoming various weaknesses detected in the later tradition, and pre-empting many of Rahner’s later solutions This is the first consideration of how Augustine’s attention “to the biblical statements concerning the economy of salvation” intersects with Rahner’s assessment of the Augustinian-Western tradition

The Pentecostal Gender Paradox
Eschatology and the Search for Equality
Joseph Lee Dutko, Oceanside Community Church, Canada
This study critically assesses the relationship between women’s equality and eschatology in the Pentecostal movement For over one hundred years the role of women in Pentecostalism has been debated without a firm consensus The two competing impulses of the liberation and the exclusion of women in Pentecostal churches has been described numerous ways, including as the so-called Pentecostal “gender paradox ” By examining gender solely through an eschatological lens in history, Scripture, and praxis, Dutko argues that eschatology provides a valid critical approach in the Pentecostal gender debate because it provdes a consistent hermeneutic that authorizes the unrestricted ministry of women

English Public Theology
A Reformation Response to the Crisis of Natural Rights
Joan Lockwood O’Donovan, University of St. Andrews, UK
Examines the public theology of the English Reformation in a fresh and compelling way, as affording elements of a comprehensive theological critique of the western tradition of natural rights It swims against the current tide of scholarly ethical and political discussion which, outside of Anglican circles, overlooks or dismisses the moral and political theology of the English Reformation It also plunges against the tide of influential critiques of modern social and political thought, often Aristotelian or Thomist in perspective, which view Reformation theology as a source of the modern problems rather than a resource for addressing them

Addiction and the Captive Will
A Colloquy between Neuroscience and Augustine of Hippo
Cynthia Geppert, University of New Mexico and Albany Medical College, USA
Conducts a dialogue between the early Christian theologian, Augustine of Hippo, and three modern models of addiction The choice, learning, and brain disease models of addiction are examined in conversation with Augustine’s insight in the Confessions into the mechanism of sin’s subversion of the human will, apart from the grace of God The book argues that Augustine’s doctrine of the captive will most closely aligns with the brain disease model of addiction, and that his theology can bring a transcendent dimension both to the neuroscientific understanding of addiction and pathways out of it

Beyond Male and Female?
A Theological Account
of Intersex
Embodiment
Sam Ashton, St Paul's, Hadley Woods, UK
Are all people either male or female or does intersex embodiment push us beyond the malefemale binary? Traditionalists hold to the former, innovationists argue for the latter This book combines insights from both camps to maintain that we may know the ‘what’ of our sexed embodiment when we work out where we fit within God’s big story of creation to consummation It examines the breadth and depth of ancient and modern approaches to discerning the theological meaning and significance of sexed embodiment.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer and a Theology of the Exception
Kevin O’Farrell, Joni and Friends Disability Ministry, USA

Same-Sex Inclusion in the Episcopal Church
Caroline J. Addington Hall

The Cross at the Heart of the Church
Study in Ecumenical Recognition
Petre Maican, Radboud University, The Netherlands
Can Eastern Orthodoxy apply the term “church” to other Christian communities? Emerging from the 2016 Pan-Orthodox Council, this issue sparked one of the most heated debates in contemporary Eastern Orthodoxy According to Maican, grappling with this question within the current framework of Eastern Orthodox ecclesiology presents significant challenges. In this unifying work, he argues that neither the emphasis on the Eucharist nor the adherence to the Tradition of the Fathers is capable of accommodating legitimate Christian otherness Instead, Maican proposes a cruciform ecclesiology, positing the cross as not only foundational to doctrines and sacraments but also as the primary criterion for discerning the ecclesial nature of a community

Co-texts and Contexts in the Book of Jonah
Marian Kelsey, University of Nottingham, UK
Marian Kelsey argues that the book of Jonah weaves together many narratives with shared themes into a phenomenon of ‘interlocking allusion’ While describing the adventures of its protagonist, the narrative uses phrases, plot-lines and themes from many other scriptural texts, in such a way that a core interest of the book is to reflect upon a concept of and significant elements from scripture Kelsey thus suggests that the author(s) of the book engages with and reflects on scriptural literature, exploring the character of God as presented in the literature, and the implications for humanity when it behaves in a manner judged to be wicked

