Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Liberating Faith
Book SynopsisThis sweeping new anthology shows how religion has joined with and learned from movements for social justice, peace, and ecological wisdom. Liberating Faith surveys the entire range of religious social activism: from liberation theology and feminist religion to ecotheology and peace activism.Trade ReviewRoger Gottlieb has done us all an enormous service by bringing together in this volume the words of the most inspiring and insightful thinkers of our time, from all over the world. We learn here, in passage after passage of surpassing eloquence, that political activism on behalf of peace and justice cannot live and grow unless suffused with spiritual powers. I hope this book will be widely read in classrooms all over the country, because it is a needed corrective for politics without heart, and religion without justice. -- Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States and professor emeritus of Political Science, Boston UniversityA powerfully inspiring interfaith overview of social change perspectives. * Free Associations *A must-read for those who want to rejuvenate their spirit, fire their religious imagination, and live interdependently with earth. -- Kwok Pui-lan, Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, MassachusettsRoger Gottlieb has gathered for us voices that bring together passion for justice, reverence for nature, religious depth, and a commitment to act. They sharpen our vision of what is and what could be. They speak with the peace and perserverance that arises from spiritually rooted political engagement. These are voices we dearly need. Listen. -- David Landis Barnhill, director of environmental studies and professor of English, University of Wisconsin, OshkoshThis volume could hardly be more timely! It appears just as new alliances of religious progressives are most needed. For discouraged progressives of all persuasions, it is an inspiring and instructive reminder of what has gone before, with remarkable achievement along the way. And for those who don't know the deep running streams of progressive religion, it is a vital education at the right time. -- Larry Rasmussen, Reinhold Niebuhr Professor of Social Ethics, Union Theological Seminary, New York CityRoger Gottlieb offers a splendid anthology of sanctity and hope. Religious and secular voices, in the best tradition of each, speak up, loud and clear. The sum is a synthesis of enlightened, courageous idealism. In a dark time, gratitude befits. -- Daniel Berrigan, author of Lamentations: From New York to Kabul and BeyondThe first word that came to mind was, very simply: exciting! This is the kind of collection for which many of us have yearned: ethically strong and substantive selections rooted in religious vision and devoted to social and environmental transformation. The readings reflect the breadth and depth of the editor's learning and moral commitments. This book will be a boon for the classroom and for religious leaders of all kinds. These readings can do more than inform; they have the power to inspire and enlightened activism in the quest for social justice and ecological integrity. -- James A. Nash, Boston University School of TheologyWhat a treasure-trove Liberating Faith is. Reading it is both intellectually enriching and spiritually nourishing. It offers an alternative to 'repressive fundamentalism' and 'spiritless secularism.' Truly, it is a rich resource for the seasoned social activist and beginner alike. * Religious Studies Review *Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction: A Liberating Faith Part 2 Part I: Tradition: Ethical Roots of Spiritual Social Activism Chapter 3 Judaism Chapter 4 Christianity Chapter 5 Islam Chapter 6 Jainism Chapter 7 Hinduism Chapter 8 Buddhism Chapter 9 Confucianism Chapter 10 Taoism Chapter 11 Luther Standing Bear, "Nature" Part 12 Part II: Precursors of a Liberating Faith Chapter 13 from Women Resistance and Revolution Chapter 14 from Women Speaking Chapter 15 from Abuses and Uses of the Bible Chapter 16 Feminist Theology, 1880-1900 Chapter 17 Prejudice Against the Colored Man Chapter 18 The Sin of Slavery and Its Remedy Chapter 19 from Solidarity and Communism, and The New Apstolate Chapter 20 from Rerun Novarum: The Condition of Labor Chapter 21 from A Letter Concerning Toleration Part 22 Part III: Ghandi: The Exemplar Chapter 23 Selections from writings Chapter 24 Gandhi for the 21st Century Part 25 Part IV: Overviews of Transformation: The Sacred, the Social, and the Political Chapter 26 The Struggle Between Two Voices of God in Torah Chapter 27 The Justice of Transcendence and the Transcendence of Justice Chapter 28 from Mysticism and Resistance Chapter 29 from Quar'an, Liberation, and Pluralism: An Islamic Perspective of Interreligious Solidarity Against Oppression Chapter 30 The Social Teachings of the Buddha Chapter 31 from Moral Man and Immoral Society Chapter 32 from Jesus of Nazareth/Christ of Faith: Foundations of a Reactive Christology Chapter 33 How Christians Become Socialists Chapter 34 Beyond the Enlightenment Mentalilty Part 35 Part V: "Justice, Justice ye shall pursue" Chapter 36 Letter from a Birmingham Jail Chapter 37 from Black Theology and Black Power Chapter 38 from A Theology of Liberation Chapter 39 Toward the Rights of the Poor: Human Rights in Liberation Theology Chapter 40 The Martyrs' Living Witness: A Call to Honor and Challenge Chapter 41 from Gaudium et Spes: Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World Chapter 42 from Economic Justice for All Chapter 43 Love is the Measure;

Johns Hopkins University Press On the Backroad to Heaven
