Symbols of JesusA Christology of Symbolic EngagementRobert Cummings NevilleBoston University

This is a systematic theology focusing onwhat makes Jesus important inChristianity. It studies six families ofsymbols about Jesus, showing how they aretrue for some people, not true for others,and not meaningful for a third group.Divine creation is analysed in metaphysicaland symbolic terms, and religioussymbolism is shown to be whollycompatible with a late-modern scientificworld view. Robert Cummings Neville, aleading philosophical theologian, presentsand illustrates an elaborate theory ofreligious symbols according to which Godis directly engaged in symbolically shapedthinking and practice. Symbols are notdistancing substitutes for God. Theology ofsymbolic engagement is defended as analternative to doctrinal or descriptivetheology. This major work re-shapes theway we think about Jesus, and will be ofvalue to students, academics, clergy withtheological training, and others grapplingwith the meaning and importance ofreligious symbols in our age.2002 228 x 152 mm 318pp 17 half-tones 7 colour plates0 521 80787 5 Hardback £45.000 521 00353 9 Paperback £15.95

Narrative, Religion and ScienceFundamentalism versus Irony, 1700–1999Stephen PrickettDuke University, North Carolina

An increasing number of contemporaryscientists, philosophers and theologiansdownplay their professional authority anddescribe their work as simply ‘telling storiesabout the world’. If this is so, StephenPrickett argues, literary criticism can (andshould) be applied to all these fields.

Such new-found modesty is not necessarilypostmodernist scepticism towards all grandnarratives, but it often conceals awidespread confusion and naïvety aboutwhat ‘telling stories’, ‘description’ or‘narrative’, actually involves. Whilepostmodernists define ‘narrative’ inopposition to the experimental ‘knowledge’of science (Lyotard), some scientists insistthat science is itself story-telling (Gould);certain philosophers and theologians evensee all knowledge simply as stories createdby language (Rorty; Cupitt). Yet storytelling is neither innocent nor empty-handed. Prickett argues that since theeighteenth century there have been onlytwo possible ways of understanding theworld: the fundamentalist, and the ironic.2002 228 x 152 mm 290pp0 521 81136 8 Hardback £45.000 521 00983 9 Paperback £15.95

Law and ProtestantismThe Legal Teachings of the LutheranReformationJohn Witte, JrEmory University, Atlanta

The Lutheran Reformation of the earlysixteenth century brought about immenseand far-reaching change in the structures ofboth church and state, and in bothreligious and secular ideas. This bookinvestigates the relationship between thelaw and religious ideology in Luther’sGermany, showing how they developed inresponse to the momentum of Lutheranteachings and influence. Profound changesin the areas of education, politics andmarriage were to have long-lasting effectson the Protestant world, inscribed in thelegal systems inherited from that period.John Witte, Jr. argues that it is not enoughto understand the Reformation either intheological or in legal terms alone but thata perspective is required which takes properaccount of both. His book should beessential reading for scholars and studentsof church history, legal history,Reformation history, and in adjacent areassuch as theology, ethics, the law, andhistory of ideas.2002 228 x 152 mm 357pp 7 half-tones0 521 78132 9 Hardback £47.500 521 01299 6 Paperback £16.95

Divine Action and Modern ScienceNicholas SaundersUniversity of Oxford

Divine Action and Modern Science considersthe relationship between the naturalsciences and the concept of God acting inthe world. Nicholas Saunders examines theBiblical motivations for asserting acontinuing notion of divine action andidentifies several different theologicalapproaches to the problem. He considerstheir theoretical relationships with the lawsof nature, indeterminism, and probabilisticcausation. His book then embarks on aradical critique of current attempts toreconcile special divine action withquantum theory, chaos theory andquantum chaos. As well as considering theimplications of these problems forcommon interpretations of divine action,Saunders also surveys and codifies themany different theological, philosophicaland scientific responses to divine action.The conclusion reached is that we are stillfar from a satisfactory account of how Godmight act in a manner that is consonantwith modern science despite the copiousrecent scholarship in this area.

‘Concern with questions of divineaction has been at the top of the agendain the field of science and theology overthe past ten years. Nicholas Saundersoffers a comprehensive and insightfulreview of this activity that will be avaluable guide to many readers.’

