HarperOne The Darkening Age
Book SynopsisA New York Times Notable Book, winner of the Jerwood Award from the Royal Society of Literature, a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice, and named a Book of the Year by the Telegraph, Spectator, Observer, and BBC History Magazine, this bold new history of the rise of Christianity shows how its radical followers helped to annihilate Greek and Roman civilizations. The Darkening Age is the largely unknown story of how a militant religion deliberately attacked and suppressed the teachings of the Classical world, ushering in centuries of unquestioning adherence to one true faith.Despite the long-held notion that the early Christians were meek and mild, going to their martyrs'' deaths singing hymns of love and praise, the truth, as Catherine Nixey reveals, is very different. Far from being meek and mild, they were violent, ruthless, and fundamentally intolerant. Unlike

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Religious Hatred
Book SynopsisWhy does religion inspire hatred? Why do people in one religion sometimes hate people of another religion, and also why do some religions inspire hatred from others?This book shows how scholarly studies of prejudice, identity formation, and genocide studies can shed light on global examples of religious hatred. The book is divided into four parts, focusing respectively on: theories of prejudice and violence; historical developments of antisemitism, Islamophobia, and race; contemporary Western antisemitism and Islamophobia; and, prejudices beyond the West in the Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu traditions. Each part ends with a special focus section. Key features include: - A compelling synthesis of theories of prejudice, identity, and hatred to explain Islamophobia and antisemitism. - An innovative theory of human violence and genocide which explains the link to prejudice. - Case studies of both Western antisemitism and Islamophobia in history and today, alongside Trade ReviewHedges has written a remarkable book, which deserves to be widely read by students of religion, as well as by those who work in community relations. It is accessible and clearly written ... work of scholarship from an expert in interreligious relations. * Reviews in Religion and Theology *Paul Hedges offers a critical and multidisciplinary contribution to the perennial questions regarding the whence, whither, wherefore, and whereby of religious hatred ... Significantly, he connects antisemitism and Islamophobia together as forms of bias and prejudice (partially explainable through social identity theory). For this, and more, the book is highly commendable ... Indeed, I’ll be employing it in my own classes precisely because of how it opens us up to debate and critical exploration. * Journal of Interreligious Studies *Religious Hatred is an ambitious book ... No one volume attempting to weave together so much history in so many places can do everything, but Hedges is able to do quite a lot to enter into and further a conversation that, I hope, will remain at the forefront. With Islamophobia and antisemitism on the rise, work like this is crucial. * Journal of the American Academy of Religion *The book is written in straightforward and jargon-free language that makes it suitable for a course book but also relevant for senior scholars and the general public. It is carefully worded with elegant alliterative sentences, inviting the reader to stop and reflect. * TEMENOS: Nordic Journal of Comparative Religion *I believe the book to be of great worth ... I have learned a lot from it, and will undoubtedly return to it ... Overall, the book offers rich reward for taking the time to read it and think about it. * Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books *Hedges’ book is an excellent resource for educators and scholars hoping to have more nuanced and balanced discussions on the realities of Islamophobia and antisemitism. His book equips his readers with the resources they need not only to conceptually understand what prejudice, hatred and violence are as human phenomena, but also to respond to these challenges with deeper historical awareness and sensitivity. * Current Dialogue *Table of ContentsPart 1: Why do we Hate?

Prometheus Books Culture and Conflict in the Middle East
Book SynopsisIn an era of increasing interaction between the United States and the countries of the Middle East, it has become ever more important for Americans to understand the social forces that shape Middle Eastern cultures. Based on years of his own field research and the ethnographic reports of other scholars, anthropologist Philip Carl Salzman presents an incisive analysis of Middle Eastern culture that goes a long way toward explaining the gulf between Western and Middle Eastern cultural perspectives. Salzman focuses on two basic principles of tribal organization that have become central principles of Middle Eastern life—balanced opposition (each group of whatever size and scope is opposed by a group of equal size and scope) and affiliation solidarity (always support those closer against those more distant). On the positive side, these pervasive structural principles support a decentralized social and political system based upon individual independence, autonomy, liberty, equality, and responsibility. But on the negative side, Salzman notes a pattern of contingent partisan loyalties, which results in an inbred orientation favoring particularism: an attitude of my tribe against the other tribe, my ethnic group against the different ethnic group, my religious community against another religious community. For each affiliation, there is always an enemy. Salzman argues that the particularism of Middle Eastern culture precludes universalism, rule of law, and constitutionalism, which all involve the measuring of actions against general criteria, irrespective of the affiliation of the particular actors. The result of this relentless partisan framework of thought has been the apparently unending conflict, both internal and external, that characterizes the modern Middle East.Trade Review"While tribalism is in one sense culturally pervasive in the Middle East, tribal practices are less swathed in sacredness than explicitly Koranic symbols and commandments--and are therefore more susceptible to criticism and debate. Even jihad and suicide bombing can be interpreted through a tribal lens. We've taught ourselves a good deal about Islam over the past seven years. Yet tribalism is at least half the cultural battle in the Middle East, and the West knows little about it. Learning how to understand and critique the Islamic Near East through a tribal lens will open up a new and smarter strategy for change. The way to begin is by picking up Salzman's Culture and Conflict in the Middle East." -- Stanley Kurtz, Weekly Standard, 14th April 2008.

The Mercier Press Ltd A State in Denial:: British Collaboration with Loyalist Paramilitaries
Book SynopsisThis meticulously researched book uses previously secret official documents to explore the tangled web of relationships between the top echelons of the British establishment, incl Cabinet ministers, senior civil servants, police/military officers and intelligence services with loyalist paramilitaries of the UDA & UVF throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. Covert British Army units, mass sectarian screening, propaganda ‘dirty tricks,’ arming sectarian killers and a point-blank refusal over the worst two decades of the conflict, to outlaw the largest loyalist killer gang in Northern Ireland. It shows how tactics such as curfew and internment were imposed on the nationalist population in Northern Ireland and how London misled the European Commission over internment’s one-sided nature. It focuses particularly on the British Government’s refusal to proscribe the UDA for two decades – probably the most serious abdication of the rule of law in the entire conflict. Previously classified documents show a clear pattern of official denial, at the highest levels of government, of the extent and impact of the loyalist assassination campaign.

Sean Kingston Publishing Spectral Borders: History, neighbourliness and
Book SynopsisBased on ethnographic research conducted in a town on the Polish-Belarussian border, this book examines borders and the lingering echoes of conflict. Using hauntology as a guiding framework to understand how people live amidst the histories and reverberations of conflicts, the author investigates the role that landscape, with its material presences and absences, plays in evoking and maintaining the border. The ethnography probes themes of ethnicity, religious practice, memory and space, investigating the border as a dynamic social process. By immersing herself in the everyday lives of the borderland, Joyce unravels how traces – lingering imprints of the past – shape local relationships in the present, influencing shared understandings of history and the future. Introducing the concept of the spectral border as a lens to reveal the ambiguous presence of afterlives and memories tied to a historical boundary, the book unveils its present-day ghostly forms in the local ideas and practices of neighbourliness at the heart of borderland identity. Spectral Borders interrogates the use and limitations of these practices by exploring points of tension, where the meanings and uses of ‘being a neighbour’ and ‘being from the borderland’ are tested and challenged. In doing so, the book raises important questions about how conviviality is created and managed in a place with a long and unresolved history marked by ethnic and religious violence, war, and civil unrest.Trade ReviewJoyce has written a layered and nuanced ethnography of a formerly little-known Polish borderland. While tragic events have recently brought the region to world attention, she shows that the Polish–Belarus border has long been politicized, as it has shifted between different nations. The book focuses on the hauntings that underlie much of the social, religious and cultural life of the region: the spectres of religious conflicts played out in contested spaces by Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox institutions and actors, and ofa large Jewish community now all but disappeared. Joyce explores the complex relations local people have with the forest, a place full of secret histories as well as environmentalminitiatives, tourist trails, local foragers and more clandestine economic practices. The border follows the River Bug, also a site where traces of past conflicts lurk below the surface, easily evoked by present occurrences. This beautifully written book, moving easily between anthropology and history, in a dialogue between vivid ethnography and sophisticated theory, deserves to be read by anyone interested in the region, or in memory, place and landscape, and the complex social worlds that encompass and make them.Frances Pine, Emerita Reader in Anthropology, Goldsmiths, University of London; This monograph is a fascinating read, offering a fresh and original perspective on the complex cultural landscape of the Polish-Belarusian borderland. The concept of spectral borders is presented with particular ethnographic sensitivity and offers an engaging and elegant literary narrative.Justyna Straczuk, Associate Professor, Polish Academy of Sciences.Table of ContentsIntroduction – Around the kitchen table: neighbours and spectres; Chapter 1 – The House of Culture: working with fragments, traces and absences; Chapter 2 – The Bug Cycle Path: the border as a tourist destination; Chapter 3 – Boundary markers: spectral borders in eastern Poland; Chapter 4 – The Church of the Holy Spirit: contested churches and religious borders; Chapter 5 – The iron gate: ruins, absence and uncanny façades; Chapter 6 – The basilica: pilgrimage, presence and co-presence; Conclusion – construction sites; References; Index.

Brill Encounter between Enemies: Captivity and Ransom in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem
Book SynopsisThis fascinating study examines the customs, legal codes, and socioeconomic mechanisms that evolved from the initial Christian-Muslim encounter on Crusader battlefields. It pinpoints changes in European mentality, and conduct of war, tracing acculturation processes in Frankish society in the Levant. These changes emerged from the need to redeem captives, making payment of ransom to the infidel conceivable and acceptable. The book pays special attention to the story of the vanquished, to the situation of women, to the behavior of the Military Orders toward captives, and to the image of the captive in Crusader literature, in the context of making war and peace.Trade ReviewWinner of the 2002 Izhak Ben-Zvi Prize (awarded every year for an outstanding publication in the field of Land of Israel studies in memory of the second president of the State of Israel, Izhak Ben-Zvi).

Brill Roots of Theological Anti-Semitism (paperback): German Biblical Interpretation and the Jews, from Herder and Semler to Kittel and Bultmann
Book SynopsisAs Adolf Hitler strategised his way to power, he knew that it was necessary to gain the support of theology and the Church. This study begins two hundred years earlier, however, looking at roots of theological anti-Semitism and how Jews and Judaism were constructed, positively and negatively, in the biblical interpretation of German Protestant theology. Following the two main streams of German theology, the salvation-historical and the Enlightenment-oriented traditions, it examines leading exegetes from the 1750s to the 1950s and explores how theology legitimises or delegitimises oppression of Jews, in part through still-prevailing paradigms. This is the first comprehensive analysis of its kind, and the result of the analysis of the interplay between biblical exegesis and attitudes to Jews and Judaism is a fascinating and often frightening portrait of theology as a servant of power.Table of ContentsCONTENTS Introduction: Roots of Theological Anti-Semitism PART I: ENLIGHTENMENT EXEGESIS AND THE JEWS Introduction The Jews in Enlightenment Exegesis From Deism to de Wette Johann Salomo Semler: Dejudaising Christianity Johann Gottfried Herder: The Volk Concept and the Jews F.
