The Brill Dictionary of Religion

Edited by Kocku von Stuckrad
The new and impressively comprehensive Brill Dictionary of Religion addresses religion as an element of daily life and public discourse. Richly illustrated and with more than 500 entries, the dictionary is a multi-media reference source on the many and various forms of religious commitment. It is unusual in that it not only addresses the dierent theologies and doctrinal declarations of the ocial institutionalized religions but it also gives equal weight and consideration to a multiplicity of other religious phenomena. People perceive and express religious experiences in many dierent ways: through dance, sensuality, in relations between sexes and in compassion at death. Religions help determine how people form and perceive their identity as part of a social group. The diverse eects of religions can also be perceived in the environment, society and the public sphere. The Brill Dictionary of Religion helps map out and dene the networks and connections created by various religions in contemporary societies, and provides models for understanding these complex phenomena.
Kocku von Stuckrad (1966) is an

Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He is co-editor of the Numen Book Series (Brill) as well as the Religion and Society book series (Walter de Gruyter). His publications include an introduction to the study of religion (2003, with H.G. Kippenberg) and, most recently, Western Esotericism: A Brief History of Secret Knowledge (2005). Currently, he is working on methodological issues in the study of religion and the role of Western esotericism in early modern discourse. The editors of the original German version are Christoph Auarth, Jutta Bernard, and Hubert Mohr

BRILL CATALOG SPRING 2006 RELATED TITLE
The unexpected strength of religions in the world today requires a new kind of dictionary. The new Brill Dictionary of Religion answers that need. Instead of conveying religious subjects independent of their present signicance, it focuses on contemporary issues that aect religions and are aected by them; it dissects historical notions that feed the illusion of a timeless tradition (e.g. gnosticism); it evaluates methods and theories in terms of their capacity to shed light on religions in our culture; it discloses the impact modernity has on what seems to be old. Labor migration, media, violence, law, bioethics: these and other contemporary phenomena are the new arenas of religions. Religions are entering the public realm; the Brill Dictionary of Religion accompanies the process and helps the user grasping it. Prof. Hans G. Kippenberg, Max Weber Center, University of Erfurt.
Every time one consults the Brill Dictionary of Religion one is reminded, through texts and images, that religions are to be approached neither as selfcontained entities, nor as the summation of doctrinal developments; that religion, rather than having to do with disembodied speculation or with purely private experiences, is part of the material fabric of everyday life; that the study of religion cannot be undertaken without engaging in constant reexivity. Indeed, readers of this important reference work will be guided as much through the world of religious practices as through the current theoretical debates concerning what constitutes religion. Highly recommended for private and institutional libraries. Gustavo Benavides, Villanova University.

A Companion to Second-Century Christian Heretics

Edited by Antti Marjanen and Petri Luomanen
Sethianism, Valentinus school, Marcion, Tatian, Bardaisan, Montanists, Cerinthus, Ebionites, Nazarenes, Jewish-Christianity of the Pseudo-Clementines, and Elchasites. The Companion is a landmark. A handbook of the so-called heresies or heterodox Christianities of the rst and second centuries, it performs two functions at once, both equally important. It provides us with the most authoritative and lucid presentations of the consensus of scholarship on the given documents or tendencies or groups as well as giving us the considered, cutting-edge thinking of just the right scholar for each one. Daniel Boyarin (University of California, Berkeley). This volume will be essential reading, and an important reference work, for all those studying the variegated history of Christianity in the second century. It is certainly an excellent and timely production and will be very much appreciated as a resource by readers. Christopher Tuckett (Pembroke College). This lively collection of essays, authored by an impressive cast of international scholars, portrays some of the most creative and provocative Christian thinkers of the second century - Basilides, Valentinus, Marcion, Tatian, Montanus, and others - all of whom were destined to be called heretics and were to be silenced by their opponents. This fascinating book gives voice to these teachers once again, and it allows their alternative interpretations of Christianity to be heard with clarity. Marvin Meyer (Chapman University).

The Spiritual Seed The Church of the Valentinians

Einar Thomassen
This book is a comprehensive study of Valentinianism, the most important Gnostic Christian movement in Antiquity. It is the rst attempt to make full use of the Valentinian documents from Nag Hammadi as well as the reports of the Church Fathers. The book discusses the dierence between the Eastern and the Western branches of Valentinianism, and argues that individual sources must always be understood in the context of the historical development of Valentinian doctrines. It also analyses the ideas about the incarnation, protological theories, and initiation practice, as well as the dynamic relationship between these building-blocks of Valentinian doctrine. A nal chapter studies anew the doctrine of Valentinus himself and outlines the history of the movement. The books usefulness lies in its attempt to bring together for the rst time all the sources so as to construct a coherent picture of Valentinian Christianity. The author has a good sense of the philosophical and theological issues at stake and situates the tradition well in the intellectual world of the second century a very ambitious and very learned reconstruction of the Valentinian tradition. This monograph will make a major contribution to the study of early Christian life and thought. Harold W. Attridge (University of Notre Dame)

July 2005 ISBN 90 04 14487 0 Hardback (xviii, 198 pp.) List price EUR 89.- / US$ 127. Biblical Interpretation Series, 74 Using social-scientic criticism, this work presents a reading of Daniel 1-6 as literature of resistance. The characters and episodes of these tales are read against a backdrop of social competition for the cultural value of honor. Each of the tales of Daniel 1-6 is analyzed, revealing a comparison that is sustained throughout the compilation and that pits the Judean tradition in competition with a dominant foreign tradition. The dynamics of comparison and competition are explored in each tale with the help of social-scientic models depicting honor and exploring the related dynamics of purity, patronage, virtue, limited good, and envy. This work is particularly useful for scholars and students interested in socialscientic criticism and the value of that methodology for Hebrew Bible study, as well as for those interested in Daniel, honor and shame, ancient rhetoric, and cultural resistance in the postexilic period.

The Discourse of Wealth and Poverty in the Book of Proverbs

Timothy J. Sandoval
October 2005 ISBN 90 04 14492 7 Hardback (xvi, 236 pp.) List price EUR 76.- / US$ 99. Biblical Interpretation Series, 77 The Discourse of Wealth and Poverty in the Book of Proverbs argues that the discourse of wealth and poverty in Proverbs is more coherent than is usually thought, and is actually comprised of three distinct, but related subdiscourses of wealth and poverty. The key to discerning the three sub-discourses is recognizing the gurative interpretive possibilities of aspects of the text and the fact that a reading of the book as a whole requires, as a trope or gure does, a signicant interpretive act. The book contains an Introduction that includes a discussion of proverbs and
metaphor, an initial chapter that reviews major studies of wealth and poverty in Proverbs followed by three chapters that examine particular passages in Proverbs in depth. A conclusion reviews the works major conclusions and suggests a possible social-historical setting for the book. Scholars and students of biblical wisdom literature will nd this study particularly useful.

