Springer Nature Switzerland AG Reformation Reputations: The Power of the
Book SynopsisThis book highlights the pivotal roles of individuals in England’s complex sixteenth-century reformations. While many historians study broad themes, such as religious moderation, this volume is centred on the perspective that great changes are instigated not by themes, or ‘isms’, but rather by people – a point recently underlined in the 2017 quincentenary commemorations of Martin Luther’s protest in Germany. That sovereigns from Henry VIII to Elizabeth I largely drove religious policy in Tudor England is well known. Instead, the essays collected in this volume, inspired by the quincentenary and based upon original research, take a novel approach, emphasizing the agency of some of their most interesting subjects: Protestant and Roman Catholic, clerical and lay, men and women. With an introduction that establishes why the commemorative impulse was so powerful in this period and explores how reputations were constructed, perpetuated and manipulated, the authors of the nine succeeding chapters examine the reputations of three archbishops of Canterbury (Thomas Cranmer, Matthew Parker and John Whitgift), three pioneering bishops’ wives (Elizabeth Coverdale, Margaret Cranmer and Anne Hooper), two Roman Catholic martyrs (John Fisher and Thomas More), one evangelical martyr other than Cranmer (Anne Askew), two Jesuits (John Gerard and Robert Persons) and one author whose confessional identity remains contested (Anthony Munday). Partly biographical, though mainly historiographical, these essays offer refreshing new perspectives on why the selected figures are famed (or should be famed) and discuss what their reformation reputations tell us today.Trade Review“This appears to be the first book, featuring interdisciplinarity, dedicated to exploring the rich history of the Reformations by investigating the topic with reference to reputations. … This well-appointed volume features two dozen figures and tables, along with a twenty-six–page index. Each of the ten chapters is lavishly documented, and there are plenty of provocative suggestions for additional research. The editors and the publisher should be congratulated on a handsome volume that is certain to stimulate considerable discussion.” (Thomas A. Fudge, Journal of Religious History, Vol. 46 (2), June, 2022)“This wide-ranging volume opens with an expansive introductory chapter by the editors that, at 157 pages, is the length of a short book. … The introduction and the essays that follow offer valuable analyses of the ways in which the reputations of English Reformation figures were forged, reworked, and contested in shifting contexts, all the way down to the present day.” (Karl Gunther, Church History, Vol. 91 (1), March, 2022)“Each article and the splendid introduction are first-rate. … Women are not overlooked in the collection. Susan Wabuda reexamines Anne Askew, burned at the stake for heresy by King Henry VIII in 1546, and immortalized in Foxe’s Actes and Monuments. … In an especially intriguing contribution, Rachel Basch considers Margaret Cranmer, Anne Hooper, and Elizabeth Coverdale … .” (Thomas M. McCoog, S.J., Journal of Jesuit Studies, Vol. 9, 2022)“Crankshaw and Gross are writing neither Reformation history nor memory study. They are considering lives remembered across time. Noting that remembering required print, and that printed reputations could provoke printed responses, they provide a very useful table of autobiographical and biographical works through 1718. … This fine collection gives historians of religion much to ponder. As we watch the heroes of the English Reformation swing … we must ask what our parts are in this process of reputation building.” (Norm Jones, Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 73 (1), January, 2022)“Each of the essays in this volume offers new understandings of the men and women who shaped England’s religious politics in the sixteenth century. The volume as a whole is a timely reminder of the historical significance of ‘the power of individual agency’ … .” (Mary Morrissey, Renaissance and Reformation, Vol. 43 (4), 2021)Table of Contents1.

Springer International Publishing AG Islam in German East Africa, 1885–1918: A
Book SynopsisIn this rich and multi-layered deconstruction of German colonial engagement with Islam, Jörg Haustein shows how imperial agents in Germany’s largest colony wielded the knowledge category of Islam in a broad set of debates, ranging from race, language, and education to slavery, law, conflict, and war. These representations of ‘Mohammedanism’, often invoked for particular political ends, amounted to a serious misreading of Muslims in East Africa, with significant long-term effects. As the first in-depth account of the politics of Islam in German East Africa, the book makes an essential contribution to the history of religion in Tanzania before British rule. It also offers a template for re-reading the colonial archive in a manner that recovers Muslim agency beyond a European paradigm of religion. Table of Contents1.

