Buddhist ThoughtA Complete Introduction to the Indian Tradition

Anthony J. Tribe, University of Montana, USA, Paul Williams, University of Bristol, UK and Alexander Wynne

South Asian ReligionsTradition and Today

Edited by Karen Pechilis and Selva J. Raj, both at Albion College, USA

By examining the realities of religious life, and the ways in which the traditions are practiced on the ground, this book provides an illuminating introduction to Asian religions.

MuslimsTheir Religious Beliefs and Practices

Andrew Rippin

This concise and authoritative guide provides a complete survey of Islamic history and thought from its formative period to the present day. It examines the unique elements which have combined to form Islam, in particular the Qu’ran and the influence of Muhammad, and traces the ways in which these sources have interacted historically to create Muslim theology and law, as well as the alternative visions of Islam found in Shi’ism and Sufism.

Combining core source materials with coverage of current scholarship and of recent events in the Islamic world, Andrew Rippin introduces this hugely diverse and widespread religion in a succinct, challenging and refreshing way. Using a distinctive critical approach which promotes engagement with key issues, from fundamentalism and women’s rights to problems of identity and modernity, it is ideal for students seeking to understand Muslims and their faith.

The improved and expanded third edition now contains brand new sections on twenty-first century developments, from the Taliban to Jihad and Al-Qaeda, and includes updated references throughout.

Reasonable FaithJohn Haldane, St. Andrews University, UK

In this awaited follow up to his book Faithful Reason, the well-known philosopher and Catholic thinker John Haldane brings his unrivalled insight to bear on questions of the existence of God and the nature and destiny of the human soul. His arguments weave elements drawn from philosophy of mind, epistemology and aesthetics, together with recurrent features of human experience to create a

structure that simultaneously frames and supports ideas such as that the cosmos is a creation, human beings transcend their material composition, and that human fulfillment lies beyond death. This volume blends themes from Aquinas with insights drawn from analytical philosophy and further establishes John Haldane as the leading ’analytical thomist’.

Rather than simply reject or accept new media, religious communities negotiate complex relationships with these technologies in light of their history and beliefs.

contemporary community values and priorities; negotiation and innovating technology in light of the community; communal discourses applied to justify use.

Edited by Catherine Keller, Drew University, USA and Laurel Schneider, Chicago Theological Seminary, USA

Inspired by the work of Catherine Keller, author of The Face of the Deep, Polydoxy introduces a new theological approach which is both grounded and groundbreaking. Reacting against reductive or nostalgic theological tendencies, the essays in this book take an exciting and creative approach to doing theology in the twenty-first century. Divided into parts, the
