Wild Goose Publications Around a Thin Place: An Iona Pilgrimage Guide
Book SynopsisFor centuries pilgrims have travelled to the isle of Iona in search of the sacred, inspired by the example of St Columba, a 6th-century Irish monk who founded a monastery there, and whose influence is felt to the present day. Many modern-day pilgrims and seekers are also drawn to the island through the work of the Iona Community, an ecumenical Christian community acting for justice and peace, the rebuilding of the common life and the renewal of worship. The Iona Community runs a weekly pilgrimage around the island for those who visit, pausing for reflection at places of spiritual and historical significance, and at less obvious landmarks which offer inspiration for our daily lives and our engagement with the wider world.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"This book is a must read for anyone interested in the Middle East’s present and who might be hopeful for the region’s future." * Middle East Journal *"Seeking to counter contemporary perceptions of the Middle East as a region riven by sectarian strife, Makdisi examines the ‘culture of coexistence’ which he believes prevailed in the Ottoman Empire and in the post-Ottoman Arab world, despite its religious diversity." * Survival: Global Politics and Strategy *"An outstanding study with insight about the agency of Arab intellectuals, thinkers and people at large who, despite twentieth-century local and global violence, persist in struggling for a better world.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Christianity and Confucianism
Book SynopsisChristopher Hancock (PhD) is former Dean of Bradford Cathedral, UK, and is Director of the Centre for the Study of Christianity in China, King's College, London, UKTrade ReviewAn extraordinary piece of scholarship. It contains and constitutes an entire curriculum for comparative cultural studies, Confucian Christian dialogue, ecumenical theology, besides which it is beautifully written and a great pleasure to read. I expect that it will a fundamental part of the curriculum in Sino-Christian study programs. * Richard Madsen, University of California San Diego, USA *Hancock’s prodigious study of the long and multifarious relationship between China and the West constructs a vivid image of how intellectual and religious exchange between cultures equivocates, evolves, and harmonizes. This work brings together an impressive panoply of voices, from Confucius to Derrida, to illustrate how the global trade of ideas, as he puts it, has produced “millennia of mutual formation and interaction.” This deeply researched and lively work shall be among the most important contributions to our understanding of Sino-Western exchange. * Anthony E. Clark, Professor of Chinese History & Edward B. Lindaman Endowed Chair, Whitworth University, USA *One of the ways we make sense of the present is through narration of the past. Telling the story of the complex dialogue between China's Confucian tradition and Christianity is mutually illuminating: it provides a deep, historic sense of rootedness to the form and order of contemporary East-West engagement. Christopher Hancock offers several fascinating historical cameos of Confucian-Christian dialogue that make this volume of value to readers inside and outside the Academy. * Yang Huilin, Renmin University, Beijing, China *Christopher Hancock offers us a uniquely accessible, scholarly and comprehensive consideration of the interaction between Confucianism and Christianity. He rightly stresses that the mutual influence of China and the West is old and complex, involving much convergence, while not losing the fascination of the different. His focus on a shared Christian-Confucian link of a virtue-ethic with a unified transcendence and on the primacy of peaceful harmony opens out a space of hope for our single global future. * Alasdair John Milbank, University of Nottingham, UK *The common pursuit of human wisdom and the borrowings and insights shared between China and the West over two millennium stand out vividly in Christopher Hancock’s masterful cultural history of Christianity and Confucianism. The range and depth of the work are remarkable. The ideas of the ‘founding fathers’ of their respective cultures are discussed authoritatively and sympathetically, as are the issues and dilemmas – including the self, society, meaning and the afterlife – that thinkers in both ‘camps’ have wrestled with over the centuries. Here is wisdom writ large, the fruit of a global exchange in ideas all too easily overlooked at a time of rivalry and mutual incomprehension between China and the West. Hancock has made a major contribution in the history of ideas as well as the comparative study of cultures. * Graham Hutchings, Associate, Oxford University China Centre, UK *A rich treasure store which shows in particular how Europeans at the dawn of the modern era began to engage with the world view which has done so much to shape the Chinese identity. * STEPHEN GREEN, BARON GREEN OF HURSTPIERPOINT, UK *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Abbreviations Acknowledgements Preface Introduction: Images, Issues and Impressionism 1.

