A new lens for our cultural conversations

Routledge Studies in Theology, Imagination and the Arts

The creative act, claims Nicolas Berdyaev, is a prefiguration of the end of the world. To what extent is fiction an exploration of the ultimate ends of humanity - of heaven, hell, death and judgement? And how do modern authors use the literary resources of eschatological imaginings in their storytelling? In this careful yet suggestive study, Greg Clarke explores the eschatological underpinnings of modern fiction. Drawing on the work of Ernst Bloch, Jurgen Moltmann, Jacques Derrida and Frank Kermode, Clarke outlines the way in which literature employs apocalyptic imagery, narrative structures and eschatological themes such as hope, glory, salvation and justice. Through a detailed study of the novels of pre-eminent Australian author Patrick White, a new eschatological approach to criticism emerges, where 'ultimate interests' become a reading lens and a key to understanding the creative impulse.

Eschatology, Apocalypse and Modern Fiction

While Tÿbingen theologian Eberhard Jÿngel's theology remains broadly influential in Continental Europe, his work has largely been overlooked by Anglo-American readers interested in modern Protestantism. There are, however, signs that this trend is changing, as several dissertations, specialist monographs, and popular blog-sites have appeared recently that are devoted to Jÿngel's thought. There is thus a growing audience for the proposed study, which will be the first up-to-date, English-language, general introduction to Jÿngel's theology to appear in three decades. Nelson offers an interpretation of Jÿngel's theology that is unique.

Religious Cultures in the Early Modern World

This is a unique study of the relationship between religious ritual and ceremonial dining. Blunt's work is based on primary sources documenting the daily running of the king's household and will be of interest to scholars researching the court of Charles I and its material culture as well as the religious and political history of his reign.

Routledge New Religions

George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff (c.1866-1949) is acknowledged as one of the most influential early teachers of a hybridised Eastern-Western esoteric spiritual tradition, and one of a few key influences on the contemporary New Age Movement and a myriad other alternative spiritualities and new religions. Positioning Gurdjieff's teachings within the field of New Religious Movements, this book examines the 'Work' (as Gurdjieff's system is commonly called), including his teachings presented in writings, music, and exercises known as 'Movements'. This critical introduction to the Gurdjieff tradition also provides an analysis of problems with unreliable sources and auto-mythology, examines major pupils and successors, and shows how the 'Work' functions in the contemporary spiritual marketplace. Offering an excellent introduction to anyone unfamiliar with Gurdjieff and his context, this book also provides further depth for scholars and an invaluable companion to literature examining Blavatsky, Steiner, Theosophy, and Anthroposophy.

Routledge Studies in Evangelicalism

From the transatlantic revivals of the 1730s and 1740s through to the tumultuous years of the Napoleonic Wars, evangelicals thought a great deal about church history and the relationship of the past with recent events. In this ground-breaking study, Darren Schmidt considers the emergence and development of evangelical Protestantism in the North Atlantic context during the long eighteenth century, through the lens of history-writing by evangelicals themselves. Considering the writings of prominent early evangelicals such as Jonathan Edwards, John Newton and John Wesley, along with lesser known historians with evangelical connections, the volume asks why these individuals, amidst busy lives of pastoral ministry, study, and guidance to a fledgling religious movement, would devote their attention to the pages of the past. In so doing, Schmidt draws out new and intriguing connections between evangelicalism and the wider enlightenment world.

Routledge Contemporary Ecclesiology

This book examines the quest for the fundamentals of Christian belief. The attempt to state what is important and distinguish this from what is of lesser importance for faith has been long-standing and controversial. What is often forgotten is that what we believe is deeply connected to how we believe and the company we keep. The need for a more integrated approach to belief and practice is critical especially in our present day when there is so much conflict and misunderstanding about Christian belief and the practices of the community of faith. This book offers an ecclesial reading of the inner logic of Christian faith, bringing church and theology into a closer and more integrated relationship and thus highlighting the ecclesiological significance of Christian faith. Stephen Pickard outlines the history, motivations and purposes of the quest for the fundamentals of belief; the structure of Christian belief (foundations, short formulae of faith, longer narrative discourse); the Trinitarian pattern of belief; the relationship between the Church and its beliefs; the way in which primary beliefs are translated into liturgy, prayer, sacrament and acts of compassion; the unfinished and dynamic nature of Christian belief. Offering a new approach to the fundamentals of Christian belief, and the connection between believing and belonging, this book presents rich insights into the engine room of theology as a continuous and innovative form of Christian discipleship.

What is Fundamental in Christian Belief?

The book seeks to move forward debates on postsecularity as conceived by Habermas et.al. which recognise that, contrary to secular expectations, religion persists. The study is unique in exploring the irruptions (external breakthroughs) that unsettle secularisation and which give rise to postsecularisation. This shift has rendered sociology vulnerable to some unexpected theological considerations, some of which are explored in the study. Topics considered in the study, which make it accessible, include: dilemmas of naming; emotions and the visual; martyrdom and theodicy. Each of these has irruptive properties that force sociology to reconsider its theological debts. Postsecularity has become a fashionable term, but one which needs to be fleshed out and this study grasps a moment of opportunity to do so, which renders it original.

Postsecularity and Sociology

Commonly known as Dalits, or Untouchables, Paraiyar Christians are a large socially marginalised group living in India within a dynamic and complex social matrix dominated by the caste system. This book presents a detailed exploration of Paraiyar communities, focusing on their religious and cultural identity and examining their worldview within the dominant 'Hindu' religious worldview. Exploring Dalits' wider social context and boundaries, ascribed and achieved identity, and the use of religious symbolism and ritual, this book highlights various tensions and areas of creativity among Paraiyar Christians and how they negotiate their lives within a hierarchical system. Anderson Jeremiah argues that the category 'religion' is inadequate, and he sheds light on the complexity of religious belief in marginalised indigenous communities. This inter-disciplinary, socio-ethonographic study of Dalit Christian community presents a significant anthropological study of Christianity as it is lived out in the grass roots of a marginalised society.

This book provides an introduction to the cultural and intellectual exchanges and conflicts between Islam and Christianity since the seventh century. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the rich history of active cultural contact between Islam and Christianity in Europe and the Middle East, despite periods of conflict since the Arab Conquest of Byzantium. The book highlights the positive traditions of cultural and political partnership that resulted in the exchange of vital religious and philosophical ideas and values. Such partnerships not only introduced the Arabs to the great monuments of Greek philosophy, science and medicine, but also ensured the cultural recurrence of Greek culture, culminating in the Latin Renaissance of the fourteenth and fifteenth century.