Book SynopsisThis first comparative study sketches the differences as well as the common threads that bind these groups together.Trade ReviewThe authors give the general reader an excellent basic understanding of the beliefs and practices shared by all of these separatists while making the uniqueness of each group clear. One of the best single-volume works on this subject; highly recommended. Library Journal This look at the history, similarities and differences between four groups of Old Order faithful in North America-Hutterites, Mennonites, Amish and Brethren-is fascinating... A book that, in one volume, tackles history, sociology and future trends-and does it well. -- J. Brent Bill Christian Century A complex, sympathetic, and delightfully nuanced argument that perhaps only such a comparative perspective could produce. The groups in question are depicted not as 'cultural fossils' or 'modern day Luddites' but instead as committed Christians who have made rational choices to stem the tides of modernity that they perceive as destructive to their faith. -- Perry Bush American Historical Review The best effort so far in the task of comparing Old Order ethno-religious groups in North America. -- Steven D. Reschly Journal of American Ethnic History On the Backroad to Heaven is above all an intelligent and accessible introduction to contemporary Old Order communities... This would be a valuable text in many courses on contemporary Western Religion. -- Anna L. Peterson Religious Studies Review Kraybill and Bowman have jointly produced a rich volume that clearly lives up to the promise of their earlier work... [Their] discussion displays both wide accessibility and exemplary clarity and rigor... General readers will find this book stimulating and rewarding. -- Peter C. Blum Mennonite Quarterly Review The material on the Amish and Hutterites in Backroad is excellent, ranking with the best of the sizable amount of literature that is available on both groups. Kraybill and Bowman have provided more information on the Old Order Mennonites and Old German Baptist Brethren than one will find almost anywhere else. This book is recommended not only as an introduction to the four groups, but also as a fairly comprehensive guide to their beliefs and practices. -- Stephen Scott Ohio History 2003 As one has come to expect from books written by Don Kraybill and by Carl Desportes Bowman, the organization of On the Backroad to Heaven is logical and coherent. References to recent phenomena-such as the media frenzy surrounding the unfortunate drug case involving Amish youth-as well as the inclusion of the latest scholarship should make this a book that will appeal to academic and general readers alike. Donald F. Durnbaugh, Professor Emeritus, Bethany Theological Seminary, editor of The Brethren Encyclopedia This is a model ethnography of four pacifist, Christian sectarian groups... It is a bold attempt to bring together four significant 'old order' groups and, through comparitive analysis, create a typology of 'old order' society or, as the authors put it, 'to see Old Orderliness across a spectrum'... This is a perceptive and rigorous ethnographic study, well conceptualized and sensibly executed. -- Royden Loewen Great Plains Research 2003 On the Backroad to Heaven presents an accurate and very informative comparative picture of four Old Order groups in North America. -- David Rempel Smucker Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography 2003 The book speaks to classic sociological questions in its exploration of how these four groups [Amish, Hutterites, Mennonites, and Brethren] are constantly responding to changes in the surrounding Gesellschaft society... I highly recommend the book for its thorough coverage of Old Order history, values, beliefs, and lifestyles and for its interesting comparative focus. -- Daniel V. A. Olson Contemporary Sociology 2003 This work is insightful, informative, and so easy to read that I had a hard time putting it down! -- Ed Robbins Provident Book Finder A readily accessible and eminently readable introduction to a seemingly anachronistic world that remains vital in the twenty-first century. -- Timothy Miller Kansas History 2001Table of ContentsContents:Preface AcknowledgmentsCHAPTER ONE: The Old Road to Heaven CHAPTER TWO: The Hutterites CHAPTER THREE: The Mennonites CHAPTER FOUR: The Amish CHAPTER FIVE: The Brethren CHAPTER SIX: Common Convictions CHAPTER SEVEN: Four Roads to Heaven CHAPTER EIGHT: Preserving a Pilgrim People CHAPTER NINE: Ironies of a Postmodern JourneyNotes Selected References Index

Book SynopsisA chronicle of the emergence and development of religion as a field of intellectual inquiry, this volume is an extensive survey of world's fairs from the inaugural Great Exhibition in London to the Chicago Columbian Exposition and World's Parliament of Religions.Trade ReviewExhibiting Religion is authoritative and will eagerly be read by all those interested in the relationship between the concept of religion and the geopolitics of modernity. This book is significantly different from virtually all treatments of such events as the World's Parliament, since the norm among contemporary scholars is to celebrate it uncritically rather than thoroughly historicize it, as John Burris has very nicely done. - Russel T. McCutcheon, University of Alabama, author of Manufacturing Religion: The Discourse on Sui Generis Religion and the Politics of Nostalgia ""John Burris's perspective brings a mass of information into a new focus, which allows him to build a frequently compelling argument about the broad cultural role industrial and cultural exhibitions played in the second half of the nineteenth century in the West."" - Gary Ebersole, University of Missouri, Kansas City, author of Captured by Texts: Puritan to Postmodern Images of Indian CaptivityTable of ContentsInternational expositions in historical context; Britain's Great Exhibition - ideology materialized; social evolutionism and international expositions - a cultural history; exhibitionism, American style; exhibiting religion at Chicago's Columbian Exposition. Conclusion - a parliament for the world's religions?.