De Gruyter Historia animae utilis de Barlaam et Ioasaph (spuria) II: Text und zehn Appendices
A long occidental tradition has regarded the Greek monastic romance Barlaam and Josaphat as the work of John Damascene, and the first critical edition of the work appears now in the corpus of his writings. In actual fact - as became apparent during the editing - it is a work from the late 10th century, and the author is almost certainly the Georgian Abbot Euthymios from Mount Athos. The story goes back to the life of Buddha and is about the son of an Indian king, who, after instruction by a devout ascetic, himself becomes a hermit; this Greek version is regarded as the most learned treatment of material which has gone through many world religions (Buddhism, Manichaeism, Islam, Judaism and Christianity).

De Gruyter Memoirs of the Rev. Samuel Pearce
Book SynopsisClearly modeled on Jonathan Edwards' life of David Brainerd, Andrew Fuller's memoir for his close friend Samuel Pearce was written out of the conviction that telling the stories of the lives of remarkable Christians is a means of grace for the church. This new critical edition of the memoir is based on the 1808 third edition and documents the way that Fuller modified the text after its original printing in 1800. A substantial introduction discusses the evangelical use of biography, sets the memoir in the context of Fuller's literary corpus, and provides an overview of Pearce's life, touching on areas not fully treated by Fuller.

De Gruyter Kritische Theologie: Paul Tillich in Frankfurt
Book Synopsis This volume examines the multifaceted origins of Paul Tillich’s “critical theology” during the Frankfurt years (1929-1933) from the perspectives of source and reception history. In this way, it provides a compelling picture of the rich interactions between Tillich and his academic environment as well as the spiritual situation at the University of Frankfurt just before the National Socialist takeover.

De Gruyter Transforming the Dead in Graeco-Roman Egypt: The
Book SynopsisThe belief that dead people could assume non-human forms is attested in Egyptian texts of all periods, from the Old Kingdom down to Graeco-Roman times. It was thought that assuming such forms enhanced their freedom of movement and access to nourishment in the afterlife, as well as allowing them to join the entourages of different deities and participate in their worship. Spells referring to or enabling the deceased’s transformations occur in the Pyramid Texts, the Coffin Texts, and the Book of the Dead. But it is not until the Graeco-Roman Period that we find entire compositions devoted to this theme. Two of the most important are P. Louvre N. 3122 and P. Berlin P. 3162, both written in hieratic and dating to the 1st century AD. Both texts have been known to Egyptologists for more than a century, but neither is currently available in an up-to-date comprehensive edition. This book provides such an edition, including high-resolution images of the manuscripts, hieroglyphic transcriptions, translations, descriptions of their material aspects, studies of their owners, their titles, and their families, reconstructions of their context of usage, analyses of their orthography and grammar, and detailed commentaries on their contents.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Führung im Denken und Handeln Gregors des Grossen
Book SynopsisGregor der Grosse (590-604) war sowohl ein geschickter Kirchenpolitiker als auch ein inspirierter Denker. Barbara Müller erschliesst den inneren Zusammenhang beider Bereiche unter dem Aspekt der Führung, indem sie sowohl Gregors literarische Werke als auch seine päpstliche Korrespondenz analysiert.Aus Gregors Schriften geht hervor, dass für ihn Kirchenleitung vor allem kluge Personalpolitik bedeutete. Obschon sein Ideal der Mönchsbischof nach östlichem Vorbild war, zeichneten sich in der Praxis seine Personalpolitik und seine Führungsmassnahmen durch eine erstaunliche Vielfalt aus. Durch die Berücksichtigung verschiedenster Schriften und aufgrund des konsequent chronologischen Vorgehens lassen sich im führungsbezogenen Denken und Handeln Gregors sowohl Entwicklungen als auch Divergenzen feststellen. Der umfassende Zugang durchbricht die in der Gregor-Forschung verbreitete Tendenz, das Denken und das kirchenpolitische Handeln Gregors je gesondert voneinander zu beleuchten.Die Studie geht auch auf bislang wenig Beachtetes ein, wie beispielsweise Gregors Andreaskloster in Rom, das als ein Hort der kirchlichen Reform identifiziert wird, oder seine östliche Prägung aufgrund seines langjährigen Aufenthaltes in Konstantinopel. Barbara Müller analysiert seine Korrespondenz und zeigt einen anfänglich zerrissenen Mönch, der schliesslich zu einem quasi-mystischen Verständnis von Führung und Kirchenpolitik fand.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Theologie des Lobens in sumerischen Hymnen: Zur
Book SynopsisDie sumerische Literatur des 3. und 2. Jahrtausends v.u.Z. bietet auch zahlreiche hymnische Texte, die überwiegend der kultischen Tradition entstammen. Sie feiern Macht, Ansehen und Fürsorge von Gottheiten, Königen, Tempeln, usw. Erhard S. Gerstenberger analysiert, ausgehend von dem formelhaften, archaischen Heilsruf: "[Name] sei Preis!" = "[dGN] zà-mí" (vergleichbar dem biblischen "Halleluja"), die mannigfachen Aussagen des Lobpreisens (zà-mí). Er zeigt, dass es im sumerischen Lob nicht nur um die untertänige, pflichtgemäße Anerkennung von Übermächten geht, sondern um eine effektive Kraftübertragung von Seiten der Lobenden auf die Rezipienten der Huldigung. Stärkendes oder Existenz begründendes Lob kann also nicht nur von Machtträgern ausgehen. Auch das Geschöpf Mensch nimmt am Welt gestaltenden, erhaltenden, heilsamen Preisen teil, vor allem durch Bitten und Loben. Es übernimmt damit seine Verantwortung inmitten der geheimnisvollen Interaktionen aller kosmischen Wirkkräfte personhafter sowie unpersönlicher Art.

