entecostalism is one of the fastest-growing religious movements in the world. Groups in the United States dominated early pentecostal histories, but recent global manifestations have expanded and complicated the definition of Pentecostalism. This volume provides a nuanced overview of Pentecostalism’s various manifestations and explores what it means to be pentecostal from the perspectives of both insiders and outsiders. Leading scholars in the field use a multidisciplinary approach to analyze the historical, economic, political, cultural, anthropological, sociological, and theological aspects of the movement. They address controversies, such as the Oneness-Trinity dispute, introduce new theories, and chart trajectories for future research. The Cambridge Companion to Pentecostalism will enable beginners to familiarize themselves with the important issues and debates surrounding the global movement, while also offering experienced scholars a valuable handbook for reference.

Buddhism Law AND

As the first comprehensive study of Buddhism and law in Asia, this interdisciplinary volume challenges the concept of Buddhism as an apolitical religion without implications for law. Buddhism and Law draws on the expertise of the foremost scholars in Buddhist studies and in law to trace the legal aspects of the religion from the time of the Buddha to the present. In some cases, Buddhism provided the crucial architecture for legal ideologies and secular law codes, while in other cases it had to contend with a pre-existing legal system, to which it added a new layer of complexity. The wide-ranging studies in this book reveal a diversity of relationships between Buddhist monastic codes and secular legal systems in terms of substantive rules, factoring, and ritual practices. This volume will be an essential resource for all students and teachers in Buddhist studies, law and religion, and comparative law. Rebecca Redwood French is the Roger and Karen Jones Faculty Scholar and Professor of Law at the SUNY Buffalo Law School and a former director of the Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy (2008–2010). She is the author of The Golden Yoke: The Legal Cosmology of Buddhist Tibet (1995). Her recent work focuses on the intersection of Buddhism and law in relation to feminism, natural law, and comparative law. Mark A. Nathan is Assistant Professor in the Department of History and the Asian Studies Program at the University at Buffalo, the State University of New York (SUNY Buffalo).

Religion,War, and Ethics A Sourcebook of TexTuAl Tr AdiTionS

One answer is that religions and religious believers are extremely bad news: they are deeply involved in conflicts around the globe; they harm people of whom they disapprove; and they often seem irrational.

John Bowker demonstrates that there is truth in both answers and that we need both to understand what religion is and why it matters. He draws on many disciplines – from physics, genetics and the neurosciences to art, anthropology and the history of religions – to show how they shed entirely new light on religion in the modern world.

JOHN BOWKER is an emeritus professor at Gresham College, London. He has also been a Fellow and Dean of Trinity College, Cambridge, and Professor of Religious Studies at the universities of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina State. He is the author or editor of more than forty books, including Problems of Suffering in Religions of the World; The Meanings of Death (winner of the HarperCollins Book Prize, 1993); Is God a Virus? Genes, Culture and Religion; The Oxford Dictionary of World Religions; God: A Brief History; Beliefs That Changed the World and Knowing the Unknowable: Science and Religions on God and the Universe.

Why Religions Matter

Another answer claims that they are in fact extremely good news: religious beliefs and practices are universal and so fundamental in human nature that they have led us to great discoveries in our explorations of the cosmos and of who we are. The sciences began as part of that religious exploration.

Jacob Wright Author of David, King of Israel, and Caleb in Biblical Memory The Bible’s oldest account of David, as I reconstruct it in this book, identifies him only as ruler of the kingdom of Judah. He was not King of Israel, and he only became such in later traditions. My study shows why the biblical authors transformed his identity, and how they infused his story with questions about statehood and survival after the defeat of the kingdom he established. The book sets forth a new comparative paradigm of historical research, drawing on political activities of “war commemoration” in both

As an alternative to the problematic notion of ‘inter-faith dialogue’, Andrew Shanks advocates a Hegelian approach representing maximum xenophilia, or love for the unfamiliar. Shanks’s theory identifies faith as an inflection of the will towards perfect openness of spirit and recognises the potential for God’s work in all religious traditions. 2015 228 x 152 mm 288pp 978-1-107-09736-0 Hardback £60.00 / US$95.00 Publication April 2015 For all formats available, see

Kierkegaard and the Problem of Self-Love John Lippitt University of Hertfordshire

