White Devils, Black Gods

Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, University of Haifa, Israel

Christopher M. Driscoll, Lehigh University, USA

Horror and Redemption

In this book, the theme of child sacrifice is examined as a psychological challenge. It applies a unique approach to religious ideas by looking at beliefs and practices, which are considered deviant, but also make up part of mainstream religious discourse in Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. This book makes the connection between Satanism stories in the 1980s, the Blood Libel in Europe, The Eucharist, and Eastern Mediterranean narratives of child sacrifice.

Race, Masculinity, and Religious Codependency

Provides a historical and philosophical account of the “white devil” as it appears in stories and myths in various Black religions, particularly as these traditions are expressed through the contemporary cultural expression of hip-hop. Interweaving academic theory, (auto) ethnography, and memoir-styled narrative, Christopher M. Driscoll explores what the “white devil” trope means for understanding and responding to tensions emerging from toxic white masculinity. Depicting paths forward for genuine reparations and systemic justice, this is an essential read for people who want to build communities to counter white racism and nurture expansive, generative interdependence.

Teenage Australians on Religion, Sexuality and Diversity

Providing an evidence-based understanding of young Australians’ perspectives and identities related to religion, non-religion, spirituality, sexuality and gender, this book features a groundbreaking typology that maps teen worldviews. It draws on a unique, major national Australian study of teens, comprising 11 focus groups, a nationally representative survey and 30 in-depth interviews. It places the findings in international comparative perspective, with specific reference to cognate studies from Britain, Canada, New Zealand and America.

Cinematic Religious Experience and Evolving Conceptions of the Sacred

The secular, pluralist culture of the West encourages a subjective approach to spiritual truth where stimulating emotional experiences, such as those provided by film, can contribute to personal conceptions of the sacred. Examining Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) as the principal case-study and Gaspar Noé’s Enter the Void (2009) and Lars von Trier’s Melancholia (2011) as comparative examples, Sarah K. Balstrup argues that these directors harness the affective properties of film to generate altered states of perception in a manner analogous to religious practice.

Spirituality and Alternativity in Contemporary Japan Beyond Religion?

Ioannis Gaitanidis, Chiba University, Japan This book critically analyses the creation and effects of spirituality as both discourse and practice in Japan. It shows how the value of spirituality has been sustained by “spiritual therapists” who have sought to eke out a livelihood in an increasingly professionalized and regulated therapeutic field; as well as by the cruel optimism of an increasingly precarious workforce, placing its hopes in the imagined alternative that the supirichuaru represents.

Orthodox Christianity, New Age Spirituality and Vernacular Religion The Evil Eye in Greece

American Evangelicals Conflicted on Islam

Ashlee Quosigk, University of Georgia, USA

This is the first anthropological work in the Greek context – and one of the few works in the European context – to illustrate thoroughly the novel synthesis of Christian religion and ‘New Age’ spirituality. It challenges the single-faith approach that traditionally ties southern European countries to Christianity, and focuses on how processes of globalization influence and transform vernacular religiosity. It demonstrates how, through the popular belief in the ‘evil eye’, a novel ritual, performative and material affinity between religion and spirituality is creatively produced.

Quosigk explores the diversity of opinion within the largest religious group in the US – Evangelical Christians – on the topic of Islam. Evangelicals are often characterized as monolithically antagonistic toward Muslims. This book challenges that stereotype, exposing divides that exist among Evangelicals on Islam and examining why there is division. Drawing on qualitative research on two congregations in the US, as well as on popular Evangelical leaders, it details the surprisingly diverse views Evangelicals hold on Muhammad, the Qur’an, interfaith dialogue, syncretism, and politics. This research is invaluable for providing a better understanding of what Evangelicals think, and why.

Free Zone Scientology

Contesting the Boundaries of a New Religion Aled Thomas, University of Wolverhampton, UK This book examines Scientology, specifically in the Free Zone, exploring issues of boundaries and fluidity in the contemporary religious landscape. By acting as a framework for the study of similar movements formed in recent decades, this book allows scholars of religion to explore how contemporary religion can simultaneously demonstrate both fluid and solid elements and holds relevance for the wider academic study of religions, asking and addressing questions surrounding how minority movements should be approached in future studies.

Individualized Religion

Practitioners and their Communities Claire Wanless, The Open University, UK Explores and theorizes the increasingly socially significant phenomenon of individualized religion, through an extensive ethnography of Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. Claire Wanless demonstrates that counter to the claims of secularization theorists, the combination of informal structures and practices can provide a viable basis for socially significant religious activity that can sustain itself. Providing a new theory of religious association, this book is a counterpoint to the secularization thesis in the UK and points the way to new research on individual religion.

