Providing key readings as well as new approaches and cuttingedge work, it encourages a broader methodological and historical understanding. The editors' combined 30 years teaching experience ensure pedagogical features benefit both students and instructors: • Number of units match common semester syllabi structures • Each unit starts with an introduction and is followed by questions designed to encourage or enhance post-reading reflection and classroom discussion • A glossary of terms from the unit's readings is provided, as well as suggestions for further reading and investigation Lisle W. Dalton is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Hartwick College, USA. Eric Michael Mazur is Gloria & David Furman Professor of Judaic Studies, Professor of Religious Studies, and Director of American Studies, at Virginia Wesleyan College, USA.

The Rise of a Counter-culture The West has drawn upon Hinduism on a wide scale, yet the contribution of Hinduism to the counterculture of the 1960s has not been analysed in full. Hinduism and the 1960s looks at the youth culture of the 1960s and early 1970s. Paul Oliver examines the origins of the 1960s counter-culture in the Beat movement of the 1950s and the lifestyle that was adopted, from living in ashrams to experimenting with drugs, sexual liberation, ayurvedic medicine and yoga. Analyzing the interaction between Hinduism and the West, each chapter contains a summary and further reading guidance, and a glossary is included at the end of the book. Hinduism and the 1960s is ideal reading for courses on Hinduism, Indian religions, and religion and popular culture. Dr Paul Oliver was formerly a lecturer at the University of Huddersfield, UK. He has published twenty books in the areas of religion, education and philosophy, seven of which have been translated into other languages.

Bloomsbury Studies in Religion and Popular Music Religion’s relationship to popular music has ranged from opposition to ‘the Devil’s music’ to an embracing of modern styles and subcultures in order to communicate its ideas and defend its values. Bloomsbury Studies in Religion and Popular Music is a multi-disciplinary series that aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the issues and the relationships between religion and popular music.

Christian Metal

Religion in Hip Hop

History, Ideology, Scene

Mapping the New Terrain

Marcus Moberg

Edited by Monica R. Miller, Anthony B. Pinn & Bernard 'Bun B' Freeman

Christian metal has always defined itself in contrast to its non-Christian, secular counterpart, yet it stands out from nearly all other forms of contemporary Christian music through its unreserved use of metal’s main musical, visual, and aesthetic traits. Christian metal is a rare example of a direct combination between evangelical Christianity and an aggressive and highly controversial form of popular music and its culture. Christian Metal: History, Ideology, Scene is the first full exploration of the phenomenon of Christian metal music, its history, main characteristics, development, diversification, and key ideological traits from its formative years in the early 1980s to the present day. Marcus Moberg situates it in a wider international evangelical cultural environment, accounts for its diffusion on a transnational scale, and explores what religious meanings and functions Christian metal holds for its own musicians and followers. Engaging with wider debates on religion, media and popular culture, Christian Metal: History, Ideology and Scene is a much-needed resource in the study of religion and popular music.

Over the past two decades, numerous disciplines have taken up hip hop culture for its intellectual weight and contributions to the cultural life and self-understanding of the United States. More recently, the academic study of religion has given hip hop culture more critical attention, yet this conversation is often limited to discussions of hip hop and traditional understandings of religion. Religion in Hip Hop provides an important step in advancing this new field and features 14 original contributions. The Preface is written by one of the most prolific and founding scholars of this area of study, Michael Eric Dyson, and the inclusion of and collaboration with Bernard 'Bun B' Freeman fosters a perspective internal to Hip Hop and encourages conversation between artists and academics. Monica R. Miller is Assistant Professor of Religion & Africana Studies, Director of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Lehigh University, USA. Anthony B. Pinn is Agnes Cullen Arnold Professor of Humanities, Professor of Religious Studies, and Director of the Center for Engaged Research and Collaborative Learning (CERCL) at Rice University, USA.

Marcus Moberg is Academy of Finland Postdoctoral Researcher in Comparative Religion at Abo Akademi University in Turku, Finland.

Bernard "Bun B" Freeman is an American rapper, songwriter and CERCL Distinguished Visiting Lecturer at Rice University, USA.

