    Book SynopsisThe series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration of religions as social systems– both in Western and non-Western societies; in particular, it examines religions in their differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their construction of identity, and their relation to society and the wider public are key issues of this series.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisDubbed 'a heroic gate-crasher' by New York Times bestselling author Glennon Doyle, Brian McLaren explores reasons to leave or stay within the church and if so, how ...Do I Stay Christian? addresses in public the powerful question that surprising numbers of people - including pastors, priests and other religious leaders - are asking in private. Picking up where Brian's warmly received Faith After Doubt (2021) leaves off, Do I Stay Christian? is not McLaren's attempt to persuade Christians to dig in their heels or run for the exit. Instead, he combines his own experience with that of thousands of people who have confided in him over the years to help readers make a responsible, honest, ethical decision about their religious identity.There is a way to say both yes and no to the question of staying Christian, McLaren says, by shifting the focus from whether we stay Christian to how we stay human. If Do I Stay Christian? is the question you're asking - or if it's a question that someone you love is asking - this is the book you've been waiting for.'Brian's new book on remaining Christian knocks it out of the ballpark in terms of framing and naming the questions. I cannot stop reading it. Thank you, Brian!'Fr Richard Rohr, OFM, founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation, author of The Universal ChristTrade Review'be prepared to be deeply challenged and hugely encouraged' [Praise for FAITH AFTER DOUBT] * Christianity Magazine *'challenging, provocative, and, at times, uncomfortable read' [Praise for FAITH AFTER DOUBT] * Church Times *He finds himself in a spacious place where Christianity can be much more concerned with being generous than being doctrinally correct... 'Do I Stay Christian' invites the reader also to become a traveler...this is an important, engaging, life-affirming book. * Reform Magazine *

    Book SynopsisNastik chronicles the transformative journey of a modern Indian sceptic who initially embraced Western neo-atheism. It begins with the protagonist's disillusionment with religious dogma and his subsequent adoption of Western neo-atheism, characterized by a staunch denial of theism and a critique of religion's influence on society.As the narrative unfolds, he encounters the rich tapestry of Indian philosophy. He discovers the nuanced perspectives of nastik schools of thought in Indian tradition, such as Charvaka, Jainism and certain interpretations of Buddhism, which reject the authority of the Vedas and the existence of a creator god yet engage deeply with ethical and philosophical questions.His transformation into a nastik and Nirishvarwaadi is marked by an appreciation for the complexity of Eastern scepticism, which often intertwines with spiritual and moral considerations unlike the more direct and often materialistic scepticism prevalent in the West.

    Columbia University Press The Renewal of Buddhism in China Zhuhong and the

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisFirst published in 1981, Chün-fang Yü’s The Renewal of Buddhism in China challenged the conventional view that Buddhism had reached its height under the Tang dynasty (618–907) and steadily declined afterward. This fortieth anniversary edition features an updated introduction by the author speaking to the ongoing relevance of this classic work.Trade ReviewThe Renewal of Buddhism in China changed my understanding of Chinese Buddhism when it was first published forty years ago. It revealed, as it still does, that Buddhism is not just an idea but a social movement that has been shaped by real people working in the real world. A classic that is still a classic. -- Timothy Brook, author of Great State: China and the WorldIn demonstrating how domesticity assumed central place in the theology and practice of monk Zhuhong's syncretic Buddhism, Chün-fang Yü has shifted the ground of historical analysis once and for all. Although the word "gender" did not appear in these pages because it had yet to appear in common language, this germinal book is a classic in the history of women and gender of China. -- Dorothy Ko, author of Teachers of the Inner Chambers: Women and Culture in Seventeenth-Century ChinaWithout a doubt, this new edition of The Renewal of Buddhism in China is much needed. In 1981, the original book set a new standard in the field, and there still remains no single monograph on the figure of Zhuhong aside from this one. Chün-fang Yü’s work is still groundbreaking after forty years. -- Stephen F. Teiser, coeditor of Readings of the Platform SūtraForty years after its publication, Chün-fang Yü’s book on Chinese monk Zhuhong, presented here with a new introduction, has stood the test of time and become a classic in the field. Its lucid style, balanced coverage, and reasoned analysis not only serve a broad audience but also provide a model for studying any religious figure whose life and thought are as complicated and profound as Zhuhong’s. -- Jiang Wu, coeditor of Spreading Buddha’s Word in East Asia: The Formation and Transformation of the Chinese Buddhist CanonThe Renewal of Buddhism in China remains a crucial touchstone for all scholarship on post-Tang Buddhism. * Reading Religion *This volume is as relevant today as it was in 1981. * Religious Studies Review *Table of ContentsForeword by Daniel B.

