This Companion offers an introduction to Reformed theology, one of the most historically important, ecumenically active, and currently generative traditions of doctrinal inquiry, by way of reflecting upon its origins, its development, and its significance. Part I, Theological Topics, indicates the distinct array of doctrinal concerns which gives coherence over time to the identity of this tradition in all its diversity. Part II, Theological Figures, explores the life and work of a small number of theologians who not only have worked within this tradition, but have constructively shaped and inspired it in vital ways. The final part, Theological Contexts, considers the ways in which the resultant Reformed sensibilities in theology have had a marked impact both upon theological and ecclesiastical landscapes in different places and upon the wider societal landscapes of history. The result is a fascinating and compelling guide to this dynamic and vibrant theological tradition.

This seventh volume of The Cambridge History of Judaism provides an authoritative and detailed overview of early modern Jewish history, offering a detailed and authoritative interpretive survey of Judaism from 1500 to 1815. The essays, written by an international team of scholars, situate the Jewish experience in relation to the multiple political, intellectual and cultural currents of the period. They also explore and problematize the “modernization” of world Jewry over this period from a global perspective, covering Jews in the Islamic world and in the Americas, as well as in Europe, with many chapters straddling the conventional lines of division between Sephardic, Ashkenazic, and Mizrahi history. The most up to date, comprehensive, and authoritative work on this topic currently available, this volume will serve as an essential reference tool and ideal point of entry for advanced students and scholars of early modern Jewish history.

The Cambridge Edition of Early Christian Writings Volume 1: God Edited and translated by Andrew Radde-Gallwitz University of Notre Dame, Indiana

The Cambridge Edition of Early Christian Writings provides the definitive anthology of early Christian texts, from c.100 to 650 CE. Its six volumes reflect the cultural, intellectual and linguistic diversity of early Christianity and are organized thematically on the topics of God, practice, Christ, community, reading and creation. The series expands the pool of source material to include not only Greek and Latin writings, but also Syriac and Coptic texts. Additionally, the series rejects a theologically normative view by juxtaposing texts that were important in antiquity but later deemed ‘heretical’, with orthodox texts. The translations are accompanied by introductions, notes, suggestions for further reading and scriptural indices. The first volume focuses on early Christian writings about God’s nature and unity and the meaning of faith. It will be an invaluable resource for students and academic researchers in early Christian studies, history of Christianity, theology, religious studies and late antique Roman history.

Nicolaus of Damascus: The Life of Augustus and The Autobiography Edited with Introduction, Translations and Historical Commentary Edited and translated by Mark Toher Union College, New York

Nicolaus of Damascus, the chief minister of Herod the Great, was an exact contemporary of the first Roman emperor Augustus; he spent considerable time in Roman society and knew Augustus. The extensive remains of his Bios Kaisaros contain the earliest and most detailed account of the conspiracy against Julius Caesar and his assassination. The Bios also presents the most extensive account of the boyhood and early development of Augustus. This edition presents the Greek text and translation of the Bios and Nicolaus’ autobiography, along with a historical and historiographical commentary. The Introduction situates the text in relation to the considerable evidence for the life and career of Nicolaus preserved in the works of Josephus, addresses the problem of its date of composition, analyses the language and narrative technique of Nicolaus and discusses the Bios in relation to the evidence for Greek biographical encomium. 2016 216 x 138 mm 498pp 978-1-107-07561-0 Hardback £99.99 / US$160.00 For all formats available, see

Biblical Criticism in Early Modern Europe Erasmus, the Johannine Comma and Trinitarian Debate Grantley McDonald Universität Wien, Austria

This book explores the explosive social and political implications of Erasmus’ philological work on the Greek New Testament. When Erasmus (1516) failed to find Greek manuscript evidence for the ‘Johannine comma’, long considered the clearest biblical evidence for the Trinity, he unwittingly opened a vicious debate over the nature of the bible, its relationship with doctrine, and the role of the state in regulating private belief.

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

Zionism and Judaism A New Theory David Novak University of Toronto

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.

What Ifs of Jewish History From Abraham to Zionism Edited by Gavriel D. Rosenfeld Fairfield University, Connecticut

What if the Exodus had never happened? What if the Jews of Spain had not been expelled in 1492? What if Eastern European Jews had never been confined to the Russian Pale of Settlement? What if Adolf Hitler had been assassinated in 1939? What if a Jewish state had been established in Uganda instead of Palestine? Gavriel D. Rosenfeld’s pioneering anthology examines how these and other counterfactual questions would have affected the course of Jewish history. Featuring essays by sixteen distinguished scholars in the field of Jewish studies, What Ifs of Jewish History is the first volume to systematically apply counterfactual reasoning to the Jewish past. Written in a variety of narrative styles, ranging from the analytical to the literary, the essays cover three thousand years of dramatic events and invite readers to indulge their imaginations and explore how the course of Jewish history might have been different. ‘The enduring value of counterfactual approaches emerges clearly from Gavriel D. Rosenfeld’s ably constructed collection of perceptive and exciting essays. The volume is a major contribution to the method as well as to Jewish history.’ Jeremy Black, University of Exeter, and author of Other Pasts, Different Presents, Alternative Futures

