Random House USA Inc The Righteous Mind
Book SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The acclaimed social psychologist challenges conventional thinking about morality, politics, and religion in a way that speaks to conservatives and liberals alike—a “landmark contribution to humanity’s understanding of itself” (The New York Times Book Review).Drawing on his twenty-five years of groundbreaking research on moral psychology, Jonathan Haidt shows how moral judgments arise not from reason but from gut feelings. He shows why liberals, conservatives, and libertarians have such different intuitions about right and wrong, and he shows why each side is actually right about many of its central concerns.In this subtle yet accessible book, Haidt gives you the key to understanding the miracle of human cooperation, as well as the curse of our eternal divisions and conflicts. If you’re ready to trade in anger for understanding, read The Righteous Mind.

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.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Mother Teresa Saint or Celebrity
Book SynopsisMother Teresa was one of the most written about and publicised women in modern times. Apart from Pope John Paul II, she was arguably the most advertised religious celebrity in the last quarter of the twentieth century. During her lifetime as well as posthumously, Mother Teresa continues to generate a huge level of interest and heated debate.Gëzim Alpion explores the significance of Mother Teresa to the mass media, to celebrity culture, to the Church and to various political groups. A section explores the ways different vested interests have sought to appropriate her after her death, and also examines Mother Teresa''s own attitude to her childhood and to the Balkan conflicts in the 1980s and 1990s.This book sheds a new and fascinating light upon this remarkable and influential woman, which will intrigue followers of Mother Teresa and those who study the vagaries of stardom and celebrity culture.Trade Review'It is a clever book, providing a great deal of original and new thought on the subject.' - Primrose Peacock, Friends of Albania 'In his unparalleled scholarly book, Alpion has presented a multidimensional portrait of Mother Teresa. And she appears human as she rarely did in any discourse about her.' - Gaston Roberge, The New Leader'In its depth, breadth, and seriousness, this volume may stand for some time to come as the single most imporant biography of Mother Teresa in English ... A great value of this book is that [Alpion] has provided us with the fullest portrait yet of her native culture and her maturation' – Center for Islamic Pluralism'This book of Alpion's feels like a whiff of delightfully fresh air. It is the work of an open and dedicated scholar, who despite his reverence for the nun has yet striven to be as unbiased as possible, never letting his emotions get in the way. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending this book to everyone.' – Bulletin of the Faculty of Foreign Studies'I enjoyed this book and anyone interested in how Albanian identity is understood and constructed should take the time to read it carefully.' -- Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies‘Alpion’s examination of Mother Teresa’s celebrity is a case study of corporate identity management in today’s global media environment. His weaving of primary texts into the setting of this character piece creates a comprehensive cross-cultural examination that has the potential to become a new archetypal work of this mercurial personality.’ -- Marvin Williams, American Communication Journal, USA‘In its depth, breadth, and seriousness, this volume may stand for some time to come as the single most important biography of Mother Teresa in English.’ -- Stephen Schwartz, Illyria, New York, USA‘After Mother Teresa: Saint or Celebrity? scholarship about Mother Teresa will not be the same.… In his unparalleled scholarly book, Alpion has presented a multidimensional portrait of Mother Teresa. And she appears human as she rarely did in any discourse about her.’ -- Professor Gaston Roberge, The New Leader, India‘One must ungrudgingly give it to Alpion that this has been a work of monumental proportions involving great dexterity….All methodological exclusivity has been abjured, allowing the multihued disciplines to coalesce as needed in the research….All this makes the book compulsory reading.’ -- Professor Bonita Aleaz, Head of Department of Political Science, University of Calcutta, The Asia Journal of Theology, India‘[A] superbly researched work…. After Germaine Greer, Christopher Hitchens and Susan Shields this book of Alpion’s feels like a whiff of delightfully fresh air…. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending this book to everyone.’ -- Professor Cyril Veliath, Bulletin of the Faculty of Foreign Studies, Sophia University, Tokyo, Japan‘Alpion is to be congratulated on both the depth of his research spread over several years, and the balanced way he sets out his facts….It is a clever book, providing a great deal of original and new thought on the subject but it is not a book to skim through in a couple of hours.’ -- Primrose Peacock, Catholic South West, UK‘Alpion’s book....is unique in locating the appeal of Mother Teresa within today’s broader celebrity culture…. For Alpion, celebrity culture is a modern form of religion and Mother Teresa was the ultimate religious celebrity of the modern era.’ --Dr Stuart Derbyshire, Spiked Magazine, UK‘Alpion [who] writes illuminatingly about different forms of "celebrity discourse"…has written an absorbing analysis what this nun has meant to the world.’ -- John Hodgson, Light Magazine, UK‘This engaging book raises as many questions as it answers…. Alpion unpacks the full historical background in meticulous detail... The result is intriguing, if a little unsatisfactory. His thesis is original: Mother Teresa knew well what she was about… Her success and subsequent "fame" were of her own making, and she was far brighter than she made out… So there was sacrifice involved in her quest for fame, but was her integrity one of the casualties? That is what this book tries to explore — hence its telling subtitle.’ -- Dr Lavinia Byrne, Church Times, UK‘Alpion has not simply added another book to the already vast literature on Mother Teresa; he has actually enriched it. …Alpion has made an outstanding contribution to contemporary popular culture.’ --Dr Michael Schmidt-Neke, Albanische Hefte, Bochum, Germany‘I can’t but conclude that after all of his careful research and reasoned probing, Alpion was personally touched by this great woman…. Alpion does ask some controversial questions. However, his answers are fair and reasoned from his point of view.’ -- Dr Margaret Nutting Ralph, Albanian Journal of Politics, Chapel Hill, NC, USA‘[T]he book does offer the migrationist a very useful account of an exceptional migration trajectory and, although this is not a declared objective of the book, it is also worth reading for its migratory sub-text. Mother Teresa as a migrant woman in the early part of the twentieth century makes for fascinating speculation regarding her motives and the modality of her mobility. I enjoyed this book and anyone interested in how Albanian identity is understood and constructed should take the time to read it carefully.’ -- Professor Glyn Davies, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, UK‘The most authoritative English-language author on Blessed Teresa of Kolkata is Gëzim Alpion…a pioneer in the academic study of the phenomenon of celebrity.’ -- Stephen Schwartz, Folks Magazine, India‘In addition to [Aroup] Chatterjee’s books Mother Teresa: The Final Verdict and Mother Teresa: The Untold Story, and Christopher Hitchens’ The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice, there is one by Gëzim Alpion, titled Mother Teresa: Saint or Celebrity? which was as critical of Teresa as the other works mentioned earlier. Published in 2006, it exposed the well-orchestrated publicity blitz that Mother Teresa encouraged about herself, even when her real charity work didn’t count for much.’Dr T. Hanuman Chowdary, Swarajya, India'The main thrust of this carefully argued work is two fold. Firstly it concentrates on the loss of her father when a child becoming the mainspring driving the rest of Mother Teresa's life with 'Jesus' as a parental and marital substitute. Secondly it shows with considerable clarity how Mother Teresa used and was used by politicians, governments, the church, her admirers and a few detractors to achieve her objectives in what I consider was the result of her Albanian psyche. It is a clever book, providing a great deal of original and new thought on the subject but it is not a book to skim through in a couple of hours.' - Primrose Peacock, Friends of Albania '...this book of Alpion's feels like a whiff of delightfully fresh air. It is the work of an open and dedicated scholar, who despite his reverence for the nun has yet striven to be as unbiased as possible, never letting his emotions get in the way.

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