How To Be An AtheistInaugural Lecture Delivered at the Universityof Cambridge, 12 October 2001 Denys TurnerUniversity of Cambridge

Denys Turner is a philosopher who holds achair in Cambridge’s Faculty of Divinity. Inthis erudite and entertaining lecture heexplores the conditions for the belief thatGod does not exist. According to Turner,the first challenge lies in acknowledging thequestion ‘Does God exist?’ to be a validone. Once the question is established,various things follow, each one making itharder to maintain ‘atheism’ as a credible orinteresting position. Turner boxes atheistsinto a philosophical corner, showing howthe belief that something has come ofnothing is itself an acknowledgement ofGod’s existence. Enlisting the help ofthinkers as diverse as Aquinas, Kant,Wittgenstein, Nicholas Lash and JohnMilbank, Turner’s witty and provocativepiece will be of interest to anyone engagedin religious enquiry who has wonderedabout the nature and status of atheism as adefendable intellectual position in our age.2002 186 x 123 mm 36pp0 521 52632 9 Paperback c. £8.95Publication August 2002

Silence and the WordNegative Theology and IncarnationEdited by Oliver DaviesUniversity of Wales, Lampeterand Denys TurnerUniversity of Cambridge

Negative theology or apophasis – the ideathat God is best identified in terms of‘absence’, ‘otherness’, ‘difference’ – has beeninfluential in modern Christian thought,resonating as it does with secular notions ofnegation developed in recent continentalphilosophy. Apophasis also has a strongintellectual history dating back to the earlyChurch Fathers. Silence and the Word bothstudies the history of apophasis andexamines its relationship withcontemporary secular philosophy. LeadingChristian thinkers explore in their own waythe extent to which the concept of theapophatic illumines some of the deepestdoctrinal structures of Christian faith, andof Christian self-understanding both interms of its historical and contemporarysituatedness, showing how a dimension ofnegativity has characterised not onlytraditional mysticism but most forms ofChristian thought over the years.2002 228 x 152 mm 272pp0 521 81718 8 Hardback c. £40.00Publication June 2002

Realism and Christian FaithGod, Grammar, and MeaningAndrew MooreUniversity of Oxford

The question of realism – that is, whetherGod exists independently of human beings– is central to much contemporarytheology and church life. It is also animportant topic in the philosophy ofreligion. This book discusses therelationship between realism and Christianfaith in a thorough and systematic way anduses the resources of both philosophy andtheology to argue for a Christocentricnarrative realism. Many previous defencesof realism have attempted to modelChristian belief on scientific theory butMoore argues that this comparison ismisleading and inadequate on boththeological and philosophical grounds.Using Speech Act theory and the work ofnon-realists and Wittgensteinians, he offersa new account of the meaningfulness ofChristian language; and uses this todevelop a regulative conception of realismaccording to which God’s independentreality is shown principally in Christ and,on this basis, through Christian practicesand the lives of Christians.2002 228 x 152 mm 288pp0 521 81109 0 Hardback c. £47.500 521 52415 6 Paperback c. £17.95Publication November 2002

Theology and the Dialogue ofReligionsMichael Barnes SJUniversity of London

Theology of religions is an area oftheological reflection on inter-religiousrelations which raises fundamentalquestions for all people of faith in apluralist, post-modern world. How topractise a religious faith with integritywhile respecting other claims toultimate truth? Must ‘the other’ alwaysbe regarded as a problematiccomplication on the fringes of aChristianity-centred world? Is there a‘third way’ between an all-dominatingexclusivism and a vapid relativism? Thisbook contributes to the debate aboutthe place of inter-religious relations inthe life of the Church by developing a‘theology of dialogue’. In offering acritique of much current thinking inthis area, Michael Barnes SJ proposesinstead a theology rooted in the themesof welcome and hospitality. He arguesfor a vision of Christianity as a ‘schoolof faith’, a community called not just toteach others but to learn from them aswell.