A welcome addition to literature on interfaith work."—Deanna Ferree Womack, Scottish Journal of TheologyCHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2022“Thomas Albert Howard has the gift of writing history in a captivating way, with great erudition and mastery of sources. This is a truly impressive piece of scholarship.”—Catherine Cornille, Boston College"A wonderfully illuminating book that shows how faith has been a bridge of cooperation rather than a barrier of division across time and place. Highly recommended."—Eboo Patel, author of Out of Many Faiths: Religious Diversity and the American Promise“In an era overwhelmed by conflict, rage and hate, the brilliant historian Thomas Albert Howard shows us another side of ourselves: our extraordinary interest in the faith of others. Interreligious dialogue has become our defining theological concern today and Howard skillfully analyzes both its pitfalls and its potential for great contributions to a safer, peaceful world order.”—Susannah Heschel, Dartmouth College “In rich detail, Howard tells the history of interreligious conversations and initiatives, from the birth of Christianity to the present when, after 9/11, the number centers, journals, dialogues increased exponentially. Theologically astute, his critical assessment of it all is bracing but hopeful.”—James L. Heft, S.M., University of Southern California “Cleverly rooting historical turning points in key influential geographical centers, Thomas Albert Howard engagingly traces the essential junctures of the dynamic history of interreligious dialogue from its forerunning harbingers to the ‘booming heyday’ of the present.”—Hans Gustafson, University of St. Thomas, Minnesota

Tughra Books Devoted to the Truth
Book SynopsisFor decades, Fethullah Gülen spoke on religion together with science, addressed challenging issues on faith, and inspired a generation to promote education and dialogue around the world. Those who listened to him felt empowered by this engaging and learned man of religion. To the ruling establishment of Turkey, his native country, these activities were assumed to be crossing over the line, and they made sure he suffered the consequences, especially throughout the second decade of the twenty-first century. Gülen and the people he inspired were scapegoated for the failures and malfeasance of a corrupt regime which conducted a nationwide crackdown on affiliated schools, foundations, and media organizations, while hundreds of thousands of teachers, doctors, journalists, civil servants, and supporters affiliated with them were purged and incarcerated, especially in the aftermath of the “staged” coup attempt in July 2016. Devoted to the Truth is a series of essays Gülen wrote following this event. What transpires from this collection is a seasoned leader who is going through all the blood, sweat, and tears to keep his ship afloat, the crew and passengers safe and calm. When the world seems to be in darkness, we find Gülen calling out to his community that this “Eclipse” is over, and inspires them how to be “Travelers to the Light.” As he leads his followers on this journey, he teaches how they should hold themselves to account by “Facing the Self.” While feeling “Pity” for the perpetrators of all the persecution they are going through, Gülen shows the path on to how to “Heal” and take action “So Others May Live.”

He himself controls the literature and language of all three traditions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—and he appends an index of key Arabic terms used." —Journal of Ecumenical Studies"In his philosophically acute analyses, Burrell moves smoothly from tradition to tradition ... in order to show how in all three traditions one can discuss creation and freedom and why this discussion will be mutually enlightening and corrective." —The Journal of Religion"Among the most gratifying of Burrell's contributions here is his continuing insistence that we in our century take the relevant Jewish and Islamic sources and themes at least as seriously as Aquinas did in his." —Theological Studies