HIGHLIGHT

The Cambridge Companion to Judaism and Law Edited by Christine Hayes Yale University, Connecticut

This book explores the Jewish conception of law from biblical to modern times. It traces the political, social, intellectual, and cultural circumstances that spawned competing Jewish approaches to the nomian character of the tradition, and its relationship to secular legal systems, including that of the modern state of Israel.

this period from a global perspective, covering Jews in the Islamic world and in the Americas, as well as in Europe, with many chapters straddling the conventional lines of division between Sephardic, Ashkenazic and Mizrahi history. The most up-to-date, comprehensive, and authoritative work in this field currently available, this volume will serve as an essential reference tool and ideal point of entry for advanced students and scholars of early modern Jewish history.

This book investigates the relationship between government and religion in Middle Eastern history. By tracing how political debates about leadership impacted the theological scholars and their own conception of communal guidance, it offers a new picture of premodern political authority and the connections between Western and Islamic civilizations.

The Beginnings of Islamic Law Late Antique Islamicate Legal Traditions Lena Salaymeh Tel-Aviv University

This is a major and innovative contribution to our understanding of the historical unfolding of Islamic law. Scrutinizing its historical contexts, Salaymeh proposes that Islamic law is a continuous intermingling of innovation and tradition. The book’s interdisciplinary approach provides accessible explanations and translations of complex materials and ideas. ‘It is not an exaggeration to say that I have waited a lifetime for this level of superlative and inspired workmanship to grace the field of Islamic jurisprudence. This erudite and path-paving book has all the elements of becoming a classic in the field. By her unrelentingly rigorous historical method and penetrating comparative approach, the author has quite literally established a model for compelling and undeniable scholarship in the field. All students of Islamic jurisprudence, and also comparative legal studies, will be studying and debating this landmark work for many years to come.’ Khaled Abou El Fadl, Alfi Professor of Law, University of California, Los Angeles

This book explores the evolution of a Shia Ismaili identity and crucial aspects of the historical forces that conditioned the development of the Muslim modern in late colonial South Asia, while remaining sensitized to the transregional and internationalist dimensions of this trajectory.

‘By far the most substantial and sophisticated study of the Ismailis in modern times, Mukherjee’s book is at the same time a significant contribution to the study of South Asian forms of intellectual, cultural, religious, and economic globalization. By attaching these processes to the debates and institutions that came to define a small Indian community from the nineteenth century, he is able to ground them historically in such a way as to show how the most minor

the adoption of shari’a law throughout Indonesia. ‘Buehler’s provocative study asks us to think twice before making facile assumptions about political parties, civil society and ‘Islamisation’ in post-Soeharto Indonesia. His conclusions will not go unchallenged, but the scholarship is superb, and the richness of the data, in terms of both geographic scope and historical depth, makes for a fascinating study about how old elites try to manipulate new sources of political legitimacy in a democratizing state. Buehler shows how a partnership of political opportunists and pious activists can produce Islamist outcomes without strong Islamic political parties. This is a book guaranteed to stimulate argument and debate.’ Sidney Jones, Director, Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict, Jakarta 2016 228 x 152 mm 286pp 2 tables 978-1-107-13022-7 Hardback £64.99 / US$99.99 For all formats available, see

TEXTBOOK

Reason, Revelation, and Devotion Inference and Argument in Religion William J. Wainwright University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee

The book presents a novel defense of the beneficial epistemic effect that extra logical features can have on the assessment of religious arguments. ‘William J. Wainwright has always been a person who philosophizes with his whole self. Little wonder, then if … he tries to show us how reasoning about what matters most is and ought to be existentially embedded. No surprise, when he makes his crosscultural case that rational conviction depends not only on logical acumen but on disciplined passions and habits of the heart.’ Marilyn McCord Adams, University of Oxford

Contents: 1. Four examples of religious reasoning; 2. The purposes of argument and person-relativity of proofs; 3. Religious reading and theological argument; 4. Passional reasoning; 5.