This book shows the relevance of a Kierkegaard-inspired account of what it means to love oneself properly to such topics as friendship, romantic love, trust, forgiveness and pride. It will be of interest to scholars and students of Kierkegaard and those interested in philosophical and theological ethics and moral psychology. ‘This is the most important book on Kierkegaard and love to appear since Jamie Ferreira’s classic Love’s Grateful Striving; in particular, it offers the most detailed treatment available on the notion of proper self-love in Works of Love. This work also brings Kierkegaard directly into current debates in moral psychology regarding love for particular others such as family and friends, and their relation to forms of self-love. The discussions of forgiveness, including self-forgiveness and self-respect, are especially rewarding. Lippitt writes clearly and his analyses will be accessible to readers without a prior speciality in Kierkegaard, including anyone interested in theories of love and various forms of love in their own right – and especially in theological contexts.’ John J. Davenport, Fordham University

Marcion and the Making of a Heretic God and Scripture in the Second Century Judith M. Lieu University of Cambridge

Augustine Deformed Love, Sin and Freedom in the Western Moral Tradition John M. Rist University of Toronto

This volume traces the distortion of Augustine’s moral thought from the twelfth century to the present day and examines the consequences of replacing it with increasingly secular and impersonal moral systems. In order to avoid the nihilistic conclusions of these systems, John M. Rist proposes a return to a revitalized Augustinian Christianity.

The Theology of Augustine’s Confessions

The Mystic Ark

Paul Rigby

University of California, Riverside

Saint Paul University, Ottawa

Engaging with contemporary philosophers and psychologists antagonistic to religion, this study of Augustine’s Confessions reveals the sophistication of his response to timeless problems such as free will, predestination, and innocent suffering. Paul Rigby demonstrates the value of Augustine’s testimony of conversion for those struggling with theistic incredulity and religious narcissism.

Hugh of Saint Victor, Art, and Thought in the Twelfth Century Conrad Rudolph

Conrad Rudolph studies and reconstructs Hugh of Saint Victor’s forty-two-page written work, The Mystic Ark (c.1125–30), which describes the medieval painting of the same name. Almost completely ignored by art historians because of the immense difficulty of its text, The Mystic Ark is among the most unusual sources we have for an understanding of medieval artistic culture.

Dreams and Visions in the Early Middle Ages The Reception and Use of Patristic Ideas, 400–900 Jesse Keskiaho

Utah State University

University of Helsinki

This book focuses on one of the most attractive features of late medieval manuscript illumination: the portrait of the book owner at prayer within the pages of her prayer-book. Offering a direct view into the lives of medieval individuals, these are religiously loaded images that strike at the very core of medieval Christian concerns about salvation and the efficacy of prayer.

This comprehensive overview of early medieval ideas about dreams and visions explores their important roles within the learned cultures of the period. It is a major contribution to discussions about the intellectual place of dreams and visions and underlines the creative nature of early medieval engagement with authoritative texts.

The Clergy in the Medieval World Secular Clerics, Their Families and Careers in North-Western Europe, c.800–c.1200 Julia Barrow University of Leeds

Unlike monks and nuns, clergy have hitherto been sidelined in accounts of the Middle Ages, but they played an important role in medieval society, in pastoral care, education and administration. This book examines how clerics built up their careers, and identifies the principal factors influencing their advancement. ‘Julia Barrow’s magisterial social history of medieval clergy brings into sharp focus many aspects of the medieval Church hitherto only vaguely understood. A previously fragmented field of study is synthesised as a unified whole, resting on deep and secure scholarship. It is a tremendously important book.’ David d’Avray, University College London

A History of Korean Christianity Sebastian C. H. Kim York St John University

and Kirsteen Kim Leeds Trinity University

With a third of South Koreans now identifying themselves as Christian, Christian churches play an increasingly prominent role in the social and political events of the Korean peninsula. Sebastian Kim and Kirsteen Kim’s comprehensive and timely history of different Christian denominations in Korea includes surveys of the Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant traditions as well as new church movements. They examine the Korean Christian diaspora and missionary movements from South Korea and also give cutting-edge insights into North Korea. This book, the first recent one-volume history and analysis of Korean Christianity in English, highlights the challenges faced by the Christian churches in view of Korea’s distinctive and multireligious cultural heritage, South Korea’s rapid rise in global economic power and the precarious state of North Korea, which threatens global peace. This History will be an important resource for all students of world Christianity, Korean studies and mission studies. 2014 228 x 152 mm 373pp 10 b/w illus. 2 maps 2 tables 978-0-521-19638-3 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00

Church history Libanius A Critical Introduction Edited by Lieve Van Hoof Universiteit Gent, Belgium

A professor of Greek rhetoric, frequent letter writer and influential social figure, Libanius (AD 314–393) is a key author for anybody interested in Late Antiquity, ancient rhetoric, ancient epistolography and ancient biography. Nevertheless, he remains understudied because it is such a daunting task to access his large and only partially translated oeuvre. This volume, which is the first comprehensive study of Libanius, offers a critical introduction to the man, his texts, their context and reception. Clear presentations of the orations, progymnasmata, declamations and letters unlock the corpus, and a survey of all available translations is provided. At the same time, the volume explores new interpretative approaches of the texts from a variety of angles. Written by a team of established as well as upcoming experts in the field, it substantially reassesses works such as the Autobiography, the Julianic speeches and letters, and Oration 30 For the Temples.

