Searching for the Divine in Plato and Aristotle

Reinterpreting the Theory of Forms Vasilis Politis | Trinity College Dublin

Philosophical Theoria and Traditional Practice Julie K. Ward | Loyola University, Chicago

Magic in Merlin’s Realm A History of Occult Politics in Britain Francis Young

Francis Young boldly argues that magic has throughout the history of the British Isles been at times as culturally and politically significant as religion, when traditions of occult magic guided the hands of monarchs and rebels alike. He seeks to re-establish the connection of such beliefs with major political events. • The first book to pay concerted attention to the role of supernatural belief in political history, a topic which historians have largely overlooked • Its powerful argument that – from the Civil War of Stephen and Matilda to Brexit – the idea of magic has exercised a cultural power in Britain every bit as impressive as the supernatural capabilities claimed by the magicians themselves is striking, novel and persuasive • Young is a foremost authority on religion, esotericism and magic, the author of many books and has broadcast on BBC radio. Written with a trademark lightness of touch, the book challenges all who have marginalised the role of magic in the history of political thought

The Strix -Witch Daniel Ogden | University of Exeter

The strix was a persistent feature of the folklore of the Roman world and subsequently that of the Latin West and the Greek East. She was a woman that flew by night, either in an owl-like form or in the form of a projected soul, in order to penetrate homes by surreptitious means and thereby devour, blight or steal the new-born babies within them.

What Are the Humanities For? Willem B. Drees | Tilburg University, The Netherlands

This book offers scholars, administrators and the broader public an original proposal for the humanities. It argues that these disciplines, while serving society, are intrinsic to our humanity. It offers new bold ideas about how to think with greater humanistic coherence. • Develops a coherent understanding of the humanities, based on an explicit definition, as human efforts to understand human self-understandings and selfexpressions • This book is structured to make the argument more accessible for newcomers to the field and to those from other disciplinary backgrounds, whether within the university or in the public sphere • Utilizes examples from religious studies and theology to make clear why scholarship and engagement are often intertwined, and why its insights may be unwelcome to those studied, as threatening to their identity/ self-understanding. 202pp 4. 2021 9781108838412 Hardback GBP 24.99 / USD 32.99 eISBN 9781108974615

Moral Passion and Christian Ethics Robin Gill | University of Sussex

This book argues that moral passion and rational ethical deliberation are not enemies, and that moral passion often lurks behind, and is implicit within, many apparently rational ethical commitments. It also contends that while moral passion is a key component of truly selfless moral action, without rational ethical deliberation it can also be extremely dangerous. • Fills an important gap in the literature, where moral passion is often presumed but seldom explored at length • Uses a range of disciplines, such as cognitive science, moral psychology, sociobiology, Axial Age scholarship and, occasionally, neuroscience, alongside the more usual disciplines of moral philosophy, religious ethics, theology and biblical studies, sociology of religion, social anthropology, and science and religion • Includes texts from the Jewish Bible, the Qur’an, the Bhagavad Gita and the Buddhist Nikayas New Studies in Christian Ethics 241pp 3. 2021 9781316630075 Paperback GBP 22.99 / USD 29.99 9. 2017 9781107176829 Hardback GBP 81.00 / USD 105.99 eISBN 9781316817285

This Sacred Life Humanity’s Place in a Wounded World Norman Wirzba | Duke University, North Carolina

This Sacred Life offers a deep philosophical and religious articulation of the meaning and purpose of human life in a world wounded by environmental degradation and social injustice. It recasts human identity and vocation in terms of the healing and repair of the world and its communities. • Describes how the ideas of earth as creation, humans as creatures, and vocation as creativity inform each other and illuminate what we understand about the meaning of life • Provides a deep philosophical and theological treatment of the meanings of place and rootedness • Draws on a variety of disciplines (philosophy, theology, anthropology, natural sciences, and environmental humanities) to develop innovative insights 300pp 10. 2021 9781316515648 Hardback GBP 64.99 / USD 84.99 10. 2021 9781009012584 Paperback GBP 21.99 / USD 28.99 eISBN 9781009026185

Thoreau’s Religion Walden Woods, Social Justice, and the Politics of Asceticism Alda Balthrop-Lewis | Australian Catholic University, Melbourne

Contributes to scholarship in religious studies, political theory, English, environmental studies, and critical theory with the first reading of Thoreau’s religiously motivated politics. Against interpretations that promote quietist versions of environmentalism, Balthrop-Lewis shows how Walden can contribute to efforts for environmental justice. • Walden, Henry David Thoreau’s most famous work, is caricatured as a paean to wilderness, when it is actually about economic justice. This book at last sets that right • Readers rarely think of Walden as being about religion. This book shows how deeply invested Thoreau was in religious ideas, while also offering subtle, interdisciplinary readings of Thoreau that contribute to other fields like environmental studies and politics • Gives a new vital urgency to Thoreau’s legacy for environmental politics in a world fractured by racial and economic inequality • Develops the novel concept of ‘political asceticism,’ which describes practices of renunciation that contribute to the reformation of social and political life • Shows that rather than being asocial, areligious, and apolitical, Thoreau’s retreat to the woods was a reinvestment in an alternative vision of social, religious, and political life New Cambridge Studies in Religion and Critical Thought 256pp 1. 2021 9781108835107 Hardback GBP 75.00 / USD 99.99 eISBN 9781108891608

Theology Blood Theology Seeing Red in Body- and God-Talk Eugene F. Rogers, Jr | University of North Carolina, Greensboro

Offers the first focused investigation of why Christians invoke the language of blood to cooperate, sacrifice, grow and disagree, and of how this theological discourse seeps into wider debates in civic society. Religious arguments have significant societal consequences, Rogers contends; and secular citizens must do their best to understand them. • Blood is central to Christian theology and iconography yet underexplored in the literature: this book finally gives it the sustained treatment the topic deserves • Makes significant links between secularized and Christian use of blood-language, with profound and important implications for civil society and discourse • The author is one of the foremost creative theologians in the US, whose book Sexuality and the Christian Body is widely regarded as a classic and whose work in the area of theology and sex is widely cited as groundbreaking 254pp 3. 2021 9781108843287 Hardback GBP 29.99 / USD 39.99 eISBN 9781108909983

Sacred Modes of Being in a Postsecular World Andrew W. Hass | University of Stirling

How do we talk meaningfully about sacrality in contexts where conventional religious engagement has so often lost its power? This important interdisciplinary volume teaches us that the idea of the sacred takes on new potency when fully engaged with the creativity that happens across religion, literature, philosophy and the arts. • The question of how to speak ‘religiously’ in secular or post-secular contexts is one of the most important and urgent in contemporary religious studies: so this book is highly topical • Its roster of contributors – who include Paul Fiddes, Thomas Altizer, Mieke Bal, Graham Ward and Werner Jeanrond – reads like a ‘who’s who’ of leading thinkers modern theology • A big, expansive treatment of the topic which brings new depth to meanings of the sacred 288pp 9. 2021 9781316517918 Hardback GBP 75.00 / USD 99.99 eISBN 9781009047944
