Rowman & Littlefield Holy Writ as Oral Lit
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe idea that the Bible contains elements of folklore is not new. What makes Alan Dundes's latest book so remarkable, however, is his claim that the Bible is more folklore than anything else. Even more remarkable is the fact that after reading this book, such a claim seems absolutely convincing. This is an outstanding book that belongs on the shelf of anyone concerned either with folklore or the Bible. -- Michael P. Carroll, University of Western OntarioIt has long been recognized by professional biblicists that the Bible is full of duplications and that the Bible originally circulated orally. Folklorist Alan Dundes’ original contribution, carried out with the spriteliness and verve for which he is celebrated, is to show how the duplications are not contingent but inherent in the nature of folklore, and thereby to show how the folkloristic nature of the Bible continues in even its written form. A wonderful book. -- Robert Segal, Lancaster UniversityHoly Writ as Oral Lit offers insight into the Bible without diminishing it. * Columbus Dispatch *'Holy writ as Oral Lit,' a brief but illuminating excursus into the Bible. -- Johnathan Kirsch * Los Angeles Times, March 99 *The fact of variation in the Bible is an important point, which Dundes documents abundantly. . . Dundes's emphasis on folklore analysis for understanding the biblical writings is salutary. -- Ronald S. Hendel, University of California, Berkeley * Religious Studies Review *In the most recent of Dundes's three important contributions to the study of religion. It is our good fortune that this most eminent of American anthropologists and folklorists well known for his work on folklore theory and on subjects as diverse as German national charachter and American joke cycles, has now brought his scholarship to bear on religion. Dundes's work is already widely influential in the United States and deserves to be better known among British scholars of religion. * Journal of Contemporary Religion *This study provides an explanation for several of the discrepancies found in the Bible. It also gives the reader insight into the method used in this kind of study. * The Bible Today *Dundes persuasively makes his case for the folkloristic origins of biblical literature. * Western Folklore *The Holy Writ as Oral Lit is a very worthwhile book. It is enlightening, convincing, entertaining, and familiarizes the reader with the most important research done on Scripture and folklore. * Evangelical Review Of Theology *A worthwhile book. It is enlightening, convincing, entertaining, and familiarizes the reader with the most important research on Scripture and folklore. In addition, it gives the reader a bird's-eye view of the nature and genres of folklore. * Auss *While written for the novice studying the orally discursive nature of the Judeo-Christian canon, the book will also be useful to more advanced scholars, especially for its survey of the literature and comprehensive biography. * Christianity and Literature *Table of ContentsChapter 1 What Is Folklore?

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Trial of Christopher Okigbo
Book SynopsisWritten during the Nigerian-Biafran War of the late 1960s, The Trial of Christopher Okigbo boldly tackles questions of Pan-Africanism and independence - with the answers leading to blissful immortality or eternal damnation...After a fatal car accident, Hamisi wakes up in a strange land called After-Africa an afterworld for all Africans who have died since history began. He soon finds out, however, that his position in the afterlife hangs in the balance. To be allowed to stay, Hamisi must participate in the absurd trial of the renowned poet and solider, Christopher Okigbo, who was killed on the front lines. His crime? Choosing war over his art...The Trial of Christopher Okigbo is a wondrously surreal examination into the responsibilities of art and war and their uncomfortable coexistence.''[The Trial of Christopher Okigbo is] its own best proof that important political questioning and art are not mutually exclusive.'' New YorTrade Review[The Trial of Christopher Okigbo is] its own best proof that important political questioning and art are not mutually exclusive. * New York Times *Whether in speech or in writing, Mazrui dissected and unravelled Africa in a delightful manner. * Guardian *[Mazuri was] a towering academician whose intellectual contributions played a major role in shaping African scholarship. -- Uhuru Kenyatta, former president of Kenya

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc When Religion and Morals Become OCD
Book SynopsisThis essential resource brings recognition to scrupulosity and moral perfectionism, an often overlooked and misunderstood subtype of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).Two to three percent of the global population suffer from OCD. Of that number, approximately five percent of OCD sufferers report having religious or moral obsessions. Scrupulosity, an often under-recognized subtype of OCD, leads those affected to mistake clinical OCD symptoms for committing sins, offending God, or being morally corrupt. Many people with scrupulosity or moral perfectionism turn to clergy for help rather than a mental health professional.This book, authored by a therapist among the most experienced in the world in dealing with this disorder, covers the symptoms, diagnosis, history, development, causes, and treatment of scrupulosity. Intended for students, mental health professionals, and clergy, this essential resource includes the latest theory, research, treatments, and case studies necessary toTrade ReviewLeslie Shapiro is a highly skilled mental health clinician and author who has treated hundreds of patients with OCD and related disorders.

Her astute observations are evident in this important book. * Gail Steketee, Professor Emerita, Boston University *This book, written by an OCD expert with decades of experience, will be a valuable addition to any clinician's library. Leslie Shapiro has worked with patients with severe OCD in a residential setting at the OCD Institute at McLean Hospital since its inception and her sharing her insights garnered during her career is an invaluable addition to the field.

Continuum Publishing Corporation What I Believe
Book SynopsisIf one sets aside all scientific knowledge and learning, all formal theological language and skilful construction of theories, what remains as the core of faith? What do we need for our lives? What is indispensable to us? The author writes of trust in life, joy in life and suffering in life and in so doing writes a summa of his faith - and life.Trade ReviewBook previewed in Schwäbisches Tagblatt, 15 September, 2009‘What I Believe is not a book to be read quickly, but rather one to ponder over. Some of it is couched in philosophical and theological language, but it is not too difficult to understand and well worth any effort involved.' -- thegoodbookstall.org.uk‘Kung's continuing quest for language to speak meaningfully of God in today's world makes for exciting reading... Methodists seeking to commend their savior to others in the 21st century will find much value here.' -- Methodist Recorder‘The tone is positive and life-affirming but also down to earth... there is something engaging about his [Kung's] commitment to battle for a critical faith and for peace among religions rather than a clash of civilisations.' -- Church of England Newspaper‘Any book that leaves me asking whether my idea and experience of God is growing bigger or smaller has definitely achieved something.' -- Church of Ireland GazetteKung's book deserves to be read by all who are dreaming of a better world, for it is likely to spur us into action to bring it about. -- ReformTable of Contents1. Trust in Life; 2. Joy in Life; 3. Way of Life; 4.Meaning in Life; 5. Foundation of Life; 6. Power of Life; 7. Model; 8. Suffering in Life; 9. The Art of Living; 10. Vision of Life.