The first of the nine volume Cambridge History of Christianity series, Origins to Constantine provides a comprehensive overview of the essential events, persons, places and issues involved in the emergence of the Christian religion in the Mediterranean world in the first three centuries. Over thirty essays written by scholarly experts trace this dynamic history from the time of Jesus through to the rise of Imperial Christianity in the fourth century. It provides thoughtful and well-documented analyses of the diverse forms of Christian community, identity and practice that arose within decades of Jesus’s death, and which through missionary efforts were soon implanted throughout the Roman Empire. Origins to Constantine examines the distinctive characteristics of Christian groups in each geographical region up to the end of the third century, while also exploring the development of the institutional forms, intellectual practices and theological formulations that would

The Cambridge History of Christianity Volume 2: Constantine to c.600 Edited by Augustine Casiday University of Wales, Lampeter

and Frederick W. Norris Emmanuel School of Religion

This volume in the Cambridge History of Christianity presents the ‘Golden Age’ of patristic Christianity. After episodes of persecution by the Roman government, Christianity emerged as a licit religion enjoying imperial patronage and eventually became the favoured religion of the empire. The articles in this volume discuss the rapid transformation of Christianity during late antiquity, giving specific consideration to artistic, social, literary, philosophical, political, inter-religious and cultural aspects. The volume moves away from simple dichotomies and reductive schematizations (e.g., ‘heresy v. orthodoxy’) toward an inclusive description of the diverse practices and theories that made up Christianity at this time. Whilst proportional attention is given to the emergence of the Great

Church within the Roman Empire, other topics are treated as well – such as the development of Christian communities outside the empire. ‘The twenty-nine essays in total paint a rich canvas of late antique Christianity in its many facets and illustrate the equally lively and varied engagement of current scholarship with this fascinating period … The contributors, editors and the Press must be congratulated for a volume to which the scholarly community will come back for many years as a standard reference tool.’ Journal of Ecclesiastical History Cambridge History of Christianity

The key focus of this book is the vitality and dynamism of all aspects of Christian experience from late antiquity to the First Crusade. By putting the institutional and doctrinal history firmly in the context of Christianity’s many cultural manifestations and lived formations everywhere from Afghanistan to Iceland, this volume of The Cambridge History of Christianity emphasizes the ever-changing, varied expressions of Christianity at both local and world level. The insights of many disciplines, including gender studies, codicology, archaeology and anthropology, are deployed to offer fresh interpretations which challenge the conventional truths concerning this formative period. Addressing eastern, Byzantine and western Christianity, it explores encounters between Christians and others, notably Jews, Muslims, and pagans; the institutional life of the church including law, reform and monasticism; the pastoral and sacramental contexts of worship, belief and morality; and finally its cultural and

This volume brings together in one compass the Orthodox Churches – the ecumenical patriarchate of Constantinople and the Russian, Armenian, Ethiopian, Egyptian and Syrian Churches. It follows their fortunes from the late Middle Ages until modern times – exactly the period when their history has been most neglected. Inevitably, this emphasises differences in teachings and experience, but it also brings out common threads, most notably the resilience displayed in the face of alien and often hostile political regimes. The central theme is the survival against the odds of Orthodoxy in its many forms into the modern era. The last phase of Byzantium proves to have been surprisingly important in this survival. It provided Orthodoxy with the intellectual, artistic and spiritual reserves to meet later challenges. The continuing vitality of the Orthodox Churches is evident for example in the Sunday School Movement in Egypt and the Zoe brotherhood in Greece.

