Cambridge University Press Reforming the North The Kingdoms and Churches of
Book SynopsisThe turbulence of the Protestant Reformation marks a turning point in European history, but the Scandinavian contribution to this revolution is not well known outside the Northern world. Reforming the North focuses on twenty-five years (1520â45 AD) of this history, during which Scandinavians terminated the medieval Union of Kalmar, toppled the Catholic Church, ended the commercial dominance of the German Hanse, and laid the foundations for centralized states on the ruins of old institutions and organizations. This book traces the chaotic and often violent transfer of resources and authority from the decentralized structures of medieval societies to the early modern states and their territorial churches. Religious reform is regarded as an essential element in the process - in the context of social unrest, political conflict, and long-term changes in finance, trade, and warfare. Reforming the North offers a broad perspective on this turbulent period and on the implications of the ProtestTrade Review"...a well-narrated book." -Goran Malmstedt, American Historical Review"The author strikes a masterful balance between attention to detail and maintaining a clear, stumulating narrative. This book enhances our understanding of this period by treating it from a Scandinavian rather than a national perspective." -Jason Lavery, Luthern Quarterly"...Larson's book should be appreciated for its clarity by those looking for an introduction to the Northern Reformations, and for its vision by those familiar with their histories." -Erick Thomson, Canadian Journal of HistoryTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1.

Cambridge University Press Interpreting Duns Scotus
Book SynopsisJohn Duns Scotus is commonly recognized as one of the most original thinkers of medieval philosophy. His influence on subsequent philosophers and theologians is enormous and extends well beyond the limits of the Middle Ages. His thought, however, might be intimidating for the non-initiated, because of the sheer number of topics he touched on and the difficulty of his style. The eleven essays collected here, especially written for this volume by some of the leading scholars in the field, take the reader through various topics, including Duns Scotus''s intellectual environment, his argument for the existence of God, and his conceptions of modality, order, causality, freedom, and human nature. This volume provides a reliable point of entrance to the thought of Duns Scotus while giving a snapshot of some of the best research that is now being done on this difficult but intellectually rewarding thinker.Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1. John Duns Scotus's life in context Stephen D. Dumont; 2. The modal framework of Duns Scotus's argument for the existence of a first cause Richard Cross; 3. Duns Scotus on essential order in De primo principio and elsewhere Thomas M. Ward; 4. Duns Scotus on how God causes the created will's volitions Gloria Frost; 5.

Cambridge University Press Ted Hughes and Christianity
Book SynopsisTed Hughes is one of the most important twentieth-century British poets. This book provides a radical reassessment of his relationship to the Christian faith, revealing his critically-endorsed paganism as profoundly and productively engaged with all the essentials of Christian thought. Hughes''s intense criticism of the Reformation, his interest in restoring the Virgin Mary to her pre-Christian status as divine mother-goddess, his attempts to marry evolutionary science and scripture with a biological interpretation of the fall, his endorsement of the cross as the central symbol of the human condition, and the role of Christ in his myth of Sylvia Plath are among the many topics explored. Along the way, Troupes establishes strong thematic and intertextual links between Hughes and the American Transcendentalist tradition - a tradition which offers moments of vital illumination of Hughes''s religious themes while encouraging a more generous trans-Atlantic appreciation of Hughes''s literaryTrade Review'Ted Hughes and Christianity is a brave, unorthodox and unexpected book - but a very welcome one all the same. Troupes has emphatically made his case that Hughes is a thinker in the Christian tradition - and in his maverick fashion has written a highly entertaining and thought provoking book.'Table of Contents1. The deeper life; 2. The biological fall; 3. The biblical fall; 4. The crucifixion; 5. Puritanism and the goddess; 6. Sacrament and transcendence in River; 7.

Cambridge University Press Liturgy and the Emotions in Byzantium
Book SynopsisThis book explores the liturgical experience of emotions in Byzantium through the hymns of Romanos the Melodist, Andrew of Crete and Kassia. It reimagines the performance of their hymns during Great Lent and Holy Week in Constantinople. In doing so, it understands compunction as a liturgical emotion, intertwined with paradisal nostalgia, a desire for repentance and a wellspring of tears. For the faithful, liturgical emotions were embodied experiences that were enacted through sacred song and mystagogy. The three hymnographers chosen for this study span a period of nearly four centuries and had an important connection to Constantinople, which forms the topographical and liturgical nexus of the study. Their work also covers three distinct genres of hymnography: kontakion, kanon and sticheron idiomelon. Through these lenses of period, place and genre this study examines the affective performativity hymns and the Byzantine experience of compunction.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments; Abbreviations; 1.

