Close Reading, Critical Thinking, and Comparison

Spirituality without God

Eugene V. Gallagher, Connecticut College, USA & Joanne Maguire, University of North Carolina, USA Studying religion in college or university? This book shows you how to perform well on your course tests and examinations, write successful papers, and participate meaningfully in class discussions. You’ll learn new skills and also enhance existing ones, which you can put into practice with in-text exercises and assignments. Written by two award-winning instructors, this book identifies the close reading of texts, material culture, and religious actions as the fundamental skill for the study of religion. It shows how critical analytical thinking about religious actions and ideas is founded on careful, patient, yet creative “reading” of religious stories, rituals, objects, and spaces.

A Global History of Thought and Practice Peter Heehs, Idependent Scholar, India This book reminds us that the West does not hold patents on agnosticism or atheism and is the first survey of godless spirituality, beginning in ancient India, China and Greece. Heehs explores systems of religion or philosophy that rejected the idea of a creative God, including Jainism and Buddhism, Confucianism and Daoism, and Epicureanism and Scepticism. It is an accessible counterbalance to theistic narratives that have dominated the field, as well as an introduction to modes of spiritual thought and practice that may appeal to people who have no interest in God.

A Methodological Introduction to Key Empirical Studies Edited by D. Jason Slone, Georgia Southern University, USA & William W. McCorkle Jr., Masaryk University, Czech Republic Introduces students to key empirical studies conducted over the past 25 years in this new and rapidly expanding field. Each chapter is written by a leading international scholar, and summarizes in nontechnical language the original empirical study conducted by the scholar. No prior or statistical knowledge is presumed, and studies included range from the classic to the more recent and innovative cases. Students will learn about the theories that cognitive scientists have employed to explain recurrent features of religiosity across cultures and historical eras, how scholars have tested those theories, and what the results of those tests have revealed and suggest.

Academia, Post-truth and the Quest for Scientific Knowledge Leonardo Ambasciano, Masaryk University, Czech Republic

Language, Cognition, and Biblical Exegesis Interpreting Minds

Edited by Ronit Nikolsky, University of Groningen, the Netherlands, István Czachesz, University of Tromsø, Norway, Tamás Biró, ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary & Frederick S. Tappenden, Concordia University of Edmonton, Canada

An Unnatural History of Religions provides an overview of the origins, development, and critical issues concerning the history of religion and its relationship with science. The book explores the ideological biases, logical fallacies, and unwarranted beliefs that surround the scientific foundations in the history of religion, situating it amongst today's 'post truth' culture. The most important topics and paradigm shifts in the field, such as theology, poststructuralism and cognitive science, are taken into consideration chronologically, each time with case studies, including shamanism, gender biases, ethnocentrism and biological evolution.

This book fills the gap in research on religious texts and narratives in the cognitive science of religion. It presents a systematic attempt to redefine the interpretation of religious texts in a cognitive framework, providing concrete textual analysis on a broad selection of biblical passages. The editors explore the ways that cognitive approaches to language and textual interpretation expand the disciplines of the cognitive science of religion and biblical studies.

Interreligious Comparisons in Religious Studies and Theology Comparison Revisited

Edited by Perry Schmidt-Leukel, University of Muenster, Germany & Andreas Nehring, University of Erlangen, Germany "Truly refreshing … represents a very important and much needed contribution to methodological questions in the study of religions, and I will be certain to use it in my graduate course on history and method in comparative religion." Theological Studies

RELIGIOUS STUDIES: THEORY AND METHOD

An Unnatural History of Religions

This book argues that after decades of critique, interreligious comparison deserves to be reconsidered, reconstructed and reintroduced in the study of religion.

Critiquing Religion: Discourse, Culture, Power Series Editor: Craig Martin Critiquing Religion: Discourse, Culture, Power publishes works that historicize both religions and modern discourses on 'religion' that treat it as a unique object of study. Using diverse methodologies and social theories, volumes in this series view religions and discourses on religion as commonplace rhetorics, authenticity narratives, or legitimating myths which function in the creation, maintenance, and contestation of social formations. Critiquing Religion: Discourse, Culture, Power provides a unique home for reflexive, critical work in the field of religious studies.

French Populism and Discourses on Secularism Per-Erik Nilsson, Uppsala University, Sweden

Takes a religious studies approach to French contemporary populism, and uses the discourse on secularism as a lens to do so. This book provides insight into the French and European far-right and radical-nationalist ideology and activism, and contributes to our understanding of the complex relationship between religion and the state in contemporary Europe and beyond. The author draws on the web-based journal Riposte Laïque, a central actor in French radical-nationalist and anti-Islamic web and street based activism, to show the French far-right’s recent appropriation of secularism, as well as debates on secularism, national identity and Islam in France more broadly.