Documentary as Exorcism

Silver Screen Buddha

Resisting the Bewitchment of Colonial Christianity

Buddhism in Asian and Western Film

Robert Beckford Documentary-maker Robert Beckford reflects on his art and how he navigates between theology and visual culture as an academic, activist and practitioner. Documentary as Exorcism is an interdisciplinary study that builds upon the insights of postcolonial studies, critical race theory, theological and religious studies and media and film studies to showcase the role of documentary film as a system capable of registering complex theological ideas while pursuing the authentic aims of documentary filmmaking. Beckford marries the concepts of ‘theology as visual practice’ and ‘theology as political engagement’ to develop a new mode of documentary film-making that embeds emancipation from oppression in its aesthetic. Robert Beckford is Reader in Theology and Society at Canterbury Christ Church University, UK and is the author of a number of books in the field of religion, popular culture and politics, including God of the Rahtid (2003) and Jesus Dub (2006). He has presented numerous documentaries in the UK for the BBC and Channel 4 and gained a BAFTA in 2001 for diversity in educational broadcasting.

Sharon A. Suh How do contemporary films depict Buddhists and Buddhism? What aspects of the Buddhist tradition are these films keeping from our view? By repeatedly romanticizing the meditating monk, what kinds of Buddhisms and Buddhists are missing in these films and why? Silver Screen Buddha is the first book to explore the intersecting representations of Buddhism, race, and gender in contemporary films. Sharon A. Suh examines the cinematic encounter with Buddhism that has flourished in Asia and in the West in the past century – from images of Shangri-La in Frank Capra's 1937 Lost Horizon to Kim Ki-Duk's 2003 international box office success Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring. The book helps readers see that representations of Buddhism in Asia and in the West are fraught with political, gendered, and racist undertones. Silver Screen Buddha draws significant attention to ordinary lay Buddhism, a form of the tradition given little play in popular film. By uncovering the differences between a fictionalized, commodified, and exoticized Buddhism, Silver Screen Buddha brings to light expressions of the tradition that highlight laity and women, on the one hand, and Asian and Asian Americans, on the other.

Pamela Stewart & Andrew Strathern

Ritual has emerged as a major focus of academic interest. As a concept, the idea of ritual integrates the study of behavior both within and beyond the domain of religion. Written with the specific needs of students of religious studies in mind, this book surveys the field of ritual studies, looking at it both historically within anthropology and in terms of its contemporary relevance to world events. The authors are co-editors for the international Journal of Ritual Studies.

Capitalizing Religion Ideology and the Opiate of the Bourgeoisie Craig Martin "After reading this book, you will never again feel wholly comfortable talking about spirituality without also thinking about consumerism and its profound hold on our fictions, our fantasies, our ideologies, and our religions." Kathryn Lofton, Yale University, USA Increasingly people claim to be 'spiritual but not religious,' or to prefer 'individual religion' to 'organized religion.' While the topics of 'spirituality' and 'individual religion' are regularly treated as self-evident by the media and even some scholars of religion, Capitalizing Religion provides one of the first critical analyses of the phenomenon, arguing that these recent forms of spirituality are in many cases linked to capitalist ideology and consumer practices. Examining cases such as Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now, and Karen Berg's God Wears Lipstick, Craig Martin ultimately argues that so-called 'individual religion' is a religion of the status quo or, more critically, 'an opiate of the bourgeoisie.'

Community and Worldview among Paraiyars of South India 'Lived' Religion Anderson H. M. Jeremiah "A welcome addition to studies on the social and religious lives of Dalit Christians." David Mosse, University of London, UK Anderson H.M. Jeremiah provides a detailed ethnographic study of rural Paraiyar communities in South India. Through examining Paraiyar Christian communities, the author provides a comprehensive understanding of Paraiyar religious worldviews within the dominant Hindu religious worldview. In contrast to existing research, this volume places the Paraiyars within their wider social context, ascribed and achieved identity, religious symbolism and ritual and negotiation of social boundaries.

Religion, Material Culture and Archaeology Julian Droogan Religion, Material Culture and Archaeology offers a new understanding of the materiality of religion. By drawing on the field of archaeological theory and method, the relationship between religion and material culture is explored. It is argued that the material elements of religious life have been largely neglected by the discipline of religious studies, while at the same time religion has been traditionally seen as problematic for archaeologists. Why do we not talk of the discipline of the archaeology of religion, in the same way we do the anthropology of religion, or the sociology of religion? The volume considers the historical problems of approaching the material elements of religious life and bridges the methodological gap between religious studies and archaeology by proposing a new way of understanding the materiality of religion – as active, engaged and projecting a level of autonomous social agency. Finally, the critical examination of archaeological approaches to the materiality of religion is furthered through the consideration of nonarchaeological ways of examining the social roles that material culture plays in human life.