Cambridge University Press A History of Hittite Literacy
Book SynopsisWhy did the Anatolians remain illiterate for so long, although surrounded by people using script? Why and how did they eventually adopt the cuneiform writing system and why did they still invent a second, hieroglyphic script of their own? What did and didn''t they write down and what role did Hittite literature, the oldest known literature in any Indo-European language, play?

Cambridge University Press Rome and the Invention of the Papacy
Book SynopsisThe remarkable papal history known as the Liber pontificalis permanently shaped perceptions and the memory of Rome, the popes, and the many-layered past of both city and papacy within Western Europe. Rosamond McKitterick offers pioneering insights into the evolution of this extraordinary source, and its significance.Trade Review'With this book, Rosamond McKitterick makes a powerful contribution to medieval history. Her thorough study demonstrates the construction of the papacy through the act of collective biography embodied in the Liber Pontificalis, enabling us to look with new eyes at the city of Rome during its momentous transition from imperial capital to centre of western Christianity.' Marios Costambeys, University of Liverpool'McKitterick shows how the Liber pontificalis, never objective or neutral, both chronicled and was itself an instrument in the transformation of Rome from imperial city to Christian capital, a capital in which the popes replaced the Emperor as its master.' Patrick J. Geary, Institute for Advanced Study'A key narrative on the authority of papal Rome, the Liber pontificalis still carries so much weight that many historians take it for granted. This is no longer possible with Rosamond McKitterick's book at hand. It is an absorbing enquiry into the creation and dissemination of a powerful text.' Mayke de Jong, Utrecht University'McKitterick's masterful book offers a novel approach to the Liber pontificalis, showing how diligently it shaped medieval views of Christian Rome, of the papacy and of the Church as an institution. She combines careful manuscript scholarship with a thorough explanation of the changing historical context and a broad sweep of ideas. This is a highly rewarding read for anyone interested in medieval Rome, in the formation of the Western Church and in the cultural transformation of post-classical Europe.'

Cambridge University Press Immortality in Ancient Philosophy
Book SynopsisImmortality was central to ancient philosophical reflections on the soul, happiness, value and divinity. Conceptions of immortality flowed into philosophical ethics and theology, and modern reconstructions of ancient thought in these areas sometimes turn on the interpretation of immortality. This volume brings together original research on immortality from early Greek philosophy, such as the Pythagoreans and Empedocles, to Augustine. The contributors consider not only arguments concerning the soul''s immortality, but also the diverse and often subtle accounts of what immortality is, both in Plato and in less familiar philosophers, such as the early Stoics and Philo of Alexandria. The book will be of interest to all those interested in immortality and divinity in ancient philosophy, particularly scholars and advanced students.Trade Review'… the research and insights are of a consistently high quality … the volume will find a welcome place among other scholarly treatments of immortality and divinity … Recommended.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Methodists and their Missionary Societies
Book SynopsisMethodism played an important part in the spread of Christianity from its European heartlands to the Americas, Asia, Africa and the Pacific. From John Wesley's initial reluctance, via haphazard ventures and over-ambitious targets, a well-organized and supported Wesleyan Society developed. Smaller branches of British Methodism undertook their own foreign missions. This book, together with a companion volume on the 20th century, offers an account of the overseas mission activity of British and Irish Methodists, its roots and fruits. John Pritchard explores many aspects of mission, ranging from Labrador to New Zealand and from Sierra Leone to Sri Lanka, from open air preaching to political engagement, from the isolation of early pioneers to the creation of self-governing churches. Tracing the nineteenth-century missionary work of the Churches with Wesleyan roots which went on to unite in 1932, Pritchard explores the shifting theologies and attitudes of missionaries who crossed cultural aTrade Review’There has long been a need for a concise and comprehensive account of British Methodism's engagement in world mission. John Pritchard's volume admirably meets that need and will be essential reading for any student of Methodism.’ Brian E. Beck, former President and Secretary of the Methodist Conference '... a very important, readable history of a wonderful story where British and Irish missionaries, alongside local converts, migrants and those in the colonial world, established Methodism across the planet. A denomination of 80 million people needs to remember where it came from so that it can help determine its future. This text, and its companion volume, will be a major contribution to this.' Irish Methodist Newsletter 'John Pritchard has spent most of his ministry in mission and mission affairs for the Methodist Church and this work is informed by all of that, but it is primarily a carefully researched and thoughtful analysis of the vast canvas of mission the Methodist in all of their denominational manifestations undertook over 140 years. John is to be congratulated and I, for one, await keenly the second volume covering the twentieth century which is hinted at in the conclusion.' Proceedings of the Wesley Historical Society ’John Pritchard has written a very satisfying book that is likely to serve for a good time as the standard work on Methodist mission activity before 1900. Along with [the] companion volume ...scholars and general readers are now equipped with two excellent accounts of the work of the Methodist missionary societies.’ Wesley and Methodist StudiesTable of ContentsAbbreviations; Glossary; Place-Names; Preface; Chapter 1 Beginning with Wesley; Chapter 2 Coke’s World Parish; Chapter 3 1813; Chapter 4 Colonies and Dominions; Chapter 5 Pioneers; Chapter 6 Gospel and Justice; Chapter 7 The WMMS: The First Fifty Years; Chapter 8 Into India; Chapter 9 The Challenge of China; Chapter 10 Advance in Africa; Chapter 11 Islands in the Sun; Chapter 12 Parallel Missions; Chapter 13 The Century in Retrospect; Chapter 14 The Life of the Missionary; Chapter 15 Women Workers; Chapter 16 Missionary Martyrs of the Nineteenth Century; Conclusion A New Century;