Leuven University Press The Economics of Providence: Management, Finances and Patrimony of Religious Orders and Congregations in Europe, 1773–ca. 1930
Book SynopsisThe wealth and patrimony of religious institutesDuring the French Revolution almost all monasteries and abbeys were suppressed and their possessions seized. Yet after the French Revolution many religious institutes were very successful in re-establishing themselves, sometimes accumulating large patrimonies, against the background of often hostile political forces.This book deals with the question of how the religious orders and congregations rebuilt their patrimony, a necessary prerequisite for the growth of the number of religious, educational and charitable services.The authors discuss the (real or supposed) wealth, the financial structures, and the management and juridical foundations of the orders and congregations in Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Ireland, and the United Kingdom from the late eighteenth century to the 1930s.This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).ContributorsB.

Trade ReviewIn veel landen verloren kloosterordes en congregaties tijdens de late achttiende en vroege negentiende eeuw al hun bezittingen, al dan niet als gevolg van Verlichting en Franse Revolutie. Deze bundel vraagt zich af hoe kerkelijke instellingen zich van die aderlating herstelden en betreedt daarmee een belangwekkend, maar weinig gekend terrein, namelijk de economische geschiedenis van ordes en congregaties. Van Dijck en De Maeyer leiden de problematiek in, waarna veertien auteurs bijdragen leveren over liefst acht Europese landen.BMGN - LCHR, Vol 128 (2013) The individual essays testify to the specific expertise of their authors (who provide very useful and rich bibliographies at the end of each chapter), and they achieve what is often lacking from an edited collection: a sense of unity. Taken as a whole, they paint a detailed picture of religious Orders and Congregations which, phoenix-like, managed to rebuild themselves from the ashes of their near destruction; these stories of economic and social success are all the more edifying since they emerge from a context of heightened state anticlericalism and legal impediments.Laurence Lux-Sterritt, Aix-Marseille Université, Recusant History 32, 1 (May 2014)De grande qualité et soigneusement édité, l'ouvrage sous recension porte à la connaissance du public le produit de recherches récentes et novatrices.

Rupa Publications India Pvt Ltd. Courting Hindustan: The Consuming Passions of Iconic Women Performers of India
Book SynopsisIn ancient India, women competed to win the title of Nagarvadhu, quiteiterally the town''s consort. For certain temple worship (Agamas), dance and music were necessary ingredients. The women artists dedicated to the worshipDevadasis and Maharishad a high rank and dignity in society. Tawaifs were central to Mughal court culture from the sixteenth century. It is also believed that young heirs were sent to courtesans toearn tameez'' and tehzeeb'', including the appreciation of good music anditerature. Courting Hindustan is a deeply researched, elegantly crafted portrait of some of the most intriguing women figures practising traditional Indian entertainment art forms such as, music, dance and poetry. It relives 2,500 golden years of women being elite traditional performers and how, over the centuries, they have captured the imagination of the country and the world atarge, their art and lives being a complex response to social forces and cultural conditions. Courting Hindustan delves into the scintillating world of courtesans who went on to become empresses, queens, prima donnas, pioneer filmmakers, music directors, ace dancers and so much more. Many of them went on to rule kingdoms, enjoyed positions of great power; many were venerated by governments and yet theyived on the fringes of society. In many ways, these were women, first of their kind, to survive an entrenched patriarchal society and break the chains imposed on them, paving the way for generations of women to come and conquer.