After Eden
Church Fathers and Rabbis on Genesis 3:16-21
Hanneke Reuling
This volume charts the interpretation of Genesis 3:16-21 in a number of patristic and classical rabbinic sources. It is a case study in the reception of a biblical fragment in two intrinsically related yet distinct interpretative communities: early Christianity and rabbinic Judaism. Following the lead of the biblical text, this study sheds new light on each traditions view of the human condition, more specically on the way Church Fathers and Rabbis approach the themes of procreation, labour, mortality and corporeality. The book carefully studies the reading of the biblical text as proposed by a number of representative and inuential authors or documents, including Ambrose of Milan, Didymus the Blind, John Chrysostom and Augustine, as well as Genesis Rabbah and Avot de Rabbi Nathan. The introductions at the beginning of each chapter enable also the non-specialist to enter the distinct literary worlds of midrash and patristic Bible interpretation.

Lutheran Reformation and the Law

Edited by Virpi Mkinen
The volume provides new evidence of how the legal ideas of the Lutheran Reformation were put into practice, especially in the Nordic countries, and how they worked in the history of law. Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden forming the largest Lutheran area in the world, this lacuna is considerable. The rst part of the book deals with the legal, theological and philosophical thought of the reformers. The second part examines the impact of the Reformation on particular aspects of legal reform, especially marriage and criminal law and the law on poor relief in the Northern Europe. The study is based on interdisciplinary research by theologians and legal historians.

The City in the Valley

Biblical Interpretation and Urban Theology
Dieter Georgi
Is there still promise in the metropolis? Can modern cities have lasting value? Drawing on a wide range of resources including the writings of Paul, the Apocalypse, Greco-Roman literature, church history, theology, and socioeconomic theory, Dieter Georgi answers yes. Our cities can become more than human and ecological garbage dumps; they can aspire to be communities where people live in harmony with one another and their environment. In support of this lofty goal, Georgi unmasks economic and political theories and elements of Christian theology that have led to the demise of cities and then advocates a new praxis of urban theology, a concrete way of living together in the cities of today and tomorrow. Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org). The late Dieter Georgi was Professor (Emeritus) for New Testament Studies at the Department of Protestant Theology at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universitt, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

The Dead Sea Scrolls have revolutionized our understanding of the literature of the Hebrew Bible, Second Temple Judaism, and the New Testament. The study of the Scrolls is now essential for understanding the history and transmission of the earliest biblical manuscripts, the development of apocalyptic and wisdom writings, and the rise of Jewish messianismto name only a few of the most important areas of biblical literature to which the Scrolls have made an enduring contribution. As the importance of the Scrolls has increased over the past decades, the scholarly literature has increased exponentially. This brief yet thorough book highlights the most important contributions the Scrolls have made to the study of the Bible and charts new territory for future research into the Scrolls and the Qumran
community. After reading The Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls, students and scholars alike will have the basic understanding of the Scrolls necessary for pondering even deeper questions regarding the history, literature, and theology of the Bible.

Retroverting Slavonic Pseudepigrapha

Toward the Original of the Apocalypse of Abraham
Alexander Kulik
Ancient Israelite and Early Jewish Literature

T.C. Vriezen and A.S. van der Woude. Translated by Brian Doyle
This book presents a wealth of information in a refreshing way. It not only describes the literature from the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), but it also puts it within the context of the literature of the Ancient Near East and Early Judaism. Written in a grand style, it is a witness to the superb scholarship of the late Adam S. van der Woude and Th.C. Vriezen. An ideal text book for graduate classes in Hebrew Bible, Old Testament, and Early Judaism.

SBL - Text-Critical Studies, 3 This work is the rst systematic attempt to apply retroversion to Slavonic pseudepigrapha. Slavonic literary tradition preserved translations of many important documents of ancient religious thought. The elaboration of principles and tools for the retroversion of these writings is critical for the proper understanding of the originals. This study contains a new translation of the Apocalypse of Abraham and is organized formally as a discussion of separate problematic segments of the text, classied according to the type of the retroverted phenomena. It will be of interest to those studying Jewish literature of the Second Temple period, early Christianity, history of religious thought, medieval Slavonic literature and linguistics, and ancient and medieval translation techniques.

The Body Royal

The Social Poetics of Kingship in Ancient Israel
Mark W. Hamilton
signs in language, objects, and movements (semiotics), in general, and the study of the body, in particular. This book argues that the royal psalms contain a set of ocially sanctioned notions about the royal body and its use. The king was thought to have an outsized, superhuman body owing to his being the son of the deity, a status he attained upon his coronation. Other texts, often from circles outside the royal court, signicantly altered these notions. The kings body was thus for ancient Israelites the locus of reection on power, gender, religion, and even international relations. Through careful historical analysis, it is possible to reconstruct the terms of an Iron Age intellectual inquiry that still inuences our contemporary world. This book rethinks the problem of Israelite kingship by examining how the male royal body and its self-presentation gured in the governance of the dual monarchies of Israel and Judah. As such, this is a reopening of old questions and an opening to new ones.

Trajectories in Near Eastern Apocalyptic

A Postrabbinic Jewish Apocalypse Reader
Edited by John C. Reeves
Modern treatments of Jewish apocalyptic usually terminate their discussions of this literature with the triumph of Rome over nationalist rebels at the time of the Second Jewish Revolt (132-135 CE). They hence fail to appreciate the impact of the subsequent rise of scriptural authority for the Abrahamic religions and the renewed vitality of the apocalyptic genre as a favored literary vehicle for the expression of social and cultural concerns by the major Near Eastern religious communities during the second half of the rst millennium CE. The present volume begins the process of righting this imbalance by providing an English-language anthology of a series of inuential Jewish apocalypses emanating from the Near East from roughly the early seventh to the midtwelfth centuries CE. Each text is newly translated into English and provided with an annotated commentary that elucidates its historical, literary, and religious contexts. Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org).