Taylor & Francis Ltd Jewish and Christian Women in the Ancient
Book SynopsisWinner of the 2023 CSBS'' Frank W. Beare Award.Honourable Mention for Best Book in Jewish Studies from the British and Irish Association for Jewish Studies.This engaging and accessible textbook provides an introduction to the study of ancient Jewish and Christian women in their Hellenistic and Roman contexts.This is the first textbook dedicated to introducing women's religious roles in Judaism and Christianity in a way that is accessible to undergraduates from all disciplines. The textbook provides brief, contextualising overviews that then allow for deeper explorations of specific topics in women's religion, including leadership, domestic ritual, women as readers and writers of scripture, and as innovators in their traditions. Using select examples from ancient sources, the textbook provides teachers and students with the raw tools to begin their own exploration of ancient religion. An introductory chapter provides an outline of commonTrade Review"Attentive to our learning conditions and lived contexts, Parks, Sheinfeld, and Warren provide an often candid and accessible entrée into the study of women in ancient Judaism and Christianity. Their incredible new book guides us into both the scope and depth of the study of this complicated, yet exciting world, boosted by a range of creative, reflexive, and relevant exercises. This dynamic team of scholars has made an engaging and interactive textbook like no other!" - Joseph A. Marchal, Ball State University, USA"The goal of this book is to be a one-stop shop for anyone who wants to incorporate Jewish and Christian women in their Greco-Roman contexts into courses on the ancient Mediterranean. By providing methodology and context chapters, the authors situate students and instructors both for a rich learning experience. Written at an accessible register using a vast range of source materials and with numerous explanatory boxes, illustrations, and useful discussion questions, this book will prove invaluable in diverse courses - from religious studies, to ancient history, to women’s and gender studies, and even race and ethnicity." - Rebecca Futo Kennedy, Denison University, USA."Sara Parks, Shayna Sheinfeld, and Meredith Warren have co-authored an engaging and pedagogically intelligent textbook, which provides a very constructive reading experience for both teachers and students. The book shines in the way it explains the relevance and purpose of gendered approaches, including why questions of gender have been ignored in the past, why they matter, why it is difficult to study them, and how to study them. The book is also delightfully up-to-date regarding teaching practices and platforms, as is shown, for instance, by the helpful suggestions involving the use of breakout rooms or Google map tours. (...) The textbook provides a wealth of insights into the study of gender in antiquity and a precious addition to the teaching resources available." - Elisa Uusumaki, Revue de Qumran"Jewish and Christian Women in the Ancient Mediterranean is, first and foremost, an undergraduate textbook. However, it will easily appeal to anyone who’s really serious about studying women and gender in the history of Judaism and Christianity. (...) This thorough text begins by laying out a solid hermeneutical framework in the first four chapters. The authors provide key techniques and definitions needed in the study of gender from roughly 300 BCE to 300 CE. These chapters also provide an accessible overview of history, gender, positionality, religion, and canons of scripture. (...) The remaining six chapters are thematic, utilizing the tools and cumulative understanding of the first four chapters to address questions about women and gender in ancient Judaism, the early Jesus movement, religion in the daily life of women, women in literature, martyrdom accounts, and subsequent history. The breadth of literary and archaeological explorations is truly exceptional and enlightening. Regular recaps and summaries, detailed glossaries, informational sidebars, and suggested activities for learners significantly add to the value of this text, making it a well-rounded resource. (...) The authors have “built a kind of ‘people’s history’ that gives at least a small glimpse into the elusive stories of non-elite people in antiquity” (p. 320). This interdisciplinary achievement is precisely what makes their textbook such a singularly valuable resource for any reader curious about the status of women during this important period of history" - Mark M.

