Icon Books Everyday Jews
Book SynopsisCan Jews be allowed to become boring?With Israel and antisemitism constantly in the news, it seems as though the Jewish people - a fraction of a percentage of the world's population - have become synonymous with controversy, drama and anxiety. But what if there was another side to this persistently interesting people; one that non-Jews often don't know about and Jews rarely talk about? This is the stuff of 'everyday' Jewishness; the capacity to be ordinary, mundane and sometimes just plain dull. Keith Kahn-Harris lifts the lid on this surprising world in a book for Jews and non-Jews alike. Arguing that his people's extraordinary public visibility today is harming their ability to live everyday Jewish lives, he celebrates the mundanity and mediocrity of a people before it vanishes completely.

Anthem Press Esotericism Mysticism and the Politics of
Book SynopsisThe seminal edited collection examines histories of esotericism, mysticism and occultism in modern Asia, understood here as the period roughly stretching from the late nineteenth through the twentieth century, and paving eventually the way for the so-called New Age'. The idea of histories', in plural, has to do with the complexities of their lineages, the many pathways through which their affinities, encounters and entanglements flowed and/or developed during the period under review.Contributors to the anthology hail from different disciplines history, literature, religious studies, philosophy and so forth and broach the subjects from the vantage points of their fields. Their studies bring to the forefront the need to transcend the neatly demarcated, and frequently overdrawn and binary, idioms of EastWest, colonizercolonized, or modernitytradition. By drawing upon case studies of individuals (esotericists/mystics/scholars), movements and/or networks (including but not restricted to Theosophy/Sufism/Sufis, for instance), and institutionalized academia (epistemologies of religion contra esotericism contra mysticism contra occultism, Eastern/Western/or otherwise), contributors to the edited collection bring out the many facets of these categories and processes in modern Asia. They examine how at times far from being counter-modern/peripheral/fringe escapist, these processes came to mark a less-explored side of modernity. Thus, systems of knowledge and frameworks conventionally rejected in triumphalist Enlightenment narratives often came up with their own understanding of modernity, humanity. They frequently endeavoured, through their politics of spirituality and transcendence, to lend voice to their critical commentaries on wider socio-political problems of the times. This edited collection examines esoteric, occult and mystical traditions and their politics of spirituality and transcendence in modern Asia against the larger backdrop of intra-Asian and global flows from a truly multi-disciplinary perspective.The anthology will be useful for postgraduate students, research scholars and academics in general, working in the fields of religious studies and/or Asian religions, history, and philosophy of Asian religions. In addition, even those broadly interested in encounters across cultures and religions will also find this collection to be of great value.

Christian Focus Publications Ltd New Testament Theology: A New Study of the
Book SynopsisJulius Scott has a passion for the New Testament but he thinks that most people read it without seeing half that is going on!He carefully unfolds 7 themes in the New Testament by answering these 7 questions.1. Who is Jesus?2. What must I do to be saved?3. How should a Christian live?4. What is the Church?5. What is the church's relation to society?6. How shall it end?7. What does the New Testament teach us about God?These are vital questions for all Christians, indeed the answers to them will inform and influence every aspect of our lives. Dr. Scott carefully brings together all the evidence from the New Testament to help us do just that.If you intend to look at the New Testament as a collection of unconnected writings, or if you have doubts about it's role in guiding your life, then take this opportunity to get yourself informed!Trade Review"This book is a labor of love—for the Scriptures, for readers, for learning, for teaching, and for God himself. The author takes up each topic in a wise, thorough, probing, and reverent manner. Readers will gain fresh insight into the history of New Testament times, the convictions of the biblical writers, and the implications of the age-old yet ever new Christian message for today. Readers will also glimpse the work of major New Testament scholars as their research has unfolded over recent decades. This is an excellent intermediate survey for college students, as well as for laypersons eager to move to new levels of biblical understanding." -- Robert W. Yarbrough, Trinity Evangelical Divinty School, Deerfield Illinois (Professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri)"Julius Scott's New Testament Themes is in fact a theology of the New Testament helpfully pitched at the level of the college student and general reader rather than the professional theologian and affords a detailed but readily readable and comprehensible topical exposition of New Testament teaching. Among its particular features I single out its careful treatment of the church's relation with and responsibility to society. Clearly and simply presented, it should attract a wide audience among Christians wanting a systematic guide to the main theological themes in the New Testament." -- I. Howard Marshall ((1934-2015) Emeritus Professor of New Testament, University of Aberdeen)

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Prophecy and Power: Violence and Islam II
Book SynopsisHeralded as the greatest living Arab poet, Syrian-born Adonis is also a staunch critic of violence and despotism in the Islamic world. In this book, he explores the nature of political power in Islam by focusing on the figure of the prophet Mohammed as both a political and a mythical leader. In conversation with Houria Abdelouahed, Adonis examines the Qur’anic intervention in establishing the prophet’s power, especially when the text is read based on faith and not reason. The authors discuss the historical developments before and after the prophet’s death, which established the power of the Caliph or the leader as absolute. The second part of the book examines the consequences of these developments in the Arab and Islamic world today, where this ‘tyrannical’ understanding of power continues to hold sway. The authors conclude with a call for secularism in the Arab world and a passionate plea for the separation of religion from the political, legal and social spheres.Trade Review“Nobody can hold a mirror up to the Arabs, Arab culture, and the Arab malaise with Adonis’s conscientious erudition and affection. An irreverent fearless iconoclast from his early years, Adonis the nonagenarian remains an unflinching visionary and reformer, and a passionate advocate for the Arabs. Prophecy and Power is in line with this Adonisian tradition of franc-parler. Powerful, deeply searching, premonitory, and devastatingly veridical, this latest of Adonis’s gems is a must-read for anyone concerned for the Arabs, their predicament, their twilight.”Franck Salameh, Boston College“Adonis is indefatigable in his deconstruction of religious orthodoxy. These uninhibited conversations with Houria Abdelouahed, expertly translated by Julie Rose, dramatize the disquietudes between faith and reason, all the while championing the spiritual vitality of Sufism.”Nouri Gana, University of California, Los Angeles

Wisdom Publications,U.S. Searching for the Self
Book SynopsisHis Holiness the Dalai Lama explores emptiness, one of the most central teachings in Buddhism, in the newest volume of the bestselling series The Library of Wisdom and Compassion.In Searching for the Self the Dalai Lama leads us to delve deeply into the topic of the ultimate nature of reality, presenting it from a variety of approaches while focusing on identifying our erroneous views and directing us to the actual mode of existence of all persons and phenomena. Placing our study of reality within the auspicious context of a compassionate motivation to benefit all sentient beings, the Dalai Lama explains why realizing emptiness is important and what qualities are needed to do that, and he evaluates various tenet systems’ perspectives on this vast topic. He then helps us understand our perceptions and the mental states involved in both our ignorant and accurate cognitions. He examines inherent existence and other fantasized ways of existence that we seek to disprove through reasoned analysis and presents the Middle Way view that abandons all extremes. The closing chapters by Thubten Chodron discuss the three characteristics of impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and not-self as explained in the Pali tradition and show how meditation on these can lead to the meditative breakthrough to realize nirvana. Engaging in this investigation with His Holiness will challenge our deepest-held beliefs and uproot false ways of viewing ourselves and the world that are so habitual we don’t even notice them. Get ready to be challenged and intrigued, for realizing the nature of reality has the power to cut our defilements at the root and free us from cyclic existence forever!