Loneliness in the Hebrew Bible

Heavenly Space in Hebrews and Its Jewish and Christian Environment
Passing through the Heavens
Stephen C. Wunrow
Stephen Wunrow addresses the pressing question of what the author of Hebrews meant by his descriptions of heaven, arguing that the author intended his references to heavenly space to be interpreted as realistic descriptions of a real place. Wunrow posits that language about heaven is neither metaphor nor a description of a “place” outside the creation, by examining other early Jewish and Christian texts that narrate or describe humans ascending into heaven Given the nature and the function of heavenly space as described in these texts, Wunrow suggests it is most probable that the authors of the texts intended their descriptions of heavenly space to be understood as realistic

Inaugurated Resurrection in Earliest Christianity
Daniel W. Hayter, King's College London, UK
Daniel W Hayter explores the concept of ‘inaugurated resurrection’ within earliest Christianity; the view that believers have experienced a present resurrection with Christ, in advance of their final resurrection at his return He argues that belief in inaugurated resurrection is already discernible in Paul’s own writings, in large part due to the influence of Scripture, suggesting that the influence of Ezekiel 36–37 on Paul’s understanding of the gift of the Spirit helps to explain this belief: Paul saw inaugurated resurrection as a way of speaking of receiving the Spirit

He proposes that when Paul applies temple language to the Corinthians by calling them naos theou (“God’s temple”), he sparks a creative process of interaction between the temple and the Corinthian assembly; a process of selecting, emphasizing, and organizing information from the source domain (temple) to see the target domain (the Corinthians) in a new light

Jesus' Physical Appearance
Biography, Christology, Philosophy
John D. Nelson
John Nelson presents the first full length study of the Gospels’ treatment of Jesus’ appearance, exploring precisely why, though Christ’s image is recognised across the modern world, he is not physically described in the texts Nelson argues that while the Gospels resemble Graeco-Roman biographies in their focus on a single individual, they also frequently depart from the genre’s conventions; one of their most glaring omissions, picked up in recent scholarship, is their total silence on what Jesus looked like

Priesthood and Temple in John’s Apocalypse
Constructing the Sanctuary
Timothy B. Tse
Timothy B Tse argues that, while John uses language drawn from the Hebrew Bible’s descriptions of YHWH’s dwelling place such as the Tabernacle and various iterations of the Temple, scholarship has overlooked the importance of his spatial transformation of that language Tse thus uses theories relating to Relevance, Resistance Theory, Critical Space Theory, and Conceptual Metaphor, to demonstrate that a significant part of John’s apocalyptic strategy of resistance is to re-present his vision to his audience spatially, so that they can experience a divinely ordained alternative to the world in which they live

Revisiting the God-fearer Thesis in the Development of Early Christianity
Thomas A. Robinson
Omitting god-fearers from the story of Christian success has rarely been considered But what if the evidence for god-fearers was scarce in its quantity and suspect in its quality? Thomas A Robinson examines in depth the theory, evidence, and trail of scholarly work on god-fearers, making a case for a substantial revision in the depiction of the god-fearer phenomenon and in the story of early Christianity and its engagement with both Jews and with the larger Greco-Roman population

The Message of Acts in Codex Bezae
A Comparison with the Alexandrian Tradition, Volume II
Josep Rius-Camps & Jenny Read-Heimerdinger, University of Wales Trinity Saint David, UK
A comparison of the message of Acts transmitted by Codez Bezae with that of the more familiar Alexandrian text, represented by Codex Vaticanus For each section of Acts, there is a side by side translation of the Bezan and Alexandrian manuscripts, followed by a critical apparatus and, finally, a commentary that explores the differences in the message of the two texts It is concluded that the Bezan text, with its interest in internal Jewish affairs and its focus on the struggles of the early disciples to free themselves from their traditional Jewish expectations and to achieve, despite their mistakes, a more accurate understanding of their master's teaching, is the earlier of the two texts

