Pennsylvania State University Press Radicals in Exile
Book SynopsisExamines how English Catholic exiles in Spain used print and other written media to promote the conquest of England and the spiritual renewal of Christendom. Trade Review“Domínguez has provided a focused, informed, and lively account of the publishing activities of Elizabethan English Catholic exiles—and through these activities the exiles’ deep involvement in Spanish political-ecclesiastical culture—during a critical moment in the history of Anglo-Spanish politics.”—Daniel Knapper Reformation“Domínguez makes a clear and forceful argument for the impact of Spanish Elizabethan authors on Spanish politics during the final decades of Philip II’s reign. Yet this book achieves something even more significant for those of us looking to the future of early modern studies. It demonstrates the benefits of transnationalism in furthering our understanding of Europe’s religious and political environment.”—Kelsey J. Ihinger Bulletin of the Comediantes“Scholarship on English Catholicism has started to take greater account of its broadly European and international dimensions, and Domínguez makes an important contribution to this line of scholarship. Radicals in Exile presents a convincing case for the central role of English Catholics in late sixteenth-century Spanish and wider European politics. It casts new light on English Catholics’ links with Spain, and future scholarship will no doubt expand on these links, looking at connections beyond the printed word.”—Jonathan Roche Journal of British Studies“Freddy Domínguez’s important book expands our knowledge of English and Spanish Catholic print culture beyond immediate confessional considerations to illuminate instead the tangled polemics of secular rule and spiritual authority.”—Anne J. Cruz Renaissance and Reformation“Domínguez’s work, with its transnational perspective, rejection of confessional and nationalist narratives, and recovery of marginal voices, contributes positively to encouraging trends in modern Reformation scholarship.”—Alexander DeWitt SJ Archivum Historicum Societatis Iesu“Skillfully researched and written with enviable clarity, Freddy Domínguez’s Radicals in Exile explores in detail a series of texts English Catholics wrote from Spain during the dramatic years of the 1580s and ’90s. His readings of these works are original and illuminating, and they integrate this singular corpus into the wider religious and intellectual history of the period.”—James S. Amelang,author of Parallel Histories: Muslims and Jews in Inquisitorial Spain“This book puts the punch back into early modern religious polemic. Radical English Catholic exiles deftly bob and weave across the pages with hired-gun Protestant apologists. London swings at Madrid, Madrid jabs back at London, while Rome, Paris, and Antwerp stand by, eager to climb into the ring. The many contenders in this post-Reformation prizefight in print yield refreshingly unfamiliar viewpoints, internecine agendas, and a dynamic polyglot literature that has been too often overlooked.”—Earle Havens,Nancy H. Hall Curator of Rare Books & Manuscripts, Johns Hopkins University“Through a meticulous engagement with both English and Spanish works and ideas, Domínguez reminds us that exiles were influenced not only by developments in England, but also by the historical circumstances and ideas present in their adoptive home. Radicals in Exile is a much-needed study, which is sure to make an indelible impact in the field.”—Gonzalo Velasco Berenguer Journal of Modern History

Zondervan Religious Freedom in a Secular Age
Book SynopsisReligious Freedom in a Secular Age describes today’s complicated debates about religious freedom, suggesting a way forward that neither privileges nor punishes religion. Tackling many complicated topics, this practical book encourages Christians to stand up for their faith in a way that is humble and gentle, yet also courageous.Trade Review'Michael Bird is an astute and measured voice in today's discourse on religion and politics. This book's global perspective will challenge readers of all backgrounds and beliefs toward better arguments and better understanding.' * John D. Inazu, Sally D. Danforth Distinguished Professor of Law and Religion, Washington University in St. Louis *'Rev. Dr. Michael Bird's Religious Freedom in a Secular Age is a book long overdue--religious freedom has been eroding rapidly in Australia since 2017, after the legalisation of same-sex marriage. But this book is also very timely, arriving just as the Victorian state government determines to enact antireligion laws one after another to silence faith communities and just as the Australian federal government seeks to pass new laws to better protect religious freedom. This book will bring the much-needed debate over religious freedom--a challenging topic--to our discussion tables. Bird offers us a comprehensive, unapologetic, honest, and unbiased analysis from a historical, philosophical, biblical, and sociopolitical perspective. It's a must-read book for all Christians, pastors, church leaders, theologians, and seminary students living in this hostile and secular age--because it's not too late to turn the world upside down again, just like the early church did!' * Jasmine Yuen, Victorian State Coordinator, Australian Christian Lobby *'With his characteristic wit, Michael Bird demonstrates that religious liberty is of interest not only to Christians but also to the marketplace of ideas that helped deepen faith while simultaneously making room for peaceable difference. With a keen assessment of cultural events and theological dexterity, Bird is now among those doing needed work to retrieve the forgotten ideal that is religious liberty.' * Andrew T. Walker, associate professor of Christian ethics, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, author of Liberty for All *