The Cambridge History of Christianity Volume 4: Christianity in Western Europe, c.1100–c.1500 Edited by Miri Rubin Queen Mary, University of London

and Walter Simons Dartmouth College, New Hampshire

During the early middle ages, Europe developed complex and varied Christian cultures, and from about 1100 secular rulers, competing factions and inspired individuals continued to engender a diverse and ever-changing mix within Christian society. This volume explores the wide range of institutions, practices and experiences associated with the life of European Christians in the later middle ages. The clergy of this period initiated new approaches to the role of priests, bishops and popes, and developed an ambitious project to instruct the laity. For lay people, the practices of parish religion were central, but many sought additional ways to enrich their lives as Christians. Impulses towards reform and renewal periodically swept across Europe, led by charismatic preachers and supported by secular rulers. This book provides accessible accounts of these complex historical processes and entices the reader towards further enquiry. Cambridge History of Christianity

This comprehensive and comparative overview covers the history of society, politics, theology, liturgy, religious orders, and art in the lands of Latin Christianity. In thirty chapters written by an international team of contributors the volume expands the boundaries of inquiry to the relationship between Christianity and non-Christian religions – Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism – both in Europe and in the non-European world. ‘The articles in this volume are of the high standard that one would expect given the expertise of the contributors.

Part I analyses the responses of Catholic and Protestant Christianity to the intellectual and social challenges presented by European modernity. It gives attention to the explosion of new voluntary forms of Christianity and the expanding role of women in religious life. Part II surveys the diverse and complex relationships between the churches and nationalism, resulting in fundamental changes to the connections between church and state.

Written by a powerful team of specialists from many different countries, the volume is broad in scope.

The second provides a narrative of Christian history in each region of the world.

The New Cambridge History of the Bible Volume 3: From 1450 to 1750 Edited by Euan Cameron Union Theological Seminary, New York

This volume charts the Bible’s progress from the end of the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment. During this period, for the first time since antiquity, the Latin Church focused on recovering and re-establishing the text of Scripture in its original languages. It considered the theological challenges of treating Scripture as another ancient text edited with the tools of philology. This crucial period also saw the creation of many definitive translations of the Bible into modern European vernaculars. Although previous translations exist, these early modern translators, often under the influence of the Protestant Reformation, distinguished themselves in their efforts to communicate the nuances of the original texts and to address contemporary doctrinal controversies. In the Renaissance’s rich explosion of ideas, Scripture played a ubiquitous role, influencing culture through its presence in philosophy, literature, and the arts. This history examines the Bible’s impact in Europe and its increasing prominence around the globe. Contributors: Euan Cameron, Alastair Hamilton, Jill Kraye, Richard Rex, Scott Mandelbrote, Eldon J.

The New Cambridge History of the Bible Volume 4: From 1750 to the Present Edited by John Riches University of Glasgow

This volume examines the Bible’s role in the modern world – beginning with a treatment of its production and distribution that discusses publishers, printers, text critics, and translators and continuing with a presentation of new methods of studying the text that have emerged, including historical, literary, social-scientific, feminist, postcolonial, liberal, and fundamentalist readings. There is a full discussion of the changes in understandings of and approaches to the Bible in various faith communities. The dissemination of the Bible throughout the globe has also produced a host of new interpretations, and this volume provides a comprehensive geographical survey of its reception. In the final chapters, the authors offer a thematic overview of the Bible in relation to literature, art, film, science, and other disciplines. They demonstrate that, in spite of challenges to the Bible’s authority in western Europe, it remains highly relevant and influential, not least in the Americas, Africa, and Asia.

Jesus and the Forgiveness of Sins An Aspect of his Prophetic Mission Tobias Hägerland Lunds Universitet, Sweden

This book serves as a handy introduction for scholars and students alike to the issues, sources, methods and results of research into the historical Jesus. It thoroughly investigates the theology of forgiveness in early Judaism and primitive Christianity and provokes further debate about Jesus’ identity as an early Jewish prophet. ‘[Jesus and the Forgiveness of Sins] is excellent at collecting data and interacting with past scholarship and has the potential to gain credence in historical Jesus scholarship in this regard.’ Beniamin Pascut, Religious Studies Review Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series, 150

Biblical Blaspheming Trials of the Sacred for a Secular Age Yvonne Sherwood University of Kent

This book considers the Bible as a public edifice and cultural symbol as well as a set of texts and images that are often strangely ‘unbiblical’ and ‘irreligious’. Sherwood considers different ways of talking and thinking about the Bible and investigates blasphemy across disciplines including politics, literature and visual theory. ‘[Sherwood] takes the reader on dizzying excursions through religious studies, biblical studies, postmodern theory, midrash, and straight history, barely pausing to allow us to take a breath. She is truly interdisciplinary in that she enables the different disciplines in her intellectual purview to jar and combine. Above all, it is a work of pleasure, both of writing and of reading.’ Review of Biblical Literature