• An alternative vision of how Christianfaith is to be articulated throughdialogue with ‘the other’

• Addresses a subject of intense debatewithin and among the churches inrecent years

• Will sell both to academic theologiansand ethicists, as well as to churchprofessionals and others involved withinter-faith relations both in Europe andthe US

Euthanasia, Ethics and PublicPolicyAn Argument Against LegalisationJohn KeownUniversity of Cambridge

Whether the law should permit voluntaryeuthanasia or physician-assisted suicide isone of the most vital questions facing allmodern societies. Internationally, the mainobstacle to legalisation has proved to be theobjection that, even if they were morallyacceptable in certain ‘hard cases’, voluntaryeuthanasia and physician-assisted suicidecould not be effectively controlled; societywould slide down a ‘slippery slope’ to thekilling of patients who did not make a freeand informed request, or for whompalliative care would have offered analternative. How cogent is this objection?This book provides the general reader (whoneed have no expertise in philosophy, lawor medicine) with a lucid introduction tothis central question in the debate, notleast by reviewing the Dutch euthanasiaexperience. It will interest all in anycountry whether currently for or againstlegalisation, who wish to ensure that theiropinions are better informed.2002 228 x 152 mm 320pp0 521 80416 7 Hardback £47.500 521 00933 2 Paperback £16.95

Living Together and ChristianEthicsAdrian ThatcherCollege of St Mark and St John, Plymouth

Living Together and Christian Ethics isthe first positive, in-depth study ofcohabitation outside marriage from amainstream Christian theologicalperspective. The book retrieves thetraditions of betrothal from the Bibleand church history, and shows howthese can transform Christian attitudesto living together before marriage. Acrucial distinction is made betweenprenuptial cohabitation where marriageis intended, and nonnuptialcohabitation where it is avoided. Sincebetrothal was widely understood as areal beginning of marriage, the bookargues for a complete pastoral,theological and liturgical renewal thatreclaims the riches of forgottenChristian marital traditions andredeploys them in conveying the goodnews of the faith to women and menwho are not yet married. The booktakes issue with theologians whomarginalize marriage, and suggests thatthe recognition of marital values can actas a helpful bridge between Christianteaching and people who are notformally married.

• The first positive in-depth study ofcohabitation outside marriage from amainstream Christian theologicalperspective

• Argues that Christian teaching is ableto sanction people living together if theyintend to marry

• Offers new support for marriage,disagreeing both with theologians whodismiss it and with social commentatorswho dismiss all forms of cohabitation

Self Love and Christian EthicsDarlene Fozard WeaverVillanova University, Pennsylvania

Self love is an inescapable problem forethics, yet much of contemporary ethics isreluctant to offer any normative moralanthropologies. Instead, secular ethics andcontemporary culture promote a norm ofself-realization which is subjective anduncritical. Christian ethics also fails toaddress this problem directly, because ittends to investigate self love within thecontext of conflicts between the self ’sinterests and those of her neighbors. SelfLove and Christian Ethics argues for rightself love as the solution of proper self-relation that intersects with love for Godand love for neighbor. Darlene FozardWeaver explains that right self love entails atrue self-understanding that is embodied inthe person’s concrete acts and relations. Inmaking this argument, she calls uponethicists to revisit ontological accounts ofthe self and to devote more attention toparticular moral acts.New Studies in Christian Ethics, 232002 216 x 138 mm 236pp0 521 81781 1 Hardback c. £40.000 521 52097 5 Paperback c. £14.95Publication October 2002

Biblical Poetics Before Humanismand ReformationChristopher OckerSan Francisco Theological Seminary

Biblical Poetics Before Humanism andReformation is a study of the interpretationof the Bible in the late Middle Ages.Scholastic theologians developed a distinctattitude toward textual meaning in thethirteenth and fourteenth centuries whichdeparted significantly from earlier trends.Their attitude tended to erode thedistinction, emphasized by the scholars ofSt. Victor in the twelfth century, betweenliteral and spiritual senses of scripture.Christopher Ocker argues that interpretersdeveloped a biblical poetics very similar tothat cultivated and promoted byProtestants in the sixteenth century, whichwas reinforced by the adaptation ofhumanist rhetoric to Bible reading afterLorenzo Valla. The book is a comparativestudy, drawing from a variety ofunpublished commentaries as well as morefamiliar works by Nicholas of Lyra, JohnWyclif, Jean Gerson, Denys theCarthusian, Wendelin Steinbach,Desiderius Erasmus, Philip Melanchthon,and John Calvin.2002 228 x 152 mm 282pp 2 graphs0 521 81046 9 Hardback £40.00

The Trial of the GospelAn Apologetic Reading of Luke’s TrialNarrativesAlexandru NeagoeAreopagus Centre for Christian Education andContemporary Culture