Liturgical Press Jesus in the Hands of Buddha
Trade Review"Lucien Miller, a married Catholic deacon and professor of Chinese studies, documents his experience of the person and teachings of Shigeto Vincent Oshida, a Japanese Zen teacher and Catholic priest. Miller translates in poignant detail the life and work of this no longer hidden spiritual master. Jesus in the Hands of Buddha presents boundary-crossing insights and practices at the core of cross-cultural spiritual living. He profoundly offers an experience of accessible guidance and consolation for world readers of all faiths living on the ropes."Jonathan Montaldo, author of Bridges to Contemplative Living with Thomas Merton"Oshida’s life and legacy is an experience of the spiritual senses knowing the mystical voice. Biblical in sources and Buddhist in form, reading this book took me as a reader to the great pause of silence."Sister Meg Funk, OSB, Our Lady of Grace Monastery, Beech Grove, Indiana"In this beautifully kaleidoscopic book, Lucien Miller reports on the life and legacy of Shigeto Oshida, OP, the Japanese Dominican friar whose vocation was to enact a Japanese and Buddhist way of being Catholic. Given that this book's luminous style reflects the very style of its subject-matter, any of its readers will be doubly rewarded indeed."Robert Magliola, PhD, Carmelite lay tertiary; affiliate, Istituto Vangelo and Zen, Milano, Italy; retired professor at Assumption University of Thailand and National Taiwan University"Shigeto Oshida's quest was to reveal the Christ indigenous to Japanese culture. Lucien Miller's generous account shows us how he did this by rooting himself in the eternal rhythms of mountainous, rural rice-farming Japan, practicing zazen, offering Mass in a simple thatched roof hut, and opening himself to whatever the moment might bring."David Hackett, professor emeritus of Religion, University of Florida"Shigeto Vincent Oshida was a saint, a mystic, a Christian visionary, and a model of an authentic appropriation of Buddhist and Christian truths that collectively lead to a new vision of discipleship. Lucien Miller takes us deeply into the life and heart of Fr. Oshida whose existence was utterly simple and yet filled with paradoxes. He was a hermit in community, a solitary among others. He desired nothing other than to disappear into the silence and bear witness to the 'Unborn Sphere,' all the while in complete service to the poor and those seeking his spiritual guidance. Miller’s book inspires and challenges us to see a new model of the Christian life no longer dominated by a 'Western' model, but one immersed in the spirit of Asia."Peter Feldmeier, professor of Catholic Studies, University of Toledo, Ohio "Combining poetry, personal memories, and recollections of a retreat, Lucien Miller presents a vivid and moving evocation of the late Japanese Dominican friar, Shigeto Vincent Oshida. Embodying values of both the Zen and the Catholic traditions in his spiritual journey, Oshida offered an inspiring and prayerful witness of simplicity, poverty, solitude, and concern for a world of suffering. This moving and loving portrait is highly recommended for all spiritual seekers."Leo D. Lefebure, past president of the Society for Buddhist-Christian Studies, and chair of theology, Georgetown University"This is an intriguing book. It is part memoir, part biography, part theological reflection, and part narrative."Catholic Books Review"Jesus in the Hands of Buddha is for any reader whose contemplative heart races in the mystical mundanity of simplicity and service."Contemplify"Jesus in the Hands of Buddha tells the story of Vincent Oshida, whose great sincerity, sense of humor and profound concern for the poor shine through in these pages and add an original angle on the wider phenomenon of the East-West/Buddhist-Christian encounter."Cistercian Studies QuarterlyTable of ContentsCONTENTS PRELUDE Jesus in the Hands of Buddha Sculpture ix FOREWORD by Timothy Radcliffe, OP xi INTRODUCTION xxi CHAPTER ONE A Buddhist Who Encountered Christ 1 CHAPTER TWO Hermit and Pilgrim 25 CHAPTER THREE Poet and Mystic 51 CHAPTER FOUR Sesshin Part One 69 CHAPTER FIVE Sesshin Part Two 121 EPILOGUE September Meeting, Last Days, Gleanings 163 POSTLUDE The Greatest Accomplishment 177 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 179 VITA 181 BIBLIOGRAPHY 189