A New Theory David Novak

This book argues that Zionism is only a coherent political stance when it is intelligently rooted in Judaism, especially in the classical Jewish doctrine of God’s election of the people of Israel and the commandment to them to settle the land of Israel. Advance praise: ‘Anyone who is serious about the idea that God gave Israel the Torah and the land of Israel must read this book by today’s doyen of Jewish philosophical theology. Those who study it will learn immensely from David Novak’s lifetime of learning, and those who differ with his conclusions, or his premises, will be challenged to see if they can do better in addressing one of the great questions facing Judaism today: how the modern state of Israel can thrive as a Jewish, democratic state at peace with its neighbors, its living heritage and itself.’ Lenn E. Goodman, Vanderbilt University, Tennessee

flee from an absolute accountability to and for the other human being. Advance praise: ‘David Patterson’s remarkable book offers a new method for a provocative evaluation of anti-Semitism. It uses a ‘Jewish approach to understanding Jew hatred’ and sees the roots of this hatred springing from ancient, metaphysical origins. Analyzing the human ambition for unlimited power, it argues that longing to kill God drives the desire to kill the Jews.

Maimonides and the Shaping of the Jewish Canon James A. Diamond University of Waterloo, Ontario

This book examines a wide range of theologians, philosophers, and exegetes who share a passionate engagement with Maimonides, assaulting, adopting, subverting, or adapting his philosophical and jurisprudential thought. This ongoing enterprise is critical to any appreciation of the broader scope of Jewish law, philosophy, biblical interpretation, and Kabbalah. ‘James Diamond’s book is a wonderfully rich, subtle, and erudite exposition of Maimonides’ central and complex place in the history of Jewish thought. In his emphasis on Maimonides as an interpreter of prior canonical texts and in his analysis of the complex and deep ways in which Maimonides’ own works became, in turn canonical, Diamond makes a highly important and remarkable contribution to understanding Jewish thought as essentially an interpretative tradition.’ Moshe Halbertal, New York University School of Law, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and author of Maimonides: Life and Thought 2014 228 x 152 mm 327pp 978-1-107-06334-1 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 For all formats available, see

Organ Donation and the Divine Lien in Talmudic Law Madeline Kochen University of Michigan Law School

This book offers a new theory of property and distributive justice derived from Talmudic law, illustrated by a case study involving the sale of organs for transplant. Although organ donation did not exist in late antiquity, this book posits a new way, drawn from the Talmud, to conceive of this modern means of giving to others. ‘Madeline Kochen’s interpretation of Jewish legal principles opens a new window onto the ethics of organ donation. Her illuminating take on Talmudic property law suggests a new kind of transaction that is neither a sale nor a gift. Solving contemporary problems with ancient wisdom, Kochen argues that God may give the gift of life but we have the power to imitate God by saving lives while enabling others to redeem their claims on us. A stunning achievement.’ Joseph William Singer, Bussey Professor of Law, Harvard Law School

This comprehensive survey of JewishGreek society’s development examines the exchange of language and ideas as evidenced by biblical translations, literature and archaeology. The volume illustrates the enduring significance of the Jewish-Greek tradition and will be an essential handbook for anyone interested in Jewish-Greek culture or the Byzantine Empire.

Jewish Exegesis and Homeric Scholarship in Alexandria Maren R. Niehoff Hebrew University of Jerusalem

In this book, Maren R. Niehoff provides a systematic analysis of the critical and literary methods of Bible interpretation developed by the Alexandrian Jews. She argues that by creatively engaging with Homeric scholarship developed at the Museum, they offered revolutionary interpretations of Scripture. ‘Niehoff’s work clearly and carefully situates the work of Philo in its broader Alexandrian context. Her consistent use of sources largely unavailable to many scholars, particularly for those concerned with the history of Jewish biblical interpretation, makes her work an invaluable touchstone for future studies of Philo.’ Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2014 229 x 152 mm 238pp 978-1-107-41484-6 Paperback £18.99 / US$28.99 Also available 978-1-107-00072-8 Hardback £59.99 / US$94.99 For all formats available, see

This excellent study by Cecile Kuznitz shows how scholars and community activists in interwar Poland overcame daunting challenges to turn the YIVO into a great pillar of Jewish secular culture and scholarship. It is an inspiring and important story.’ Samuel D. Kassow, Trinity College 2014 228 x 152 mm 321pp 16 b/w illus. 978-1-107-01420-6 Hardback £60.00 / US$95.00 For all formats available, see