Reframing the Masters of Suspicion Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud

Andrew Dole, Amherst College, USA This book revisits Paul Ricoeur’s well-known classification of Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Sigmund Freud as the “masters of suspicion.” In doing so, Andrew Dole provides a thought-provoking critique for critical religious studies scholars who draw on their work, as well as for anyone working in critical theory more broadly. Dole provides an alternative account of the method common to Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud. Whereas Ricoeur saw suspicion as a mode of interpretation, this book argues that suspicion is better understood as a mode of explanation.

Kabbalah: Secrecy, Scandal and the Soul Harry Freedman

This book relates the history of Kabbalah, from its earliest origins until the present day. We trace Kabbalah’s development, from the 2nd century visionaries who visited the divine realms and brought back tales of their glories and splendours, through the unexpected arrival of a book in Spain that appeared to have lain unconcealed for over a thousand years, and on to the mystical city of Safed where souls could be read and the history of heaven was an open book. This concise, readable and thoughtful history of Kabbalah tells its story as it has never been told before.

Gods and Rollercoasters

Religion in Theme Parks Worldwide Crispin Paine, UCL, UK This worldwide study examines how religion gets into theme-parks – as mission, as an aspect of culture, as fable, and by chance. The author analyses religion in theme parks throughout the world, and looks how it relates to modernism, popular culture, right-wing politics, nationalism, and the rise of the global middle class. Drawing on examples from around the world including the USA, India, China, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Germany, South America, Russia and Australia and exploring religious traditions including Christianity, Daoism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam, this an innovative addition to the study of religion, sociology, anthropology and popular culture.

Spirituality, Corporate Culture, and American Business The Neoliberal Ethic and the Spirit of Global Capital

James Dennis LoRusso, Princeton University, USA While many voices celebrate efforts to introduce “spirituality in the workplace” as a recent positive innovation, LoRusso argues that workplace spirituality is in fact more closely aligned with neoliberal ideologies that serve the interests of private wealth and undermine the power of working people. LoRusso traces how this new moral language of business emerged as part of the larger shift away from the post-New Deal welfare state towards today’s global market-oriented social order. Drawing on cultural history as well as case studies from New York City and San Francisco, this book argues that religion reveals much about work, corporate culture, and business in contemporary America.

Religious Pluralism and the City Inquiries into Postsecular Urbanism

Edited by Helmuth Berking, TU Darmstadt, Germany, Silke Steets, Independent Researcher & Jochen Schwenk, TU Darmstadt, Germany "Anyone interested in a multitude of pressing contemporary sociological and political issues will find this book both intriguing and of great value." Mitchell Cohen, City University of New York, USA The book argues that we are seeing the pluralization of religion, the co-existence of different religious worldviews, and the simultaneity of secular and religious institutions that shape everyday life. These particular constellations of "religious pluralism" are, above all, played out in cities.

Peter L. Berger and the Sociology of Religion

50 Years after The Sacred Canopy Edited by Titus Hjelm, University College London, UK How and why did The Sacred Canopy by Peter L. Berger (1929–2017) become a classic? How have scholars used Berger’s ideas over the past 50 years since its publication? How are these ideas relevant to the future of the sociology of religion? This book explores these questions by providing a broad overview as well as more focused studies of Berger’s work. The chapters discuss both aspects of Berger’s classic text: the ‘systematic’ sociological theorizing on religion, and the ‘historical’ theorizing on secularization. The articles also critically examine Berger’s about-face regarding secularization and the suggested ‘secularization’ of the world.

Religion in the Age of Obama

Edited by Juan M. Floyd-Thomas, Vanderbilt Divinity School, USA & Anthony B. Pinn, Rice University, USA Shows that the years of the Obama presidency served as a watershed moment of significant reorganization of the role of religion in national public life. This is a timely contribution to debates on religion, race and public life in the United States. Topics include how Obama has employed religious rhetoric in response to both international and domestic events, his attempt to inhabit a kind of Blackness that comforts and reassures rather than challenges White America, the limits of Christian hospitality within U.S. immigration policy and the racialization of Islam in the U.S. national imagination.

Intolerant Religion in a TolerantLiberal Democracy Yossi Nehushtan, Keele University, UK

This book aims to examine and critically analyse the role that religion has and should have in the public and legal sphere. The main purpose of the book is to explain why religion, on the whole, should not be tolerated in a tolerant-liberal democracy and to describe exactly how it should not be tolerated – mainly by addressing legal issues.