Cantos and Strophes in Biblical Hebrew Poetry

with Special Reference to the First Book of the Psalter
Pieter van der Lugt
This volume deals with the poetic framework and material content of the book of Psalms. The rhetorical analyses of Psalms 1-41 are preceded by a broad survey of the history of strophic investigation into Hebrew poetry, starting from the beginning of the nineteenth century. Formal and thematic devices demonstrate that the psalms are composed of a consistent pattern of cantos (stanzas) and strophes. The formal devices include quantitative balance on the level of cantos in terms of the number of verselines, verbal repetitions and transition markers. A quantitative structural approach also helps to identify the focal message of the poems. An introduction to the design of biblical poetry, describing the fundamentals that determine the macrostructure of individual compositions, concludes this massive study.

Rabbinic Categories
Construction and Comparison
Jacob Neusner
A systematic study of the canonical construction of Rabbinic categories, Halakhic, then Aggadic, followed by a comparison of the theological categoryformations in Rabbinic Judaism, generative vs. inert, primary vs. subordinate. The book provides a systematic and thorough account of the rules of making connections and drawing conclusions that govern in classes of documents, for the Halakhah from the Mishnah through the Bavli, for the Aggadah from Scripture through the Midrash-compilations, Genesis Rabbah, Leviticus Rabbah, and Pesiqta deRab Kahana; for both the Mishnah and Scripture through the Bavli. The book then compares and contrasts theological category-formations of the Rabbinic Aggadic writings by the criteria indicated in the title: generative vs. inert, primary vs. subordinate.

The Provenance of the Pseudepigrapha

Jewish, Christian, or Other?
James R. Davila
as Jewish background by New Testament specialists, they were transmitted almost entirely in Christian circles, often only in translation. Christian authors wrote some pseudepigrapha and did not necessarily always mention explicitly Christian topics. This book challenges the assumption that pseudepigrapha are Jewish compositions until proven otherwise. It proposes a methodology for understanding them rst in the social context of their earliest manuscripts, inferring still earlier origins only as required by positive evidence while considering the full range of possible authors (Jews, Christians, God-fearers, Samaritans, etc.). It analyzes a substantial corpus of pseudepigrapha, distinguishing those that are probably Jewish from those of more doubtful origins.

Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism, 108 This book deals with the Jewish High Priesthood between 301-152 BCE. It is of a historical-biblical-theological nature. Historical, inasmuch as it refers to a chronological period and to the historiographic sources; biblical and theological because it questions a Biblical institution, its meaning and its religious function. The high priesthoods history is analysed on the basis of few and conicting documents, starting from the question of power and the autonomy of the high priests under the rule of the Ptolemies and the Seleucids. However, the historical reconstruction is strongly determined by the political ideology and theological vision of the available sources on this subject.

Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism, 109 The book deals with the eld of decanonization of ancient traditions by the technique of deconstructing their original context; in particular: the process of canonization of the Greek Torah in JewishHellenistic and Christian tradition and its decanonization in Rabbinic literature; the use and abuse of the translation(s) of Aquila in Patristic and Rabbinic literature and the substitution of Aquila by Onkelos in Babylonian academies; the decanonization of the book of Ben Sira in Rabbinic literature. On the basis of his analysis, the author concludes that, if a canon is the ability of a text to produce and authorize commentary deconstructing its original context by generalization, de-canonization is the inverse way of contextualizing a canonical text by reconstructing the supposed original context.

The contributions in this volume, which were presented at an international colloquium entitled Josephus: Interpretation and History held in Dublin in 2004, are united, not by a single view of Josephus, but by the question of historical method, both ancient and modern. These essays take up aspects of a problem basic to all researchers who would use Josephus for historical purposes, namely: What is the relationship between narratives and history? Organized thematically, the volume reects a critical engagement with the texts of Josephus, other literary texts, case studies of particular events, and material remains.

Septuagint Commentary Series This commentary examines 4 Maccabees as a contribution to the ongoing reformulation of Jewish identity and practice in the Greek-speaking Diaspora. It analyzes the Jewish authors interaction with, and facility in, Greek rhetorical conventions, ethical philosophy, and literary culture, giving attention also to his use and interpretation of texts and traditions from the Jewish Scriptures and other Hellenistic Jewish writings. The commentary exhibits the authors skillful weaving together of all these resources to create a text that interprets the Torah-observant life as the fullest embodiment of the best Greek ethical ideals. A distinctive feature is the examination of how the experience of reading 4 Maccabees in Codex Sinaiticus diers from the experience of reading the eclectic text.
3 Maccabees

3 Maccabees is among the most neglected books of the Old Testament Apocrypha. This new commentary is one of very few written in the last century, and it is the only full-scale commentary in English. The volume includes a fresh translation of the Greek text of Alexandrinus, an introduction, a section by section commentary replete with cross-references to ancient literature and citations of modern scholarship, a bibliography, and indices. A novel contribution of the commentary is an interpretation of 3 Maccabees as, in part, a narrative satire on the cult of Dionysus.

It has long been noted that the Thanksgiving Hymns (Hodayot) from Qumran make extensive use of biblical language. A premise of this study of their use of scripture is that these compositions can best be understood by reading them as poetry. Using insights from the elds of comparative literature and biblical studies it establishes a method for analysis of the poems and for identication and analysis of scriptural allusions. Five poems have been chosen for detailed study. The question is asked, how would a reader familiar with the scriptural traditions of the period interpret these poems and why? The rst chapter gives a useful overview of the scholarship to date and indicates the new avenues explored by this study.

Hosea 2
Metaphor and Rhetoric in Historical Perspective
Brad E. Kelle
The complex and, at times, violent metaphorical discourse of Hosea 2 has elicited a variety of interpretive approaches. This study explores the text from the perspective of rhetorical criticism. The classical conception of rhetoric as the art of persuasion and the function of metaphor within persuasive discourses and social settings correlate with the oracular characteristics of Hosea 2 and illuminate its use of specic metaphors. A reading of Hosea 2 from this perspective proposes that the prophets of Israel may have functioned in a manner similar to the orators of ancient Greece, who delivered extended rhetorical discourses designed to discern meaning in contemporary events and to persuade audiences. This study oers a distinctively political reading of Hosea 2 that explores the text as a metaphorical and theological commentary on the political and religious dynamics in Israel at the close of the SyroEphraimitic War (731730 BCE).