For many years Luke-Acts has been studiedas a work of history and theology. The Trialof the Gospel sets out to examine Luke’swritings as an apologetic work, by focusingon those parts of Luke’s story where theapologetic overtones seem most prominent– the trial narratives. By analysing the trialsof all major Lukan characters – Jesus, Peter,Stephen, and Paul – Alexandru Neagoeargues that the narratives are bestunderstood when viewed as part of Luke’sapologia pro evangelio, a purpose which is inkeeping with the author’s declared aim togive his readers ‘assurance’ about the‘matters’ in which they had been instructed(Luke 1:4). Neagoe concludes that thespecific role of the trial narratives is toprovide the framework within whichimportant tenets of the Christian faith arethemselves put ‘on trial’ before the reader,with the intended result of the gospel’sconfirmation.Society for New Testament Studies MonographSeries, 1162002 216 x 138 mm 272pp0 521 80948 7 Hardback £40.00

Geography in Early Judaism andChristianityThe Book of JubileesJames M. ScottTrinity Western University, British Columbia

He traces the appropriation ofthe Book of Jubilees in early Christiansources from the New Testament toHippolytus and beyond, and morespecifically focuses on the reception ofJubilees 8–9, an expansion of the so-calledTable of Nations in Genesis 10 (1 Chronicles 1). The book takes aninterdisciplinary approach based ondetailed analysis of primary sources, muchof which is seldom considered by NewTestament scholars, and explores theneglected topic of ancient geographicalconceptions.

Jesus and Israel’s Traditions ofJudgement and RestorationSteven M. Bryan

Jesus and Israel’s Traditions of Judgement andRestoration examines the eschatology ofJesus by evaluating his appropriation ofsacred traditions related to Israel’srestoration. It addresses the way in whichJesus’ future expectations impinged uponhis understanding of key features of Jewishsociety. Scholars have long debated thedegree to which Jesus’ eschatology can besaid to have been realized. This bookbreaks new ground by considering Jesus’expectations regarding key constitutionalfeatures of the eschaton: the shape of thepeople of God, purity, Land and Temple.Bryan shows that Jesus’ anticipation ofcoming national judgement led him to useIsrael’s sacred traditions in ways thatdiffered significantly from their use by hiscontemporaries. This did not lead Jesus tothe conviction that Israel’s restoration hadbeen delayed. Instead he employed Israel’straditions to support a differentunderstanding of restoration and a beliefthat the time of restoration had arrived.Society for New Testament Studies MonographSeries, 1172002 216 x 138 mm 296pp0 521 81183 X Hardback £45.00

The Myth of a Gentile GalileeMark A. ChanceySouthern Methodist University, Dallas

The Myth of a Gentile Galilee is the mostthorough synthesis to date of archaeologicaland literary evidence relating to thepopulation of Galilee in the first-centuryCE. The book demonstrates that, contraryto the perceptions of many New Testamentscholars, the overwhelming majority offirst-century Galileans were Jews. Utilizingthe gospels, the writings of Josephus, andpublished archaeological excavation reports,Mark A. Chancey traces the historicaldevelopment of the region’s population andexamines in detail specific cities andvillages, finding ample indications ofJewish inhabitants and virtually none forgentiles. He argues that any NewTestament scholarship that attempts tocontextualize the Historical Jesus or theJesus movement in Galilee mustacknowledge and pay due attention to theregion’s predominantly Jewish milieu.

New Creation in Paul’s Letters andThoughtMoyer V. HubbardBiola University, California

As a biblical motif, ‘new creation’ resonatesthroughout the pages of the Jewish andChristian Scriptures, and occupies a centralplace in the apostle Paul’s vision of theChristian life. Yet the biblical and extra-biblical occurrences of this theme varywidely in meaning, referring to either anew cosmos, a new community, or a newindividual. Beginning with the OldTestament and working through theimportant texts of Second Temple Judaism,Moyer V. Hubbard focuses on how themotif functions in the argument, strategy,and literary structure of these documents,highlighting its role as the solution to theperceived plight. He then explores in detailwhich senses of the term Paul intends inGalatians 6.15 and 2 Corinthians 5.17,concluding that ‘new creation’ in Paul’sletters describes the Spirit-wrought newnessof the person in Christ, and isfundamentally anthropological inorientation.Society for New Testament Studies MonographSeries, 1192002 216 x 138 mm 332pp0 521 81485 5 Hardback c. £45.00Publication June 2002

