The Oxford Handbook of KIERKEGAARD

Edited by John Lippitt, University of Hertfordshire, and George Pattison, University of Oxford

The Oxford Handbook of Kierkegaard uniquely combines work on the background and context of Kierkegaard’s writings, exposition of his key ideas, and a survey of his infl uence and heritage. The Handbook brings together some of the most distinguished contemporary contributors to Kierkegaard research together with some of the more gifted younger commentators on Kierkegaard’s work. There is signifi cant input from scholars based in Copenhagen’s Søren Kierkegaard Research Centre, as well as from philosophers and theologians from Britain, Germany, and the United States. Part 1 presents some of the philological, historical, and contextual work that has been produced in recent years, establishing a fi rm basis for the more interpretative essays found in following parts. Part 2 moves from context and background to the exposition of some of the key ideas and issues in Kierkegaard’s writings, and Part 3 looks at the impact of Kierkegaard’s thought and at how it continues to infl uence philosophy, theology, and literature.

The Oxford Handbook of THEOLOGY AND MODERN EUROPEAN THOUGHT

Edited by Nicholas Adams, University of Edinburgh, George Pattison, University of Oxford, and Graham Ward, University of Oxford

‘Modern European thought’ describes a wide range of philosophies, cultural programmes, and political arguments developed in Europe in the period following the French Revolution. Throughout this period, many of the wide range of ‘modernisms’ (and anti-modernisms) had a distinctly religious and even theological character—not least when religion was subjected to the harshest criticism. Yet for all the breadth and complexity of modern European thought and, in particular, its relations to theology, a distinct body of themes and approaches recurred in each generation. Moreover, many of the issues that took intellectual shape in Europe are now global, rather than narrowly European, and, for good or ill, they form part of Europe’s bequest to the world—from colonialism and the economic theories behind globalisation through to democracy and terrorism. This volume attempts to identify and comment on some of the most important of these.

The thirty-one chapters are grouped into six thematic parts, moving from questions of identity and the self, through discussions of the human condition, the age of revolution, the world (both natural and technological), and knowledge methodologies, and concluding with a section looking explicitly at how major theological themes have developed in modern European thought.

The Oxford Handbook of THE BRITISH SERMON 1689–1901

Edited by Keith A. Francis, Maryland University College and Oxford Brookes University, and William Gibson, Oxford Brookes University

The period 1689–1901 was ‘the golden age’ of the sermon in Britain. Sermons out-sold other books until the mid-nineteenth century and were a key part of people’s religious worship. Sermons infl uenced the outcome of elections, they challenged science, and were used as vehicles for popular campaigns such as that for the abolition of slavery. The popularity of sermons should not be underestimated. Preachers attracted huge crowds, the Baptist minister Charles Spurgeon regularly preached to 5,000 people, and the popular demand for sermons was never higher. Sermons were also taken by missionaries and clergy across the British empire. Sermons varied widely in form, and this enabled preaching to be adopted and shaped by every denomination, so that in this period most religious groups could lay claim to a sermon culture.

Drawing on the latest research by leading sermon scholars, this Handbook accesses historical, theological, rhetorical, literary, and linguistic studies to demonstrate the interdisciplinary strength of the fi eld of sermon studies and to show the centrality of sermons to religious life in this period.

The Oxford Handbook of NATURAL THEOLOGY

Edited by Russell Re Manning, University of Aberdeen

Consultant Editors: John Hedley Brooke, University of Oxford, and Fraser Watts, University of Cambridge

The Oxford Handbook of Natural Theology is the fi rst collection to consider the full breadth of natural theology from both historical and contemporary perspectives and to bring together leading scholars to offer accessible high-level accounts of the major themes. The volume embodies and develops the recent revival of interest in natural theology as a topic of serious critical engagement. Frequently misunderstood or polemicized, natural theology is an under-studied yet persistent and pervasive presence throughout the history of thought about ultimate reality—from the classical Greek theology of the philosophers to twenty-fi rst century debates in science and religion.