The third volume in the four-volume commentary on the Book of Acts, this work presents a fresh look at the text of Codex Bezae and compares its message with that of the Alexandrian text of which Codex Vaticanus is taken as a representative Of particular interest are the person of Paul and the unfolding of his character and theology It is found that in the Bezan text Luke portrays him as a fallible disciple of Jesus who is hindered by his traditional Jewish understanding from fully carrying out the mission entrusted to him in these first stages.

Reading the Way, Paul, and “The Jews” in Acts within Judaism
“Among My Own Nation”
Jason F. Moraff, The King’s University in Southlake, USA
Jason F Moraff challenges the contention that Acts’ sharp rhetoric and portrayal of “the Jews” reflects anti-Judaism and supersessionism. He argues that, rather than constructing Christian identity in contrast to Judaism, Acts binds the Way, Paul, and “the Jews” together into a shared identity as Israel, and that together they embark on a journey of repentance with common Jewishness providing the foundation

The Importance of Outsiders to Pauline Communities
Opinion, Reputation and Mission
Emma Louise Parker, Cranmer Hall, UK
This book argues that, despite Paul’s often dramatic and critical descriptions of non-Christians, his letters reveal a deep concern for the presence of outsiders and for their opinion of Christians Parker suggests that outsiders are enormously important to Paul: they determine whether Christian communities dwindle or thrive, while also playing a key role in helping such communities to understand and shape their purpose as missional disciples, develop their thinking and practice around normal daily events and relationships — and even shape how they understand God

Fan Fiction and Early Christian Writings
Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha and Canon
Tom de Bruin, Newbold College of Higher Education, UK
What can contemporary media fandoms, like Anne Rice, Star Wars, Batman, or Sherlock Holmes, tell us about ancient Christianity? Proposing an ingenious analysis, Tom de Bruin argues that disparaging terms applied to ancient Christian derivative texts, such as fakes, forgeries or corruptions, are not sufficient to capture the production, consumption, and value of these writings He instead suggests seeing them as analogous to contemporary fan fiction, and explores the analogies between current fan fiction and Christian pseudepigrapha, apocrypha and other secondary texts—and their limits

A critical exploration of cross-cultural Bible film reception presented through an analysis of the responses of UK and South African audiences to The Lumo Project: The Gospel of Mark (2014) and Son of Man (2006). Victoria Olaide Omotoso’s study seeks to fill the gap in existing research into the Bible and film by placing more emphasis on audience reception and highlighting the non-Western experience of biblical films. Through an examination of historic and cinematic debates, audience responses and filmmaker responses, Omotoso explores the ethnicity of Jesus, theological contexts and implications, and the presentation of Jesus in an androcentric world

Keir Hardie, the Bible, and Christian Socialism
The Miner's Prophet
Daniel L. Smith-Christopher, Loyola Marymount University, USA
Daniel L Smith-Christopher focuses on the life and efforts of Keir Hardie, one of the founders of the UK Labour Party and one of the foremost figureheads of trade unionism. Drawing upon the work of two significant American theorists contemporary to Hardie's efforts, Herbert Gutman’s classic essay on “Working-Class Religion” and Michael Gold's call for “Proletarian Literature”, Christopher-Smith marries British and American historical and theoretical debates to argue that Hardie's work is surely the quintessential example of a “proletarian exegesis” of the Bible

Male Circumcision and Female Bodies in Jewish and Christian Communities of Ancient Egypt
Females and Foreskins
Rebecca Harrocks
Rebecca Harrocks presents some of the earliest evidence of male circumcision from ancient Egypt, exploring the connotations and implications for the Jewish and Christian communities of Alexandria and Egypt The relevance of male circumcision for Jewish females is evident in Hebrew scripture, especially in relation to marriage, procreation, and parenthood, but little attention has been paid to women in scholarship Harrocks addresses this oversight by considering not only what male circumcision meant for men, but also what it meant for women and the female body

