American Crusade

Bad Humor

Christianity, Warfare, and National Identity, 1860–1920 Benjamin J. Wetzel

Race and Religious Essentialism in Early Modern England Kimberly Anne Coles

June 2022 234pp 10 b&w hal�ones 9781501763946 £38.00 / $47.95 HB

April 2022 248pp 9780812253733 £52.00 / $65.00 HB

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PRESS

When is a war a holy crusade? And when does theology cause Chris�ans to condemn violence? In American Crusade, Benjamin Wetzel argues that the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and World War I shared a cultural meaning for white Protestant ministers in the United States, who considered each conflict to be a modern-day crusade.

Race, in the early modern period, is a concept at the crossroads of a set of overlapping concerns of lineage, religion, and na�on. Bad Humor charts how these concerns converged around a pseudoscien�fic system that confirmed the absolute difference between Protestants and Catholics and jus�fied English colonial domina�on.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PRESS

FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS

In the same way that the rise of the New Right cannot be understood apart from the mobiliza�on of evangelicals, Zubovich shows that the rise of American liberalism in the twen�eth century cannot be understood without a historical account of the global poli�cal mobiliza�on of liberal Protestants.

In one corner of Appalachia, a group of American ci�zens has embraced the Russian Orthodox Church and through it Pu�n’s New Russia. This ethnography highlights an inten�onal community of converts who are exemplary of much broader networks of Russian Orthodox converts in the US.

Monastic Memory and the Loss of Egypt's Golden Age Christine Luckritz Marquis

PRESS

Mormon Peculiarity and U.S. Nationalism K. Mohrman

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

Are Mormons really so weird? Are they poten�ally queer? These ques�ons occupy the heart of this powerful rethinking of Mormonism and its place in U.S. history, culture, and poli�cs. K. Mohrman argues that Mormon peculiarity is not inherent to the La�er-day Saint faith tradi�on, as is o�en assumed, but rather a potent expression of U.S. excep�onalism.

Offers a fresh examina�on of Archbishop Theophilus of Alexandria's banishment of the socalled Tall Brothers, four Origenist monks who led monas�c communi�es in the western Egyp�an desert, and brings into dialogue narra�ve strands that have largely been separated in the scholarly tradi�on.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PRESS

Analyzing the religious narra�ves, prac�ces, and construc�ons of religious subjec�vity of diverse groups of Muslims in Old Delhi, Kalyani Menon reveals the ways in which Muslims variously contest the insular and singular understandings of na�on that dominate the sociopoli�cal landscape of the country and make place for themselves.

DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS

INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS

Provides a comprehensive history of Black Catholic nuns in the United States, tracing how Black sisters’ struggles were central to the long African American freedom movement. Williams calls a�en�on to Catholic women’s religious life as a stronghold of white supremacy and racial segrega�on—and thus an important ba�leground in the long African American freedom struggle.

Reconstructs in carefully researched detail the worldview of the ancient Israelites responsible for the Hebrew Bible. Kawashima argues that the ancient Israelites saw God in a radically different way than the peoples around them. Elegantly wri�en and powerfully argued, this book is essen�al reading for anyone wan�ng to grasp the Hebrew Bible and the ancient world that gave rise to it. 5

In Godsends, Desmond’s newest addi�on to his ambi�ous masterwork, he presents an original reflec�on on what he calls the “companioning” of philosophy and religion. Throughout the book, he follows an i�nerary that has something of an Augus�nian likeness: from the exterior to the interior, from the inferior to the superior.

Kotsko makes the case for the con�nued relevance of Chris�an theology for contemporary intellectual life, demonstra�ng its vibrancy as a crea�ve and construc�ve pursuit outside the church, rethinking its o�en rivalrous rela�onship with philosophy, and tracing the theological roots of modern models of governance and racial oppression.

This first study in English of the image of Christ in Russian literature highlights the importance of apopha�cism as a theological prac�ce and a literary method in understanding the Russian Christ.