SBL - Academia Biblica, 21 Women in the Damascus Document oers a fresh look at the nature of the community reected in the Damascus Document, one of the core documents of the Dead Sea Scrolls. By presenting a close and comprehensive study of the references to women and in-depth analyses of biblically based laws in the document, this work attempts to reconstruct the role of women and attitudes toward women within the community. Highlighting the complex nature of the evidence, the author draws attention to a number of rules that reect a favorable attitude toward women, but also to instances of a patriarchal stance, especially regarding sexuality. Carefully considering all the evidence, the author argues, in contrast to the opinions of many scholars, that women were full members in the community.

This volume examines twelve ancient and medieval manuscripts, ten from the caves at Qumran and the two so called Damascus Documents from the Cairo Geniza, presenting a new organization and understanding of these texts. The twelve manuscripts are in a composite form under the title Midrash haTorah haAcharon (MTA), the Midrash of the Eschatological Torah, a title which opens a new window into the understanding of the Jewish literary tradition during the period of the Second Temple, prior to the development of the Talmud and Christianity. Following the composite Hebrew text are a full translation, notes and commentary elucidating the MTA in light of the new evidence provided by the these texts and retranslation.

Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism, 102 This book suggests a new approach to the social history of Jewish religious movements in the Second Temple and early Rabbinic periods. It argues that most of these movements and their traditions emerged within the context of complex interaction between traditional families and disciple circles. The rst part of the book examines the development of Jewish religious movements during the Second Temple period. It culminates with the discussion of the Dead Sea Sect, which is analyzed as the rst unambiguous example of a movement shifting from a social structure based on families to a social structure based on disciple circles. The second part of the book discusses the history of pharisaic and early rabbinic movements from a similar perspective. Topics covered in the book will be of interest to scholars of Judaism and Early Christianity.

Nazirites in Late Second Temple Judaism

A Survey of Ancient Jewish Writings, the New Testament, Archaeological Evidence, and Other Writings from Late Antiquity
Stuart Chepey
Nazirites appear in a number of sources relevant to Judaism of the late Second Temple period. This book surveys the pertinent evidence and assesses what it reveals regarding the role of the Nazirite within Judaism of the late Second Temple and early Christian era. The survey is arranged according to three primary sections: Direct Evidence for Nazirites; Possible and Tangential Evidence for Nazirites; and a nal section, Making Sense of the Evidence. It concludes by arguing that the role of the Nazirite portrayed in sources was that of a religious devotee, and concomitant with biblical law, Nazirite devotion typically involved exibility, personal freedom of expression, and adaptation to outside cultural norms. Those interested in the Nazirite vow as portrayed in the New Testament and other relevant sources will nd this study useful, as will those interested in Bible translation and interpretation in late Second Temple and early rabbinic literature.

Writing the Wayward Wife

Rabbinic Interpretations of Sotah
Lisa Grushcow
Writing the Wayward Wife is a study of rabbinic interpretations of sotah, the law concerning the woman suspected of adultery (Numbers 5:11-31). The focus of the book is on interpretations of sotah in tannaitic and amoraic texts: the Mishnah, Tosefta, Midrash Halakhah, Midrash Aggadah, and the Palestinian and Babylonian Talmuds. The body of the work is in-depth analysis of the legal and ritual proceedings. Jewish Greek interpretations (Josephus, Philo, and LXX) also are addressed, along with the Protevangelium of James, and fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls and Cairo Geniza. Finally, the disappearance of the ritual is discussed, with implications for the development of rabbinic authority. In previous secondary literature, the law of sotah has been understood as either proto-feminist or misogynist. This book argues that neither of these are appropriate paradigms. Rather, this book identies the emergence of two major interpretive themes: the emphasis on legal procedures, and the condemnation of adultery.
Lisa Grushcow earned her M.Phil. and D.Phil. at Oxford University, where she studied as a Rhodes Scholar. She received rabbinic ordination from the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, and currently serves as Associate Rabbi of Congregation Rodeph Sholom in New York City.

The work provides a new perspective of the history of Jewish philosophy in the Middle Ages. Relying on many as yet unpublished manuscripts, which enable it to oer new insights relating to such thinkers as Judah Halevi, Maimonides, and Gersonides, it also presents a new and original perception of the dynamics of Jewish thought in general.

Studia Post Biblica, The Jews in Sicily, 48 This volume in the series Documentary History of the Jews in Italy illustrates the history of the Jews in Sicily from 1478 to 1489. It is the sequel to the rst six volumes and covers the events during the rst years of the rule of King Ferdinand II. These include the prelude to the expulsion, which witnessed a further deterioration in the position of the Jews on the island. At the same time, the Jewish community on the island reached the points of its greatest expansion in population as well as economic prosperity. Some 900 documents--many of them published here for the rst time--record the fortunes of the Jews and their relationship with the authorities and their Christian neighbours. Much new information has come to light, and many facets of Jewish life in Sicily have been uncovered. The abundance of historical records in the archives of the Crown and of local authorities again compares favourably with the relative scarcity of surviving documentation in earlier centuries. Therefore, many documents had to be reported in summary form. The volume is provided with additional bibliography and indexes, while the introduction will appear at the end of the series on the history of the Jews of the island.

Paroles dApollon
Pratiques et traditions oraculaires dans lAntiquit tardive (IIe - VIe sicles)
Aude Busine
This book deals with the making and the reuses of the divine words which were ascribed to Apollo from the 2nd to the 6th centuries AD and which have now become available in both epigraphical and literary sources. The larger part has been issued by the sanctuaries of Claros and Didyma. This comprehensive and historical approach analyses the oracles of Apollo according to the various contexts ancient authors used to resort to the sacred words. The rst part of the book examines, in the context of the Graeco-Roman citystates, the oracular texts in relation to the sanctuaries where they had originally been produced. The second part explores the dierent ways in which the Apollinian oracles were reappropriated by pagan and Christian authors for philosophical, polemical and apologetic purposes. This study of the sacred texts reveals in an original manner the cultural, political, and religious life of pagans and Christians in the Roman Empire.

Studies in Ancient Divination
Edited by Sarah Iles Johnston and Peter T. Struck
This book thoroughly revisits divination as a central phenomenon in the lives of ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. It collects studies from many periods in Graeco-Roman history, from the Archaic period to the late Roman, and touches on many dierent areas of this rich topic, including treatments of dice oracles, sortition in both pagan and Christian contexts, the overlap between divination and other interpretive practices in antiquity, the fortunes of independent diviners, the activity of Delphi in ordering relations with the dead, the role of Egyptian cult centers in divinatory practices, and the surreptitious survival of recipes for divination by corpses. It also reects a ranges of methodologies, drawn from anthropology, history of religions, intellectual history, literary studies, and archaeology, epigraphy, and paleography. It will be of particular interest to scholars and students of ancient Mediterranean religions.