Eschatology and the Use of Psalms in Hebrews
Songs for the Last Days
Seth Whitaker, University of St Andrews, UK
Seth Whitaker argues that the Psalm texts function as the structural and theological backbone of Hebrews from start to finish, and that few scholars have examined the use of Psalms outside of quotations or connected the author of Hebrews' use of Psalms with his broader eschatological outlook. Whitaker suggests that the author’s eschatology is his dominating exegetical assumption, allowing numerous psalms to be read with multiple meanings

Redescribing Moral Agency in Sirach, 4QInstruction, and the Hodayot
A Triadic Comparison
World Kim, Rosebrook Presbyterian Church, USA
World Kim argues that recent scholastic studies have overemphasized differences amongst various Second Temple texts and neglected the similarities between them By employing four stages of comparison—description, juxtaposition, re-description, and rectification— Kim re-describes moral agency in Sirach, 4QInstruction, and the Hodayot, and aims to rectify the relationship between these texts

Preaching that Confronts Confederate Monuments
Religion and Anti-Racism in United States
Politics
David M. Stark, University of the South, Sewanee, USA
Stark looks at the way many Confederate monuments provided ongoing opportunities for commemorative speeches and ceremonies that would entrench racist ideologies in the American South He highlights best practices from recent counter-proclamations against monuments to the Lost Cause [e g Julian Carr's 1913 Silent Sam speech], developing a counter-homiletic that confronts Confederate monuments and the racist and white supremacist preaching ideologies around them

Preaching and Paul's Letter to the Romans
A Commentary on Paul and the Arrogant Gentiles
Ronald J. Allen
Allen argues that Paul wrote Romans to address the gentiles in the early Church at Rome because they exhibited arrogance towards Jewish members, thereby undermining the community of love and mutual support that God seeks for all In this pastorally engaged work, Allen not only provides historical commentary on Romans but also helps preachers and scholars make connections between arrogance and its destructiveness in communities today, as well as inviting congregations to participate in the grace that makes possible a loving and mutually respectful community

The Suffering of Job and an Enfleshed Homiletic
Bearing the Body’s Witness
Amy McLaughlin-Sheasby
Using the story of Job - a man whose life has been destroyed “for no reason” (Job 2:3) - McLaughlinSheasby develops an ‘enfleshed’ homiletic, in which she argues that the capacity to speak truly of God is dependent upon the capacity to speak truly of the suffering of others On this basis, McLaughlin-Sheasby proposes a theological and practical vision of preaching that is ethically responsive to those beyond the pulpit, asking the question: what does it look like for preachers to become faithful witnesses to the suffering of others?

BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS?
A new open access model for books
BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS is a collective-action approach to funding open access (OA) books. Through this model, we aim to make OA publication available to a wider range of authors by spreading the cost across multiple organisations, while providing additional benefits to participating libraries. By prioritising authors that are often underrepresented in scholarly publishing, including early-career and unaffiliated researchers and those based in/writing about low- and lower-middle- income countries, we hope to engage a more diverse author base, bringing their work to a wider global audience.
THE BOOKS
Following the success of our 2024-25 expansion, in 2025-26 we will continue to offer three collections of 20 titles each in:
• African Studies & International Development
• Environment & Climate Change
• Gender & Sexuality
BENEFITS TO LIBRARIES
• Contribute to a progressive OA funding model that aims to make 60 research titles available open access immediately on publication at no cost to the authors
• Receive guaranteed perpetual access to the 20 titles in each Open Collection you participate in
• Receive 1 year’s access to ~150 backlist titles in related areas for each Open Collection you participate in
• Be publicly acknowledged on our website
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
For more information and to discuss participating in the 2025-26 programme, contact our Online Sales team:
