Cambridge University Press Alcohol Addiction and Christian Ethics 27 New Studies in Christian Ethics Series Number 27
Book SynopsisAddictive disorders are characterised by a division of the will, in which the addict is attracted both by a desire to continue the addictive behaviour and also by a desire to stop it. Academic perspectives on this predicament usually come from clinical and scientific standpoints, with the 'moral model' rejected as outmoded. But Christian theology has a long history of thinking and writing on such problems and offers insights which are helpful to scientific and ethical reflection upon the nature of addiction. Chris Cook reviews Christian theological and ethical reflection upon the problems of alcohol use and misuse, from biblical times until the present day. Drawing particularly upon the writings of St Paul the Apostle and Augustine of Hippo, a critical theological model of addiction is developed. Alcohol dependence is also viewed in the broader ethical perspective of the use and misuse of alcohol within communities.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'With moral theologian, doctor, and then policy maker in mind, this book goes a good distance in making plausible how addiction can be better understood when the natural social sciences' are brought together with theology.' Studies in Christian EthicsReview of the hardback: 'The author, psychiatrist and Anglican priest Christopher Cook, indeed succeeds in illuminating this contribution in a scholarly, thorough, and readable light.' Journal of Addictive DiseasesReview of the hardback: '… the extra work required for non-theologians to engage fully with this book pays off in richer understanding of how the world's largest religion continues to grapple with one of the world's greatest public health challenges.' AddictionReview of the hardback: 'This is an entirely praiseworthy attempt by Chris Cook to open the ethical debates on alcohol questions amongst Christians after many years of embarrassed silence.' A Theology of the Use and Misuse of AlcoholReview of the hardback: '[Christopher Cook's] expertise with both theology and addiction psychiatry is reflected in this well-argued work, combining up-to-date psychiatry and public health with theology built on Biblical and patristic foundations.' The British Journal of PsychiatryReview of the hardback: '… a helpful introduction to a complex and complicated issue…' International Journal of Public TheologyTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Alcohol, addiction and Christian ethics: introduction; 2. An addiction in context: the use, misuse and harmful use of alcohol; 3. Drunkenness as vice in the New Testament; 4. Drunkenness as intemperance: Augustine, Aquinas, Luther and Whitefield; 5. Temperance redefined: the nineteenth century temperance movement; 6. Addiction as sin and syndrome: the divided self; 7.

Cambridge University Press Women in the Earliest Churches 59 Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series Series Number 59
Book SynopsisThis book examines the roles and functions that women assumed in the early Christian communities from AD 33 to the Council of Nicaea. It surveys, too, the views about women held by various New Testament authors including Paul and the Evangelists. In a careful and judicious study, Ben Witherington shows that early Christianity was neither unreservedly patriarchal nor adamantly feminist in its view of women and their roles, but rather charted a middle course which combined a reforming of the predominantly patriarchal framework of society with an affirmation of new religious roles for women. Now available in paperback, this is the first book to survey such a large amount of material exegetically, and make use, at the same time, of original languages and texts.Trade Review'The most significant study to be written on the women question so far ... no serious debate about the Biblical teaching on women can now take place without taking into account the range of material and conclusions in this book.' Christian Book News'It presents a full and impartial discussion of material which is often used selectively and polemically in contemporary debate.' The Expository Times'The best and fairest discussion of the horrendously controversial issue of the place of women in early Christianity.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History'Commendable for its thoroughness and rejection of ideological '. Religious Studies ReviewTable of ContentsPreface; Abbreviations; Introduction; 1. Women in first-century Mediterranean cultures; 2. Women and the physical family in the Pauline epistles; 3. Women and the family of faith in the Pauline epistles; 4. Women and the Third Evangelist; 5. Women in the churches of Matthew, Mark, and John; 6. Trajectories beyond the New Testament era; Conclusions; Notes; Bibliography.

Cambridge University Press An Introduction to Swaminarayan Hinduism
Book SynopsisAn Introduction to Swaminarayan Hinduism, third edition, offers a comprehensive study of a contemporary form of Hinduism. Begun as a revival and reform movement in India 200 years ago, it has now become one of the fastest growing and most prominent forms of Hinduism.

The devotion, rituals, and discipline taught by its founder, Sahajanand Swami (17811830) and elaborated by current leaders in major festivals, diverse media, and over the Internet, help preserve ethnic and religious identity in many modern cultural and political contexts. Swaminarayan Hinduism, here described through its history, divisions, leaders, theology and practices, provides valuable case studies of contemporary Hinduism, religion, migrants, and transnationalism. This new edition includes up-to-date information about growth, geographic expansionTable of Contents1. The beginnings of Swaminarayan Hinduism; 2. Growth, administration, and schism; 3. The structure of Swaminarayan theology; 4. The sacred world; 5. Dharma: the disciplined life; 6. The sacred thread: transmission of tradition; 7. Transnational growth of Swaminarayan Hinduism.

Zondervan Gods Politics
Book SynopsisNew York Times bestseller God''s Politics struck a chord with Americans disenchanted with how the Right had co-opted all talk about integrating religious values into our politics, and with the Left, who were mute on the subject. Jim Wallis argues that America''s separation of church and state does not require banishing moral and religious values from the public square. God''s Politics offers a vision for how to convert spiritual values into real social change and has started a grassroots movement to hold our political leaders accountable by incorporating our deepest convictions about war, poverty, racism, abortion, capital punishment, and other moral issues into our nation''s public life. Who can change the political wind? Only we can.

Oxford University Press Inc Divided by Faith
Book SynopsisA revealing study of the radical attitudes of white evangelical Americans.Trade Reviewthis is an important text that sheds light on the inner theological and sociological workings of white evangelicals in connection to one of the most pressing issues in the United States ... valuable for its insights into Evangelicalism, religion and race, and religious pluralism. * Anthony B.Pinn, Reviews in Religion and Theology, Vol.8, Issue 3, June 2001 *"This is an important book. With thoughtful conceptual distinctions and careful analysis of data from a variety of empirical sources, Emerson and Smith provide an interesting account of how white evangelicals perpetuate the very racial divisions they publicly oppose. Divided by Faith breaks new ground in the study of religion and American race relations."--William Julius Wilson, Lewis P. and Linda L. Geyser University Professor, Harvard University, and author of The Truly Disadvantaged and The Bridge Over the Racial Divide"Divided by Faith is just that--an account of the deep racial division within American religion. But more than that, it is a penetrating look at the societal and religious-based reasons for this division within the Evangelical Christian sector, and a compassionate plea on the part of the authors for Christians to engage the issue of race and to lead the country in solving this 'American Dilemma.' A thorough and very readable book, to be read by scholars and church members alike."--Wade Clark Roof, J.F. Rowny Professor of Religion and Society, University of California, Santa Barbara"This path-breaking book is the best study in print on the racial attitudes of white evangelical Protestants. The book's unusual strength comes from its ability to combine a reliable summary of historical circumstances with careful attention to what evangelicals actually say and sensitive use of responsible sociological theory. The arguments of the book are made even more forceful by the willingness of Emerson and Smith to take the evangelicals' own theology seriously, especially where that theology calls into question standard patterns of evangelical racial practice."--Mark A. Noll, Professor of History, Wheaton College