Connecting the Isiac Cults

Formal Modeling in the Hellenistic Mediterranean Tomáš Glomb, Masaryk University, Czech Republic Why did Egyptian cults spread so successfully across the ancient Mediterranean after the death of Alexander the Great? Combining mathematical modeling and network analysis, this book reveals that, at least in the regions of the Hellenistic Aegean and western Asia Minor, the political channels created by the Ptolemaic dynasty were a dominant force in the local spread of the Isiac cults. An important contribution to the historiography of the ancient Mediterranean.

Understanding Religion Through Artificial Intelligence Bonding and Belief

Justin E. Lane, ALAN Analytics, Norway Presents a new way in which we can use artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for studying social cohesion in religious groups, and what can be learned by creating AI systems that have the ability to simulate human learning and identification processes. The book’s main focus is on the question of how large religions maintain identities across vast distances as well as over multiple generations.

Rethinking Christian Martyrdom The Blood is the Seed?

Matthew Recla, Boise State University, USA Argues that we have been mistaken about the fundamental assumption that Christianity is the key to understanding the “Christian” martyr. Examining martyrdom in early Christian history, Matt Recla argues that the violent deaths of martyrs, real and imagined, were appropriated for Christian institutional life. In challenging long-held beliefs about the praiseworthiness of martyrdom, this book is of value to scholars of religion as well as those concerned about the relationship between religion and violence.

Edited by Christoffer Theis, University of Heidelberg, Germany & Paolo Vitellozzi, University of Perugia, Italy A deep analysis of the textuality of amulets that provides comparative information on themes and structures of the religious traditions examined. A strong emphasis is placed on the material features of the amulets and their connections to their ritual purposes. The textual content, as well as other characteristics, is examined systematically, in order to establish patterns of influence and diffusion.

Hinduism in Middle India

Narasimha, The Lord of the Middle Lavanya Vemsani, Shawnee State University, USA Narasimha is one of the least studied major deities of Hinduism. There are limited studies on the history, thought, and literature of middle India. Lavanya Vemsani redresses this by exploring a range of primary sources, classical Sanskrit texts (puranas and epics), and regional accounts (sthalapuranas), including texts, artistic compositions, and oral folk stories in the regional languages of Telugu, Oriya, and Kannada. Vemsani also examines the historical context as well as contemporary practice. This book offers a rich contribution to Hindu studies and Indian studies in general, and to Vaishnava Studies and regional Hinduism in particular.

Creative Spiritual Movements and Their Relevance to Political, Social and Cultural Reform

Explores the creativity of six spiritual movements: the Bahá’ís, a Persian movement; Soka Gakkai, a Japanese movement; Ananda Marga and the Brahma Kumaris, two reformed Hindu movements; and The Church Universal and Triumphant and the Latter-Day Saints, two controversial American churches. Most of these six movements have counterintuitive features that would lead secular Western intellectuals, basing themselves on Enlightenment thinking, to dismiss them as irrelevant and inconsequential. However, this book reveals how these movements have responded to modernity in ways that are creative and practical, resulting in social, scientific, educational and cultural initiatives.

Goddesses in Myth and Cultural Memory Emilie Kutash, Salem State University and Endicott College, USA

How have the goddesses of ancient myth survived, prevalent even now as literary and cultural icons? How do allegory, symbolic interpretation and political context transform the goddess from her regional and individual identity into a goddess of philosophy and literature? Emilie Kutash explores these questions, beginning from the premise that cultural memory can last thousands of years. Chapters follow the goddesses from their ancient Near Eastern prototypes, to their place in the epic poetry, drama and hymns of classical Greece, to their appearance in Platonic and Neoplatonic philosophy, medieval allegory and their association with Christendom.

Anarchist, Artist, Sufi

The Politics, Painting, and Esotericism of Ivan Aguéli Edited by Mark Sedgwick, Aarhus University, Denmark Through the life of Ivan Aguéli, one of the earliest Western intellectuals to convert to Islam and to explore Sufism, this books takes us through some of the most important territory of the late 19th century. It shows that Islam occupied a more central place in modern European intellectual history than generally realized. The book includes translations of a selection of Aguéli’s most important writings, previously only available in French and Swedish. It is the first full-length study of Aguéli in English and shows how esotericism, art, and anarchism finally found their fulfillment in Sufi Islam.

Edited by Edward R. Drott, Sophia University,

This book challenges the North American medical and bioethical consensus that the transplantation of organs from brain-dead donors are an unalloyed good. It provides a deep investigation of debates in America and Japan, introducing numerous Japanese bioethicists whose work has never been treated in English. A work of intellectual and social history, it also directly engages with questions that have become all the more salient in recent years: should limits be placed on the technologies we develop to extend life? If so, where should lines be drawn?

Overseas Shinto Shrines

Religion, Secularity and the Japanese Empire Karli Shimizu, Hokkaido University, Japan This is the first book to comprehensively examine overseas Shinto shrines and their complex role in the colonization and modernization of newly Japanese lands and subjects.