Bloomsbury Studies in Material Religion Series Editors: Amy Whitehead, Birgit Meyer, Crispin Paine, David Morgan, & S. Brent Plate Bloomsbury Studies in Material Religion is the first book series dedicated exclusively to studies in material religion. Within the field of lived religion, the series is concerned with the material things with which people do religion, and how these things – objects, buildings, landscapes – relate to people, their bodies, clothes, food, actions, thoughts and emotions. The series engages and advances theories in 'sensuous' and 'experiential' religion, as well as informing museum practices and influencing wider cultural understandings with relation to religious objects and performances.

Figurations and Sensations of the Unseen in Judaism, Christianity and Islam Contested Desires

Edited by Birgit Meyer, University of Utrecht, the Netherlands & Terje Stordalen, University of Oslo, Norway While Judaism, Christianity and Islam all feature theological programs which prefer the spoken, sung, or written word over pictures and figurations as representations of the deity, this book shows that actual practices in these religious traditions are more complex. Examples are drawn from around the world, including images of God in TurcoPersian Painting, modern Church art, and visual images in medieval Jewish culture.

Materiality and Place in Italy

Francesca Ciancimino Howell, Naropa University, USA Food, Festival and Religion explores how communities in northern Italy find a restorative sense of place through foodways, costuming, and other forms of materiality. Festivals explored by the author vary geographically from the northern rural corners of Italy to the fashionable heart of urban Milan. The origins of these lived religious events range from Christian to vernacular Italian witchcraft and contemporary Paganism, which is rapidly growing in Italy. Through extensive ethnographic research and fieldwork data, this book demonstrates that popular Italian festivals are ritualized, liminal spaces, and contributes greatly to the fields of religious, performance and ritual studies UK August 2018 • US August 2018 • 224 pages • 10 bw illus HB 9781350020863 • £85.00 / $114.00 Individual eBook 9781350020870 Library eBook 9781350020887 Series: Bloomsbury Studies in Material Religion • Bloomsbury Academic

Dynamism and the Ageing of a Japanese 'New' Religion Transformations and the Founder

Erica Baffelli, The University of Manchester, UK & Ian Reader, The University of Manchester, UK This book examines the trajectory and development of the Japanese religious movement Agonshu, commonly portrayed in Japan as a 'new religion', and its charismatic founder Kiriyama Seiyu. Based on field research spanning 30 years, it examines Agonshu from when it first captured attention in the 1980s with its spectacular rituals and use of media technologies, through a period of stagnation, until its response to the 2016 death of its founder. By examining Agonshu in the wider context, the book draws attention to the importance of understanding the trajectories of 'new' religions and how they can become ‘old’ even within their first generation.

A Critique of Western Buddhism Ruins of the Buddhist Real

Glenn Wallis, Incite Seminars in Philadelphia, USA What are we to make of Western Buddhism? Glenn Wallis argues that in aligning their tradition with the contemporary wellness industry, Western Buddhists evade the consequences of Buddhist thought. This book shows that with concepts such as vanishing, nihility, extinction, contingency, and no-self, Buddhism, like all potent systems of thought, articulates a notion of the “real.” Raw, unflinching acceptance of this real is held by Buddhism to be at the very core of human “awakening.” Yet these preeminent human truths are universally against contemporary Buddhist practice, contravening the very heart of Buddhism.

Edited by Monique Scheer, University of Tübingen, Germany, Nadia Fadil, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium & Birgitte Schepelern Johansen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Drawing on empirical case studies, this is the first book to ask and explore whether a secular body exists. Building on the work of Talal Asad, the book argues that the secular is not an absence of religion, but a positive entity that comes about through its co-constitutive relationship with religion. And, once we attune ourselves to recognizing its operations as grammar which structures social practice, writing an anthropology of the secular could become a new possibility.

Language in the Buddhist Tantra of Japan Indic Roots of Mantra

Richard K. Payne, Institute of Buddhist Studies at the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, USA Dismantles the preconception that Buddhism is a religion of mystical silence, arguing that language is in fact central to the Buddhist tradition. By examining the use of ‘extraordinary language’—evocations calling on the power of the Buddha—in Japanese Buddhist Tantra, Richard K. Payne shows that such language was not simply cultural baggage carried by Buddhist practitioners from South to East Asia. Rather, such language was a key element in the propagation of new forms of belief and practice. He argues that Indian and East Asian philosophies of language shed light on the use of language in meditative and ritual practices in Japan.