Redefining Shamanisms Spiritualist Mediums and Other Traditional Shamans as Apprenticeship Outcomes David Gordon Wilson "This is a rare and valuable field study of Spiritualism, more so because its author is both a practicing medium and a fine scholar of religion." Steven Engler, Mount Royal University, Canada Spiritualism and mediumship are often regarded as the product of lingering superstition in the Victorian era, and as having limited relevance in modern AngloAmerican society. This volume analyses the development of shamanism (communication with the spiritual world) as a concept within North American English-speaking scholarship, with particular focus on Mircea Eliade's influential cross-cultural presentation of shamanism. David Gordon Wilson demonstrates that Spiritualism is best understood as a traditional shamanism, as distinct from contemporary appropriations or neoshamanisms and offers fresh insights into the mechanisms that are key to sustaining mediumship as a social institution. David Gordon Wilson has lectured at the School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, UK.

Post-Materialist Religion Pagan Identities and Value Change in Modern Europe Mika T. Lassander "Post-Materialist Religion offers important advances in understanding how people’s value priorities and hence their religiosities change with changing societies from generation to generation." Graham Harvey, The Open University, UK Supported by original and extensive survey and interview data from Ireland, Finland and the UK, Post-Materialist Religion discusses the transformations of the individual's worldview in contemporary modern societies, and the role general societal value change plays in these. In doing so, Lassander brings into conversation sociological theories of secularisation and social-psychological theories of interpersonal relations, the development of morality, and the nature of basic human values.

Religion and the Inculturation of Human Rights in Ghana Abamfo Ofori Atiemo "This is a profound, original and timely work … Its conceptual and theoretical richness give it a significance far beyond Ghana." Paul Gifford, Emeritus Professor, University of London, UK It has been maintained that the secular nature of modern human rights makes them incompatible with the religious orientation of African and non-Western societies. However, in view of the resilience of religion in the global and local public sphere, it is important to explore how religion can contribute to the promotion and enjoyment of human rights. Based on fieldwork conducted in Ghana, Abamfo Ofori Atiemo here establishes a convergence between human rights and local religious and cultural values in African societies. Offering a new model for explaining the relation between religion and human rights, Religion and the Inculturation of Human Rights in Ghana offers a novel perspective on the links between global trends and local cultures underpinned by strong currents of religious ideas. Abamfo Ofori Atiemo is Senior Lecturer and Head of Department for the Study of Religions, University of Ghana, Legon.

Is God Back?

Contemporary Druidry

Reconsidering the New Visibility of Religion

A Native Tradition?

Edited by Titus Hjelm

Suzanne Owen & William Rathouse

Is God Back? Reconsidering the New Visibility of Religion examines the shifting boundary between religion and the public sphere in Europe and the Middle East. Asking what the 'new visibility of religion' means and challenging simplistic notions of living in a 'post-secular' age, the chapters explore how religion is contested and renegotiated in the public sphere – or rather, in different publics – and the effects of these struggles on society, state and religion itself. Whereas religion arguably never went away in the USA, the reemergence of public religion is a European phenomenon. Is God Back? provides timely case studies from Europe, as well as extending to the Middle East, where fledgling democracies are struggling to create models of governance that stem from the European secular model, but which need to be able to accommodate a much more public form of religiosity. Discussions include the new visibility of neo-Pagan and Native Faith groups in Europe, Evangelical Christians and Church teaching on sexuality in the UK, and Islamic social Movements in the Arab world. Drawing from empirical and theoretical research on religion and national identity, religion and media, church-state relationships, and religion and welfare, Is God Back? is a rich source for students and scholars interested in the changing face of public religion in the modern world, including those studying the sociology of religion, social policy, and theology.