Leuven University Press The Survival of the Jesuits in the Low Countries,
Book SynopsisHow the Jesuits re-emerged after forty years of suppressionIn 1773, Pope Clement XIV suppressed the Society of Jesus. For the 823 Jesuits living in the Low Countries, it meant the end of their institutional religious life. In the Austrian Netherlands, the Jesuits were put under strict surveillance, but in the Dutch Republic they were able to continue their missionary work. It is this regional contrast and the opportunities it offered for the Order to survive that make the Low Countries an exceptional and interesting case in Jesuit history.Just as in White Russia, former Jesuits and new Jesuits in the Low Countries prepared for the restoration of the Order, with the help of other religious, priests, and lay benefactors. In 1814, eight days before the restoration of the Society by Pope Pius VII, the novitiate near Ghent opened with eleven candidates from all over the United Netherlands. Barely twenty years later, the Order in the Low Countries – by then counting one hundred members – formed an independent Belgian Province. A separate Dutch Province followed in 1850. Obviously, the reestablishment, with new churches and new colleges, carried a heavy survival burden: in the face of their old enemies and the black legends they revived, the Jesuits had to retrieve their true identity, which had been suppressed for forty years.Contributors: Peter van Dael, SJ (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam & Pontifical Gregorian University Rome), Pierre Antoine Fabre (École des hautes études en sciences sociales Paris), Joep van Gennip (Tilburg School of Catholic Theology), Michel Hermans, SJ (University of Namur), Marek Inglot, SJ (Pontifical Gregorian University Rome), Frank Judo (lawyer Brussels), Leo Kenis (KU Leuven) Marc Lindeijer, SJ (Bollandist Society Brussels), Jo Luyten (KADOC-KU Leuven), Kristien Suenens (KADOC-KU Leuven), Vincent Verbrugge (historian)This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).Trade Review“The Survival of the Jesuits in the Low Countries, 1773-1850, Edited by Leo Kenis and Marc Lindeijer”, alweer een heel interessante, Engelstalige uitgave van Leuven University Press.

Amsterdam University Press The Celestine Monks of France, c.1350-1450:
Book SynopsisThe Celestine monks of France represent one of the least studied monastic reform movements of the late Middle Ages, and yet also one of the most culturally impactful. Their order - an austere Italian Benedictine reform of the late thirteenth century, which came to be known after the papal name (Celestine V) of its founder (Pietro da Morrone / St Peter Celestine) - arrived in France in 1300. After a period of limited growth, they flourished in the region from c.1350: they added thirteen new houses over the next hundred years, taking their total to seventeen by 1450. Not only did the French Celestines expand in this century, they gained a distinctive character that separated them from their Italian brothers. More urban, better connected with both aristocratic and bourgeois society, and yet still rigorous and reformist, they characterised themselves as the 'Observant' wing of their order, having gained self-government for their provincial congregation in 1380 following the arrival of the Great Western Schism (1378-1417). But, as Robert L.J. Shaw argues, their importance runs beyond monastic reform: the late medieval French Celestines are a mirror of the political, intellectual, and Christian reform culture of their place and time. Within a France torn by war and a Church divided by schism, the French Celestines represented hope for renewal, influencing royal presentation, lay religion, and some of the leading French intellectuals of the period, including Jean Gerson.Trade Review"This is a concise monograph on the development in the French territories of the late medieval Benedictine reform congregation known as the Celestines. [...] The great merit of this study is the way it weaves the French Celestine experience into the tapestry of the French religious and political world."- Bert Roest, Radboud University Nijmegen, Speculum 96/3 (July 2021) "This book is an important contribution to the study of Observant reform, especially as a case study that cogently highlights the diversity that characterized reform’s many inflections.