Scripture and Law in the Dead Sea Scrolls Alex P. Jassen New York University

This book examines the interpretation of biblical law in the Dead Sea Scrolls and ancient Judaism. It analyzes the interpretive techniques found in the Dead Sea Scrolls to transform the meaning and application of biblical law to meet the needs of new historical and cultural settings. ‘In this book, Alex P. Jassen, joins two lines of inquiry that are commonly pursued independently of one another: the scriptural hermeneutics of the Dead Sea Scrolls and their legal contents. Previous studies of scriptural interpretation in the Dead Sea Scrolls have tended to focus on the nonlegal, narrative, hortatory, liturgical, and eschatalogical texts, while those on the legal contents of the scrolls have sought to uncover the sect’s practices, polemics against other groups, or the larger history of ancient Jewish law. While there have been several

Judaism / Islam important recent studies that combine interests in Qumran (the site of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls) law and scriptural exegesis, none has been as comprehensive and as systematic as is Jassen’s. This book offers highquality scholarship on an important and timely topic.’ Steven D.

and Tadd Graham Fernée

University of Texas, Austin

This book presents a critical study of citizenship, state and globalization in societies that have been historically influenced by Islamic traditions and institutions. Interrogating the work of contemporary theorists of Islamic modernity, this book explores the debate on Islam, democracy and modernity, contextualized within contemporary Muslim lifeworlds.

Centered on legal discourses of the first six centuries of Islam, this book provides a detailed analysis of Islamic scholarly writings on the topic of rape and argues that classical Islamic jurisprudence contained highly nuanced and substantially divergent doctrines of sexual violation as a punishable crime.

Islam / Buddhism, Eastern religions / Religious ethics Shi’i Islam An Introduction Najam Haider Barnard College, New York

This book examines the development of Shi‘i Islam through the lenses of belief, narrative, and memory. The portrait of Shi‘ism that emerges is that of a distinctive and vibrant community of Muslims with a remarkable capacity for reinvention and adaptation. ‘Haider provides a thoroughly researched and methodologically nuanced survey of Shi‘ism that fills the gap between works that focus on the historical origins of Shi‘ism and primers that attempt to summarize the central elements of Shi‘i theological beliefs and practices. This work is certain to supersede existing introductions as the standard reference on the subject for academic courses and as a general guide for specialists and non-specialists alike.’ Tariq al-Jamil, Swarthmore College Introduction to Religion

Chopsticks A Cultural and Culinary History Q. Edward Wang Rowan University, New Jersey

Chopsticks have become a quintessential part of the Japanese, Chinese and Korean culinary experience across the globe, with more than one fifth of the world’s population using them daily to eat. In this vibrant, highly original account of the history of chopsticks, Q. Edward Wang charts their evolution from a simple eating implement in ancient times to their status as a much more complex, cultural symbol today. Opening in the Neolithic Age, at the first recorded use of chopsticks, the book surveys their practice through Chinese history, before exploring their transmission in the fifth century to other parts of Asia, including Vietnam, Korea, Japan and Mongolia. Calling upon a striking selection of artwork, the author illustrates how chopstick use has influenced Asian

cuisine, and how, in turn the cuisine continues to influence chopstick use, both in Asia and across the globe. Advance praise: ‘Questions you would have never thought to ask are expertly answered in this timely volume. The pages and chapters bring to light unique facets of Chinese life that are usually reserved for interrogation by focusing on the Chinese written language as a special East Asian ‘cultural sphere’. By addressing chopsticks Wang neatly augments that sphere by adding culinary history to the cultural mix.’ Benjamin A. Elman, Princeton University

Although many see the four noble truths as the kernel of the historical Buddha’s teachings, early texts reveal they are a later development. Shulman illustrates that these truths originated as observations to be cultivated during meditation, challenging the conventional view that the Buddha’s teachings represent universal themes of human existence.

Philosophy of Religion Towards a More Humane Approach John Cottingham University of Reading and Heythrop College, University of London

John Cottingham’s Philosophy of Religion shows how fruitful discussion of the philosophy of religion is not just about abstract intellectual argument; it also impinges on aspects of ordinary human experience. Cottingham covers the main topics of the subject, including the meaning of religious claims, the existence of God and the relation between religion and morality, as well as the role of religious spirituality. ‘This insightful and beautifully clear book shows us how to think philosophically about religion – not just religious beliefs but also the habits, practices and transformations that constitute religious life. Cottingham combines careful, rigorous analysis and exemplary scholarship with rare sensitivity to the spiritual questions which animate the philosophy of religion but are too often obscured by it.

