How power hijacked a parable Nick Spencer, Director of Theos, UK Nick Spencer sets out to rescue an innocent parable, mugged for political ends, ignored by passers-by, and then left for half-dead at the edge of the English language. The parable of the Good Samaritan has been used by almost every major British politician over recent years – from Theresa May and Tony Blair to Margaret Thatcher and Jeremy Corbyn. What does this say about Christianity and politics today, about language and oratory? Spencer, described by the Economist as ‘like a prophet crying in the post-modern wilderness’, suggests that this political Samaritan tells us more about ourselves than we care to recognise.

Bloomsbury Studies in Religion and Popular Music Series Editors: Christopher Partridge, Lancaster University, UK & Sara Cohen, Liverpool University, UK There are few genres of contemporary popular music that have not dealt with ideas and themes related to religion, the spiritual and the paranormal. Bloomsbury Studies in Religion and Popular Music is a multi-disciplinary series that contributes to a comprehensive understanding of these issues and the relationships between religion and popular music.

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Popular Music Edited by Christopher Partridge, University of Lancaster, UK & Marcus Moberg, Abo Akademi University, Finland "All scholars and students in the field of religion and popular music, as well as the educated public, have been waiting patiently and eagerly for a volume like this. Whether one is an enthusiast of Christian rock, Jewish Klezmer, Islamic Qawwali, Indian and Bollywood popbhajan, Tibetan chant, jazz and blues, the Beatles, or Madonna and Beyoncé, here is the dream tool to access all the new and evolving trends. On top of that, the latest methods of academic research in religious studies, theology, ethnomusicology, and sociology, are applied to key genres, popular subcultures, and lesser-known artistic expressions–a winning combination!"

The Political Samaritan

Mysticism, Ritual and Religion in Drone Metal Owen Coggins, The Open University, UK This is the first extensive scholarly study of drone metal and its religious dimensions, drawing on three years of ethnographic participant observation at more than 300 performances, 74 interviews with listeners and other participants, survey data, and analysis of sound recordings. Contributing to the field of religion and popular music as well as popular culture more generally, the author argues that the marginality of the genre culture, together with the extremely abstract sound produces a focus on the listeners’ engagement with sound, and that this in turn creates a space for the open-ended exploration of religiosity in extreme states of bodily consciousness.

U2 and the Religious Impulse Take Me Higher Edited by Scott Calhoun, Cedarville University, USA U2 and the Religious Impulse examines indications in U2’s music and performances that the band works at the conscious and subconscious levels as artists who focus on matters of the spirit, religious traditions and a life guided by both belief and doubt. U2 is known for a career of stirring songs, landmark performances and for its interest in connecting with fans to reach a higher power to accomplish greater purposes. U2 surprises many listeners who examine its lyrics and concert themes by having a depth of interest in matters of human existence more typically found in literature, philosophy and theology.

Mortality and Music Popular Music and the Awareness of Death Christopher Partridge, University of Lancaster, UK "Partridge draws from an impressive array of songs, artists, and genres ... Original, engagingly written and full of ideas to consider carefully." BASR Bulletin The evidence of death and dying has been removed from the everyday lives of most Westerners. Yet we constantly live with the awareness of our vulnerability as mortals. Drawing on a range of genres, bands and artists, Mortality and Music examines the ways in which popular music has responded to our awareness of the inevitability of death and the anxiety it can evoke.

Alternative Salvations

Edited by Curtis Coats, Millsaps College, USA & Monica M. Emerich, University of Colorado, USA

Edited by Hannah Bacon, Wendy Dossett & Steve Knowles, all of University of Chester, UK

This book explores how and why media become the site and source of spiritual expressions that address the mundane or everydayness of our lives. Including international case studies and essays from leading scholars such as Stewart Hoover and Graham Harvey, the book examines the ways and the places in which people have employed media and information technologies to weave spiritual meaning throughout the demands and pastimes of their lives. Topics range from food and sex to spiritual tourism. This is a must-read for anyone working in the intersection of media, religion or spirituality, and culture.

Confucianism in China An Introduction Tony Swain, formerly of University of Sydney, Australia This accessible history of Confucianism, or the ‘Way of the Ru’, emphasizes the religious dimensions of the tradition. It clearly explains the tradition's unique and subtle philosophical ideals as well as the ‘arts of the Ru’ whereby seemingly simple acts such as reading, sitting quietly, good manners, and attending to family and state responsibilities, became ways of ultimate transformation. This introduction is suitable for anyone wishing to understand a tradition that shaped imperial China and which is now increasingly swaying Chinese religious, philosophical, political, and economic developments.

Engaging the Sacred and the Secular

Theology

"Alternative Salvations challenges the static orthodox Christian notions of salvation, both in the past and present, through the exploration of alternative theologies and lived experiences."

Part one draws on contemporary salvation narratives showing how current cultural forms, social practices and secular discourses are influenced by, or are interpreted through, the lens of religious and theological accounts of salvation. Part two explores alternative accounts of salvation rooted in religious traditions.