Academic Studies Press The Jewish Intellectual Tradition: A History of
Book SynopsisThe Jewish intellectual tradition has a long and complex history that has resulted in significant and influential works of scholarship. In this book, the authors suggest that there is a series of common principles that can be extracted from the Jewish intellectual tradition that have broad, even life-changing, implications for individual and societal achievement. These principles include respect for tradition while encouraging independent, often disruptive thinking; a precise system of logical reasoning in pursuit of the truth; universal education continuing through adulthood; and living a purposeful life. The main objective of this book is to understand the historical development of these principles and to demonstrate how applying them judiciously can lead to greater intellectual productivity, a more fulfilling existence, and a more advanced society.Trade Review“The book, situated between academic and creative writing, presents an innovative view of the history and impact of Jewish intellectualism. It does this by allowing readers to immerse themselves in the book and manuscript collections of five influential thinkers, rabbis, and scholars… Discussions of their collections are supplemented by immersive, fictionalized descriptions of their intellectual endeavors and those of other Jewish thinkers, offering insights into what they might have thought, dreamed, and pondered. This novel way of approaching intellectual history adds greatly to the reading experience. The combination of fictionalized prose and historical description provides a well-rounded overview of the individuals’ work and the surrounding cultures and literatures from which they drew inspiration and knowledge. … With The Jewish Intellectual Tradition, Kadish, Shmidman, and Fishbane have published an insightful and impressive book, approaching Jewish intellectual history from exciting new vantage points. By looking at book history and the history of select Jewish libraries across time and cultures, they provide readers with new perspectives on the Jewish history of knowledge.”— Katharina Hadassah Wendl, Reading Religion"Jewish intellectual tradition has produced unprecedented achievements and contributions to Jewish and non-Jewish culture throughout millennia. This rich and thoughtful book identifies the key principles inherent in this tradition and seeks to 'demonstrate how applying them judiciously' can benefit society at large… The authors exquisitely cover two thousand years of scholarship and achievement in multiple genres and fields."—Diane Mizrachi, Charles E. Young Research Library, University of California Los Angeles, AJL Reviews (September / October 2021)"In this highly engaging and innovative work, [Kadish, Shmidman, Fishbane] try to identify what it is from the Jewish intellectual tradition that can be used for the betterment of people and society as a whole. The authors have isolated these principles, namely: respect for tradition while encouraging independent thinking; a precise system of logical reasoning in pursuit of the truth; and a universal and never-ending education. The book shows how these principles are fundamental to intellectual productivity, leading to making a better society. And the proof is in the Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals… The three authors, all scholars in their own right, have detailed this amazing intellectual tradition that should be a source of immense pride not to just every Jew but to every human being.”— Ben Rothke, Jewish Press“From tenured professorships to nobel prizes, Jews have excelled in all manor of scholarship. Many authors have explored where this dedication to learning comes from—The Jewish Intellectual Tradition: A History of Learning and Achievement by Alan Kadish, Michael Shmidman, and Simcha Fishbane is another important voice in the conversation. … The three authors present the information thoughtfully, building a robust bookshelf before their readers’ eyes. The book serves as a helpful teaching tool because of its shortened explanations of mystical texts, and early modern trends—like the birth of Reform Judaism—that educators may find useful. As a whole, it’s a helpful introduction, not only to Jewish thought, but to Jewish history and literature.”—Rabbi Marc Katz, Jewish Book Council“One of the most impressive aspects of the book is the breadth of the authors’ knowledge, which, of course, matches the wide scope of the topic they are writing about. They draw from a vast range of sources—from classical texts to contemporary academic research—to provide a comprehensive overview of the Jewish intellectual tradition. At the same time, they write with precision, clarity and passion; thus, making the material accessible to readers of all levels of expertise. …[T]his book is an outstanding contribution to the field of Jewish studies, and a must-read for anyone interested in the Jewish intellectual tradition at large. Its insightful and engaging exploration of the ways in which Jewish thought has shaped Western civilization is sure to leave a lasting impression on readers for years to come.”—Rabbi Reuven Chaim Klein, The Jewish LinkTable of Contents Preface Introduction Part One.