    Book SynopsisTrade ReviewIn this genre-bending work of art, words and images morph in ways that free the reader's imagination to think and write differently. Mona Oraby, Emilie Flamme, and their ghostwriters create the kind of visionary experimentation and innovation that are sorely lacking, but very much needed both within and beyond the academy today. -- Mark C. Taylor, Columbia UniversityOraby and Flamme invite readers into an impressive, courageous, and innovative experiment in communicative arts, an interpretive work of political action, a wager at broader engagement for important ideas raised in expertly curated words and equally scintillating images. A Universe of Terms ushers into perceptible shape a series of interconnected propositions; it threads these together to create space for expansive imaginings. This hefty contribution is a brilliant object for study and thought. -- Sally M. Promey, Yale UniversityA Universe of Terms encourages readers to reconsider the conventions that have served to inform what we see and how we communicate the social sciences and humanities. And, in the process, it supports new and unconventional ways of thinking, communicating, and engaging.

  • Cotton Mathers Spanish Lessons

    Harvard University Press Cotton Mathers Spanish Lessons

    Book SynopsisIn 1699, Cotton Mather authored the first Spanish-language text in the English New World: a religious tract aimed at evangelizing readers across the Spanish Americas. Kirsten Silva Gruesz uses Mather's text to explore complex overlaps of race, ethnicity, and language in the early Americas, which continue to govern Latina/o/x belonging today.Trade ReviewIn her revolutionary new book,…Gruesz sets aside Mather the witch hunter to center him instead in a fascinating new story about race…It is Gruesz’s thrillingly literary focus on a single text—spinning out as much significance as she has convincingly shown it deserves—that makes her new consideration of him so rewarding. -- Joseph Rezek * Los Angeles Review of Books *A fascinating expedition into matters of race, language, and religion…That Gruesz can so convincingly link the miniscule actions of a late seventeenth-century printer in Boston with the huge contemporary issue of ethno-racial ambiguity in the US indicates the range and ambition of her book, fully achieved. -- Peter Hulme * American Literary History *As [Gruesz] revisits the life and writings of Mather especially as connected to his La Fe del Christiano, she illustrates that his significance went well beyond the basic religious world of New England, entangling him in the broader, imperial context of the early modern world. -- Richard Bailey * H-Net Reviews *A new narrative about race and ideas, as well as practices, of belonging, with deep and explicit implications for Latina/o/x history today…Gruesz’s ambitious and innovative book—both a macro history of language, ideas, and circulation and a micro history of Mather, his household, and his interactions with Native and Black people—should be widely read. -- Alejandra Dubcovsky * New England Quarterly *Extraordinary…In many ways [Gruesz] expands what the biography of a text can achieve and shows how many aims it can encompass…Every early Americanist, from any discipline, should certainly read the introduction. Most should read the book in full. All will find insightful material to spur further studies. [This book] contains important lessons for us all. -- Abram Van Engen * William & Mary Quarterly *Immersive and eye-opening…Meticulously researched and elegantly written, this is an essential reconsideration of the historical and contemporary place of the Spanish language and ‘Brown identity’ in the U.S. * Publishers Weekly *One of the most exciting and illuminating books I have read this century. Just when our nation’s institutions of historical memory are being called to account for their role in constructing entrenched systems of racialization, Gruesz reminds us that the political status of Latinx people in the United States remains profoundly unclear. Brilliantly combining historical, archival, and literary work, this book shows her to be a singular figure in American Studies today. -- Ramón Saldívar, author of The Borderlands of CultureA stunningly researched and original take on Cotton Mather. Kirsten Silva Gruesz replaces entrenched US origins stories with a transformative account of labor, race, and nation. In so doing, she locates English-speaking America in a series of richly hemispheric new contexts. -- Sarah Rivett, author of Unscripted AmericaKirsten Silva Gruesz has produced a magisterial study that fundamentally reimagines the complex relationship between colonial British North America and colonial Spanish America. Coupling extensive archival research with sensitive readings of multilingual texts, she traces not only the dialogue among criollo elites throughout the Americas, but also the deep imprints of Indigenous and African peoples on linguistic, religious, and material practices that continue to bear on our own lives today. -- John Morán González, author of Border RenaissanceA brilliant, essential, and moving book. In Cotton Mather’s Spanish Lessons, Kirsten Silva Gruesz offers her own enduring lessons on language, translation, and latinidad for a new generation of Americanists. -- Anna Brickhouse, author of The Unsettlement of AmericaThis dazzling book does so much at once. By humanizing the oft-maligned Cotton Mather, it restores the complexity of an important thinker, wrestling with global events at a pivotal moment for America’s identity and his own. In so doing, it also situates New England in a much wider Atlantic world filled with people speaking Spanish and many other languages. Cotton Mather’s Spanish Lessons deepens our history in every imaginable way. -- Ted Widmer, author of Lincoln on the Verge