However, Jesse Spohnholz shows that that event did not happen, but was an idea created and perpetuated by historians and record keepers since the 1600s. Appropriately, this book offers not just a fascinating snapshot of Reformation history but a reflection on the nature of historical inquiry itself. The Convent of Wesel begins with a detailed microhistory that unravels the mystery and then traces knowledge about the document at the centre of the mystery over four and a half centuries, through historical writing, archiving and centenary commemorations. Spohnholz reveals how historians can inadvertently align themselves with protagonists in the debates they study and thus replicate errors that conceal the dynamic complexity of the past.Trade Review'Engaging, thoughtful, and witty, Spohnholz's unraveling of a historical myth from the Reformation is both a great tale and a timely and insightful consideration of how and why we read and write history. The questions raised by this important book will challenge scholars, teachers, and students seeking to understand the worlds of early modern religion, and unsettle many of our assumptions about our relationship with the past.' Bruce Gordon, Titus Street Professor of Ecclesiastical History, Yale University, Connecticut'Jesse Spohnholz tells the story of a document understood to record a heroic moment, as well as a story about how that moment became enshrined in history, that is as gripping as any murder mystery. The Convent of Wesel never happened, but Spohnholz clearly lays out why it was so important for all sorts of people over many centuries to remember a past that did not happen. In our era of fake news and fabricated traditions, The Convent of Wesel provides both a cautionary tale and a defense of the practice of history.' Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks, Distinguished Professor, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee'Jesse Spohnholz's lively and detailed explication of the twists and turns of the story of the Convent of Wesel alone would have made this a signal contribution to Reformation and early modern history. But the book is so much more. In sparkling prose studded with penetrating sights, Spohnholz reveals how archives themselves shape evidence and reflects at length on the doing of history. The Convent of Wesel is a must read for all historians and not just for those interested in the Reformation or religious history.' Mary Lindemann, University of Miami'… Spohnholz's book offers a clear methodological challenge to all historians to consider the origins and provenance of their sources with greater clarity, accounting both for the biases of those who created the sources and the biases of those who categorized and archived them. These methodological implications, which stem from the yeoman's work that Spohnholz has done in tracking the archival history and representations of the Wesel articles, make this book a must read not only for Reformation historians, but for all scholars of early modern Europe.' Christopher W. Close, German History'By examining a series of now-obscure divines, archivists, and historians from a critical perspective that helps us understand what they saw and how they influenced later interpreters, Spohnholz convincingly shows why we must consider not only the texts of evidence from the past but also their archival trajectories if we wish to understand their meaning and deploy them as evidence ourselves.'

Cambridge University Press Englands Second Reformation
Book SynopsisThis compelling new history situates the religious upheavals of the civil war years within the broader history of the Church of England and demonstrates how, rather than a destructive aberration, this period is integral to (and indeed the climax of) England's post-Reformation history.Trade Review'Anthony Milton's magnum opus sets out a powerful reinterpretation of the politics of religion in seventeenth-century England. Instead of seeing Anglican conservatives pitted against Puritan revolutionaries, Milton depicts an era of Second Reformation, a contest between rival Reformers of the Church of England. A magisterial book.' John Coffey, University of Leicester'Remarkable for the breadth of its scholarship and depth of its analysis, the very best thing about Anthony Milton's magnum opus is the clarity of its exegesis and of its reimagining of the mid seventeenth century as a struggle for the re-formation of the Church of England by its engagement with contested pasts and challenging presents. This is intellectual, cultural and religious history of the highest order.' John Morrill, University of Cambridge'Anthony Milton is to be congratulated on this substantial work which reassesses the religious upheavals of England in the mid-seventeenth century.' Martin Cowper, Congregational History Society Magazine'… in this deeply scholarly book, Milton provides a significant re-framing of our own 'origin myths' and places the violent events of the mid-17th century as much, if not more, at the centre of a historical understanding of the nature of the Church of England as those of the mid-16th century ... The case for the scholarly importance of England's Second Reformation is without doubt …' Judith Maltby, Church Times'… This is a nuanced and subtly textured book … it is a deeply rewarding read that will challenge both new students and longtime scholars of the period to reimagine their past approaches.'