Biblical Interpretation Series, 71 Essays in this volume describe the shift in biblical exegesis within the last several decades from the interpretation of biblical texts as the outcome of historical development, or diachronic methodology, to the exploration of the text as the result of a reading process rather than a historical process, or synchronic methodology. Each essay examines a text from the Old or New Testament through the lens of one of the many modern synchronic methods used in postmodern literary interpretation. The methods discussed include ideology criticism, semantic and poetic analysis, cognitive linguistics, drama theory, narratology, deconstruction, and anthropology and intertextuality. The authors of this work challenge biblical scholars not to just perform exegesis, but to explore the methods and aims underlying their interpretations.

The Reign of God and Rome in Lukes Passion Narrative

An East Asian Global Perspective
Yong-Sung Ahn
March 2006 ISBN 90 04 15013 7 Hardback (x, 246 pp.) List price EUR 99.- / US$ 134. Biblical Interpretation Series, 80 Through a cultural analysis of hegemonic (post)colonial relations, which characterize both the narrative world of Luke and the authors own reading context Korea this study examines how Lukes Passion Narrative (19:45-23:56) constructs the space-time of the Reign of God both in contest to and in compliance with that of the Roman Empire. The author argues that Lukes colonial relations profoundly complicate the Gospels theological perspectives. By contesting the established but anachronistic dichotomies of politics vs. religion, this world vs. the other, and by addressing scholarly neglect of the colonial collaboration between the Jerusalem leadership and Rome, this project seeks a holistic way of reading Luke. Ahns book may be conceived as the rst phase of a larger project on the postcolonial interpretation of Luke-Acts in a selfconscious East Asian perspective. Seminary students and scholars, both biblical and East Asian, will nd this book helpful.

Johannine Sectarianism in Perspective

A Sociological, Historical, and Comparative Analysis of Temple and Social Relationships in the Gospel of John, Philo and Qumran
Kre Sigvald Fuglseth
The central aim of the investigation is to evaluate the claim that the Gospel of John was a product of a sectarian milieu. Fuglseth is using methods primarily derived from sociology and the study of new religious movements today. He discusses in particular the cult model as an alternative to sect, and compares the Johannine texts with texts from two contemporary milieus: Philo and the Dead Sea Scrolls. The thesis is embedded in a comprehensive survey of research and discussions of methods and of the existence of a Johannine community. There are still serious debates going on about the existence and nature of the Johannine group, its Jewish roots and settings, the attitude to the Jews and the synagogue, and the two levels of meanings in the Johannine text according to Martyn and Brown. In this situation Fuglseths investigation is of great current interest and gives new answers to central questions in the Johannine research.

The Mission of the Church

in Pauls Letter to the Philippians in the Context of Ancient Judaism
James P. Ware
Paul seemingly nowhere in his letters commands his congregations to preach the gospel. Therefore many scholars have concluded that Pauls thinking had little or no place for a mission of the church. This study undertakes a fresh investigation of the question by devoting close attention to a text hitherto overlooked in discussion of early Christian mission, Pauls letter to the Philippians. The Jewish context of Pauls thought in Philippians is the key to unlocking his understanding of church and mission in the letter. The study accordingly begins in Part One with an investigation of conversion of gentiles in ancient Judaism. Part Two, drawing upon this Jewish context, focuses on close exegesis of Philippians, revealing the crucial place of the mission of the church in Pauls thought. The questions addressed by this study go to the heart of our understanding of Paul and of mission in earliest Christianity.
James P. Ware received his Ph.D. in New

Novum Testamentum, Supplements, 121 Salvation in the New Testament oers an analysis of the soteriological perspectives and language of the dierent books of the New Testament. Special attention is given to the imagery used in expressing soteriological ideas. Salvation deals with becoming part of the people of God. In Salvation in the New Testament special attention is given to the nature and power of the salvic language used in the New Testament to express the dynamics of salvation. Individual articles on the dierent books of the New Testament highlight the diverse perspectives oered in these documents. The emphasis especially falls on the dierent images and metaphors which were used to express the event and moment of salvation, rather than on the results (ethics or behaviour) of salvation. An overview of the dierent perspectives on soteriology in the New Testament oers the opportunity to compare similarities and dierences in concepts and expressions. It also illustrates the dynamic interaction between historical situations and salvic language and expression.

Marks of an Apostle
Deconstruction, Philippians, and Problematizing Pauline Theology
James A. Smith
Recognizing the inadequacies of monocritical approaches to Paul and his theology, Smith brings together important disciplines to cast Paul and the construction of Pauline theology in a new light. Through the lens of the paradoxical statement in Phil 1:18 (only that in every way, whether by pretext or by truth, Christ is preached and in this I rejoice), the book understands Pauls texts as ancient writings that adhere to and are conned by a specic set of social codes. The author locates these texts within the context of the writing practices of ancient moral philosophers, who on the one hand eschewed rhetorical convention and on the other were bound by it. Contemporary critical theory is used to investigate and critique previous approaches to Paul and to present viable alternatives. In particular, the book advocates that Paul is far more earthy than Pauline theology typically allows him to be and that his rhetoric (typically mistaken for theology) is a lateral, logocentric expression of his beliefs, rather than a vertical, metaphysical construction. Multidisciplinary and innovative, this volume will interest readers on either side of the debate over the new perspective on Paul. Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org).

The Gospel of the Savior

An Analysis of P.Oxy 840 and its Place in the Gospel Traditions of Early Christianity
Michael J. Kruger
This volume is the rst complete analysis of the apocryphal gospel fragment P.Oxy. 840 since its initial discovery nearly a century ago. The fragment recounts a dispute over ritual purity between Jesus and a Pharisaic chief priest in the temple. After an examination of prior research, this work explores the various palaeographical and historical questions raised by this apocryphal story and also oers a new Greek edition and English translation. In particular, P.Oxy. 840s controversial descriptions of ritual purity practices in Herods temple are evaluated in light of what is known of rst-century Judaism. After comparing the text with similar passages in the canonical gospels, the origins of this non-canonical story are traced to second-century Jewish-Christian groups that shared its theological and polemical thrust.