Academic Studies Press Memoirs of a Jewish Prisoner of the Gulag
Book SynopsisZvi Preigerzon wrote memoirs about his time in the Gulag in 1958, long before Solzhenitsyn and without any knowledge of the other publications on this subject. It was one of the first eyewitness accounts of the harsh reality of Soviet Gulags. Even after the death of Stalin, when the whole Gulag system was largely disbanded, writing about them could be regarded as an act of heroism. Preigerzon attempted to document and analyze his own prison camp experience and portray the Jewish prisoners he encountered in forced labor camps. Among these people, we meet scientists, engineers, famous Jewish writers and poets, young Zionists, a devoted religious man, a horse wagon driver, a Jewish singer of folk songs, and many, many others. As Preigerzon put it, “Each one had his own story, his own soul, and his own tragedy.”Trade Review“This memoir, covering the author’s years in and out of labor and prison camps up to his release in 1955, describes the oppressive network of the Gulag; its social hierarchies, whose prisoners ranged from hardened criminals to Party members; and his relationships with Jews of every stripe, from former student radicals to Lubavitcher Chassidim… [T]he author’s heartfelt style shines through. His love of heritage is expressed in modern Hebrew language and literature, and his straightforward prose shows a certain innocence, as well as acceptance of the society around him. … [A] fascinatingly human glimpse into a world perceived as soulless, as well as testament to a painful Russian legacy…”— Hallie Cantor, AJL News & Reviews“Few of the millions of men and women who survived the Gulag were able to leave a record of what they had witnessed and endured. Such memoirs are a testament to the writer’s courage as well as an invaluable source on one of the great horrors of the twentieth century. Arrested on a trumped-up charge in 1949, Zvi Preigerzon, a respected professor of mineralogy and a published Hebrew writer and poet, was tortured by the secret police and subsequently spent several years in some of the most terrible camps in the Soviet penal system until his release after the death of the dictator Stalin. Preigerzon’s reminiscences, composed in spare but highly descriptive prose and beautifully translated by his grandson, contain moving descriptions of the author’s struggle to retain his religious and professional identity under the most brutal of circumstances. Vivid portraits of the people, good, evil, and fair-to-middling, he met behind the barbed wire and stories of covert and overt acts of resistance by the author and his fellow prisoners round off this epic account of how one man’s spirit triumphed over rampant, pervasive ideological evil.”— Richard Tempest, Professor, Department of Slavic Languages, University of IllinoisTable of ContentsIntroductionAuthor’s ForewordPart 1.

Book SynopsisThis book brings together six articles the author has published in recent years on the development of the Orthodox Jewish community in Cleveland, Ohio. While a number of scholars have ably presented important parts of the history of Jewish Orthodoxy in Cleveland, Ohio, this book is a first attempt to deal comprehensively with the story of Cleveland Orthodox Judaism. Chapters one and two, taken together, present a connected narrative history of the evolution of the Jewish Orthodox community in Cleveland, Ohio from its beginnings to the early twenty-first century. The succeeding chapters present in greater detail persons and institutions of great importance to the historical development of the Orthodox community.Trade Review“[T]his deeper dive into this community gives us a picture of not just Orthodox Judaism, but American Judaism as a whole.”— Andrew Lillien, AJL News & Reviews“The Cleveland Orthodox community is privileged that Professor Ira Robinson brought his abundant talents as a researcher, comfortable with multiple Jewish languages, and willing to wade through dusty archival documents and synagogue records that were ignored by others to bring to life the development over a century of an intriguing Jewish group. In focusing on a mid-size Jewish community—whose story is very different from that of Orthodoxy’s New York epicenter—the field of American Jewish history is privileged by an outstanding work that broadens the geographical scope of our discipline. Scholars will embrace his important labors. General audiences will find that his accessible prose makes for enjoyable reading.”— Jeffrey Gurock, Libby M. Klaperman Professor of Jewish History, Yeshiva University“With precision and perspicaciousness, Dr. Ira Robinson has produced a case study of Orthodox Judaism in Cleveland that’s much more than a local history. In Cleveland, Ohio, Robinson has found a dynamic religious history that deepens our understanding of migration; denominational fluidity and rigidity; and the role of rabbinic authority in dictating the contours of religious change in the United States. This book is a model for how to negotiate the ‘micro’ and the ‘macro’ of Jewish history, full of new material and ideas that will engage scholars and all interested readers.”— Zev Eleff, President of Gratz College and Professor of American Jewish History“Scholarly interest in North American Orthodox Judaism has grown considerably in the past few decades and Ira Robinson has made a seminal contribution to this field. His work, which is predicated on deep erudition and meticulous archival research, stands out for introducing figures and local communities outside the massive concentrations in the greater New York region to the overall story. Indeed, in his examination of the trajectory of Cleveland Orthodoxy, not only does he bring to light fascinating episodes and personalities, each chapter offers a point of departure for identifying how this smaller but significant collective colors the broader narrative of the dynamic and increasingly influential Orthodox religious stream.”— Adam S.