Diverse Spaces of Muslim Worship

Muslims from around the world together contribute to the rich diversity of ways in which their faith is practised. For many, the mosque remains the central place that sustains Muslim worship. Yet Islam has generated almost as many spaces as it has distinctive communities. From the mosque and husayniya to the khanaqah and jamatkhana, Rizwan Mawani encounters diverse spaces of worship on his journey through the Muslim world. This illuminating survey of particular architectures and their rituals, from Senegal and China to Iran and India, reveals the significant pluralism that characterizes the living Muslim tradition today.

Western Imaginings

Namira Nahouza, Cambridge Muslim College, UK

Rohan Davis

Theology, Power and Sunni Islam

Wahhabism is often described as one of the most conservative branches of Islam and fuelling jihadist extremism. While previous scholarship has examined Wahhabism as a political phenomenon, this book turns attention to the complex religious issues that are central to its understanding. Tracing its eighteenth-century roots to the present day, Namira Nahouza shows why the Wahhabi movement has opposed traditional Islamic scholarship. Based on extensive research into classical and contemporary Arabic religious sources, Nahouza presents the contours of Sunni theological debate and reveals how the Wahhabi movement became the predecessor to the Salafism we see today.

The Intellectual Contest to Define Wahhabism Wahhabism is often portrayed as a radical version of Islam responsible for inspiring and motivating Islamic terrorism. This book explores how Wahhabism has been understood and represented by Western intellectuals, particularly those belonging to the neo-conservative and liberal traditions. In contrast to the existing literature that treats Wahhabism as a historical phenomenon or a monolithic theological ideology, Davis shows how and why Western intellectuals have chosen to represent Wahhabism in specific ways, ranging from an analysis of the particular rhetorical techniques employed by these intellectuals to a consideration of the religious and political beliefs that inspire and motivate their decisions.

Sufi Shrines and the Pakistani State

War Between the Turks and the Persians

Umber Bin Ibad, Forman Christian College University, Lahore, Pakistan

Giovanni-Tommaso Minadoi

The End of Religious Pluralism

The first book to address the political history of Sufi shrines in Pakistan Sufi Shrines and the Pakistani State explores the ways in which the postcolonial state went about controlling their activities. Of key significance was the ‘West Pakistan Waqf Properties Ordinance’, a 1959 governmental decree which allowed the state to take over shrines as ‘waqf property’. Focusing on the Punjab – famous for its large number of shrines – the book is based on extensive primary research including newspapers, archival sources and interviews. At a time when Sufi shrines are being increasingly targeted by Islamist extremists, this book sheds light on the shrines’ contentious historical relationship with the state.

Establishing and promoting the rule of law in the Muslim world has become a pressing but complicated issue. One important aspect of the rule of law is freedom of expression. Given the sensitivity of Muslim societies in relation to their sacred beliefs, freedom of expression, as an international human rights issue, has raised some controversial cases.

Gender Justice in Islamic Law Homicide and Bodily Injuries

Musa Usman Abubakar, Bayero University, Nigeria This book seeks to interrogate the classical fiqh formulation on gender and homicide with a view to exploring further the debate on whether the so-called gender injustice in Islamic law is a human creation or attributable to the divine sources of the Qur’an and Sunnah. The study is in response to the increasing criticism of the Islamic criminal law regime and the accusation that it discriminates on the basis of gender. It argues that any attempt to critique a religious question through the lens of traditional Western human rights ideals would be resisted by the vast majority of Muslims.

This book will be of interest to students, researchers and policy makers involved in various fields, including those of development studies, religion, gender studies and social anthropology.

The Jews of Iran

The History, Religion and Culture of a Community in the Islamic World Edited by Houman M. Sarshar Living continuously in Iran for over 2700 years, Jews have played an integral role in the history of the country. Although usually perceived as a passive minority group, in this book the Jews of Iran are presented as having had an active role in the development of Iranian history, society, and culture. Examining ancient texts, objects and art from a wide range of times and places throughout Iranian history, as well as the medieval trade routes along which these would have travelled, The Jews of Iran offers in-depth analysis of the material and visual culture of this community.

Contemplative Universals and Meditative Landmarks Kenneth Rose, Christopher Newport University, USA "Insofar as theorizing on religion and mysticism, on comparison and approaches to religious experience, Rose's latest book is a must-read: the argument is compelling, carefully researched, effectively structured, and convincingly presented." Reading Religion Pioneering the exploration of contemplative practice and experience with a comparative perspective that ranges over multiple religious traditions, religious studies, philosophy, neuroscience, and the cognitive science of religion, this is a landmark contribution to the fields of contemplative practice and religious studies.