The popular view of Druidry is that it is a peculiar, anachronistic pastime, of little relevance to society today. However, far removed from ancient or even Victorian representations, contemporary Druidry is positioning itself as an ‘indigenous religion' that responds to today's world. Contemporary Druidry has evolved considerably since its modern beginnings in 18th century England and in September 2010 The Druid Network was registered as a religious charity by the Charity Commission in the UK. Druid orders have long been representing themselves as the native or indigenous tradition of Britain, challenging existing definitions of ‘indigenous religion' as a kinship-based religion of first peoples.

Sacred and Secular Musics A Postcolonial Approach

Sex, Death and Witchcraft A Contemporary Pagan Festival Douglas Ezzy "It is exciting to see a scholar of Ezzy’s calibre grapple with these difficult issues." Shawn Arthur, Appalachian State University, USA Faunalia is a controversial Pagan festival with a reputation for being wild and emotionally intense. It lasts five days, 80 people attend, and the two main rituals run most of the night. Sex, Death and Witchcraft is a powerful application of relational theory to the study of religion and contemporary culture. It analyses Faunalia’s rituals in terms of recent innovations in the sociology of religion and religious studies that focus on relational etiquette, lived religion, embodiment and performance. Extensive extracts from interviews describe the rituals in participants’ own words. The book combines rich and evocative description of the rituals with careful analysis of the social processes that shape people’s experiences at this controversial Pagan festival.

Virinder S. Kalra "Virinder Kalra presents a remarkable abundance of original data on Sikh music, qawwali, and other genres in Pakistani and Indian Punjab, offering astute interpretive perspectives on these understudied genres and regional dynamics." Peter Manuel, City University, New York, USA Virinder S. Kalra explores examples of South Asian musics in various domains and traverses a new cartography of music in which the sacred and the secular overlap. Drawing on examples which include Qawaali, Kirtan and popular devotional genres, Sacred and Secular Musics offers new empirical material, as well as new insights into conceptualising religion and music, and the ways in which music performs sacredness and secularity. Its postcolonial approach brings Asia into the Western sacred/secular opposition, and provides a set of analytical tools to allow further exploration of non-western religious music. Virinder S.

The Crisis of Islamic Masculinities

Islamic Education in Britain

Amanullah De Sondy

New Pluralist Paradigms

"An original and rich contribution to the burgeoning literature on Islamic masculinities." Kecia Ali, Boston University, USA

Alison Scott-Baumann & Sariya Cheruvallil-Contractor

Discussions and debates surrounding Islamic masculinities are quickly finding their place in the study of Islam and Muslims. Now available in paperback, The Crisis of Islamic Masculinities makes a vital contribution to this emerging field. Rigid notions of masculinity are causing crisis in the global Islamic community. These are articulated from the Qur’an, its commentary, historical precedents and societal, religious and familial obligations. Some Muslims who don't agree with narrow constructs of manliness feel forced to consider themselves secular and therefore outside the religious community. In order to evaluate whether there really is only one valid, ideal Islamic masculinity, The Crisis of Islamic Masculinities explores key figures of the Qur’an and Indian-Pakistani Islamic history, and exposes the precariousness of tight constraints on Islamic manhood. Amanullah De Sondy is Assistant Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Miami, Florida, USA.

Sufis and Salafis in the Contemporary Age Edited by Lloyd Ridgeon Sufis and Salafis in the Contemporary Age explores the dynamics at play between what are usually understood as two very different forms of Islam, namely Sufism and Salafism. Sufism is commonly understood as the peaceful and mystical dimension of Islam whereas Salafism is perceived as strictly pietistic and moralist, and for some it conjures up images of violent manifestations of Islam. Of course these generalisations require more nuanced investigation, and this book provides a number of case studies from around the Islamic world to unpack the intricate relationship between the two. The diversity of the case studies that focus on Islamic groups in India, Iraq, Egypt, Morocco, Turkey and South East Europe reflect the multiplicity of relationships that exist between the Salafis and Sufis. The specific case studies are framed by an introduction that provides essential historical background and definitions of the terms, and also by general studies of the Sufi–Salafi relationship which enable the reader to focus on the large picture. This will be the first book to investigate the relationship between Sufism and Salafism in such a wide fashion, and includes chapters on traditional Sufis, as well as from those who consider that Sufism and Salafism are not necessarily contradictory.

