Rowman & Littlefield Approaching Eden
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewSanders takes readers through a myriad of sources, ranging from medieval Jewish legends about Lilith to episodes of The Simpsons and movies such as Pleasantville (1998). . . . Recommended. * CHOICE, April 2010 *Her study reveals the assumptions we have made about what the story both says and doesn't say. She accomplishes this in articulate fashion that engages, informs, and entertains without being pedantic.

She accomplishes this in articulate fashion that engages, informs, and entertains without being pedantic. Through the lens of modern cultural phenomena she lets us glimpse how the chronicle from the first chapters of Genesis touches our lives in ways we may not even be aware of. * Confetti Antiques and Books, February 2010 *Theresa Sanders...has blessed us with a commentary that is scholarly, contemporary, perceptive and often very funny. Approaching Eden traces the 'first sin' through centuries of theological speculation and 80 years of fiction, film and television. * National Catholic Reporter *Sanders's work is often fascinating and always suggestive in how it illuminates the connections between Gen 2—3 and popular cultural products. * Relegere: Studies in Religion and Reception *Adam and Eve have become icons, pop stars. Their mythical presence emerges in The Simpsons, New Yorker cartoons, and Beech-Nut baby food advertisements. Approaching Eden is a delightfully serious romp through pop culture's religious unconscious. -- S. Brent Plate, Hamilton College, author, Blasphemy: Art that Offends; managing editor, Material ReligionTheresa Sanders' Approaching Eden gives us another adventure in Paradise with her fruitful analysis of the Adam and Eve biblical story within popular film and television. Ranging through drama to science fiction, horror to the Jesus genre and beyond, it is a veritable tree of knowledge. Her interfaith exploration of Genesis is an especially devilish delight. -- Anton Karl Kozlovic, Flinders University, Guest Editor, Australian Religion Studies ReviewApproaching Eden is without a doubt the most engaging and instructive book that I have read on reflections in popular culture of our foundational mythic text. -- John R. May, Louisiana State University, author of Nourishing Faith through FictionApproaching Eden is a gift to anyone attempting to bring faith and life closer in a world filled with mediated stories: in this case, tales and images influenced by the Biblical creation narrative of Genesis 1-3. Sanders is fearless in her critical analysis but never cavalier. Her prose is energetic and accessible; her surveys broad and her insights bold. Sanders makes theology a pleasure while enticing the reader to deeper theological scrutiny of accepted widely-held interpretations of Genesis through representations of Adam and Eve from movies to museums. Approaching Eden is an intellectual and spiritual delight. -- Sr. Rose Pacatte, FSP, founding director, Pauline Center for Media Studies; St. Anthony Messenger film and television columnistTable of ContentsChapter 1 In the Beginning Chapter 2 And God Said Chapter 3 A Helper Fit for Him Chapter 4 Fig Leaves Chapter 5 The Curse of Adam Chapter 6 The Curse of Eve Chapter 7 Monkeyshines Chapter 8 Back to Nature Chapter 9 Paradise Regained Chapter 10 The Final Frontier Appendix: Additional Uses of Adam and Eve in Film

Headline Publishing Group Basil Hume The Monk Cardinal
Book SynopsisFollowing Cardinal Basil Hume''s death on 17 June 1999, The Times concluded his obituary with a remarkable accolade: ''Few churchman in this century, inside or outside the Catholic Church, have died more deeply loved.''Basil Hume served as Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster for twenty-three years and his holiness and wisdom made him an extraordinary leader. In this enthralling biography, Anthony Howard, who has had unique access to Cardinal Hume''s private papers and the people who knew him best, traces his life, from his Newcastle upbringing through to his schooling at Ampleforth and his reign at Westminster, including his long and ultimately successful fight on behalf of the Maguire Seven and the Guildford Four.Trade Review'an excellent biography...it is a mark of Howard's achievement that, as a self-confessed "wistful agnostic", he is able to describe the intricacies of Hume's monastic, spiritual and episcopal life so well' * Sunday Times *'An eminent biographer ... Howard provides delightful details of Hume's human side' * Independent *