WW Norton & Co Catholicism
Book SynopsisA magisterial history of the centuries-long conflict between progress and tradition in the world's largest international institutionTrade Review"Through vivid portraits and nuanced analysis of Catholic traditionalists and reformers, McGreevy shows how persistent divisions within Catholicism have shaped as well as mirrored central conflicts in modern world history. Catholicism reveals why the Catholic church generates intense hatred and fierce loyalty, enraging conservatives by changing so much while frustrating progressives by changing so little. A landmark book." -- James Kloppenberg, author of Toward Democracy"In an epic about moral globalization since the French Revolution, John T. McGreevy narrates a quest for understanding and conversion, a tale of diasporas and missions. This is truly a majestic book." -- Jeremy Adelman, coauthor of Worlds Together, Worlds Apart"For those of us pained by how political divisions manipulate and distort Catholicism today, John T. McGreevy offers essential perspective and the mixed consolation that this is nothing new. His book unfolds an epic drama as power contends with democracy, authority with diversity, world with spirit." -- Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking"If you want to understand the world, don’t ignore the history of its most global institution. John T. McGreevy exposes the paradoxes of the Church: an institution surprisingly adaptable to different cultures, riven by faction, yet called to common action. With admirable candor, impartiality, elegance, and economy, he tells a story of failings and faith." -- Felipe Fernández-Armesto, author of Out of Our Minds"[A] wonderful new study… One of the book's many strengths is the confidence to range across the world from Latin America to sub-Saharan Africa. Intellectually this would be a challenge for any historian, though McGreevy effortlessly guides us with a steady hand through this complex history over the last two centuries and more." -- Enda Delaney - The Irish Times"In this appealing, easily readable and amply noted volume, McGreevy identifies phases in the development of Catholicism over the past two-and-a-half centuries with the overriding interests, themes or controversies for each period in his view… a truly engaging and substantially reliable narrative on how Catholicism has arrived at its current phase as a global Church." -- John Borelli - The Tablet"Catholicism: A Global History does justice to the vast scope and influence of this multicultural and multilingual creed… it covers vast ground with disciplined concision." -- Daniel Rey - History Today"Beautifully written… a sweeping study that casts into relief, on a global stage, the paradoxes and contradictions of Roman Catholicism… This book reads beautifully, and even the seasoned expert in Catholicism will learn a great deal." -- Piotr H. Kosicki - The Times Literary Supplement

