This book combines text and image to examine the human as both catalyst of crisis and principal agent for its mi�ga�on. Beau�fully illustrated and inspired by a range of media from graphic novels to podcasts, this is a visual experiment, one that invites readers to think again and anew about how the visual is integral to thought.

In Agrarian Spirit, Norman Wirzba demonstrates how agrarianism is of vital and con�nuing significance for spiritual life today. Far from being the exclusive concern of a dwindling number of farmers, this book shows how agrarian prac�ces are an important correc�ve to the poli�cal and economic policies that are doing so much harm to our society and habitats.

Jewish Nostalgia as Religious Practice Rachel B. Gross
The Failed Promise of Muslim Inclusion Evelyn Alsultany NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS
NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS
How diversity ini�a�ves end up marginalizing Arab Americans and US Muslims. In the realm of corpora�ons, Alsultany cri�cally examines the firing of high-profile individuals for an�-Muslim speech—a remedy that rebrands corpora�ons as an�-racist while ins�tu�onal racism remains intact. This book finds an ins�tu�onal pa�ern that defangs the promise of Muslim inclusion, deferring systemic change un�l and through the next “crisis.”
Argues that nostalgic ac�vi�es such as visi�ng the Museum at Eldridge Street or ea�ng tradi�onal Jewish foods should be understood as American Jewish religious prac�ces. Tracing American Jews’ involvement in a broad array of ostensibly nonreligious ac�vi�es, Gross argues that these prac�ces illuminate how many American Jews are making meaning within American Judaism today.

By the end of France’s long seventeenth century, the seminary-trained, reformminded Catholic priest had crystalized into a type recognizable by his clothing, gestures, and ceremonial skill. Ceremonial Splendor examines the way France’s early seminaries promoted the emergence and construc�on of the true churchman as a mode of embodiment and ecclesias�cal ideal between approximately 1630 and 1730.

It was far from inevitable that Rome would emerge as the spiritual center of Western Chris�anity in the early Middle Ages. Conven�onal narra�ves explain the rise of Chris�an Rome as resul�ng from an increasingly powerful papacy. Maskarinec looks outward, to examine how Rome interacted with the wider Mediterranean world in the Byzan�ne period.

Devan Stahl argues that engagement with metaphysics and a theology of nature is crucial for Chris�ans to evaluate both gene�c science and the moral use of gene�c technologies.
Why American missionaries started building schools, colleges, medical schools, hospitals, and YMCA chapters in China before 1900. Haddad recounts the unexpected origins and rapid rise of American ins�tu�ons in China by telling the stories of the Americans who established these ins�tu�ons and the Chinese who changed them from within.

Inves�gates the impact of radio, television, and the internet on Mormonism and what it tells us about new media’s integra�on into American life. As Feller shows, the conflicts they faced illuminate the fundamental forces of control and compromise that enmesh an emerging medium in American social and cultural life.
Vibrant forms of everyday religiosity pave the way for religion to be weaponized and securi�zed to advance poli�cal agendas in Ukraine and beyond. Based on ethnographic data and interviews conducted since before the Revolu�on of Dignity and the outbreak of armed comba�n 2014, Wanner inves�gates the condi�ons that catapulted religiosity, religious ins�tu�ons, and religious leaders to the forefront of poli�cs and geopoli�cs.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Recent legal history in the US reveals a hardening tendency to treat religious freedom and sexual and reproduc�ve freedom as compe�ng claims on public life. They are united, though, by the fact that both are rooted in our culture’s understanding of privacy. Faith in Exposure shows how, over the course of the nineteenth century, privacy came to encompass such contradic�ons.
Examines what it means to support sharia in twentyfirst century Dagestan, where calls for an Islamic state coexist with nostalgia for the days of Stalin's rule and Mecca calendars hang alongside portraits of Pu�n. Included is the self-reflec�on of a researcher in a conflict zone, how the experience can shi� understanding of the ways people think and live.

FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS
Mar�n Luther (1483-1546) is a classic Chris�an author who spearheaded the Reforma�on and whose witness has relevance for life in the present-day world. Grace and Gra�tude presents two texts that represent his spirituality. They open up a specific, central, and dis�nc�ve mark of his concep�on of the structure of Chris�an life.
Within contemporary Orthodoxy, debates over sex and gender have become increasingly polemical over the past genera�on. Gender Essen�alism and Orthodoxy offers an immanent cri�que of gender essen�alism in the stream of the contemporary Orthodox Church influenced by the “Paris School” of Russian émigré theologians and their heirs. 3

Featuring archival and oral history sources, the book examines the religious and cultural life of the parishioners of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, showing how this Black Catholic congrega�on fit into the overall religious ecology of the neighborhood.
This book explores God’s use of violence as depicted in the Hebrew Bible. Ophir shows how the Bible’s varied forma�ons of divine violence an�cipate the main outlines of the modern European state. A cri�que of the modern state, the book argues, must begin in unpacking its mostly repressed theological dimension.