Hamilton Books Three Mystics Walk into a Tavern A Once and
Book SynopsisIn Three Mystics Walk into a Tavern, Jalal ad-Din Rumi, Moses de LeÃn, and Meister Eckhartâ three of the greatest mystics of all timeâmeet for an imaginary conversation that will inspire individuals of the twenty-first century to find their own spirituality and realize that everyone can be a mystic.Trade ReviewThe reader cannot help but join in the conversation, and not only because it is a conversation and not a treatise, a dialogue, and not a lecture. We join in because the conversation talks to the conditions and issues of today, in part through voices that speak today, in the present tense, and not only those that speak out of some misty distant past. The threads of this volume are woven together in a richly hued, tight, and very readable tapestry. The tapestry is also a doorway—into the warmest of intellectual and spiritual taverns, into which all of us are invited, out of the dark, windy night of the everyday world and its complications. The wise reader will read beginning to end, hardly stopping for breath, inspired. -- Ori Z.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Cultural Perspectives on Mental Wellbeing:
Book SynopsisAs human migration brings an ever more diverse range of people, cultures and beliefs into contact, Western medical systems must adapt to cater for the different approaches it encounters towards illness, the body, gender, mental health and death.Based upon training courses taught by the author to staff at hospitals, mental health professionals, and on degree courses, this complete resource provides an essential foundation for understanding the complex and manifold approaches to medicine and health around the world. An awareness of this diversity moreover allows healthcare professionals to better engage with their patients and offer them satisfactory care and support in the future.Trade ReviewWestern medical science is in the midst of a massive re-evaluation of the nature of consciousness and how it manifests in the lives of humans. A key aspect of this movement is the role of spirituality in mental and physical health, and how these effects vary in different cultures. Natalie Tobert's Cultural Perspectives on Mental Wellbeing is a brilliant foray into this domain. This excellent treatise will be talked about for years to come by professionals and laypersons alike. -- Larry Dossey, MD, author of ONE MIND: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It MattersThis is an important study highlighting the human and philosophical inadequacy of scientific and medical materialism, which is taken for granted when educating young scientists and doctors. This consensus leads to the categorisation of many human experiences as anomalous in terms of this limited if powerful understanding. When one questions and puts aside the assumption that consciousness is produced by the brain, many of the experiences discussed by Natalie become explicable and point towards a wider and deeper scientific and medical outlook, which has been the mission of the Scientific and Medical Network for over 40 years. I would encourage all health professionals to read this book with an open mind. -- David Lorimer, Programme Director, Scientific and Medical NetworkDr. Tobert brings many arguments and data to highlight the transient way humans accept knowledge, set laws, and then change their minds about what is 'correct'. She notes a gap between the perspectives of physicians and their patients: what is normal in one geographical location is not normal in another. A shift is needed - towards a more culturally universal paradigm. The author argues for the need to address questions of spirituality and religion, materialistic and spiritual perspectives and their importance for health. The book contains chapters on death and dying and shows how various experiences, among them near-death and end-of-life experiences, can radically cause a shift in worldview. This is a thoughtful medical anthropology book that takes a penetrative look at the variability of human views of life. -- Erlendur Haraldsson, author of At the Hour of DeathIn seventeen neat chapters, each helpfully introduced and then summarised for clarity, the author tackles pertinent subjects including 'cultural beliefs about health and illness', 'beliefs about conception and human identity', 'women's bodies and human behaviour', and 'cultural knowledge on death and dying'. This is a worthwhile book, making an ideal companion to two College publications: 'Spirituality and Psychiatry' (Cook et al, 2009) and 'Spirituality and Narrative in Psychiatric Practice' (Cook et al, 2016). Members of the Spirituality and Psychiatry SIG will certainly find it rewarding. Others might find it surprisingly beneficial, both accessible and enlightening, too. -- Larry Culliford * British Journal of Psychiatry *Table of ContentsForeword. Preface. Part 1: Introduction. 1.
