Scarecrow Press A Communion Sunday in Scotland ca. 1780
Book SynopsisSources for 17th, 18th, and early 19th-century Eucharistic practices in the Church of Scotland are scarce, in part because each minister was free to draw up the form and content of the services he conducted. In addition, many 19th and 20th century liturgical scholars chose to dismiss this form of public worship, instead focusing on the earlier tradition of the Book of Common Order. A Communion Sunday in Scotland ca. 1780: Liturgies and Sermons addresses the dearth of these liturgical studies by presenting a modern edition of a late 18th-century published account of Communion Sunday in the Church of Scotland. Robin A. Leaver edits and annotates several sermons, prayers, and congregational songs by the Reverend John Logan (1747?-1788), together with relevant background information and comparative documents. Citing Logan''s sermons, liturgies, and psalms as a representative model, Leaver demonstrates that there was a developed liturgical structure and form in the Church of Scotland, in wTrade ReviewA Communion Sunday in Scotland ca.1780: Liturgies and Sermons contribute significantly to our understanding of the interactions of music, liturgy, and theology in eighteenth-century England and Scotland. Interdisciplinary in nature, weaving together strands of theology, liturgy, hymnody, psalmody, and art music to enlarge our thinking about these fields and their interrelationships. A Communion Sunday in Scotland is a valuable resource for our understanding of liturgy, theology, church polity, and congregational song in the eighteenth-century Scottish Church. Leaver has done readers a significant service in making Logan’s liturgies and sermons easily accessible, while situating them in relation to other eighteenth-century liturgical sources * Society for 18th Century Music *

University Press of America Culture and Biblical Hermeneutics
Book SynopsisThis volume grapples with what the author calls the challenge that historical and cultural relativism poses to the hermeneutical process when applied to the authoritative Scripture. The author addresses this ''challenge'' by analyzing both the roots and the current state of biblical hermeneutics and by developing a biblical theology of hermeneutics and culture. Larkin begins his historical analysis by uncovering the origin of the major thought forms and patterns that have shaped contemporary hermeneutical discussion. He then focuses on evangelical and nonevangelical contributions to the debate. Culling the writings of biblical scholars and missiologists, he outlines how they have addressed such issues as the nature and authority of Scripture, the interpreter''s preunderstanding, and contextualization. Among other vitally important subjects, Larkin also discusses the role of the Holy Spirit and man in the interpretive process. He concludes with guidelines for interpreting and applying S

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Erotic Liberalism
Book SynopsisA treatment of Montesquieu's Persian Letters, which argues that the novel is a philosophic critique of despotism in all its forms: domestic, political and religious. It shows that Montesquieu believed that the Enlightenment failed as a philosophy by not recognising man as an erotic being.Trade ReviewIt is no small compliment to say that Diana Schaub's study is worthy of its engrossing subject. With her guidance-deft, nuanced, and sometimes bold-we join Montesquieu on a wondrous journey of self-discovery. It is a memorable trip. -- Ralph Lerner, University of ChicagoIn an elegant work Diana Schaub claims the ^RPersian Letters^I for political philosophy and connects it to liberalism today. With many revelations she brings to light the little games that Montesquieu plays with his readers, and she brings to life the matters of love that formal liberalism ignores. The book is no less delightful than serious. -- Harvey C. Mansfield, Harvard UniversityA brief review cannot do justice to the wealth and subtlety of Schaub's detailed analyses of the novel . . . By being attentive to the literary form that Montesquieus chose to investigate sexual politics, Schaub has succeeded in reinstating the two Montesquieus, the novelist and the political philosopher. -- Janie Vanpee, Eighteenth-Century FictionSchaub offers scholars a new reading of Montesquieu's ^RPersian Letters^I....Her interpretations are persuasively defended. * CHOICE *

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?