The Western world often fears many aspects of Islam, without the knowledge to move forward. On the other hand, there are sustained and complex debates within Islam about how to live in the modern world with faith. Alison Scott-Baumann and Sariya Contractor-Cheruvallil here propose solutions to both dilemmas, with a particular emphasis on the role of women. Based on research conducted over 15 years, the educational needs within several groups of British Muslims were explored, resulting in the need to offer critical analysis of the provision for the study of classical Islamic Theology in Britain. Islamic Education in Britain responds to the dissatisfaction among many young Muslim men and women with the theological/secular split, and their desire for courses that provide combinations of these two strands of their lived experience as Muslim British citizens. Grounded in empirical research, the authors reach beyond the meta-narratives of secularization and orientalism to demonstrate the importance of the teaching and learning of classical Islamic studies for the promotion of reasoned dialogue, interfaith and intercultural understanding in pluralist British society.

Secularism, Theology and Islam The Danish Social Imaginary and the Cartoon Crisis of 2005 – 2006 Jennifer Elisa Veninga "This thorough analysis of the Cartoon Crisis [...] invites readers to a discussion of the many challenges confronting both the majority and minority´s social imaginary when daily life is forced to come face to face with cultural diversity and the presence of different religions." Jørgen Bæk Simonsen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Secularism, Theology and Islam offers a uniquely theological analysis of the historic Danish cartoon crisis of 2005-2006, in which the publication of 12 images of the Prophet Muhammad in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten ignited violent global protests. The crisis represents a politically, culturally, and religiously important event of the early 21st century, and Veninga explores the important question of why the cartoons were published in Denmark when they were and why this matters to the larger global community.

Suspensions: Contemporary Middle Eastern and Islamicate Thought This series interrupts standardized discourses involving the Middle East and the Islamicate world by introducing creative and emerging ideas. The incisive works included in this series provide a counterpoint to the reigning canons of theory, theology, philosophy, literature, and criticism through investigations of vast experiential typologies - such as violence, mourning, vulnerability, tension, and humour - in light of contemporary Middle Eastern and Islamicate thought.

On the Arab Revolts and the Iranian Revolution

Hostage Spaces of the Contemporary Islamicate World

Power and Resistance Today

Phantom Territoriality

Arshin Adib-Moghaddam

Dejan Lukic

"This is a book that is both empirically and theoretically rich ... It should be essential reading for anyone interested in the serious study of contemporary Middle Eastern politics, revolutions, and social movements." Mehran Kamrava, author of The Modern Middle East: A Political History since the First World War On the Arab Revolts and the Iranian Revolution is the first comparative analysis of two central political events that have altered our world forever: the Arab uprisings which started in Tunisia, and the Iranian revolution in 1979. Adib-Moghaddam demonstrates how contemporary forms of protest are changing our understanding about the way power and resistance function. In a theoretical tour de force which is substantiated with a range of primary material, he argues that acts of protest in Tehran to Cairo can be entirely linked to the same act in New York, London, Madrid and Athens. Arshin Adib-Moghaddam is Professor of Global Thought and Comparative Philosophies at SOAS, University of London, UK.

"An extended and highly original meditation on the ambiguous figure of the hostage in modern life." Faisal Devji, Reader in Modern South Asian History at the University of Oxford, UK How is hostage space constructed? In this age-long procedure found in conflicts around the world, strange forms of terror and intimacy arise, particularly in the contemporary Islamic cultures of Chechnya, Albania, and Bosnia. This book investigates the modes of desire and politics found in kidnapping, in order to reveal the voices of victims and kidnappers that often remain closed up. Dejan Lukic explores the spaces where hostages and hostage takers come into contact – spaces of accident, sacrifice, hope, and catastrophe – or, in other words, the spaces that announce utopias bound to fail. In this book, the figures of the victim, the terrorist, the sovereign, the resistance fighter and the witness – among others – emerge with a new face; one that will contribute to our understandings of what it means to act politically and ethically today.

Decolonial Horizons This book explores the Muslim question from a philosophical perspective, ranging in historical focus from early effects of colonialism to present day Arab Spring events. In doing so, it explores some of the philosophical assumptions that frame the way in which the rise of Muslim political identity throughout the planet presents challenges which are not only cultural and geopolitical but also conceptual.

