From Default Atheism to the Surprise of Revelation William Desmond
The Ecological Theology of St. Hildegard of Bingen Michael Marder
UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME PRESS
STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
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.
A philosophical medita�on on twel�h-century mys�c and polymath Saint Hildegard of Bingen and her vegetal vision of crea�on, which greens theological tradi�on and imbues plant life with spirit. Accompanied by cellist Peter Schuback's musical movements, which echo both Hildegard's own composi�ons and key themes of the book.

Religion, Art, and Presence Together Anthony B. Pinn
DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
Anthony B. Pinn theorizes religion as a technology for interroga�ng human experiences and the boundaries between people and other things. Rather than considering religion in terms of ins�tu�ons, doctrines, and creeds, Pinn shows how religion exposes the openness and porousness of all things and how they are always involved in processes of exchange and interplay.
In Imita�ons of Infinity, Michael A. Mo�a places Gregory of Nyssa at the center of a world filled with Platonic philosophers, rhetorical teachers, and early Chris�an leaders all compe�ng over what and how to imitate. Their debates demanded the a�en�ons of people at every level of the Roman Empire. 3

FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS
NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS
The Body of the Cross is a study of holy vic�ms in Western Chris�an history, and how the uses of their bodies in Chris�an thought led to the idea of the cross as a subs�tu�onary sacrifice. Since its first centuries, Chris�anity has traded on the suffering of vic�ms—martyrs, mys�cs, and here�cs— as subs�tutes for the Chris�an social body.
Nancy Tatom Ammerman draws on examples ranging from Accra to Chicago to show how deeply religion permeates everyday lives. This book offers a framework of seven dimensions around which we can analyze lived religious prac�ce, with examples showing the range of methods available, and prac�cal �ps for how to begin.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
This volume offers theore�cal, historical, and legal perspec�ves on religious freedom, as an experience, value, and right. Drawing on examples from around the world, its essays show how the terrain of religious freedom has never been smooth and how in recent years the landscape of religious freedom has shi�ed. 5
The debate around the controversial doctrine of the Eucharist as sacrifice has dogged rela�ons between Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant churches since the Reforma�on. The famous Russian theologian Sergius Bulgakov cuts through long-standing polemics surrounding the no�on of the Eucharist as sacrifice and offers a stunningly original interven�on rooted in his dis�nc�ve theological vision.

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.
The essays in this collec�on shed new light on the women who make up a considerable majority of the Orthodox popula�on by engaging women’s lifeworlds, prac�ces and experiences in rela�on to their religion in mul�ple, varied locali�es, discussing both contemporary and pre-1989 developments. 6