But the pioneering Historical Atlas of Hasidism (Princeton) tells it spatially, through almost 100 illustrations and 74 large-format maps. Marcin Wodzinski presents the history of the emergence, rise and geographical spread of Hasidism, as well as the history of its destruction and revival in the New World. What’s revolutionary about this book is that by giving us a new, spatial perspective, it gets our minds to work in a different way from when we are simply reading. Studying the maps, we see history as a network of connections and mutual dependencies. It’s easy to spend hours exploring this fascinating book — and it’s impossible not to agree with the reviews that said a picture is worth a thousand words, while a map is worth a million."---Olga Tokarczuk, Financial Times"[A] valuable new resource that offers fresh insights into the history of this movement."---Barbara M. Bibel, ARBA Reviews"[A] seminal work no library or university can be without if serious about Jewish studies, geography, demography, and political science. . . . Historical Atlas is the quintessential book on the entirety of Hasidism and its adherents."---Dr. Harold Goldmeier, Life in Israel"Within minutes – which can easily become hours – the reader is drawn into the multidimensional reality of Hasidism."---Elli Fischer, Segula

    Book Synopsis‘When your grandpa was in hospital, he asked me one night to promise him that, when he had gone from us, I would teach you Islam – our Islam: the Islam I grew up with … In that dark, impersonal room, he was thinking of you.’ This is why one father began to teach his daughter night after night not only about his own religion, but about that which unites all believers, about God and death, about love and the infinity that surrounds us. This highly personal book is not only a magical literary masterpiece, but also a rich resource of knowledge, and this because Navid Kermani dares to venture into the darkness in order to give expression to our confusion. And because his way of talking, his openness, his knowledge which derives from his immersion in two cultures, are so unique, so light and so deep.Trade Review‘Navid Kermani’s Everyone, Wherever You Are, Come One Step Closer is a beautifully written meditation on the philosophical challenge all mortal beings must encounter. With the invariable passage of time, the particularities that inform each individual’s experience of and in the world – our feelings, dreams, hopes, disappointments, accomplishments and failures – are lost to the winds of change. We are surrounded by endlessness – that is, the sense of absolute nothingness that envelops our transient being. Capturing this existential challenge succinctly, the author writes, “Sooner or later each of us realizes with a chill that nothing of us will last. Then we begin to doubt: does life really go on somehow when a person dies, as our parents always said?” Kermani’s book is a timely and poetic reflection on how religion, in the end, addresses this question by establishing an intimate relationship with God, the infinite being that imparts enduring meaning to our finite existence. This is a work that is both deeply personal and fittingly universal.’Elliot R. Wolfson, University of California, Santa Barbara