In a series of reflections, Islamism as Philosophy teases out some of the complexities of the emergence of Muslim political identities, complexities which are often covered up by the latest screaming headline. This book argues that a world in which a quarter of the population seems increasingly conscious of its Musliminess cannot be peaceful, harmonious or just without careful attention being paid to the Muslim question.

Remaking Politics, Markets and Citizens in Turkey

Transgression and the Inexistent

Governing Through Smoke

Mehdi Belhaj Kacem

Ebru Kayaalp

Translated by P. Burcu Yalim

"With elegance, she encompasses the global phenomenon as a closely observed dynamic form, an affair of experts with profound effects on the commitments of states, while keeping 'local knowledge' a little offside, but still in a place of honor." George E. Marcus, University of California, USA Remaking Politics, Markets and Citizens in Turkey critically analyses the travel of neoliberal ideas, policies, experts and institutions from the West to Turkey. Through an ethnographic investigation of the newly established tobacco market, Ebru Kayaalp considers how they are being adopted and transformed in their new settings. The February 2001 crisis, the most severe economic downturn in the history of Turkey, generated an emergency situation in which a series of sweeping neoliberal policies were implemented to prop up the collapsed economy. To receive the necessary loans from the international financial institutions, the Turkish government hastily enacted a number of neoliberal laws, including the notorious tobacco law. Remaking Politics, Markets and Citizens in Turkey not only explores the repercussions of the new tobacco law, such as the establishment of a new regulatory institution, the emergence of contract farming and the privatization of the tobacco monopoly, thereby making a liberalized market, but also the smoking ban governing the bodies and spaces of Muslim citizens. Remaking Politics, Markets and Citizens in Turkey provides an innovative contribution to Middle Eastern studies, filling the gap for anthropological research in Muslim countries on local economic relations and their connections with the global economy.

A Philosophical Vocabulary

A contemporary philosopher of Tunisian origin, Mehdi Belhaj Kacem is here published in English for the first time. His new book, Transgression and the Inexistent: A Philosophical Vocabulary, is a comprehensive foray into Kacems' elaborate philosophical system in twenty-seven discreet chapters, each dedicated to a single concept. In each chapter, he explicates a critical re-thinking of ordinary lived experiences - such as desire, irony, play - or traditional philosophical ideas – such as catharsis, mimesis, techne – in light of 'the spirit of nihilism' that marks the contemporary human condition. Kacem gained notoriety in the domain of critical theory and his controversial break with his mentor and leading contemporary philosopher, Alain Badiou. Transgression and the Inexistent lays out the essential concepts of his philosophical system: it is the most complete and synthetic book of his philosophical work, as well as being one of the most provocative in its claims. As a Francophone author engaging with contemporary world thought, he is able to develop novel philosophical perspectives that reach beyond Islam or the Middle East, or the East/West binary. This is the book's first publication in any language, constituting a much-awaited first translation of Kacem into English. Mehdi Belhaj Kacem is a French-Tunisian philosopher, actor and writer. He has published over ten books within a period of as many years. P. Burcu Yalim is the translator of Foucault by Gilles Deleuze into Turkish.

Religion, Devotion and Medicine in North India

Sikhs Across Borders

The Healing Power of Sitala

Edited by Knut A. Jacobsen & Kristina Myrvold

Fabrizio M. Ferrari "After this fascinating study scholarship must henceforth recognise Sitala as a benevolent goddess whose compassion is invoked, primarily by female worshipers, for the protection of children." Alex McKay, Fellow of the International Institute for Asian Studies, The Netherlands This volume examines notions of health and illness in North Indian devotional culture, with particular attention paid to the worship of the goddess Sitala, the Cold Lady. Consistently portrayed in colonial and postcolonial literature as the ambiguous 'smallpox goddess', Sitala is here discussed as a protector of children and women, a portrayal that emerges from textual sources as well as material culture. Built on extensive fieldwork and a close textual analysis of sources in Sanskrit and vernacular languages (Hindi, Bhojpuri and Bengali) as well as on a rich bibliography on the struggle against smallpox in colonial and post-colonial India, the book reflects on the ambiguous nature of Sitala.