SCM Press Beyond the Spirit of Empire
Book SynopsisHow does empire mould human subjectivity, for instance, and how does it affect the understanding of humans within the whole of creation? This title analyzes the global empire in its political and economic dimensions, in its symbolic constructions of power, and in its general assumptions often taken for granted.Trade Review'This rich and interdisciplinary book presents a powerful up-to-date critique of the spirit of Empire, using critical insights from post-Marxist, postmodern, and postcolonial theories. Written by authors who have engaged liberation Christianity from three different geographical locales, this text provides resources and visions for those who believe that annother world and an alternative spirit that resists Empire are possible. I highly recommend this creative theological reading of transcendence, subjectivity, and democracy in the political present.' Kwok Pui-lan, author of Postcolonial Imagination and Feminist Theology ‘This unusual and engaging book can be properly described as “the geography of religion and the constitution of Western empires.” A Methodist from Germany, a Catholic Korean in Brazil and a Methodist from Argentina and of Italo-Spanish descent allows for an intra-religious and inter-national disciplinary dialogue. The book will be of interest to all readers interested in religion, theologians or not, Christians or not, whether or not they are located within the realm of Western Empire or in its exteriority, that is, beyond Christian theology in all its diversity. The book makes a signal contribution to understanding the double role of theology and religion. On the one hand, Christian Theology was and continues to be part of Western imperialism and, on the other, from Christian Theology emerged variegated theologies of liberation, of which this book is an excellent example.' Walter Mignolo, Duke University

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Political Theology A Guide for the Perplexed
Book SynopsisElizabeth Philips is Tutor in Theology and Ethics at Westcott House and also lectures in the Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge, UK.Trade ReviewThis short volume by Elizabeth Philips is a welcome contribution that will assist the beginner to understand theological debates over the nature of politics . . . The presentation is clear and direct, and appropriate particularly for undergraduate students. -- Christopher Craig Brittain, University of Aberdeen * The Expository Times *Elizabeth Phillips offers a solid and concise introductory text for those who want to become acquainted with Political Theology or introduce students to this field. -- Nathan Willowby, Marquette University, US * Theological Book Review *‘This is one of the most lucidly composed and carefully constructed books on political theology. Undergraduates and graduate students alike will greatly appreciate Elizabeth Phillips' systematic thinking and crystal clear writing. I can't wait to use this book in the classroom!' - Craig Hovey, Ashland University, USA. -- Craig Hovey‘This book is unlike any other. It is an accessible map of the field of political theology, providing a brief history of its emergence, an outline of types of approach, and a sampling of how major theologians have dealt with the central issues in political theology. The clear organization and writing make the book ideally suited for the classroom. Beyond introducing the thought of others, Phillips also interjects insightful comments and questions into the text that show her to be a worthy participant in the wider conversation that she summarizes so lucidly. This book is a valuable contribution to a growing field." - William T. Cavanaugh, DePaul University, USA -- William T. Cavanaugh‘A fine introduction to political theology. Writing in a style that makes the book eminently suitable for undergraduate as well as postgraduate students, Phillips offers a refreshingly non-partisan presentation, focussing on both theological sources and political contexts. Discussion of important historical figures—such as Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Barth and Bonhoeffer—are complemented by an engagement with contemporary political theologians—from Gutiérrez and Cone to Yoder and O'Donovan, from Milbank and Cavanaugh to Althaus-Reid and Ruether. Interwoven with these discussions is the critical consideration of contexts: from ‘liberal society' to ‘marginalisation'. Above all, the reader is persuaded that political theology matters.

