Biblical Scholarship:
Old Characters, Fresh
Readings
By Kristin Swenson
In The Bible Tells Me So... Why Defending Scripture Has Made Us Unable to Read
It (HarperOne, Sept.), Peter Enns
addresses the problems of scripture from
the position of an evangelical Christian
who observes with candor and fresh
humor that too often faithful readers
approach the Bible with expectations it
is not set up to meet. Michael Maudlin,
senior v-p and executive editor at HarperOne, says that Enns deals with all the
problems [that come] with an overly literal understanding of the Bible without
sounding like he is being merely critical
or liberal.... Instead, [Enns] takes a C.S.
Lewislike stance of [asking], what
would any reasonable, faithful Christian
do when confronted with the facts?
THE BIBLES BEGINNINGS
The Bibles intriguing challenges and
promise for readers today are not unique
to our modern context, but reflect its
deepest past. A number of new books
discuss the Bibles origins during problematic times. Jennifer Banks, executive
editor at Yale University Press, calls Holy
Resilience: The Bibles Traumatic Origins by
David M. Carr (Nov.) a fascinating and
provocative reinterpretation of the
Bibles origins that tells of how the Jewish people and Christian community had
to adapt to survive multiple catastrophes. Paul N. Andersons From Crisis to
Christ: A Contextual Introduction to the
New Testament (Abingdon, Aug.) also
explores various historical crises that
provide the interpretive backdrop and
context for the faith of Israel and the
communities that produced the New
Testament texts, says David Teel, senior
editor at Abingdon.
In Reading Backwards: Figural Theology
Religion Update
Great drives two new titles: The Many
Faces of Herod the Great by Adam Kolman
Marshak (Eerdmans, Nov.) and The True
Herod by Geza Vermes (Bloomsbury,
May). David, arguably the most developed human character in the Old Testaments sprawling cast, also
receives varying degrees of
attention in two new books.
David Wolpe contributes
David: The Divided Heart
(Sept.) to Yales Jewish Lives
series as a brief introduction.
Joel Baden writes that he
seeks to uncover the historical David by reaching back
through the accumulated
legend [and the] agenda of
the biblical text, into the
ancient world in which
David roamed. Roger Freet,
executive editor at HarperOne, says of Badens The Historical David: The Real Life
and Invented Hero (July) , now
in paperback, that he has
high hopes for course adoptions in the coming years.
Joseph of Arimathea: A Study in Reception
History by William John Lyons (OUP,
May) is one of the books in Oxfords new
Biblical Refigurations series, which associate editor Steve Wiggins explains are
not straightforward biographies. The
series seeks new angles of approach to
traditional characters, some of whom
have received less attention than the
usual suspects. Deborahs Daughters: Gender Politics and Biblical Interpretation by
Joy A. Schroeder (OUP, Mar.) investigates how the biblical Deborahs story
has driven and informed gender debates
throughout history.
Bart D. Ehrmans How Jesus Became
God: The Exaltation of a Jewish Preacher
(HarperOne, Mar.) has been a strong
success, says Freet. HarperOne distributed a pre-publication edition to evangelical scholar responders by mutual
agreement between all of the authors,
Freet reports, so that HarperOnes sister
imprint, Zondervan could publish a
counterargument, How God Became Jesus:

of Baker Academic

agrees: We think a
Jim Kinney
little more about the
tactile appeal of print editions. Our production departments attention to quality
is perhaps more important now than it
was 20 years ago, when readers had only
one choice of medium. He adds, We
start a few more books in hardcover than
we used to, so book lovers will be able to
own a really nice copy.
Religion presses also look more closely
now at prices and discounts. Penn States
Alexander says that with the drop in
library and institutional sales, Weve
had to print more copies to realize cost
savings, discount higher to allow others
to resell, and price lower to encourage
more individual sales. Eerdmanss Pott
says, Were having to be more aware
than we used to be to price in a way thats
savvy. Oxford senior editor Theo Calderara adds, We are more concerned about
list price than about discount. Getting
the price right is much more important
to the ultimate success of a book.
All scholarly religion publishers produce e-books and Web-based reference
products, but not all are convinced that
sales justify production costs. According
to Alexander, Were seeing more costs
for creating new formats and new workflows, but have not noticed a corresponding increase in purchasing for those new
formats. Users just dont seem to want
e-books for research. Newman states it
bluntly: We are just as e-innovative and
e-aggressive as any other publisher, but
we also remain committed to print,
cloth, quality. This is counter to market
forces, but we are seeing real growth in
what the so-called gurus are saying has
already died.