Belly and Body in the PaulineEpistlesKarl Olav SandnesThe Norwegian Lutheran School of Theology

The belly is today a matter of muchconcern. Modern cultures, particularly inthe West, have developed means tocultivate this part of the body: corsets,exercises, revealing fashions. In thiscompelling exploration of the ‘belly’ motif,Karl Olav Sandnes asks whether St Paulmight be addressing a culture in which thestomach is similarly high on the agenda.The result is a surprising new insight intohis writings. Paul twice mentions the

enigmatic phrase ‘belly-worship’ (Phil 3;Rom 16). The proper context for thesetexts is the moral philosophy debate aboutmastering the desires, and the reputation ofEpicurus’ philosophy as promotingindulgence. The belly became a catchwordfor a life controlled by pleasures. Belly-worship was not only pejorative rhetoric,but developed from Paul’s conviction thatthe body was destined to a future withChrist.Society for New Testament Studies MonographSeries, 1202002 216 x 138 mm 332pp0 521 81535 5 Hardback c. £45.00Publication July 2002

The First Christian HistorianWriting the ‘Acts of the Apostles’Daniel MargueratUniversité de Lausanne, Switzerland

As the first historian of Christianity, Luke’sreliability is vigorously disputed amongscholars. The author of the Acts is oftenaccused of being a biased, imprecise, andanti-Jewish historian who created adistorted portrait of Paul. DanielMarguerat tries to avoid being caught inthis true/false quagmire when examiningLuke’s interpretation of history. Instead hecombines different tools – reflection uponhistoriography, the rules of ancienthistorians and narrative criticism – toanalyse the Acts and gauge thehistoriographical aims of their author.Marguerat examines the construction ofthe narrative, the framing of the plot andthe characterization, and places hisevaluation firmly in the framework ofancient historiography, where historyreflects tradition and not documentation.This is a fresh and original approach to theclassic themes of Lucan theology:Christianity between Jerusalem and Rome,the image of God, the work of the Spirit,the unity of Luke and the Acts.Society for New Testament Studies MonographSeries, 1212002 216 x 138 mm 304pp0 521 81650 5 Hardback c. £45.00Publication September 2002

He overturns theconventional model of Q as a single Greekdocument, and shows that Jesus saideverything in the original Aramaic source.Further analysis of other gospel passagesshows the evangelists editing a Greektranslation of an Aramaic source. On one,it can be shown that Mark utilises adifferent Aramaic source. A complex modelof Q is thus proposed.

Isaiah’s Christ in Matthew’sGospelRichard BeatonFuller Theological Seminary, California

Matthew’s theologically richquotation of Isaiah 42.1–4, traditionallyconsidered one of the four servant songs,underscores that manifest in Jesus’powerful message and deeds, particularlyhis healings and inclusion of themarginalized, is the justice that wasthought to accompany the arrival of thekingdom of God. The study exploresmodifications to the text-form of theIsaianic citations, their relationship to thesurrounding context, and the rhetoricalforce of the final form. It argues that thequotations are bi-referential, functioningon both a narrative and theological level,and also explores the issues surrounding thetroublesome ‘extraneous’ content.

Kierkegaard and the Treachery ofLoveAmy Laura HallDuke University, North Carolina

This is a major study of Kierkegaard andlove. Amy Laura Hall exploresKierkegaard’s description of love’s treachery,difficulty, and hope, reading his Works ofLove as a text that both deciphers andcomplicates the central books in hispseudonymous canon: Fear and Trembling,Repetition, Either/Or, and Stages on Life’sWay. In all of these works, the charactersare, as in real life, complex and incomplete,and the conclusions are perplexing. Hallargues that a spiritual void brings each textinto being, and her interpretation is asmuch about faith as about love. In a stylethat is both scholarly and lyrical, sheintimates answers to some of the puzzles,making a poetic contribution to ethics andthe philosophy of religion.

‘This is the most analytically persuasiveand, at the same time, homileticallymoving interpretation of Kierkegaard’scorpus as a whole of which I know.’