Rowman & Littlefield Just Sex Students Rewrite the Rules on Sex
Book SynopsisSince the early 1980s, a student movement has emerged from the belief that sexual violence is neither inherent nor inevitable. This text chronicles the move to bring an end to all forms of sexual violence and to mould a new sexual paradigm where consensual sex is the norm.Trade ReviewJust Sex is the long overdue counterweight to post-feminism invective, an archive for the as yet unwritten history of the feminism movement to end sexual violence. Just Sex offers a much-needed counter-history to reports of the death of feminism. These essays proclaim that feminist activism is very much alive. Just Sex is an exceptionally useful student handbook, and a tool for making 'just sex' possible, on college campuses and in the world beyond them. -- Lisa Marcus * The Women's Review Of Books, Vol. Xvii, No.7, April 2000 *This book represents the work and thought of a series of college generations for whom stopping rape has the same import that ending legal race-based segregation and stopping the Vietnam War had on college campuses in the sixties . . . . Just Sex goes right to the heart of what differentiates sex from rape, what differentiates a human engaging in sex from an object used for sexual release; what makes sex intimate instead of annihilating. This is a book my generation of feminists (who were, before that, sexual liberationists) could not have imagined, because this current generation of assault-and-rape prevention advocates are engaged in the process of making both sex and intimacy a whole-body, whole-mind experience. -- Andrea Dworkin, from the forewordTable of ContentsChapter 1 Foreword Part 2 Putting a Name to the Face: From Rape Survivor to Activist Chapter 3 Survivor-Activist in the Movement Against Sexual Violence Chapter 4 The Perfect Rape Victim Chapter 5 Male on Male Rape Chapter 6 Creating a Sacred Space of Our Own Chapter 7 Breaking Silence, Making Laughter: Testimony of an Asian-American Sister Part 8 The Issues that Divide and Conquer: Free Speech, Pornography and a "Kinder, Gentler Feminism" Chapter 9 The Writing on the Wall: Free Speech, Equal Rights and Women's Graffiti Chapter 10 Illusions of Post-Feminism; Victim Feminism; Welfare Mothers and the Race for Heterosexuality Chapter 11 Crime Without Punishment: Pornography in a Rape Culture Part 12 Rewriting the Rules Chapter 13 Asking for Consent is Sexy Chapter 14 The Demands from the Women of Antioch Chapter 15 The Anti-Rape Rules Part 16 Revolutionary Strategies Chapter 17 Peer Education: Student Activism of the 90s Chapter 18 Kicking into Consciousness: Getting Physical in Both Theory and Practice Chapter 19 Because Rape is a Weapon of Oppression, Anti-Rape Must Mean Anti-Oppression Chapter 20 When the Ax Came Into the Forest, the Trees Said "The Handle is One of Us" Part 21 Institutional Change Chapter 22 Rape and the Media: Putting a Face on Rape Chapter 23 Training Camps: Lessons in Masculinity Chapter 24 Sexual Violence: The Legal Front Chapter 25 Afterword

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Christian Liberal Arts
Book SynopsisChristian Liberal Arts articulates the practical, pedagogical, and theological reasons why Christian liberal arts colleges are distinctive in the world of American higher education. Mannoia enumerates the intrinsic and instrumental values of Christian liberal arts, and how both should forcefully shape an institution''s goals. He suggests that Christian colleges should strive to help their students go beyond the extremes of dogmatism and skepticism to achieve critical commitment. Colleges must also aid their students to adjust to real world problems without sacrificing academic quality. Mannoia believes that the solution to this challenge must inevitably integrate multiple disciplines, values and learning, and theory with practice, a process from which both faculty and graduates will acquire the capacity to resolve the thorniest dilemmas facing society and the Christian community.Trade ReviewIn the discussions concerning higher education that have filled the press in recent years, the component that's been overlooked is the liberal arts college—particularly the Christian liberal arts college, of which there are hundreds in the U.S. Jim Mannoia here fills that gap with an articulate, deeply informed, slogan-free development of the thesis that the unique task of such institutions is to produce critically committed graduates tackling real world problems. It's the best statement we have of what the Christian liberal arts college could and should contribute to the remarkable pluralism of American higher education. -- Nicholas Wolterstorff, Noah Porter Professor Emeritus of Philosophical Theology, Yale UniversityJames Mannoia's Christian Liberal Arts gives a clear and profound analysis of why the liberal arts are humanly indispensible, how they should be done, and how the Christian approach to them can help solve some of the most difficult problems facing higher education of all sorts today—secular and non-secular. He has made a unique contribution to current discussions, and one which no responsible leader in the field can afford to overlook. -- Dallas Willard, University of Southern CaliforniaProvides a good resource for faculty and administrators of liberal arts colleges to interact with each other about the missions of their colleges and how to implement them. And for parents who are considering college choices for their children, and who want to explore the issues faced by those of us in Christian higher education, the book will be revealing. * Teaching Theology & Religion *Blending philosophical competence with powerful and practical insights, Mannoia has written a 'must-read' book for faculty and administrators prepared to wrestle with what it means and what it asks when educators hold both critical and Christian commitments. -- Dr. Sharon Daloz Parks, co-author, Common Fire: Leading Lives of Commitment in a Complex World