Religious Humor in Evangelical Christian and Mormon Culture Elisha McIntyre, University of Sydney, Australia Incorporating original data from textual analysis and the voices of religious comedians, the book critically analyzes the experiences of believers who appreciate that their faith is not necessarily a barrier to their laughter. The author argues that there are specific characteristics that indicate a unique kind of humor that may be called ‘religious humor’. Through an examination of religious humor found in stand-up comedy, television sitcoms, comedy film and satirical cartoons, and drawing on interview and survey data, the book outlines the main considerations that some Christians take into account when choosing their comedy entertainment.

Christianity and Confucianism Christopher Hancock, Oxford House, UK As the world reckons with China's rise and China reflects on her global future, this new crosscultural study examines key themes shaping the faith and practice of modern China and a culturally Christianized world. Written to inspire the interested and challenge the narrow-minded, this comprehensive introduction to biblical Christianity and the Confucian classics is a modern re-working of an ancient conversation. It expounds texts that have shaped quite different cultures and traditions. It compares and contrasts Christianity and Confucianism through a study of eight major themes. Chinese drawn to Christianity will find tools to integrate new perspectives with ancient traditions.

The Interplay of Practice and Context

Buddhism, Education and Politics in Burma and Thailand

Edited by Halvor Eifring, University of Oslo, Norway

From the Seventeenth Century to the Present

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?

Shinto, Nature and Ideology in Contemporary Japan

Mountain Mandalas

Making Sacred Forests

Allan G. Grapard, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA

Aike P. Rots, University of Oslo, Norway This is the first systematic study of Shinto’s environmental turn. The book traces the development in recent decades of the idea of Shinto as an ‘ancient nature religion,’ and a resource for overcoming environmental problems. The volume shows how these ideas gradually achieved popularity among scientists, priests, Shinto-related new religious movements and, eventually, the conservative shrine establishment. Aike P. Rots argues that central to this development is the notion of chinju no mori: the sacred groves surrounding many Shinto shrines. Today the term has come to be extended to any sort of shrine land, signifying not only historical and ecological continuity but also abstract values such as community spirit.

Sherman A. Jackson, University of Southern California, USA Introducing undergraduate students to Islamic law, this accessible textbook does not presume legal or technical knowledge. Drawing on a comparative approach, it encourages students to think through the issues of the application of Islamic law in majoritarian and minority Islamic legal contexts, including the USA, Saudia Arabia, Egypt and Malaysia.

Islamic Education in Britain New Pluralist Paradigms Alison Scott-Baumann, SOAS, University of London, UK & Sariya Cheruvallil-Contractor, Coventry University, UK Islamic Education in Britain responds to the dissatisfaction among many young Muslim men and women with the theological/secular split in education, 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.

The Spirituality of Responsibility Fethullah Gulen and Islamic Thought Simon Robinson, Leeds Beckett University, UK Turkish Islamic leader Fethullah Gülen offers a distinctive view of responsibility, which is explored here for the first time. Simon Robinson shows how Gülen’s writings, influenced by both orthodox Islam and the Sufi tradition, contribute a dynamic, holistic and interactive view of responsibility which locates personal identity, agency and freedom in plural relationships. This book is an important contribution both to the theological and philosophical debate about responsibility but also to the practice of responsibility focused in creative action, debates in business and contemporary society about responsible governance and enterprise.

Merin Shobhana Xavier, Ithaca College, USA This book sheds light on one of the major Sufi movements in North America, Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, and the first to establish a Sufi shrine in America. Through extensive ethnographic data, the author shows that the followers of Bawa in the United States and Sri Lanka shared far more similarities in the relationships they formed with spaces, Bawa, and Sufism than differences, which challenges the accepted conceptualization of Sufism in North America as having a distinct “Americanness.” These findings challenge scholars to re-consider how Sufism is developing in the modern American landscape as well as globally.

Religion and the Global City Edited by David Garbin, University of Kent, UK & Anna Strhan, University of Kent, UK This is the first book to explore how religious movements and actors shape and are shaped by aspects of global city dynamics. The editors bring together a wealth of ethnographically rich and vivid case studies in a diversity of urban settings, in both Global North and Global South contexts. These case studies are drawn from both ‘classical’ global cities such as New York, London and Paris, and also from large cosmopolitan metropolises such as Beirut, Bangalore, Rio de Janeiro, Lagos, Tel Aviv and Hong Kong – which all constitute powerful sites within the informational, cultural and moral networked economies of contemporary globalization.

Stereotyping Religion Critiquing Clichés Edited by Brad Stoddard & Craig Martin Our culture is full of popular stereotypes about religion, both positive and negative. Many people uncritically assume that religion is intrinsically violent, or that religion makes people moral, or that it is simply "bullshit". This concise volume tackles 10 of these stereotypes, addresses why scholars of religion find them to be cliched, describes their origins, and explains the social or political work they rhetorically accomplish in the present. Written in an easy and accessible style, Stereotyping Religion: Critiquing Cliches is suitable for anyone looking to clear away unsophisticated assumptions in preparation for more critical studies.