Jainism is the most nonviolent and austere religion in the world, and arguably the most difficult religion to practice. While lay Jains attempt to never harm humans or animals, the strict non-violence followed by highly revered monks and nuns also proscribes harm to any living being, even a microscopic organism. Jainism: A Guide for the Perplexed is a clear and thorough account of this fascinating tradition, providing an ideal guide to the important beliefs and practices in Jainism. Using scriptural narratives central to the Jain tradition, the author explores the innerlogic of how renouncers' and laypeople's practices depend on an intricate Jain worldview. Sherry Fohr is Associate Professor of Asian Religions and Chair of the Department of Religion and Philosophy at Converse College, South Carolina, USA.

Spirituality: A Guide for the Perplexed Philip Sheldrake "An invaluable resource that will empower those who wish to critically discuss spirituality in the academy, the public square or the temple."

Does spirituality mainly focus on spiritual experiences and practices or is it something more? Spirituality: A Guide for the Perplexed provides students with a reliable and comprehensive guide to 'spirituality' as an area of study, religiously, historically, philosophically and in the social sciences. Philip Sheldrake is Senior Research Fellow at the Cambridge Theological Foundation, UK, and Director at the Institute for the Study of Contemporary Spirituality at Oblate School of Theology, San Antonio, USA.

S cientific S tudies of R eligion : I nquiry and E xplanation

S cientific S tudies of R eligion : I nquiry and E xplanation Scientific Studies of Religion: Inquiry and Explanation Scientific Studies of Religion: Inquiry and Explanation publishes cutting-edge research in the new and growing field of scientific studies in religion. Its aim is to publish empirical, experimental, historical and ethnographic research on religious thought, behaviour, and institutional structures. The series works with a broad notion of 'scientific' that will include innovative work on understanding religion(s), both past and present. With an emphasis on the cognitive science of religion, the series includes complementary approaches to the study of religion, such as psychology and computer modelling of religious data. Titles seek to provide explanatory accounts for the religious behaviors under review, both past and present.

Religion in Science Fiction

The Mind of Mithraists

The Evolution of an Idea and the Extinction of a Genre

Historical and Cognitive Studies in the Roman Cult of Mithras

Steven Hrotic

Luther H. Martin

"This book teaches you not only about the important role writers of science fiction play in leading us to novel insights into religion, but also about the relationship between scientific and religious approaches to the world—and especially the usefulness of cognitive science in explaining the life of the imagination." E. Thomas Lawson, Editor, Journal of Cognition and Culture Hrotic investigates the history of the representations of religion in science fiction literature. In particular, the volume focuses on how the perception of 'religion' evolves from the 1920s to the end of the 20th century, and on changes in the perceived conflict between religion and science. This is the first book to attempt a history of the whole genre from a religious studies perspective. Steven Hrotic is a cognitive anthropologist, currently teaching and writing at the University of Vermont, USA.

"The prepared volume The Mind of Mithraists, covering many important and often neglected topics in the study of Mithraism, promises to be a book no scholar of ancient religions is allowed to ignore." Aleš Chalupa, Masaryk University, Czech Republic The Roman cult of Mithras was the most widely-dispersed and densely-distributed cult throughout the expanse of the Roman Empire from the end of the first until the fourth century AD, rivaling the early growth and development of Christianity during the same period. How was this non-centralized, non-hierarchical cult so faithfully transmitted through the Empire? The Minds of Mithraists addresses this question as well as explanations for the spread of Mithraism (and for its resistance in a few places). These investigations represent traditional historical methods as well as more recent studies employing the insights of the cognitive sciences, demonstrating that cognitive historiography is a valuable methodological tool.

The Attraction of Religion A New Evolutionary Psychology of Religion Edited by Jason Slone & James Van Slyke Religion is an evolutionary puzzle. It involves beliefs in counterfactual worlds and engagement in costly rituals. Yet religion is widespread across all human cultures and eras. This begs the question, why are so many people attracted to religion? In The Attraction of Religion, essays by leading scholars in evolutionary psychology show how religion may be adaptive because the commitments involved facilitate fitness-enhancing behaviours that promote reproduction, kinship, and social solidarity.Could it be that religion is wide-spread, at least in the modern world, because it helps to facilitate cooperative breeding? International contributors explore the philosophical and theoretical arguments for and against the use of costly signalling, sexual selection, and related theories to explain religion, and empirical findings that support or disconfirm such claims. The first book-length treatment that focuses specifically on costly signalling, sexual selection, and related evolutionary theories to explain religion, The Attraction of Religion will be a signal contribution to the field and will be of interest to researchers in the fields of religion and science, the psychology of religion, and anthropology of religion.