Religious Diversity Philosophical and Political Dimensions Roger Trigg University of Oxford

Religious diversity, and conflict between religions, poses philosophical problems. It also provides growing political problems among the nations. How can religious pluralism be politically managed? Religious Diversity: Philosophical and Political Dimensions argues that the need for tolerance must not result in an attack on the ability of any religion to claim truth. Religious freedom matters, and the search for a truth that applies to all. ‘A much-needed and illuminating discussion of both the philosophical and social issues of religious freedom and diversity in contemporary societies.’ Keith Ward, University of Oxford Cambridge Studies in Religion, Philosophy, and Society

Sociology of religion New Centers of Global Evangelicalism in Latin America and Africa Stephen Offutt Asbury Theological Seminary, Kentucky

This book shows that new centers of Christianity have taken root in the global south. Stephen Offutt argues that local and global religious social forces, as opposed to other social, economic, or political forces, are primarily responsible

for the social developments in these communities. Advance praise: ‘The explosive growth of Evangelical Protestantism in many countries is one of the most important religious developments today. This book by Stephen Offutt, based on original research in El Salvador and South Africa, provides a fascinating picture of the interaction of international and local Evangelical forces.

God vs. the Gavel The Perils of Extreme Religious Liberty Second edition Marci A. Hamilton Cordozo School of Law, Yeshivan University

God vs. the Gavel: The Perils of Extreme Religious Liberty sets the record straight about the United States’ move toward extreme religious liberty. This thoroughly revised second edition features a new introduction and epilogue and many contemporary examples. ‘In this highly readable and timely book, Marci Hamilton sheds much needed light on the ways in which religious groups and institutions – often aided and abetted by ‘dealmaker’ politicians – enjoy special treatment under the law, often to the detriment of others and the broader society. Highlighting the key distinction between religious belief and behavior, Hamilton argues that while freedom of religious belief deserves absolute constitutional protection, actions undertaken in the name of religion must be limited when they cause harm. This deceptively simple message, illuminated by Hamilton’s impressive scholarship, deserves the attention not only of scholars, lawmakers, and religious practitioners, but also of average citizens whose everyday lives are – often unwittingly – impacted by the issues she raises.’ Hella Winston, journalist and author of Unchosen: The Hidden Lives of Hasidic Rebels 2014 228 x 152 mm 488pp 978-1-107-08744-6 Hardback £55.00 / US$75.00 978-1-107-45655-6 Paperback £19.99 / US$27.99 For all formats available, see

Making Religion Safe for Democracy Transformation from Hobbes to Tocqueville J. Judd Owen Emory University, Atlanta

J. Judd Owen sheds new light on the ambiguous status of religion in modern democratic society by tracing a surprisingly unified reinterpretation of Christianity by Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Thomas Jefferson and comparing that reinterpretation to Alexis de Tocqueville’s analysis of the democratic transformation of religion in the early United States. ‘A study of religion in the advance of liberal political theory culminating in Tocqueville, who changes its place profoundly. J. Judd Owen’s book is

distinguished for clarity and eloquence of its own, and because it discerns and borrows from Tocqueville’s wisdom.’ Harvey Mansfield, Harvard Unviersity, Massachusetts and Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution 2014 228 x 152 mm 182pp 978-1-107-03679-6 Hardback £60.00 / US$95.00 For all formats available, see

Science and Spirituality Making Room for Faith in the Age of Science Michael Ruse Florida State University

Michael Ruse offers a new analysis of the often troubled relationship between science and religion. Arguing against both extremes – in one corner, the New Atheists; in the other, the Creationists and their offspring the Intelligent Designers – he asserts that science is the highest source of human inquiry. Yet, by its very nature and its deep reliance on metaphor, science restricts itself and is unable to answer basic, significant questions about the meaning of the universe and humankind’s place within it: why is there something rather than nothing? What is the meaning of it all? Ruse shows that one can legitimately be a skeptic about these questions, and yet why it is open for a Christian, or member of any faith, to offer answers. Scientists, he concludes, should be proud of their achievements but modest about their scope. Christians should be confident of their mission but respectful of the successes of science. ‘Michael Ruse has written an insightful and accessible book belonging to the genre of rapprochements between science and religion.