Inthe process he offered a republicanalternative to liberalism and socialism,criticized religious and politicalconservatism and set out the terms for thedevelopment of modern mass andindustrial society. Based on in-deptharchival research this book traces theemergence of republican political thoughtin Germany before the revolutions of 1848.Professor Moggach examines Bauer’srepublicanism and his concept of infiniteself-consciousness. He also explores themore disturbing aspects of Bauer’s critiqueof modernity, such as his anti-Semitism.

‘It is the product of over a decade ofsustained research and has been built,not only upon a familiarity with thecurrent concerns of political theory, butalso upon an important archivaldiscovery which significantly alters ourconception of the foundations of Bauer’sthought … It will undoubtedly establishitself as the standard work in this fieldand should attract a readership beyondGerman and Hegel/Marx specialistssince it is one of the few studies toapply new questions about republicanthought to Hegelianism and nineteenth-century German thought.’

Ecclesiastical HistoryMexican PhoenixOur Lady of Guadalupe: Image and Traditionacross Five CenturiesD. A. BradingUniversity of Cambridge

In 1999 Our Lady of Guadalupe wasproclaimed patron saint of the Americas byPope John Paul II. How did a sixteenth-century Mexican painting of the VirginMary attract such an unprecedentedhonour? Across the centuries the enigmaticpower of this image has aroused ferventdevotion in Mexico: it served as the bannerof the rebellion against Spanish rule and,despite scepticism and anti-clericalism, stillremains a potent symbol of the modernnation. But devotion was also sustained bythe tradition that in 1531 Mary appearedto a poor Indian named Juan Diego andmiraculously imprinted her likeness on his

cape. The purpose of this book is to tracethe intellectual origins, the suddenefflorescence and the adamantine resilienceof the tradition of Our Lady of Guadalupe.It is a story that will fascinate anyoneconcerned with the history of religion andits symbols.

‘This is a topic of central importance inthe Mexican collective imagination, bythe author of The First America. In amassive book supported by equallymassive scholarship Professor Bradingfocuses on the interpretation of theimage of Our Lady of Guadalupe overthe centuries, from the devout to thesceptical or iconoclastic. The strength ofthe book lies in its scholarship, itsclarity, its judicious comments, andabove all in the way it cuts acrosscultural and political history, thecolonial period, and the nineteenth andtwentieth centuries.’

Gregory of ToursHistory and Society in the Sixth CenturyMartin HeinzelmannDeutsches Historisches Institut, ParisTranslated by Christopher Carroll

For over 1400 years the Histories ofGregory of Tours (538–594) – theprincipal work of Merovingian history –have been understood as a ‘history of theFranks’ and as an objective portrayal ofhistory, albeit told by a naive narratorsucceeding only in chronologicalorganisation. A completely newinterpretation of the Histories is putforward in this book, in which the bishopof Tours can be seen to be giving each ofhis ‘Ten Books’ a self-contained topic, andalso making use of the patristic method oftypological biblical exegesis. Byappreciating these elements, we can seeclear connections between apparentlyunconnected, adjacent chapters, and tomake out their real function.

Church, Censorship and Culture inEarly Modern ItalyEdited by Gigliola FragnitoUniversità degli Studi, ParmaTranslated by Adrian Belton

The recent opening of the archive of theformer Congregation of the Holy Office inRome (the office of the ‘Inquisition’) hasyielded an extraordinary wealth ofdocumentation which is already alteringdramatically many long-standing views onthe repressive activity of the Roman churchduring the counter-Reformation. Drawingextensively upon this archival source, thisbook highlights the wide gap between theChurch’s aim to exert control over all

knowledge and actual implementation. Theplurality of the central offices, theircontradictory decisions, and theinadequacy of the peripheral officescombined to hamper truly effectivecensorship. But despite this failure indeveloping a unified expurgatory policy,such prohibition as there was had adisastrous effect upon Italian culture, andfor centuries Italians – jurists, scientists,Jews and common readers, as well asscholars – were deprived of their mostcherished books.Cambridge Studies in Italian History andCulture2001 228 x 152 mm 276pp 4 half-tones0 521 66172 2 Hardback £40.00

The Beginnings of EnglishProtestantismEdited by Peter MarshallUniversity of Warwickand Alec RyrieUniversity of Birmingham