Reformation, Dissent and Diversity The Story of Scotland's Churches, 1560 1960 Andrew T.N. Muirhead This book examines and describes for the general reader the life and characteristics of the churches which flourished in Scotland between the Reformation and the mid20th century. It will help both amateur and professional historians to understand the different denominations, and provides background to, and context for, their own research. Church influence on society has been particularly strong in Scotland and church records are a major source of pre-1844 information, but no recent book deals adequately with the church background. Here, the author explores how churches developed in, and interacted with, society. An overview of the churches of Scotland from the Reformation to 1960 is followed by a brief examination of each denomination including doctrinal issues, worship, organization, social and demographic factors; mapping to show the geographical strengths of particular groups, and a brief guide to the records and sources that are available for each.

Purification Edited by Gerhard Marcel Martin & Katja Triplett The contributors to this volume discuss the great diversity of forms and meanings with respect to religious transformation in their respective fields of research. While invoking earlier debates within the study of religions and theology on the topic of ‘purification’ the studies in this volume penetrate further into the meaning and structure of religious transformation of mind and body in the religions of the world and open comparative perspectives on this topic.

Meditation and Culture The Interplay of Practice and Context Edited by Halvor Eifring Behind the stereotype of a solitary meditator closing his eyes to the world, meditation always takes place in close interaction with the surrounding culture. Meditation and Culture: The Interplay of Practice and Context explores cases in which the relation between meditative practice and cultural context is particularly complex. The internationally-renowned contributors discuss practices that travel from one culture to another, or are surrounded by competing cultures. They explore cultures that bring together competing practices, or that are themselves mosaics of elements of different origins. They seek to answer the question: What is the relationship between meditation and culture? The effects of meditation may arise from its symbolic value within larger webs of cultural meaning, as in the contextual view that still dominates cultural and religious studies. They may also be psychobiological responses to the practice itself, the cultural context merely acting as a catalyst for processes originating in the body and mind of the practitioner. Meditation and Culture gives no single definitive explanation, but taken together, the different viewpoints presented point to the complexity of the relationship. Halvor Eifring is Professor of Chinese at the University of Oslo, Norway. He teaches Chinese language, literature and culture and directs an international research project on the cultural histories of meditation. He is General Secretary of Acem International School of Meditation.

Place, Ecology and the Sacred

The Spirit and the Letter

The Moral Geography of Sustainable Communities

A Tradition and a Reversal

Michael S. Northcott Place, Ecology and the Sacred demonstrates how the loss of a sense of place is of central importance to the modern ecological crisis. Bringing together and further developing some of his groundbreaking work on the concept of parochial ecology, or place-based environmentalism, Northcott argues that the recovery of a sense of place – and of governmental structures and moral practices that map onto and arise out of place-specific communities – is essential to the resolution of the ecological crisis. Place, Ecology and the Sacred argues for an ecclesial recovery of a sense of place as a foil to the continuing and increased mobility of the modern world. Michael S. Northcott is Professor of Ethics at Edinburgh University, UK.

Edited by Paul S. Fiddes & Günter Bader "Leading theologians from Germany and the UK explore the life and after-life of this Pauline provocation, from exegesis and history to postmodern and remodern interpretations, to entangle the reader in an extraordinarily creative process whereby the letter becomes the embodied inspiration and the spirit flows not unwritten." Markus Vinzent, King’s College London Paul’s statement that ‘letter kills but the spirit gives life’ [2 Corinthians 3.6] has had an extraordinary impact on Christian thought through the ages. It has been read both as affirming the saving power of the new covenant in comparison to the old, and as a key to hidden, spiritual meanings in the text of scripture. It is, however, an ambiguous phrase, followed by a tangled story. This book explores the Pauline distinction both in its original context and in its aftermath in the early church, the Reformation and modern Biblical Studies, as well as considering a postmodern reversal. Paul S. Fiddes is Professor of Systematic Theology in the University of Oxford, and is Director of Research at Regent's Park College, Oxford, UK. Günter Bader was until recently Professor for Systematic Theology in the Protestant Theology Faculty of the University of Bonn, Germany.