Poetics of the Gnostic Universe

Narrative and Cosmology in the Apocryphon of John
Zlatko Plee
May 2006 ISBN 90 04 11674 5 Hardback (324 pp.) List price EUR 99.- / US$ 129. Nag Hammadi and Manichaean Studies, 52 This volume is both an essay in Gnostic poetics and a study in the history of early Christian appropriation of ancient philosophy. The object of study is the cosmological model of the Apocryphon of John, a rst-hand and fully narrated version of the Gnostic myth. The author examines its target text against a complex background of religious and philosophical systems, literary theories, and rhetorical techniques of the period, and argues that the world model of the Apocryphon of John is inseparable from the epistemological, theological, and aesthetic debates within contemporary Platonism. Poetics of the Gnostic Universe also discusses the composition and narrative logic of the Apocryphon of John, explores its revisionist attitude towards various literary models (Platos Timaeus, Wisdom literature, Genesis), and analyzes its peculiar discursive strategy of conjoining seemingly disconnected symbolic codes while describing the derivation of a multi-layered universe from a single transcendent source.

Gnostic Revisions of Genesis Stories and Early Jesus Traditions

Gerard P. Luttikhuizen
This book argues that the intellectuals behind early Gnostic revisions of Genesis stories were second-century Christians with an ideological background in GreekHellenistic philosophy, who adopted and reinterpreted biblical narrative materials with a view to exposing the inferiority of the creator-God of Genesis and the ignorance of those Christians who continued to worship this God. It also discusses controversies between Gnostic and early orthodox Christians about the person and the mission of Jesus Christ. The rst part examines the possible polemical function, the philosophical thought structure, and the narrative scheme of the Genesis rewritings, and continues with studies of individual episodes of the Gnostic myth, from the creation of Adam up to the story of Noah and the Flood. The second part focuses on Gnostic reinterpretations of the teaching and the passion of Jesus. The book includes essays about Gnostic theology, ancient and modern readings of Gnostic texts, and an appendix dealing with the ancient baptist community in which Mani was reared.

Thomasine Traditions in Antiquity

The Social and Cultural World of the Gospel of Thomas
Edited by Jon Ma. Asgeirsson, April D. DeConick and Risto Uro
This volume is a selection of papers presented to the Society of Biblical Literature Thomasine Traditions Group from 1996 to 2001. The papers focus on the early Christian writings attributed to the apostle Thomas with particular emphasis on the Gospel of Thomas. The collection oers an extensive discussion of the social and cultural world of the gospel, particularly examining its relationship to other contemporary Christian writings and Graeco-Roman literature. The essays give a helpful survey of recent developments and discussions in the eld of Thomasine studies. Among many topics dealt with in the volume are the issue of Thomas community, the gospels enigmatic exhortation to become passers-by, and Thomas relation to the Hebrew epic, Platonic philosophic traditions, Valentinus, as well as to early gospel harmonies. The volume also proposes a hypothesis of the earliest layer of the Thomasine traditions and presents analyses of Thomas argumentative rhetology and portrait of Jesus. One essay focuses on the role of the apostle Thomas in the Acts of Thomas. Thomasine Traditions in Antiquity will be a valuable tool for all those interested in Nag Hammadi Studies, Gnosticism, Early Christianity and the history of religion.

The Unity of Mystical Traditions

The Transformation of Consciousness in Tibetan and German Mysticism
Randall Studstill
June 2005 ISBN 90 04 14319 X Hardback (xii, 308 pp.) List price EUR 99.- / US$ 129. Numen Book Series, 107 The book supports an ecumenical theory of mysticism through a comparative analysis of Tibetan Dzogchen and German mysticism. Using a systems model of consciousness as an interpretive framework, it shows how the distinct doctrines and practices of these two traditions function in parallal, equally transformative ways. This monograph gives one an excellent overview of the philosophical debate and a good sense (and feeling) that a pluralist theory of mysticism is at this point the most convincing model available.
Hans van der Laan OSB (1904-1991) developed the most comprehensive theory of architecture ever undertaken in history (Architectonic Space, 1983), which is part of a wide-ranging theory of the relationships between nature, culture and religious ritual (The Play of Forms).

Rituals around Sacred Trees in India

September 2005 ISBN 90 04 14601 6 Hardback (x, 510 pp.) List price EUR 159.- / US$ 207. Numen Book Series, 108 This study is focused on the interaction of material and symbolic values in the domain of sacred trees in India. By presenting samples from 3,000 years of Indian ritual practice, it is shown that in many sacred geographies trees continue to connect the present with the past, the material with the symbolic, and the contemporary ecological with the traditionally sacred. Although in India religion may have become very much a temple cult, its embeddedness in the natural world enhances todays green interpretation of religious traditions. That in environmental matters such religious inspiration may be both successful and highly ambivalent at the same time is the thought-provoking position taken in the nal chapters.

Abraham Kuypers Commentatio (1860): The Young Kuyper about Calvin, a Lasco, and the Church
I: Introduction, Annotations, Bibliography, and Indices / II: Commentatio
Jasper Vree and Johan Zwaan
In the Commentatio the 22-year-old Kuyper not only describes Calvins and a Lascos concepts of the Church, but also discusses them in the light of the Gospel. The Commentatio marks the beginning of modern a Lasco studies. The work also oers the initial impetus for the idea with which Kuyper would later exert great inuence on Dutch nation and society: the Church as a free, democratic society of Christians, which manifests itself as a living organism in all spheres of life. The text, which has never been published before, is accompanied by historical and philological introductions, annotations, and comprehensive registers, and throws surprising new light on the origins of Kuypers ideas. Moreover, this source edition is important for the study of nineteenth-century Reformation research.

Virtue Reformed
Rereading Jonathan Edwardss Ethics
Stephen A. Wilson
Much of the previous fty years of scholarship on Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) has circumscribed his ethical thought either within narrow interpretations of Calvinist theology or the philosophy of the moral sense. The mutually exclusive nature of each perspective has distorted the importance Edwards granted human abilities in the salvation process and the demanding moral standards he thought were uniquely dening of Christians. Building on new interest in Protestant scholasticism, Puritan precisionism, and virtue ethics, Virtue Reformed recalibrates the scholarly stalemate with a comprehensive rereading of both major published treatises and lesser-known discourses. The result is a fresh portrait of a fascinating eighteenthcentury gures struggle to be both a forwarder of the Reformation and a participant in the Enlightenment.