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Religious Humor in Evangelical Christian and
Book SynopsisIncorporating perspectives from religious studies, humor studies, cultural and film studies, and theology, as well as original data from textual analysis and the voices of religious comedians, this book critically analyses the experiences of believers who appreciate that their faith is not necessarily a barrier to their laughter. It is often thought that religion and humor are incompatible, but Religious Humor in Evangelical Christian and Mormon Culture shows that humor is not only a popular means of entertainment, but also a way in which an individual or community expresses their identity and values. Elisha McIntyre argues that believers embrace their sense of humor, actively producing and consciously consuming comic entertainment that reflects their own experiences. This process is not however without conflict. The book argues that there are specific characteristics that indicate a unique kind of humor that may be called religious humor'. Through an examination of religious Trade ReviewReligious Humor in Evangelical Christian and Mormon Culture makes a substantial contribution to the growing field of the study of humor (specifically the genre of comedy) and religion. The focus on producers of humorous religious media, and on comedians in particular, in relation to religious audiences proves especially fruitful. * Journal for Religion, Film and Media *Finding similarities of core values among various Mormon and Evangelical Christian groups, Elisha McIntyre pinpoints another shared virtue: self-reflexive religious humor. Constructing a fresh apologetic for the place of laughter within these conservative communities, McIntyre expertly negotiates the tensions between their religious traditions (particularly those of LDS) and popular culture, merrily exploring areas of clean humor, sex, sin, and swearing, though not in that order. * Terry Lindvall, Professor of Communication, Virginia Wesleyan University, USA *Religious Humour in Evangelical Christian and Mormon Culture is a most welcome addition to the study of religion and humour. McIntyre focuses on two groups that can be seen as populated by humourless prudes, but in her very capable hands she shows us how they use strategies that make sense in their religious subcultures to make their co-religionists laugh. This book will expose people to a world of humour that is not normally available in HBO or Netflix specials, but which exposes the moral orders of American Evangelicals and Latter-Day Saints in new and insightful ways with a sophisticated theoretical framework. McIntyre has given us a work of insightful, accessible, and valuable scholarship. * David Feltmate, Associate Professor of Sociology, Auburn University at Montgomery, USA *What makes something funny to evangelicals and Mormons? This is the core concern of Religious Humor in Evangelical Christian and Mormon Culture. Through detailed analyses of stand-up performances, movies, web series, cartoons, and other instances of comedy, the book offers an important perspective on an understudied aspect of contemporary American Christianity. Using accessible language that preserves the lighthearted spirit—and even the humor—of its subject, the book situates evangelical and Mormon joking into robust theoretical frameworks.. * Reading Religion *Table of ContentsList of illustrations Acknowledgements Introduction 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Jesus in the Victorian Novel
Book SynopsisThis book tells the story of how nineteenth-century writers turned to the realist novel in order to reimagine Jesus during a century where traditional religious faith appeared increasingly untenable. Re-workings of the canonical Gospels and other projects to demythologize the story of Jesus are frequently treated as projects aiming to secularize and even discredit traditional Christian faith. The novels of Charles Kingsley, George Eliot, Eliza Lynn Linton, and Mary Augusta Ward, however, demonstrate that the work of bringing the Christian tradition of prophet, priest, and king into conversation with a rapidly changing world can at times be a form of authentic faitheven a faith that remains rooted in the Bible and historic Christianity, while simultaneously creating a space that allows traditional understandings of Jesus' identity to evolve.Trade ReviewOverall, this is a thought-provoking book that continues the important project of revaluing theology’s significance for Victorian fiction, alongside the work of scholars like Susan E. Colón, Joshua King, Mark Knight, and J. Russell Perkin. Readers who have engaged with contemporary work in narrative theology may be intrigued by its conclusions about storytelling and community * Modern Philology *“The ubiquity of Christ is not just a theological principle; it’s also a fact of Victorian culture. Jessica Ann Hughes has brilliantly taken on this alpha and omega of all themes, and traced it insightfully across some of the period’s influential works of fiction. Jesus in the Victorian Novel is Victorian Studies at its very best.” * Timothy Larsen, McManis Professor of Christian Thought and Professor of History at Wheaton College, USA and author of A People of One Book: The Bible and the Victorians *“Mainstream Victorian realists reimagined Jesus not to debunk the Christian story, as Jessica Hughes shows, nor to secularize it, but rather to relocate it within a decidedly modern sensibility. Such is the premise of this spectacular, beautifully argued book. Along the way, too, we encounter much additional intrigue: German higher criticism, the period’s tensions between theology and science, rival atonement theories, and—perhaps most interesting of all—the question of how best to represent God in fiction. Some works are especially easy to recommend. This is one of them.” * Ryan J. Stark, Professor of Humanities, Corban University, USA *Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: The Theological Consequences of Cultural Narratives Chapter 2: The Narrative Consequences of Theology Chapter 3: Jesus the Revolutionary King Chapter 4: Jesus the Reconciling High Priest Chapter 5: Jesus the Moral Prophet Conclusion: Resurrecting Jesus: Religious Experience and the Novel Bibliography Index

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC TT Clark Handbook of African American Theology
Book SynopsisThis handbook explores the central theme of Christian faith from various disciplinary approaches and different contexts of black experience in the United States. The central unifying theme is freedom; an important concept both in American culture and Christianity. African American theology represents a Christian understanding of God's freedom and the good news of God's call for all humankind to enter lifetrue human identity and moral responsibilityin genuine and just community. Contributors to the volume argue that African American theology highlights how racism and other intersecting forms of oppression complicate the human predicament; and that their eradication requires an expansion of salvation to include the liberation of persons who lack full participation in society and enjoyment of the good (and goods) made possible by that society. The essays in this handbook employ the tools of biblical criticism, history, cultural and social analysis, religious studies, philosophy, and sysTrade ReviewThe book will serve well as a text for introductory theology courses and for advanced study of African American theology. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty. * CHOICE *This text is a bold statement detailing the theological legacy of a people. African Americans have made an indelible mark on the pages of Christian theology and this fine text explores this ongoing development, covering all the major themes and disciplines in an exemplary manner.