Depending on whom you ask, Muhammad may be either the last prophet or
merely an ambitious man. Now, in The
Lives of Muhammad (Harvard, Sept.;
Reviews, p. 20), Kecia Ali, associate professor of religion at Boston University,
tries to fill in the missing pieces and
shape a complete portrait of the founder
of Islam.
The book has two target audiences, Ali
sayscolleagues who study religion and
Islam, and laypeople, Muslim and otherwise. Muslims and non-Muslims often
view each other as decadent or repressive, but they really are speaking the same
language, says Ali. They just dont know
it, because so many of todays ideas about
Muhammad have been influenced over the
past two centuries by Western thought.
Supporters and critics both assume
they know the story of his life, says Ali,
adding that her purpose isnt to prove
anyone wrong, but to show the diverse
aspects of Muhammads life and how the
story has changed over time.
For early Muslim authors, for example,
Muhammads first marriage to the prosperous widow Khadija served as a key
point on his journey to becoming a
prophet, while non-Muslim authors
cited it as evidence of his calculating
ambition, says Ali, noting that today the
marriage is seen instead, by both Muslim
and non-Muslim authors, as a portrait of
Muhammad as a man and husband.

instructed to reject, among people you
might have been taught to think of as
morally inferior. Imagine no longer
belonging in the company of those who
claim to embody the will of God by their
words and actions. This is the experience
of those who find themselves no longer
able to obey the dictates of their Haredi
(ultra-Orthodox) communities and must
come out, leaving behind everything
and everyone they have known.
In her new book, Becoming Un-Orthodox:
Stories of Ex-Hasidic Jews (Oxford, Nov.),
Lynn Davidman, the Robert M. Beren
Distinguished Professor of Modern
Jewish Studies and professor of sociology
at the University of Kansas, reports a
series of conversations with defectors
from Hasidic and other ultra-Orthodox
communities. What causes the dissonance
between their personal worldview and the
idealized worldview of their community?
What makes them abandon their
obedience to sacred communal rules and
compels them to leave their communities?
In Becoming Un-Orthodox, Davidman
concludes that the things that define us
religiouslywhich can shift and fail
are not just beliefs but habitual practices
that symbolize the values of the community, such as ritual bathing, particular
modes of dress, and rules of comportment. She observes that those who leave
ultra-Orthodoxy go through similar
stages of divesting themselves of such
observances. Those practices no longer
make sense, and they begin to adjust their
behavior to the rules of the wider culture.
Davidmans interest in the topic is
deeply personal: she is herself ex-Orthodox, although she was raised Modern
Orthodox in the 1950s and 60s, in a
denomination that was then more liberal
than any form of Orthodoxy is today.
When her mother died when Davidman
was very young, she began to question
her faith and over time became vocal
about the moral hypocrisy she saw in the
community. Finally, during her undergraduate years at Barnard, Davidman
decided to live in the dormitories, as
many other college students did. She
says, I wanted a life of my own, but to

Terryl Givens
Unlikely
Messenger of
Mormonism
If anyone had told Terryl Givens 30 years
ago that he would one day be a renowned
scholar of Mormon thought, he might
have laughed. But while his articles on
Byron and Romanticism seem like distant memories, Givenss early work in
comparative literature laid the groundwork for a flourishing career as an intellectual historian of Mormonism. His new
book, Wrestling the Angel: The Foundation
of Mormon Thought: Cosmos, God, Humanity
(Oxford, Nov.; Reviews, p. 20), is the culmination of that groundbreaking work.
In his first book, The Viper on the Hearth,
by
R I C H A R D B . H AY S
N.T. WRIGHT
Religion Update
published in 1997, Givens, professor of
religion and literature and James A.
Bostwick Chair of English at the
University of Richmond, plumbed how
depictions of Mormonism in popular fiction shaped cultural understandings of
the faith and its vexed relationship to
American society. That book altered the
trajectory of my career, Givens says, for
I realized I could use the tools of literary
analysis to begin to look at religious
texts, especially the Book of Mormon,
and their impact on culture.
In the years since, Givens has
approached the history of the Mormon
faith not through the lens of theological
analysis but with close readings of the
scriptures of Mormonism, producing such
books as By the Hand of Mormon: The
American Scripture That Launched a New
World Religion (2003) and The Book of
Mormon: A Very Short Introduction (2009).

Philosophical
Persuasion
A philosophy professor meets a Christian
woman at a religious conference. During
their brief conversation, she says she is
worried about her brother, a young man
who is smart, kind, inquisitiveand an
atheist. Would the professor please write
to her brother and try to persuade him of
the existence of God?
So begins the imagined conversation,
known in academic lingo as a supposal,
between Peter Kreeft and the young man
he calls Michael in his new book, Letters
to an Atheist: Wrestling with Faith
(Rowman & Littlefield, Oct.). The young
man is real, as was the encounter between
Kreeft and Michaels sister. Although he
never contacted Michael personally, and
the letters that compose the book never
got posted, emailed, received, or
answered, Kreeft offers them to readers,
who he invites to become Michael, to
read and consider for themselves.
Kreeft is a professor of philosophy at
Boston College, where he has taught
since 1965. He is also the author of more