Textbook

Medieval Heresies Christianity, Judaism, and Islam Christine Caldwell Ames University of South Carolina

This advanced undergraduate textbook is the first comparative survey of heresy and its response throughout the medieval world. Spanning England to Persia, it examines heresy, error, and religious dissent – and efforts to end them through correction, persuasion, or punishment – among Latin Christians, Greek Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Advance praise: ‘By showing that heresy can be treated within a single framework which embraces Christianity, Judaism and Islam, Caldwell Ames has in effect redefined the subject, and made an important contribution to comparative world history. In doing so she sustains a high level of learning and intellectual power and originality over a range almost as remarkable chronologically – from patristic times until the early modern period – as culturally.’ R. I. Moore, Newcastle University

The Polish Underground and the Jews, 1939–1945 Joshua D. Zimmerman Yeshiva University, New York

This book examines one of the central problems in the history of Polish-Jewish relations: the attitude and the behavior of the Polish Underground towards the Jews during the Holocaust. Zimmerman argues that the reaction of the Polish Underground was immensely varied, ranging from aggressive aid to acts of murder. Advance praise: ‘This is a superb history of one of the oddest episodes of World War II. Zimmerman has emerged as one of the best experts on the history of the controversial Polish-Jewish relations. His matter-of-fact style further dramatizes the Polish-Jewish affairs during World War II when the Polish underground army heroically fought against the Nazis, sometimes killing and sometimes helping the Jews who also participated in the anti-Nazi struggle. A shocking drama and a wonderfully researched, documented and written book – a real page-turner.’

Every Day Lasts a Year A Jewish Family’s Correspondence from Poland Edited by Christopher R. Browning

Open Access and the Humanities is essential reading for all who work in the humanities. It gives a clear summary of the histories of open, online access to research, the specific challenges and benefits to the humanities, and the controversies that have raged about scholarly communication in a digital age. This title is also available as open access via Cambridge Books Online. ‘Eve’s book gives a synoptic and multi-layered overview of many of the different factors at play in scholarly communication in the humanities, and offers valuable suggestions about how a transition to open access in the humanities might take better account of these factors, bringing much needed critical and constructive reflection to the contemporary pursuit of a long held dream. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of open access and scholarly communication in the humanities, and a rallying call for more researchers to join those working to shape this future.’ Jonathan Gray, Director of Policy and Research, Open Knowledge

Messianic Religious Zionism Confronts Israeli Territorial Compromises Motti Inbari University of North Carolina, Pembroke

The book discusses how the rabbinical elite of the Israeli West Bank settlers responded to Israeli territorial compromises. This book explains their profound disillusionment with the state, reflected in increased religious radicalization due to the need to cope with feelings of religious and messianic failure. The research also compares the American Christian Evangelical response to Israeli territorial compromises.

‘Lenn Goodman invites us to consider – through insight, suggestion, and example – how mature, thoughtful pluralists would decide about matters of public policy, human rights, and humanitarian intervention. While he does not scant highly empirical, topical political discussions, he traces the values that inform such current discussions down to their philosophical foundations. In this way, Goodman’s book is a unique contribution to the literature on pluralism. It is written in an inimitable literary style; its prose is resonant with rich descriptions, vivid examples, evocative commentaries on texts from several religious traditions, lucidly argued moral suasion, and careful scholarly criticism.’

‘Motti Inbari’s book is an insightful introduction into Messianic Religious Zionists’ (MRZ) evolving worldviews as they relate to political negotiations over land compromises. Inbari is particularly insightful in his discussion of the changes in approach since the Oslo period in the 1990s … [he] effectively synthesizes significant secondary sources with available primary sources to provide a stimulating and much-needed analysis of the changing attitudes of MRZ rabbis and followers toward violent responses to territorial compromises.’

The Fascists and the Jews of Italy Mussolini’s Race Laws, 1938– 1943 Michael A. Livingston Rutgers-Camden School of Law

This book describes the history and nature of the Italian Race Laws, a series of anti-Jewish laws adopted by Fascist Italy and in force during the period (1938–43) when Italy was independent of German control. It is the first truly comprehensive survey of the Race Laws written in the English language. ‘Michael A. Livingston brilliantly explores the legal framework, case-level operation, and ominous consequences of Fascist Italy’s racial laws from their introduction in 1938 to the regime’s destruction in 1943. He offers original and often disturbing perspectives on the legal-bureaucratic mechanisms of the Holocaust, the character of modern Italy, and the rule of law. Livingston’s analysis is unrivalled in conceptual sophistication, mastery of the relevant legal scholarship, profound knowledge of the historical literature, and painstaking archival research. The Fascists and the Jews of Italy is a splendid introduction to issues that remain unresolved – a full seventy years after Fascist Italy’s ignominious end.’ MacGregor Knox, Stevenson Professor of International History Emeritus, London School of Economics and Political Science Studies in Legal History