Academic Studies Press The 7 Deadly Myths: Antisemitism from the time of
Book Synopsis“With clarity and penetrating insight, Alex Ryvchin unravels the mystery of antisemitism… Mandatory reading for anyone concerned with the ethical fate of the human race.” ― Isaac Herzog, President of the State of IsraelThe 7 Deadly Myths traces antisemitism from its earliest origins to the present day and uncovers the dangerous conspiracy theories that have corrupted reasoning and led people and nations to diabolical acts. Exploring some of the most significant events in history and uncovering little-known villains, this book answers the questions of how antisemitism takes hold, how it is transmitted and how it inspires violence to the present day. Written in a clear and compelling style, this book is essential to understanding why this ancient hatred continues to plague society, inspiring pop stars, athletes and demagogues alike. It is a crucial resource for policy makers, students and the reading public seeking to understand racism and how it can be stopped.Trade Review“With clarity and penetrating insight, Alex Ryvchin unravels the mystery of antisemitism, distilling the roots of this most tenacious and pernicious conspiracy theory into seven fundamental myths. By shifting emphasis from the ‘why’ of this puzzling and dangerous phenomenon to the ‘how’ of the mechanics of its transmission, Ryvchin points to the possibility of actually confronting and diffusing it. This highly intelligent and well-written work should be on the mandatory reading list of anyone seeking to understand the age-old phenomenon of antisemitism, but moreso, of anyone concerned with the ethical fate of the human race.”— His Excellency Isaac Herzog, President of the State of Israel“[A] congenitally optimistic (or maybe just stubborn) Soviet-born Australian Jew has taken up the challenge of confronting this ever-present, baseless hatred. Endowed with both talent and passion, Alex Ryvchin… is well suited for the task. … With an easy, entertaining style devoid of ponderous didactics, his footnotes unintrusive, he fits a plethora of information into improbably few pages. Indeed, Ryvchin does a remarkable job of getting straight to the core, and he is truly masterful in unmasking the nonsensical prejudices without excessive rhetoric. … Intended as a resource for students, educators, and policymakers, this page-turner contains fascinating accounts of conspiracy theories, stunning in their absurdity. If calling the monstrous lies ‘myths’ seems overly generous, it does set the right tone for Ryvchin’s appeal to reason. … Only by exposing myths and lies is there any hope of healing, and the future of the Jewish people may become more tranquil. History has yet to prove whether this can occur, but miracles have been known to happen and may do so again.”— Juliana Geran Pilon, Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs“A smart, concise, and very up-to-date guide to the world’s oldest hatred.”— David Baddiel, author of Jews Don’t Count“Ryvchin is an invaluable resource in his knowledge of our challenges and what needs to be done to address them, as well as in his stalwart commitment to the future of Jewish community life. His book is clear, persuasive, and a pleasure to read. Ryvchin takes a complex and ancient hatred and shows us where it comes from, how it changes, and how it remains the same. Essential reading for educators, policy makers and anyone seeking to grapple with the dangerous rise in conspiracy theories and Jew hatred.”— Ronald S. Lauder, President, World Jewish Congress“Alex Ryvchin has made a significant contribution to the field of antisemitism studies. In a very readable narrative, he uses seven of the most powerful stereotypes about Jews to encompass the history of Jew hatred and in doing so lends perspective to what’s happening now. At this moment in history when antisemitism has found new life around the world, this is a timely and important work.”— Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO and National Director“Carefully researched and graphically expressed, Alex Ryvchin's The 7 Deadly Myths systematically demolishes those antisemitic tropes, deeply embedded in Western culture, that are once again surfacing with potentially deadly implications. A trenchant warning of the sort that was all too easily ignored in Germany in 1933.”— Victor Lieberman, Raoul Wallenberg Distinguished University Professor of History, University of Michigan“Hostility to Jews and Judaism dates back over centuries. In succinct, well-informed, and lucidly composed chapters, Alex Ryvchin focuses on seven of the most persistent and deadly myths that fuel such animosity. Readers interested in a brief but illuminating explanation of many of the causative factors behind antisemitism will benefit from Mr. Ryvchin’s vividly drawn presentation of age-old anti-Jewish stereotypes. For all of their irrationality, they hang on threateningly to this day.”— Alvin H. Rosenfeld, Professor of English and Jewish Studies and Irving M. Glazer Chair in Jewish Studies, Indiana University"Antisemitism is the oldest, longest, most enduring, toxic and lethal of hatreds. Alex Ryvchin wrote a timely and significant work which unmasks and exposes the deadly myths that have bred, nurtured and advanced with metastasizing hatred. An essential read for the understanding of traditional and contemporary antisemitism, and the moral imperative to combat it as a threat to our common humanity."— Irwin Cotler, Founder & International Chair, Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human RightsTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroductionMyth 1—The Blood LibelMyth 2—Christ-KillersMyth 3—Global DominationMyth 4—ChosenMyth 5—MoneyMyth 6—Dual LoyaltiesMyth 7—Oppressed to OppressorsEpilogue