Of interest to students and scholars from a wide range of disciplines, this authoritative Handbook draws on the very best of contemporary scholarship to present a critical overview of the subject area. Thirty eight new essays trace the transformations of natural theology in different historical and religious contexts, the place of natural theology in different philosophical traditions and diverse scientifi c disciplines, and the various cultural and aesthetic approaches to natural theology to reveal a rich seam of multi-facetedtheological refl ection rooted in human nature and the environments within which we fi nd ourselves.

The Oxford Handbook of RELIGION AND VIOLENCE

Edited by Mark Juergensmeyer, University of California, Santa Barbara, Margo Kitts, Hawai’i Pacifi c University, and Michael Jerryson, Eckerd College

Violence has always played a part in the religious imagination, from symbols and myths to legendary battles, from colossal wars to the theatre of terrorism. The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Violence surveys intersections between religion and violence throughout history and around the world.

The forty original essays in this volume include overviews of major religious traditions, showing how violence is justifi ed within the literary and theological foundations of the tradition, how it is used symbolically and in ritual practice, and how social acts of violence and warfare have been justifi ed by religious ideas.

The Oxford Handbook of GLOBAL RELIGIONS

The Oxford Handbook of MILLENNIALISM

Edited by Catherine Wessinger, Loyola University New Orleans

Seventh-Day Adventists, Melanesian cargo cults, David Koresh’s Branch Davidians, and the Raelian UFO religion would seem to have little in common. What these groups share, however, is a millennial orientation-the audacious human hope for a collective salvation, which may be either heavenly or earthly. The Oxford Handbook of Millennialism offers readers an in-depth look at both the theoretical underpinnings of the study of millennialism and its many manifestations across history and cultures.

The book begins with a section that lays out the four different types of millennialism and then moves on to examine millennialism in a wide variety of places and times, from ancient millennial movements to modern apocalyptic movements. This Handbook will be a valuable resource for scholars of religious studies, sociology, psychology, history, and new religious movements.

The Oxford Handbook of FEMINIST THEOLOGY

Edited by Mary McClintock Fulkerson, Duke University Divinity School, and Sheila Briggs, University of Southern California

This volume highlights the relevance of globalization and the insights of gender studies and religious studies for feminist theology. It focuses on the changing global contexts for the fi eld and its movement towards new models of theology, distinct from the forms of traditional Christian systematic theology and of secular feminism.

The Oxford Handbook of SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY

Edited by John Webster, University of Aberdeen, Kathryn Tanner, University of Chicago Divinity School, and Iain Torrance, Princeton Theological Seminary

A set of original and authoritative accounts by a distinguished international team of authors, of all the major areas of current research in Christian systematic theology.

The Oxford Handbook of THE TRINITY

Edited by Gilles Emery O. P., University of Fribourg, Switzerland, and Matthew Levering, University of Dayton

This Handbook examines the history of Trinitarian theology and reveals the Nicene unity still at work among Christians today despite ecumenical differences and the variety of theological perspectives.

In all these areas, this Handbook offers essays that do justice to the diversity of viewpoints, while also providing, insofar as possible, a coherent ensemble.

The Oxford Handbook of THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS

Edited by Timothy H. Lim, University of Edinburgh, and John J. Collins, Yale University

Thirty international scholars probe the main disputed issues in the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The Oxford Handbook of EARLY CHRISTIAN STUDIES

Edited by Susan Ashbrook Harvey, Brown University, and David G. Hunter, University of Kentucky

‘an invaluable work of reference and full of meat’G.R. Evans, Theology

‘a treasure trove ... [a] hefty and wonderful volume’ Jonathan Wright, Catholic Herald

The Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Studies responds to and celebrates the explosion of research in this inter-disciplinary fi eld over recent decades. It is thematically arranged to encompass history, literature, thought, practices, and material culture. Whilst the burgeoning of scholarly work has made it impossible for any one scholar to maintain expertise in every aspect of the discipline, this Handbook seeks to aid both the new researcher in the fi eld and the scholar entering an unfamiliar sub-specialty. The Handbook takes the period 100 to 600 CE as a chronological span and examines the vast geographical area impacted by the early church, in Western and Eastern late antiquity.

