RICHARD T. HUGHES

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Christian Ethics

Foreword by Brian McLaren

“This work is to be located in the first rank of the many new debates regarding the nexus between ‘religion’ and ‘politics’ in America. Hughes bases his narrative on thorough research, is at home in the biblical and theological literature that informs the debates, and demonstrates a conscience for presenting an approach that should advance the common good.”—Martin E. Marty, author of The Protestant Voice in American Pluralism 232 pp. 6 x 9. 2009. Cloth 978-0-252-03285-1 $29.95

The Only True God

Minoan Kingship and the Solar Goddess A Near Eastern Koine NANNO MARINATOS

“A radical and provocative view of Minoan art, religion, and society. Marinatos provides new readings of numerous Minoan artifacts, offering solutions to many puzzles and placing the imagery within a semantic system of sacral kingship and cosmology.”—Kenneth D. S. Lapatin, author of Mysteries of the Snake Goddess: Art, Desire, and the Forging of History 296 pp. 6.125 x 9.25. 237 line drawings, 1 map, 3 tables.

Early Christian Monotheism in Its Jewish Context

Jewish Feminists Complex Identities and Activist Lives

JAMES F. McGRATH

Prophecy and Transformation in a Radical Religious Group

DINA PINSKY

GORDON SHEPHERD AND GARY SHEPHERD

“This work puts forward a compelling thesis, questioning the default assumption that what separated first-century Jews and Christians was the Christian elevation of Jesus of Nazareth to divine status as equal with YHWH. McGrath shows decisively that this was not so, arguing with clarity and force and engaging the relevant bodies of primary and secondary literature with precision.”—Paul J. Griffiths, author of Lying: An Augustinian Theology of Duplicity

“Delightful to read, this book provides an underrepresented perspective in Jewish women’s studies and significant evidence about the ways individuals negotiate changes brought about by social movements.”—Rebecca T. Alpert, author of Whose Torah? A Concise Guide to Progressive Judaism

“In this intriguing and eminently readable account of the inner workings of ‘a heretical religion’ following the death of its founder, Gordon and Gary Shepherd introduce us to a number of organizational developments, such as the democratization of prophecy, that could astonish not a few students of religion.”—Eileen Barker, professor emeritus, London School of Economics

“A happy combination of cutting-edge thought and careful exposition of fundamental constitutional questions. Its case studies are presented as stories— not primarily stories of fact but stories of ideas.

Collectively, they illustrate the evolution of Supreme Court jurisprudence with respect to the relationship between religion and government.”—Joan DelFattore, author of The Fourth R: Conflicts over Religion in America’s Public Schools

Righteous Indignation

EDITED BY NEWELL G. BRINGHURST AND DARRON T. SMITH

Religion and the Populist Revolution

“A welcome addition to the libraries of readers interested in the history of the relationship between the LDS Church and African Americans, in learning from African American members and the current (and increasingly postiive) status of this relationship, and in considering areas for improvement. It contains thoughtful analyses of the need to decisively repudiate racial folklore among the Saints and of the benefits of more dialogue on racial issues.”—The Journal of Mormon History

“Creech’s concise and lucid study provides remarkable evidence that serious attention to religious history can richly inform social and political history.

It seems likely that Righteous Indignation will be influential with a wide range of scholars from various disciplines. His arguments for restorationsism as the key to Populism are convincing, as is his vision of nineteenth century southern evangelicalism as more complex, diverse, and political than many interpreters have imagined.”—Journal of Southern Religion