Book SynopsisEmet le-Ya‘akov comprises a collection of essays celebrating the career and achievements of Rabbi Dr. Jacob J. Schacter, who has served the American and international Jewish community with distinction in his roles as a synagogue rabbi, university professor, and public intellectual. These articles, like the honoree, recognize the importance of both history and memory, emphasize the necessity of accuracy in historiography, and do not shy away from inconvenient truths. They are divided into three categories that help frame the discussion around “facing the truths of history”: Textual Traditions, Memory and Making of Meaning, and (Re)Creating a Usable Past.

University of Notre Dame Press Óscar Romeros Theological Vision
Book SynopsisColón-Emeric explores the life and theological vision of Archbishop and Saint Óscar Romero, one of the founders of liberation theology, which interprets Scripture through the plight of the poor.Trade Review"Colón-Emeric is at the leading edge of both the best scholarship and the best pedagogy for grasping the entirety of Romero's witness. Colón-Emeric situates this liturgically driven vision of theology within the specificity of the celebration and the martyrdom in San Salvador. This particularizing and localizing of the theme makes this book even more universal and engaging. Everyone in the English-speaking world who is writing and thinking about the witness of Romero will need to read this book and will benefit greatly from that reading." —Peter Casarella, University of Notre Dame"In an engaging and convincing way, the case is made that in Saint Óscar Romero we have a pastor and a martyr, but also something much more, a father of the church, who gives us a new, rich, and challenging way to speak about God in our time." —Today's American Catholic“In one of the first books to investigate Romero’s theology, Edgardo Colón-Emeric examines Romero’s life and theological vision, which finds its focus in the mystery of the transfiguration… The hope for this study is that scholars in the fields of theology, religious studies, and Latin American studies will be captivated by the doctrine of this humble pastor and inspired to think more clearly and more decisively in solidarity with the poor.” —Duke Divinity“Oscar Romero’s Theological Vision . . . dissect[s] the saint’s words to understand how his thoughts fit into the broader context of Catholic theology.” —CatholicPhilly.com"Edgardo Colón-Emeric’s excellent book deserves its place within the new generation of Monsignor Óscar Romero studies. Instead of offering another biographical account of Romero’s life, this monograph skillfully examines the contribution and legacy of Romero’s theological vision. Colón-Emeric approaches both the traditional wellspring of Romero’s theology and the oppressed reality that shaped his prophetic voice. One of the great strengths of the book is Colón-Emeric’s careful consideration of Romero’s homilies as a main source of new theological riches and insights. This well-written and carefully researched book is a must-read for all who are interested in Latin American theology and the vision of its saints." —Ernesto Valiente, Boston College School of Theology and Ministry"Though the life and tragic murder of St. Óscar Romero have garnered much attention, his theology needs further exploration. Edgardo Colón-Emeric’s fine study brings out the richness of Romero’s thinking on themes such as Christ, salvation, the church, and Christian hope. Richly connecting this contemporary martyr and saint to the ancient richness of Christian theology, Colón-Emeric’s book demonstrates how Romero's courageous defense of human rights sprang from a powerful theology of transfiguration." —Michael Lee, Fordham University“Throughout this remarkable book, the author takes us ever deeper into the theological development of the martyr bishop Saint Óscar Romero.” —The Tablet“The project is ambitious: synthesize the homiletic output of the saint, contextualize it in the crucible of El Salvador’s suffering poor, and lift out the theological insights that are important new contributions in the advancement of the Gospel. At every stroke, the author gets it right, and the poetic form it often takes makes this an indispensable addition to the growing study of Romero’s thought.” —Catholic Library World