Secular Conversions Political Institutions and Religious Education in the United States and Australia, 1800–2000 Damon Mayrl Universidad Carlos III de Madrid

This book shows how campaigns for more or less secular policies in education were shaped by their interactions with the state throughout American and Australian history. In so doing, it explains how and why religion comes to be embraced or excluded from public life. ‘Secular Conversions leaps beyond overly general secularization debates to demonstrate how specific institutional conditions and political processes have shaped quite different accommodations of religion and education in two modern nation-states. This tour de force of comparative sociological history should inspire new ways of engaging one of the central contradictions of modernity – allowing for free institutions and practices of religion while maintaining the independence and secularity of public institutions.’ John R. Hall, University of California, Davis

Magical Hymns from Roman Egypt A Study of Greek and Egyptian Traditions of Divinity Ljuba Merlina Bortolani Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Germany

This interdisciplinary study investigates the divine personas in the so-called magical hymns of the Greek magical papyri which, in a corpus usually seen as a significant expression of religious syncretism with strong Egyptian influence, were long considered to be the ‘most authentically Greek’ contribution. Fifteen hymns receive a line-by-line commentary focusing on religious concepts, ritual practice, language and style. The overarching aim is to categorise the nature of divinity according to its Greek or Egyptian elements, examining earlier Greek and Egyptian sources and religious-magical traditions in order to find textual or conceptual parallels. Are the gods of the magical hymns Greek or Egyptian in nature? Did the magical hymns originate in a Greek or Egyptian cultural background? This book tries to answer these questions and to shed light on the religious plurality and/or fusion of the two cultures in the treatment of divinity in the Greek magical papyri. 2016 216 x 138 mm 488pp 978-1-107-10838-7 Hardback £104.00 / US$130.00 For all formats available, see

The Cambridge History of Religions in Latin America covers religious history in Latin America from pre-Conquest times until the present. This publication is important; first, because of the historical and contemporary centrality of religion in the life of Latin America; second, for the rapid process of religious change which the region is undergoing; and third, for the region’s religious distinctiveness in global comparative terms, which contributes to its importance for debates over religion, globalization, and modernity. Reflecting recent currents of scholarship, this volume addresses the breadth of Latin American religion, including religions of the African diaspora, indigenous spiritual expressions, non-Christian traditions, new religious movements, alternative spiritualities, and secularizing tendencies.

Religious Refugees in the Early Modern World An Alternative History of the Reformation Nicholas Terpstra University of Toronto

This book examines the emergence of the religious refugee as a mass phenomenon from the fifteenth through the eighteenth centuries. ‘This enormously rich, thoughtful, and penetrating book offers a strikingly new perspective on the Reformation by probing its abiding obsession with purity, contagion, and purgation. These instincts, common to many faiths, were the stimulus to massive movements of populations, and in the process helped reshape both contemporary society and the European mind. If we want to know how massive human suffering can emerge from the best of intentions, we could do no better than start with this book.’ Andrew Pettegree, University of St Andrews

The Great Christian Jurists series comprises a library of national volumes of detailed biographies of leading jurists, judges and practitioners, assessing the impact of their Christian faith on the professional output of the individuals studied. Little has previously been written about the faith of the great judges who framed and developed the English common law over centuries, but this unique volume explores how their beliefs were reflected in their judicial functions. This comparative study, embracing ten centuries of English law, draws some remarkable conclusions as to how Christianity shaped the views of lawyers and judges. Adopting a long historical perspective, this volume also explores the lives of judges whose practice in or conception of law helped

Descendancy Irish Protestant Histories since 1795 David Fitzpatrick AT&T Laboratories Research, Florham Park, New Jersey

This is a compelling account of Protestant loss of power and selfconfidence in Ireland since 1795. David Fitzpatrick examines the social and political ramifications of religious affiliation and belief as practised in fraternities, church congregations, and isolated sub-communities and illustrates how individuals experienced and perceived ‘descendancy’. ‘Historians sometimes explain the governance of eighteenth-century Ireland using the term Protestant Ascendancy. This compelling and accessible new book by David Fitzpatrick charts the decline in Protestant power afterwards, beginning in 1795 when the Orange Order formed. This was no uniform plunge into powerlessness. By exploring different facets of Protestantism, Fitzpatrick expertly reveals the dimensions of descent.’ Allan Blackstock, University of Ulster 2016 229 x 152 mm 282pp 9 b/w illus. 21 tables 978-1-107-44029-6 Paperback £19.99 / US$32.99 Also available 978-1-107-08093-5 Hardback £67.00 / US$102.00 For all formats available, see

This work surveys Europe’s infamous religious wars in order to offer a new understanding of the nature of religious peace – how it came into being and what it actually looked like. It will find a ready audience in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on European history of the early modern period. ‘Wayne P. Te Brake’s comparative approach to religious war and peace across northwestern Europe after the Protestant Reformation offers a newly coherent language for understanding how Europeans learned – in complex and messy ways – to live side-by-side with those they viewed as ‘heretics.’ In a modern world facing new threats

Also of interest

of religious war, Te Brake’s cleareyed yet optimistic interpretation of past generations’ struggle to find religious peace will interest many readers – enhanced by his creative use of visual representations of religious co-existence from across the divided continent.’ Randolph C.