Brills Studies in Intellectual History, 134 Socinianism has often been studied in national contexts and apart from other currents like Arminianism. This volume is especially interested in the in-betweens: the relationship of Antitrinitarianism to liberal currents in reformed Protestantism, namely Dutch Remonstrants, English Latitudinarians and some French Huguenots. This in-between also has a local aspect: the volume studies the transformations that Anti-trinitarianism experienced in the complicated transition from its origins in Italy and its refuge in Poland, Moravia and Transsylvania to Prussia, to the Netherlands and later to England. What eects did this transfer have on the dynamics of pluralization in the progressive Netherlands? How did the Socinians overcome social adaptation from a group of exiles to a diuse movement of modernization? How did they manage to connect within the new milieu of Arminians, Cartesians, Spinozists and Lockeans?

Studies in Medieval and Reformation Traditions: History, Culture, Religion, Ideas, 108 This volume deals with the intellectual world of progressive Benedictine and Cistercian monks who vicariously represent humanists in cloisters (Klosterhumanismus, Bibelhumanismus) in German speaking lands: Conradus Leontorius (1460-1511), Maulbronn, Benedictus Chelidonius (c.1460-1521), Nuremberg and Vienna, Bolfgangus Marius (1469-1544), Aldersbach in Bavaria, Henricus Urbanus (c. 1470-c.1539), Georgenthal in the region of Gotha and Erfurt, Vitus Bild Acropolitanus (14811529), Augsburg, and Nikolaus Ellenbog (1481-1543), Ottobeuren in Swabia. For the rst time in historical-theological research, new insights are provided into the world of the social group called Monastic Humanists who emerged next to the better known Civic Humanists within the diverse, international phenomenon of Renaissance humanism.

Protestant Nations Redefined

Changing Perceptions of National Identity in the Rhetoric of the English, Dutch and Swedish Public Churches, 1685-1772
Pasi Ihalainen
This volume reconstructs the various meanings attached to the concepts of nation and fatherland in eighteenthcentury English, Dutch and Swedish political preaching. After discussing sermons as a medium of national ideology, it analyses the decline of the Israelite prototype of nation, the changing relationship between religious and national communities, international Protestantism, the weakening stereotype of popery, redenitions of the Protestant monarchy, and the diversication of national vocabulary. It also compares the rise of non-theological languages of classical patriotism, freedom, economy and nature in three political cultures, revealing how the secular worship of nation arose even within the public presentation of religion. As postnationalist comparative history, this study will be welcomed by readers with varied national and scholarly backgrounds interested in the Enlightenment and nationalism.

Secular Authority and the Church in the Thought of Luther and Melanchthon, 1518-1559

Studies in Medieval and Reformation Traditions: History, Culture, Religion, Ideas, 111 This volume is the rst attempt to bring together in a comparative study all the evidence concerning the development of the ideas of Luther and Melanchthon on the cura religionis of secular magistrates. Besides yielding a more complete historical narrative than has hitherto been available, this approach has made it possible to show (among other things) that Luthers ideas on the subject developed and changed over time in tandem with developments and changes in Melanchthons ideas and in response to the same historical pressures. Where past studies have tended to emphasize the dierences in their thinking, this one demonstrates their essential agreement and considers their common worries about the dangers inherent in magisterial responsibility for the church.

Comparing Avicennas and Thomas Aquinas positions regarding human knowledge, this volumes talks about God and the nature of the creative action and the beginning of the universe. The overall argument of the book is that their conception of theological language plays an important role in shaping their positions concerning the creation of the universe. In the rst part, their conception of the theological language and divine formal
features are explored and how their positions regarding theological language dier from each other is discussed. The second part includes a comparison of their conceptions of the nature of the divine creative actionwhich provides a good example showing how their conceptions of theological language aect the way they talk about creationand their arguments concerning the beginning of the universe.

This volume oers a new approach in the problems of Islamic hermeneutics and the understanding of Quranic exegesis, Muslim theology and the appropriation of Peripatetical logic in the Arabic world.

Early Islam between Myth and History

Al-asan al-Bar (d. 110H/728CE) and the Formation of His Legacy in Classical Islamic Scholarship
Suleiman Ali Mourad
a myth by several groups in medieval Islam. Al-asan lived in the city of Basra, southern Iraq, and was famed for his piety, which attracted to him a large number of disciples who went on to play important roles in the formation of several religious trends. The literary corpus (sayings, stories and letters) ascribed to him has been used as a window into early Islamic religious and intellectual thought. But as this study shows, this corpus was largely forged in dierent periods, in some cases even a thousand years after al-asans death. It tells us more about the beliefs of those who forged the sayings, stories and letters rather than about al-asans thought and time.

Islam and Colonialism

Intellectual Responses of Muslims of Northern Nigeria to British Colonial Rule
Muhammad S. Umar
This volume analyzes discourses on British colonialism constructed by Muslims of northern Nigeria c. 1903-1945. It departs from the conventional wisdom on British colonial policy of indirect rule and its benign consequences. Conceptualizing colonialism not simply as a unilateral imposition but as a dynamic encounter between colonizer and colonized, the book shifts the focus away from the overwhelming impact of the former and devastating consequences on the later, thereby revealing indeterminate outcomes and unintended consequences of both the actions of the colonizer and the reactions of the colonized. The volume analyzes legal treatises, poems, and novels, connecting authors to their intellectual backgrounds, relations to colonial regime and intended audiences, leading to better understanding of the ideas that informed Muslims intellectual and practical responses to colonialism.

Mixed Blessings: Laws, Religions and Womens Rights in the Asia-Pacific Region
Edited by Amanda Whiting and Carolyn Evans
May 2006 ISBN 90 04 15141 9 Hardback (350 pp.) List price EUR 115.- / US$ 155. Studies in Religion, Secular Beliefs and Human Rights, 1 The essays in this volume explore some of the diverse and contradictory ways that the lives of women in the AsiaPacic region are shaped by two powerful regimes - religion and law - and by the interactions between them. They show that for women, laws - customary, colonial, post-independence and international - and religions - indigenous or introduced, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Confucianism - have been a mixed blessing. These diverse legal systems and religious doctrines and institutions have variously denied women authority and the capacity to participate fully in the public organization of social, political and religious life; they have furthermore constructed gender and familial relations in ways that subordinate women. Yet they have also oered promises of womens employment, and provided rules and procedures, norms, values, and interpretations of sacred traditions to deliver those empancipatory promises. Each chapter is devoted to a single state; rst, the history and current framework of the national legal system is introduced; then the place of religion in the state is explained; and nally, by means of precise and detailed case studies or examples, each author explores how these sometimes competing, sometimes colluding regimes constructed women and how women interpreted this positioning and sought to resituate themselves.