Recent studies of the English Reformationhave tended either to emphasise the vitalityof traditional religious culture, or to shiftthe focus to the reigns of Elizabeth and theearly Stuarts. As a result the men andwomen who once seemed central to thestory, those who became Protestants in theearly and middle decades of the sixteenthcentury, have tended to be marginalised.These essays draw attention to thosecritical early years, and to the importanceof the evangelical movement in the makingof England’s religious revolution. Byconsidering themes such as conversion andmartyrdom, gender and authority, printingand propaganda, and the long shadow ofmedieval religious culture, the authorsshow early English Protestantism to havebeen a complex and many-headedmovement. Rather than assuming theonward march of Protestantism, the essaysreveal the unpredictable and deeply-contested process by which an EnglishProtestant identity came to be formed.2002 228 x 152 mm 254pp 6 half-tones0 521 80274 1 Hardback £40.000 521 00324 5 Paperback £14.95Publication May 2002

Wesley and the WesleyansReligion in Eighteenth-Century BritainJohn KentUniversity of Bristol

Wesley and the Wesleyans challenges thecherished myth that at the moment whenthe Enlightenment and the IndustrialRevolution were threatening the soul ofeighteenth-century England, an evangelicalrevival – led by the Wesleys – saved it. Thebook starts from the assumption that therewas no large-scale religious revival duringthe eighteenth century. Instead, the role ofwhat is called ‘primary religion’ – thenormal human search for ways of drawingsupernatural power into the private life ofthe individual – is analysed in terms of theemergence of the Wesleyan societies fromthe Church of England. The Wesleys’achievements are reassessed; there is fresh,unsentimental description of the role ofwomen in the movement, and anunexpectedly sympathetic picture emergesof Hanoverian Anglicanism.

‘Professor Kent provides sharply criticalyet sympathetic (or at leastunderstanding) portraits of Wesley,Wesleyans, and the place of what hehelpfully calls primary religion, andthere are deftly drawn relationships withQuakers, Dissent, and especially withAnglicanism. It is an important book.’

At the Gate of ChristendomJews, Muslims and ‘Pagans’ in MedievalHungary, c. 1000–c. 1300Nora BerendUniversity of Cambridge

Modern life in increasingly heterogeneoussocieties has directed attention to patternsof interaction, often using a framework ofpersecution and tolerance. This study ofthe economic, social, legal and religiousposition of three minorities (Jews,Muslims, and pagan Turkic nomads) arguesthat different degrees of exclusion andintegration characterised medieval non-Christian status in the medieval Christiankingdom of Hungary between 1000 and1300. A complex explanation of non-Christian status emerges from the analysisof their economic, social, legal, andreligious positions and roles. Existence onthe frontier with the nomadic world led tothe formulation of a frontier ideology, andto anxiety about Hungary’s detachmentfrom Christendom, which affected policiestowards non-Christians. The study alsosucceeds in integrating central Europeanhistory with the study of the medievalworld, while challenging such currentconcepts in medieval studies as frontiersocieties, persecution and tolerance,ethnicity, and ‘the other’.Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life andThought: Fourth Series, 502001 228 x 152 mm 362pp 2 maps0 521 65185 9 Hardback £45.00

The defence of thatmethodology gave rise to an infinite varietyof individual legal opinions, ultimatelyaccommodating changes in the law.

From the poetictext emerge such social issues of modernityas debates on suffrage, sexuality, manhood,and African-American and Jewishsubjectivities. By a reading method she calls‘social philology’ – a form of close readinginflected with the approaches of culturalstudies – Duplessis engages with the workof such canonical poets as Wallace Stevens,Ezra Pound, T.

Literature and Religious Culture inSeventeenth-Century EnglandReid BarbourUniversity of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

Reid Barbour’s study takes a fresh look atEnglish Protestant culture in the reign ofCharles I (1625–1649). In the decadesleading into the civil war and the executionof their monarch, English writers exploredthe experience of a Protestant life ofholiness, looking at it in terms of heroicendeavours, worship, the social order, andthe cosmos. Barbour examines sermons andtheological treatises to argue that Carolinereligious culture comprises a rich andextensive stocktaking of the conditions inwhich Protestantism was celebrated,undercut, and experienced. Barbour arguesthat this stocktaking was also carried out inunusual and sometimes quite secularcontexts; in the masques, plays and poetryof the era as well as in scientific works anddiaries. This broad ranging study offers an