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) The Eucharistic Communion and the World
Book SynopsisJohn D. Zizioulas, Metropolitan of Pergamon, was previously Professor of Systematic Theology at the University of Glasgow and Visiting Professor at King's College, London. He is the author of Communion and Otherness (2006), and has been a major Orthodox contributor to modern ecumenical discussion. Luke Ben Tallon is Lecturer in Systematic Theology at Codrington College, BarbadosTrade Review‘The new book by the Metropolitan John Zizioulas offers a passionate and extremely accessible study on the meaning of the Holy Communion: its biblical foundations and its role in manifesting the Kingdom of Heaven. Few works have been able to underline so emphatically the importance of the Eucharist in understanding the Church, and of its mysterious nature and its dynamic relationship with the world. In its development of the cosmic dimension of the Eucharist, this book seems to be very current. It shows that the Eucharist implies a veritable ethos in how we relate to the environment, man being not a master, but on the contrary a "priest", called to offer reverently to God all of creation. In the context of the major ecological crisis bearing down upon the world today, this book makes a decisive contribution to Christians and beyond.' - M. Michel Stavrou, Institut de Théologie Orthodoxe Saint-Serge, France. -- M. Michel Stavrou‘The writings of Orthodox Metropolitan John Zizioulas on the Eucharist belong with the work of a number of theologians from various traditions who, over the past half-century, have been moving towards a convergent doctrine of the sacrament. Particularly gratifying is our author's emphasis on the ecclesiological, eschatological and cosmic dimensions of the celebration. It is to be hoped that the cumulative effect will be to bring the divided churches from what Zizioulas calls their mutual post-baptismal excommunication towards a "gathering in one place" when they may enact their ecclesial reunion in a common Eucharist.' - Geoffrey Wainwright, Duke Divinity School, USA. -- Geoffrey Wainwright‘Metropolitan John Zizioulas is unequivocally the most ecumenically influential Orthodox theologian since the revival of the Orthodox intellectual tradition in nineteenth-century Russia. This collection of Zizioulas's most important (and not easily accessible) essays on the Eucharist is absolutely necessary for a fuller understanding of the eucharistic logic of Zizioulas's "system." Luke Ben Tallon is to be commended for providing a resource that demonstrates how Zizioulas's trinitarian theology, relational ontology and theology of personhood are ultimately grounded in a eucharistic experience and vision of the world; thus, dispelling misinterpretations of Zizioulas as promoting either social trinitarianism, an episcopo-centric ecclesiology, a denigration of nature, or an ethic that lacks practical import. This book amplifies how being as communion is a eucharistic mode of existence in the world.' - Aristotle Papanikolaou, Fordham University, USA. -- Aristotle Papanikolaou... Luke Ben Tallon, who has translated two of the eight chapters and written a helpful introduction, should be congratulated for editing such an engaging volume. -- Theological Book Review, Volume 23, No.2Table of ContentsIntroduction; Chapter 1: The Biblical Dimensions of the Eucharist; Chapter 2: The Eucharist and the Kingdom of God; Chapter 3: Symbolism and Realism in Orthodox Worship; Chapter 4: The Ecclesiological Presuppositions of the Holy Eucharist; Chapter 5: Some Reflections on Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist; Chapter 6: The Eucharistic Vision of the World and Contemporary Anthropology; Chapter 7: Proprietors or Priests of Creation?; Chapter 8: Preserving God's Creation.

Liturgical Press Wisdom Has Built Her House Studies on the Figure of Sophia in the Bible
Book SynopsisStudies on the Figure of Sophia in the BibleTrade Review. . . a remarkable achievement.Bernadette Brooten, Brandeis UniversitySilvia Schroer's stunning work on Wisdom breaks new ground, with its challenge to move beyond traditional and Western ways of hearing, reading, and interpreting the biblical text. The work calls all people to ethical responsibility for the sake of all creation. Written with grace, illumined by insight, and meticulously researched, this text is thoroughly engaging. It takes into account the images of personified wisdom as they appear in both the First and Second Testaments. Schroer's work offers both the scholarly community and the general public a new and bold sense of great hope in the midst of the ongoing global struggle for solidarity: human beings with one another, and human beings with creation. Distinctly refreshing in its approach, depth, and breadth, this work needs to be a part of every scholarly conversation on Wisdom, and must be taken seriously by readers in general if transformation at its deepest level is to continue, and the reign of God celebrated.Along with Wisdom we come to know some of the wise women of the Bible, and we explore a place on which to stand firm in a critique of the kyriarchal domination that surrounds us in defiance of Wisdom's truth. This book is as charming and winsome as it is erudite - food for the spirit and tough arguments to strengthen the mind. Finally we have collected in one volume the fruits of Shroer's long engagement with this divine Presence. And we are all richer for that gift!Sharon H.