The Oxford Handbook of JEWISH STUDIES

Edited by Martin Goodman, University of Oxford

Associate Editors: Jeremy Cohen, Tel Aviv University, and David Sorkin, University of Wisconsin-Madison

‘an excellent introduction to the contemporary academic study of Judaism and everything related to it’ Religion and Theology

‘undergraduates could not wish for a more reliable and helpful volume’ Jewish Chronicle

‘as a state-of-the-art exploration of Jewish studies, this book is of seminal importance’ The Church Times

This Handbook covers all the main areas currently taught and researched as part of Jewish Studies in universities throughout the world, especially in Europe, the United States, and Israel. The span of the volume chronologically and geographically is thus enormous, but all contributors have in common their expertise in the study of the history, literature, religion, and culture of the Jews.

The Oxford Handbook of HOLOCAUST STUDIES

Edited by Peter Hayes, Northwestern University, and John K. Roth, Claremont McKenna College (Emeritus)

Few scholarly fi elds have developed in recent decades as rapidly and vigorously as Holocaust Studies.

The Oxford Handbook of RELIGION AND ECOLOGY

Edited by Roger S. Gottlieb, Worcester Polytechnic Institute

‘an interesting, stimulating, and useful book, well researched and well written’Tony Watling, Journal of Contemporary Religion

‘essential work’Nigel Cooper, The Church Times

The last two decades have seen the emergence of a new fi eld of academic study that examines the interaction between religion and ecology. Theologians from every religious tradition have confronted world religions’ past attitudes towards nature and acknowledged their own faiths’ complicity in the environmental crisis. Out of this confrontation have been born vital new theologies based in the recovery of marginalized elements of tradition, profound criticisms of the past, and ecologically oriented visions of God, the Sacred, the Earth, and human beings. This Handbook will serve as the defi nitive overview of these exciting new developments.

The Oxford Handbook of RELIGION AND THE AMERICAN NEWS MEDIA

Edited by Diane Winston, University of Southern California

Once relegated to the private sphere, or confi ned to its own section of the newspaper, religion is now a major part of daily news coverage. Every journalist needs a basic knowledge of religion to cover everything from presidential elections to healthcare policy to the ethical issues raised by latest developments in media research. The Oxford Handbook of Religion and the American News Media will be the go-to volume for both secular and religious journalists and journalism educators, scholars in medical studies, journalism studies, religious studies, and American studies.

The Oxford Handbook of RELIGION AND AMERICAN POLITICS

Edited by Corwin Smidt, Calvin College, Lyman Kellstedt, Wheaton College (Emeritus), and James Guth, Furman University

Over the past three decades, the study of religion and politics has gone from being ignored by the scholarly community to being a major focus of research. This Handbook seeks to bridge that gap by examining the considerable research that has been conducted to this point and assessing what has been learned, what remains unsettled due to confl icting research fi ndings, and what important questions remain largely unaddressed by current research endeavours. The Handbook is unique to the fi eld of religion and American politics and should be of wide interest to scholars, students, journalists, and others interested in the American political scene.

The Oxford Handbook of THE ELEGY

Edited by Karen Weisman, University of Toronto

Mourning and memorialization are at the very centre of literary culture. They take on forms deeply resonant of the sundry traditions

of poetic elegy even when those elegiac conventions are displaced, concealed, or plainly unintentional. For all of its pervasiveness, however, the “elegy” remains remarkably ill-defi ned: sometimes used as a catch-all to denominate texts of a sombre or pessimistic tone, sometimes as a marker for textual monumentalizing, and sometimes strictly as a sign of a lament for the dead. This Handbook is the single most comprehensive survey of its subject. It provides both a historical survey and a thematic engagement with the relevant issues in elegy.