The Power of the Passive Self inEnglish Literature, 1640–1770Scott Paul GordonLehigh University, Pennsylvania

Challenging recent work that contends thatseventeenth-century English discoursesprivilege the notion of a self-enclosed, self-sufficient individual, The Power of thePassive Self in English Literature recovers acounter-tradition that imagines selves asmore passively prompted than activelychoosing. This tradition – which Scott PaulGordon locates in seventeenth-centuryreligious discourse, in early eighteenth-century moral philosophy, in mideighteenth-century acting theory, and inthe emergent novel – resists autonomy anddefers agency from the individual to anexternal ‘prompter’. Gordon argues that thetrope of passivity aims to guarantee adisinterested self in a culture that wasincreasingly convinced that every deliberateaction involves calculating one’s owninterest. Gordon traces the origins of suchideas from their roots in the non-conformist religious tradition to theirflowering in one of the central texts ofeighteenth-century literature, SamuelRichardson’s Clarissa.2002 228 x 152 mm 290pp0 521 81005 1 Hardback £40.00

Further, Scheinbergargues that Jewish and Christian womenpoets had a special interest in Jewishdiscourse; calling on images from Judaismand the Hebrew Scriptures, their poetrycreated complex arguments about therelationships between Jewish and femaleartistic identity. She suggests that Jewishand Christian women used poetry as a sitefor creative and original theologicalinterpretation, and that they entered intodialogue through their poetry about theirown and each other’s religious and artisticidentities.

As in previous volumes,Maurice Cowling conducts his argumentthrough a series of encounters withindividual thinkers, including Burke,Disraeli, the Arnolds, Tennyson andTawney in the first half, and Darwin,Keynes, Orwell, Leavis and Berlin in thesecond.

This study examines how British politicsoperated in practice during the age ofMary, Queen of Scots, and explains howthe crises of the mid-sixteenth centurymoulded the future political shape of theBritish Isles. A central figure in thesestruggles was the fifth earl of Argyll, themost powerful magnate not only at thecourt of Queen Mary, his sister-in-law, butthroughout the three kingdoms. Hisdomination of the Western Highlands andIslands drew him into the complex politicsof the north of Ireland, while his Protestantcommitment involved him in Anglo-Scottish relations. His actions also helpeddetermine the Protestant allegiance of theBritish mainland and the political andreligious complexion of Ireland.

Throughout the text, which isbased on the Carlyle Lectures given inOxford in 1999, Jeremy Waldron discussescontemporary approaches to equality andrival interpretations of Locke, and this dualagenda gives the whole an unusual degreeof accessibility and intellectual excitement,of interest to philosophers, politicaltheorists, lawyers and theologians aroundthe world.2002 228 x 152 mm 256pp0 521 81001 9 Hardback c. £45.000 521 89057 8 Paperback c. £16.95Publication September 2002

Calendrical Tabulations,1900–2200Edward M. ReingoldUniversity of Illinois, Urbana-Champaignand Nachum DershowitzTel Aviv University

The momentous task of assembling such acomprehensive and accurate collection ofcalendars could only have been achieved bythe authors of the definitive text oncalendar algorithms, CalendricalCalculations. Using the algorithms outlinedin their earlier book, Professors Reingoldand Dershowitz have achieved the near-impossible task of simultaneouslydisplaying the date on thirteen differentcalendars over a three-hundred year period.Represented here are the Gregorian, ISO,Hebrew, Chinese, Coptic, Ethiopic,Persian, Hindu lunar, Hindu solar, andIslamic calendars; another three are easilyobtained from the tables with minimalarithmetic ( J.D., R.D. and Julian). Thetables also include phases of the moon,dates of solstices and equinoxes, andreligious and other special holidays for allthe calendars shown. Why produce a bookof tables in the computer age? Becausecomputer programs can cover only one ortwo calendars, have a limited range, are ofdubious accuracy, are difficult for a non-expert to use, or work only on a smallsubset of computers. This set ofbeautifully-produced tables will be of usefor centuries by anyone with an interest incalendars and the societies that producethem. It should also prove an invaluablereference tool for astronomers andgenealogists.2002 279 x 215 mm 640pp 300 tables0 521 78253 8 Hardback £85.00Publication July 2002