On Salafism offers a compelling new understanding of this phenomenon, both its development and contemporary manifesta�ons. Salafism became associated with fundamentalism when the 9/11 Commission used it to explain the terror a�acks and has since been connected with the violence of the so-called Islamic State.
Seeking to understand the doctrine of jus�fica�on by way of biblical hermeneu�cs, this book uncovers the differences between Mar�n Luther and the Council of Trent that set them on a collision course for conflict, and the church toward what has arguably been its most significant division in the West.

For centuries, Chris�an theology affirmed God as simple (haplous) and Triune. But the doctrine of the simple Trinity has been challenged by modern cri�cs of classical theism. How can a God, conceived as purely one without mul�plicity, be a Trinity? This book sets a new historical founda�on for addressing this ques�on by tracing how divine simplicity emerged as a key no�on in early Chris�anity.
Colón-Emeric explores the life and theological vision of Archbishop and Saint Óscar Romero, one of the founders of libera�on theology, which interprets Scripture through the plight of the poor.

Examines how the Second Great Awakening disrupted gender norms across a breadth of denomina�ons. The displacement and internal migra�on of Americans created ripe condi�ons for religious compe��on in the North. Opening their own hearts to new religious impulses, some religious visionaries offered up radical new dispensa�ons. A wide array of churches, including Methodists, Bap�sts, Mormons, Shakers, Catholics, and Perfec�onists joined the fray.
Drawing on a wide context of bookmaking, this sweeping study traces fundamental changes in books made to support musical prac�ce during the Carolingian Renaissance. Susan Rankin explores Carolingian concern with the expression and control of sound in wri�ng—discernible through instruc�ons for readers and singers visible in liturgical books.

In Sufi Deleuze, Michael Muhammad Knight engages Deleuzian ques�ons and themes from within Islamic tradi�on. Even if Deleuze did not think of himself as a theologian, Knight argues, to place Deleuze in conversa�on with Islam is a project of compara�ve theology and faces the challenge of any compara�ve theology: it seemingly demands that complex, internally diverse tradi�ons can speak as coherent, monolithic wholes.
In dialogue with Schelling, a new turn for him and the lynchpin of this argument, Caputo addresses the nocturnal powers in being, the specters that haunt our being and bring us up short. Caputo returns to the original impulse of his work, the "mys�cal element" in things, here under the name of an "anxious apopha�cs," as dis�nct from an "edifying apopha�cs" anchored in unity with God. 7

The Book of Revolu�ons unveils the epic saga of ancient Israel as the visionary legacy of inspired authors in different �mes and places, and the Torah as an emblem of pluralis�c belief born of three revolu�onary moments in history that preserved spiritual reali�es that con�nue to speak powerfully to us today.
Casts new and fascina�ng light on why Jesus was killed. The Messiah Confronta�on argues that Jesus was convicted and crucified because of a confronta�on between two Jewish ideologies— expec�ng a Messiah or rejec�ng the Messiah idea— in which Jesus and the Pharisees (the majority of Jews) were actually on the same side.

Jordan Daniel Wood changes the trajectory of patris�c scholarship with this comprehensive historical and systema�c study of one of the most crea�ve and profound thinkers of the patris�c era: Maximus Confessor (560–662 CE).

A Hindu–Christian Conversation Daniel Soars
Evangelical Influence on Human Rights and U.S. Foreign Relations Lauren Frances Turek
CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS
When American evangelicals travelled abroad in the late twen�eth century to fulfill their Biblical mandate for global evangelism, their experiences led them to engage more deeply in foreign policy ac�vism at home. Lauren Frances Turek tracks these trends and illuminates the complex and significant ways in which religion shaped America's role in the late–Cold War world.
The World and God are Not-Two is a book about how the God in whom Chris�ans believe ought to be understood. The key conceptual argument that runs throughout is that the dis�nc�ve rela�on between the world and God in Chris�an theology is best understood as a non-dualis�c one.