Studies in Religion, Secular Beliefs and Human Rights This book is an essential tool for those interested in the vital relationship between international human rights law and domestic policy. It explores this subject in the context of public funding for religious education in Canada, an area of controversy for well over a hundred years. This work provides in one volume a unique set of source documents concerning the legal and political history of religious education in a multicultural environment and especially in Ontario, Canadas largest province. It makes available for the rst time a complete set of documents concerning the international litigation which has occurred between the Canadian government and its citizens, who have been seriously aected by entrenched religious discrimination. An introductory essay provides an overview of how religious discrimination forms the backbone of Ontarios education system. Having failed to remedy such discrimination in Canadian courts, the UN Human Rights Committee provided a mechanism to address this breach of Canadas international legal obligations. The volume is an expose of the process and the consequences of international human rights litigation before the UN Committee, and will be of special interest to others seeking to take cases of human rights violations forward to the international level. Canadian policy makers and analyst will consider this collection an invaluable resource for future consideration of the public funding of religious education in Canada, still unresolved after 135 years.

Abu-I-Husayn al-Basris Mutazili Theology among the Karaites in the Fatimid Age
September 2006 ISBN 90 04 15177 X Hardback (150 pp.) List price EUR 109.- / US$ 156. Jerusalem Studies in Religion and Culture, 5 The Mutazila was a rationalist school of Islamic theology and one of the important streams of Islamic thought. Its beginnings were in the eighth century and its classic period of development was from the latter part of the ninth century until the middle of the eleventh. During these four centuries, the theological movement of the Mutazila played a major role in the Islamic intellectual scene. Over time it fell out of favor in Sunni Islam and had largely disappeared by the fourteenth century. It is mainly due to the reception of Mutazili thought by the Imamis and the Zaydis within Shiism, as well as by Rabbanite and particularly Karaite Jews, that we are relatively well informed today about Mutazili doctrines and even have access to a signicant quantity of authentic textual materials. The book contains editions, translations, and an analytical introduction of Karaite Mutazili texts of the late Fatimid period that were hitherto unknown and that shed fresh light in the reception of Mutazili thought among the Karaites.

Studies of Religion in Africa, 29 This volume explores the way of life of the Boni community, a hunter-gatherer people that straddle the Kenya/Somali border in East Africa. The Boni converted to Islam some fty years ago and the reasons for this, both internal and external to the community, are identied. The book argues that former indigenous religious activity, far from having died out, is now being renegotiated so as to reect an evolving Boni self-identity in a multiethnic setting as well as allowing the fermentation of resistance in the face of attempts at cultural hegemony advanced by outside forces. Employing a phenomenological approach and a methodology based on participant observation, this volume identies three contrasting spheres of religious activity - the bush, the village centre, and individual homesteads.

Protestant authors had grasped the importance of winning over the souls and minds of the French people from the outset and the production of Genevan presses was therefore predominantly in French. If the Catholic Church wished to preserve its position in France, it was vital to respond to the gauntlet thrown down by the Calvinist leaders. It is this response, the writings of the French Catholic authors against Calvin and his teachings, that are presented here. It includes both works attacking the precepts of Calvinism and those defending the Catholic doctrine against the criticism and condemnation of Calvinist authors. The selection concentrates on issues that divided the church. The titles have been selected from the University of St Andrews French Vernacular Book Project.

Italy is not ordinarily regarded as a country deeply aected by the sixteenthcentury Reformation. In older studies, especially German ones, we nd several indications that the movement reached only the intellectuals and aristocrats in the cities. More detailed examination reveals, however, that it inuenced the broadest possible range among the countrys population. Also, the theological orientation of the Italian reformation was far more diverse than is generally assumed. There were Spiritualists, Reformists, Lutherans, Baptists, and heretics. One of the principles underlying this collection is to oer a synopsis of the diversity in which the Italian reformation manifestated itself. Issued in two parts Expected release Part I: Summer 2006 Part 1 + part 2: approx. 266 titles Including MARC21 bibliographic records Price available on request at info@idc.nl Advisors: Richard A. Muller and Charles D. Gunnoe This collection has been gathered for the purpose of illuminating the intellectual and religious developments during the reigns of Ottheinrich (1556-1559) and Frederick III (1559-1576). Its primary goal is to present the complete works of the major Heidelberg gures (Bouquin, Erastus, Olevianus, Ursinus, Zanchi) as well as a sampling of the works of many secondary gures. Secondarily, it illustrates the theological development of the Palatinate including the origins and reception of the Heidelberg Catechism. Here it ventures outside the strict bounds of Reformed Protestantism to include attacks on the Palatine confession by Lutheran scholars. 200 titles on 776 microches Issued in two parts Including MARC21 bibliographic records List price part 1: EUR 1,953 / US$ 2,709 List price part 2: EUR 5,240 / US$ 7,074

Islamic Studies
Muslims in Russia, 1881-1918

Russian and Emigr Periodicals and Newspapers Advisor: Salavat Ishakov Muslim peoples played an important role in the creation of the multinational Russian state. Russian power had confronted a huge Muslim world, and the Muslim question became one of the major factors in not only the internal, but also the external policy of Russias tsars. The Russian and migr periodicals made an essential contribution to the process of overcoming the old religious and national estrangement of the Muslim population. The value of this heritage is especially clear nowadays, when the historical and spiritual past of Muslims in Russia is being actively reconsidered. This collection presents works written by and about Muslims. 11 periodicals on 30 microches and 49 reels Also available through IDCs Digital Library at www.idc-digilib.nl Including MARC21 bibliographic records List price microform collection EUR 6,573 / US$ 8,355

No journal in Jewish studies focuses upon the study of religion, let alone upon the single most important Judaism of all time.

Religion, culture and environment are all hotly contested terms in the world today. Talal Asad (1993:29) argues of religion that there cannot be a universal denition of religion not only because its constituent elements and relationships are culturally specic, but because that denition itself is the historical product of discursive processes. The same could be said of both culture and environment as well.
Worldviews: Environment, Culture, Religion, a journal published by Brill Academic Publishers, is located within this contested territory. It aims to publish work that explores dierent conjunctions, constructions and perceptions of environment, culture and religion. It aims to change the way we look at our world. The journal adopts a wide, multi- and interdisciplinary scope. Papers may discuss, inter alia, major world religious traditions (such as Islam, Buddhism or Christianity); the traditions of indigenous peoples; new religious movements; philosophical belief systems (such as pantheism), nature spiri-