Christian Tourism, Myth-making and Identity Formation Edited by Erin Roberts, University of South Carolina, USA & Jennifer Eyl, Tufts University, USA Religious museums, theme parks, and guided tours are often viewed as providing historical and doctrinal education, wholesome entertainment, or sacred space for participants.

Case studies include Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum in Kentucky, the Bible Walk Museum in Ohio, Christian Zionist Tours in Israel and the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem. The book contributes to growing research which explains religious practice in recognizable, human terms.

The Roman Mithras Cult

Religious Evolution and the Axial Age

A Cognitive Approach

From Shamans to Priests to Prophets

Olympia Panagiotidou, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece & Roger Beck, University of Toronto, Canada

Stephen K. Sanderson, University of California, Riverside, USA

The first full cognitive history of an ancient religion. In this groundbreaking book Beck and Panagiotidou show how cognitive historiography can supplement our historical knowledge and deepen our understanding of past cultural phenomenon. This study identifies the cognitive and psychological processes which took place in the minds and bodies of the Mithraists during their initiation and participation in the mysteries.

Shows that over the past 10 millennia an overall evolutionary sequence can be observed, running from the spirit- and shaman-dominated religions of small-scale societies to the archaic religions of the ancient civilizations and then to the salvation religions of the Axial Age. Sanderson argues that new religions emphasizing salvation and release from suffering—Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism—arose to cope with the changing religious needs.

SOCIOLOGY OF RELIGION

The Spiritual Virtuoso

Religion and Extremism

Personal Faith and Social Transformation

Rejecting Diversity

Marion Goldman, University of Oregon, USA & Steven Pfaff, University of Washington, Seattle, USA

Douglas Pratt, University of Waikato, New Zealand

Goldman and Pfaff define a spiritual virtuoso as someone who works toward personal purification and a sense of holiness with the same perseverance and intensity that virtuosi strive to excel in the arts or athletics. Since the Protestant Reformation, activist virtuosi have come together in large and small social movements to redefine the meanings of spiritual practice, support religious equality, and transform a wide range of social institutions. Tracing the impact of spiritual virtuosi from the 16th century Reformation through the 19th century Antislavery Movement to the 20th century Human Potential Movement and beyond, this book explores how personal virtuosity can become a social force.

Douglas Pratt addresses the question of religion and extremism, focussing on the three so-called ‘monotheistic’ religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Religion and Extremism: Rejecting Diversity argues that a rejection of Absolutism, results in extreme behaviours and increasingly, in hardening social and religious responses. Arguing that ‘Absolutism’ reveals an underlying dynamic in which religions may manifest extremism, the author concludes with a discussion of contemporary mutual extremism and how extremism may be countered.

Religion and Space

West Indian Pentecostals

Competition, Conflict and Violence in the Contemporary World

Living Their Faith in New York and London

Lily Kong, National University of Singapore, Singapore & Orlando Woods, Asian Strategies, Singapore Extensive case studies examine different instances of competition over religious space, including The Temple Mount/Haram el-Sharif in Jerusalem, loudspeakers in mosques, and the armed occupation of religious spaces in India, Pakistan and Thailand. Globalization is also shown to have given rise to new spaces of religious competition and conflict, and the authors explore how globalization has caused understandings of space to evolve in line with the growing focus on transnational networks and flows, and the globalisation of religious movements.

Janice A. McLean-Farrell, City Seminary of New York, USA This is a significant in-depth study that explores the cultural context of the religious experience of West Indian immigrant communities. Whereas most studies to date have focussed on how immigrants settle in their new home contexts, Janice A. McLean-Farrell argues for a more comprehensive perspective that takes into account the importance of religion and the role of both ‘home’ and the ‘host’ contexts in shaping immigrant lives in the Diaspora. Using case studies from the cities of New York and London, the book tests existing theories and concepts on the interface of religion and immigration and makes important contributions to the study of Pentecostalism.

Six-Volume Set This set contains six facsimiles from our imprints T&T Clark, The Athlone Press, Sheffield Academic Press and Continuum and focuses on comparing the Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The volumes in this collection compare the different religions based on their prophets, their teachings and cultural influence, but also in how they face the challenge of an increasingly secular world. They are concerned with the similarities between the religions they discuss rather than their differences, hence supporting the view that religions should not be pitted against each other but instead be understood as faiths favouring understanding and togetherness. All titles are available as a set or as individual volumes.

Religious Studies: Comparative Religion - Bloomsbury Academic Collections

The Philosophy of Knowledge: A History Four-Volume Set Edited by Stephen Hetherington, University of New South Wales, Australia The first in-depth survey of the history of knowledge in Western philosophy. The Philosophy of Knowledge: A History presents the history of one of Western philosophy’s greatest challenges: understanding the nature of knowledge. Divided chronologically into four volumes, it follows conceptions of knowledge that have been proposed, defended, replaced, and proposed anew by ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary philosophers. Each volume centres around three key questions: what conceptions of knowledge have been offered? Which have shaped epistemology in particular and philosophy in general? How is knowledge conceived by philosophers now? Overseen by an international team of leading philosophers and featuring 50 speciallycommissioned chapters, this is a major collection on one of philosophy’s defining topics.
