Taylor & Francis Ltd Numen, Old Men: Contemporary Masculine Spiritualities and the Problem of Patriarchy
Book SynopsisSince the early 1990s there have been various movements designed to encourage 'masculine spirituality'. All these movements share a concern that spirituality has become too feminine and that men's experiences of the spiritual are being marginalized. The task of masculine spirituality is to promote 'authentic' masculine characteristics within a spiritual context. Numen, Old Men examines these characteristics to argue that masculine spirituality is thinly veiled patriarchy. The mythopoetic, evangelical, and Catholic men's movements are shown to promote a hetero-patriarchal spirituality by appealing to either combative and oppressive neo-Jungian archetypes or biblical models of man as the leader of the family. Numen, Old Men examines spiritualities that aim to honour and transcend both the masculine and feminine, and offers gay spirituality as an example of masculine spirituality that resists patriarchy.Trade Review‘Will be useful to students and researchers interested in the relation between masculinity and Christianity in the US.

Taylor & Francis Ltd U.S. War-Culture, Sacrifice and Salvation
Book SynopsisThe military-industrial complex in the United States has grown exponentially in recent decades, yet the realities of war remain invisible to most Americans. The U.S has created a culture in which sacrificial rhetoric is the norm when dealing in war. This culture has been enabled because popular American Christian understandings of redemption rely so heavily on the sacrificial. 'U.S War-Culture, Sacrifice and Salvation' explores how the concept of Christian redemption has been manipulated to create a mentality of "necessary sacrifice". The study reveals the links between Christian notions of salvation and sacrifice and the aims of the military-industrial complex.Table of ContentsIntroduction1. War-culture and Sacrifice2. Building and Maintaining the Drive to War: Victimage Rhetoric, Framing, and the Language of Sacrifice3. A Deadly Nexus: ‘Necessity,’ Christina Salvation and War-culture4. Rehabilitating Sacrifice?5.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Eastern Values; Western Milieu: Identities and
Book SynopsisIn this book, Tehmina Basit examines the educational, social and career aspirations of adolescent Muslim girls in the context of their present experiences in contemporary Britain. She gathered data for the study over a period of twenty months, mainly by in-depth interviewing. The book portrays adolescence as a period of hope and expectation, rather than a time of stress, confusion and rebellion. The girls are optimistic about the future and, though largely working class, have middle class aspirations which they hope to realize through the mediums of education and careers. Nevertheless, they also want to get married and have children. While the girls’ aspirations are partly being shaped by the views of their parents and teachers, they are not replicating the lives of their parents and teachers. Indeed, they are active participants in shaping their own multiple identities and aspirations by means of a subtle combination of negotiation and persuasion.Trade Review’...an antidote to stereotypes and should be read by all those interested in the creation of a tolerant multicultural Britain.’ Professor Sally Tomlinson, University of London, UK ’...provides a refreshingly alternative view to the usual caricatures often found in studies...very useful for all those who genuinely want to understand some of the processes affecting the lives of Muslims in Britain today, as well as the educational aspirations of many Muslim girls.’ Sage Race Relations AbstractsTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; The shaping of identity; The dynamism of family values; The institution of marriage; The social dimension of schooling; The academic dimension of schooling; Aspiring to a career; Conclusions.

Cambridge University Press Friedrich Schleiermacher
Book SynopsisRichard Crouter illustrates how Schleiermacher's work draws from both the Enlightenment and Romanticism. The book's three sections include illuminating sketches of Schleiermacher's relationship to contemporaries, his work as a public theologian, and the formation and impact of his two most famous books, On Religion and The Christian Faith.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'Crouter's book is important for tracing the evolution of Schleiermacher's thought. … Crouter has long harboured a wish to write a biography of Schleiermacher, and his knowledge of the factors that shaped his life and thought make this book a valuable guide to understanding him.' Church Times'Crouter's essays are much more than occasional papers. Each is thoroughly researched and densely noted; Crouter's command of both the primary and secondary Schleiermacher literature is prodigious. Yet, for all their scholarly heft and discipline, these essays are charming, witty and graceful.' German Studies ReviewTable of ContentsIntroduction; Part I. Taking the Measure of Schleiermacher: 1.