University Press of America Haitian Modernity and Liberative Interruptions
Book SynopsisHaitian Modernity and Liberative Interruptions investigates the intersections of history, literature, race, religion, decolonization, and freedom that led to the founding of the postcolonial state of Haiti in 1804. Particular attention is given to the place of religion in the Haitian Revolution, as well as to the interpretation and representation of this singular event in the work of Frederick Douglass and Langston Hughes. This book not only examines the multiple legacies and the problems of Enlightenment modernity, imperial colonialism, Western racism, and hegemony, but also studies their complex relationships with the institutions of slavery, religion, and Black freedom. Topics range from Makandal's postcolonial religious imagination to Boukman's liberation theology to Langston Hughes' discussion of the role of prophetic religion in the Haitian Revolution. Haitian Modernity and Liberative Interruptions also compares Du Bois's theory of double consciousness with Fanon's theory of decolonization and revolutionary humanism.Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgements Introduction: Interpreting and Engaging the Haitian Revolution 1 An Appraisal of Recent Scholarship on the Haitian Revolution 2 The Rhetoric of Prayer: Dutty Boukman, the Discourse of “Freedom from Below,” and the Politics of God 3 Prophetic Religion, Violence, and Black Freedom: Reading Makandal’s Project of Black Liberation through A Fanonian Postcolonial Lens of Decolonization and Theory of Revolutionary Humanism 4 “A City Upon a Hill”: Haiti, Religion, and Race: Frederick Douglass’ Freedom Discourse and the Significance of the Haitian Revolution as a Freedom Event in Modernity 5 The Spirit of Revolution, the Spirit of Black Freedom: The Representation of the Haitian Revolution and the Function of Black Religion in Langston Hughes’ Emperor of Haiti Bibliography Index About the Author

MK - Stanford University Press The Time That Remains A Commentary on the Letter to the Romans
Book SynopsisAgamben seeks to separate the Pauline texts from the history of the Church that canonized them, thus revealing them to be "the fundamental messianic texts of the West." He argues that Paul's Letters are concerned not with the foundation of a new religion but rather with the "messianic" abolition of Jewish law.Trade Review"The Time that Remains presents itself as an exegetical seminar on the opening line of the Letter to the Romans ("Paul, called as a slave of Jesus the Messiah, separated as apostle for the announcement of God")... Agamben's insightful close reading of the Pauline corpus sets this book apart from the more free-range grazing over the text modeled by Badiou and iek."—Radical Philosophy Review"Agamben, through the close reading of Pauline letter and the comparison of W. Benjamin's philosophy of history, gives us a fruitful key to better understand Western history and civilization. Philosophers and theologians will learn a great deal from reading this book." —Philosophy in Review/Comptes Rendus philosophiquesTable of Contents@fmct:Contents @toc2:The First Day 000 The Second Day 000 The Third Day 000 The Fourth Day 000 The Fifth Day 000 The Sixth Day 000 Threshold or Tornada 000 @toc4:Appendix 000 Bibliogrpahy 000 Index of Names 000

LUP - University of Georgia Press The Faiths of the Postwar Presidents From Truman
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThis is an admirable and colorful yet balanced look at our recent Presidents and their religious beliefs. It will have wide appeal for all readers and particularly for those interested in presidential history." - Nancy Richey, Library Journal"Holmes, professor of religious studies at the College of William and Mary (The Faiths of the Founding Fathers) examines the backgrounds of our presidents since WWII by delving into their families, the people who influenced their religious beliefs, and their patterns of attending Sunday worship. . . . [I]t is well-researched reading for the reader who wants to know about the presidency." - Publishers Weekly"[Holmes] is politically and confessionally nonpartisan, which allows him to write impressively balanced accounts of such matters as Nixon's betrayal of Billy Graham's trust and Obama's connection to Jeremiah Wright, who, on the evidence, was an excellent pastor who'd never been 'controversial' before the media started sound-biting his sermons. Only Kennedy emerges from Holmes' presentation as less sympathetic than current opinion considers him. Another interesting take on the presidency." - Ray Olson, Booklist"A distinctive element of American politics is its unofficial yet vital link with religion. . . . Holmes shows the personal side of this dynamic by examining the faith lives and patterns of the 12 American presidents who served after WW II, from Truman to Obama. . . . It offers a number of illuminating insights into the private lives of these very public leaders." - M.A. Granquist, Choice