A Cultural History of Tarot

From Entertainment to Esotericism Helen Farley, University of Queensland, Australia Tarot cards have always exerted strong fascination, way beyond their original purpose. In modern times, they have become inseparably connected to the occult. This is the 1st book to explore the remarkably varied ways in which tarot has influenced culture. Tracing the changing patterns of the deck's use, from game to mysterious oracular device, Helen Farley examines tarot's emergence in 15th-century Milan and discusses its later associations with astrology, kabbalah and the Age of Aquarius.

Unimaginable

What We Imagine and What We Can't Graham Ward, University of Oxford, UK In his sequel to Unbelievable, Graham Ward presents a nuanced portrait of the mystery and creativity of the human imagination. Discussing the likes of William Wordsworth, William Turner, Samuel Palmer and Ralph Vaughan Williams, and drawing on his own rich encounters with belief, Ward asks why it is that the imagination is so fundamental to who and what we are. Using metaphor and story to unpeel the hidden motivations and architecture of the mind, he grapples with profound questions of ultimacy and transcendence. Unimaginable reveals that, in understanding what it really means to be human, what cannot be imagined invariably means as much as what can.

Faith and Struggle in the Lives of Four African Americans Ethel Waters, Mary Lou Williams, Eldridge Cleaver, and Muhamad Ali

MYTH, ESOTERICISM AND SPIRITUALITY

Yoga, Meditation, and Mysticism

Randal Maurice Jelks, University of Kansas, USA Randal Maurice Jelks shows that to understand the black American experience beyond the larger narratives of enslavement, Emancipation, and Black Lives Matter, we need to hear the individual stories. Drawing on his own experiences growing up as a religious African American, he shows that the inner history of black lives in the twentieth century is a story worth telling. He explores the stories of four African American figures and their religious journeys through their autobiographical writings, interviews, speeches, letters, and memorable performances.

Bloomsbury Studies in Religion and Popular Music Series Editor: Christopher Partridge 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. Similarly, from jazz to reggae, gospel to heavy metal, and bhangra to qawwali, there are few genres of contemporary popular music that have not dealt with ideas and themes related to religion, spiritual and the paranormal. Whether we think of Satanism or Sufism, the liberal use of drugs or disciplined abstinence, the history of the quest for transcendence within popular music and its subcultures raises important issues for anyone interested in contemporary religion, culture and society. Bloomsbury Studies in Religion and Popular Music is a multi-disciplinary series that aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of these issues and the relationships between religion and popular music.

Religion and Popular Music Artists, Fans, and Cultures

Edited by Andreas Häger, Abo Akademi University, Finland Using in-depth case studies, this book explores encounters between music, fans and religion. The book examines popular music artists - including Bob Dylan, Prince and Katy Perry - and looks at the way religion comes into play in their work and personas. Genres explored include country, folk, rock, metal and Electronic Dance Music. Case studies in the book originate from a variety of geographic and cultural contexts, focusing on topics such as nationalism and hard rock in Russia, fan culture in Argentina, and punk and Islam in Indonesia. An important contribution to the growing field of religion and popular music studies.

Science Fiction and the Imitation of the Sacred Richard Grigg, Sacred Heart University, USA

"A fascinating book about human nostalgia for a sacred reality that can no longer be readily experienced in a secular age." Michael Raposa, Lehigh University, USA Examines science fiction’s relationship to religion and the sacred through the lens of significant books, films and television shows. It provides a clear account of the larger cultural and philosophical significance of science fiction, and explores its potential sacrality in today’s secular world by analyzing material such as Ray Bradbury’s classic novel The Martian Chronicles, films The Abyss and 2001: A Space Odyssey, and also the Star Trek universe.

Martin Scorsese's Divine Comedy Movies and Religion

Catherine O'Brien, Kingston University, UK Catherine O’Brien draws on the structure of Dante’s Divine Comedy to explore Scorsese’s feature films from Who’s that knocking at my door (1967-69) to Silence (2016). This is the first full-length study to focus on the trajectory of faith and doubt during this period, taking very seriously the oft-quoted words of the director himself: ‘My whole life has been movies and religion. That’s it. Nothing else.’ Films discussed include GoodFellas, The Last Temptation of Christ, Taxi Driver and Mean Streets, as well as the more recent Wolf of Wall Street.
