Sanctification, Homosexuality, And God ‘s Triune Life
Authors: Rogers,Jr Eugene F 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
While Christians have always debated “practical” issues like ordination of women, freeing of slaves, and marriage-like unions for gay and lesbian people,1 they have also always treated embodiment as one of the “highest” concerns of their intellectual discourse, from the election of Israel to the incarnation of God and the resurrection of the dead. Put another way, theology has used one set of terms—creation, election, incarnation, resurrection—while ethically charged postmodern discourse uses another—embodiment, race, gender, orientation. Theologians such as Karl Barth tell us that ethics and high theology ought to be closely related,2 and anthropologists of religion such as Clifford Geertz tell us similar things about ethos and worldview, or social and intellectual practices.3 Yet only too rarely do Christian ethicists connect doctrines such as incarnation, election, and resurrection with race, gender, and orientation.4 My constructive proposals attempt to renegotiate ethos and worldview in Christianity by reference to the central symbols that connect them—where ethos includes the practices of marriage (or lack thereof) for straight, gay, and lesbian people; worldview includes what Christians believe about the world, signally dogmatics (“a critical native model”5); and the central symbol is the body of Christ enacted in the sacraments. Marriage and the Eucharist (as well as baptism and monastic vows) tell Christians what bodies are for before God, or what they mean, by incorporating them into the body of Christ.
Pride
Authors: Schimmel Solomon 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The passions evoked by the Gulf crisis of 1990-91 between the United States and Iraq remind us that pride and humiliation are among the most powerful motives for behavior and a major cause of conflict between nations. Throughout the crisis, emotions related to pride were most frequently mentioned by antagonists and analysts to condemn or justify actions. Iraqi and American leaders accused each other of arrogance. Saddam Hussein claimed to be fighting to restore Arab dignity. President Bush wanted to humiliate Hussein. The outcome of the war presumably restored America’s pride and national honor which had been diminished when our forces departed from Vietnam in shame and humiliation. According to one issue of Newsweek, for example:
Church, Honor, and Secession
Authors: Wyatt-Brown Bertram 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Anger and frustration were the root emotions that drove southerners to secede, a visceral response to a collective sense of humiliation. Years of transatlantic criticism of slaveholding and growing northern indifference to southern interests had been a constant source of vexation. Contrary to some historical opinion, white southerners were alarmed not simply because they feared what Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans might do once in power.

For the natives of that country have the following myth: In ancient times Meion became king of Phrygia and Lydia; and marrying Dindyme he begat an infant daughter, but being unwilling to rear her he exposed her on the mountain which was called Cybelus. There, in accordance with some divine providence, both the leopards and some of the other especially ferocious wild beasts offered their nipples to the child and so gave it nourishment, and some women who were tending the flocks in that place witnessed the happening, and being astonished at the strange event took up the babe and called her Cybele after the name of the place.

Lituolone
Authors: Leeming David Adams 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
There is a Sesuto tale that tells of a monster that used to devour humans; eventually the only person left on earth was an old woman who had gone into hiding, and who, without the aid of a man, gave birth to a child bedecked with amulets, to whom she gave the name of the god Lituolone. On the very day he was born, the child attained adult stature. He asked his mother where other men were, and, being told of the monster Kammapa, he took hold of a knife and prepared to fight it. He was swallowed by the fabulous animal, and this allowed him to tear the beast’s entrails to pieces and bring forth from its stomach thousands of human beings.

There were great rejoicings in Gokula for the birth of a son to Nand and Yasoda: the astrologers prophesied that the child would slay the demons and should be called Lord of the Herd-girls, the gopis, and his glory should be sung throughout the world. But Kans knew not where Shri Krishna had been born, and he sent out murderers to slay all children.Among his followers there was a rakshasi named Putana, who knew of the birth of Nand’s son, and she went to Gokula for his destruction, taking the shape of a beautiful woman, but she had poison in her breasts.
Siegfried

Published: November 2023

Abstract
One year passed on after another, till the prince grew almost to man’s estate. But labour in the smithy was irksome to him, and when his comrades set him right, he beat them, threw them down, and, on one occasion, went so far as to drag the best smith among them-Wieland-by the hair to his master’s feet. “This will not do at all,” said Mimer; “come here and forge yourself a good sword.”
Buddha
Authors: Leeming David Adams 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The young prince Gautama Sakyamuni, the Future Buddha, had been protected by his father from all knowledge of age, sickness, death, or monkhood, lest he should be moved to thoughts of life renunciation; for it had been prophesied at his birth that he was to become either a world emperor or a Buddha. The king-prejudiced in favor of the royal vocation-provided his son with three palaces and forty thousand dancing girls to keep his mind attached to the world. But these only served to advance the inevitable; for while still relatively young, the youth exhausted for him self the fields of fleshly joy and became ripe for the other experience.

Abstract
After Kutoyis had looked about the inside of the lodge, he looked out through a hole in the lodge covering, and then, turning round, he said to the old people: “How is it there is nothing to eat in this lodge? I see plenty of food over by the other lodge.” “Hush up,” said the old woman, “you will be heard. That is our son-inlaw. He does not give us anything at all to eat.” “Well,” said Kutoyis, “where is your piskun?” The old woman said, “It is down by the river. We pound on it and the buffalo come out.”
Kyazimba
Authors: Leeming David Adams 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
An East African tribe, for example, the Wachago of Tanganyika, tell of a very poor man named Kyazimba, who set out in desperation for the land where the sun rises. And he had traveled long and grown tired, and was simply standing, looking hopelessly in the direction of his search, when he heard someone approaching from behind. He turned and perceived a decrepit little woman. She came up and wished to know his business. When he had told her, she wrapped her garment around him, and, soaring from the earth, transported him to the zenith, where the sun pauses in the middle of the day.
Quetzalcoatl
Authors: Leeming David Adams 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In Tollan dwelt Quetzalcoatl. And in Tollan all the arts and crafts that we know of were first practised, for Quetzalcoatl taught them to the people there. He taught them the smelting of silver and the clearing and setting of precious stones; he taught the craft of building with stones; he taught them how to make statues, and paint signs in books, and keep count of the moons and suns. All crafts except the craft of war Quetzalcoatl taught the people of Tollan. And they made sacrifice to him with bread, and flowers, and perfumes, and not as other peoples made sacrifice to the other gods by tearing the hearts out of the opened breasts of men and women.

Attis was a boy of marvelous beauty. The tale goes on that Agdistis fell in love with him. The savage deity took the grown lad out hunting, led him into the most inaccessible wildernesses and gave him spoils of the chase. Midas, King of Pessinous, sought to separate Attis from Agdistis, and to this end gave the boy his own daughter to wife. Agdistis appeared at the wedding and drove the participants mad with the notes of a syrinx. Attis castrated himself beneath a pine-tree, crying out: “Unto thee, Agdistis!” And thus he died.

Abstract
Again he went on, and after a while he came to a big camp. This was the place of a man-eater. Kutoyis called a little girl he saw near by, and said to her: “Child, I am going into that lodge to let that man-eater kill and eat me. Watch close, therefore, and when you can get hold of one of my bones, take it out and call all the dogs, and when they have all come up to you, throw it down and cry out, ‘Kutoyis, the dogs are eating your bones!”‘
Death And The Promise Of New Life
Authors: Leeming David Adams 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The stories of this section are really a part of a death-underworld-resurrection pattern, a consideration of which will be continued in the next two chapters. Emerging from the stories of Part 5 alone is a myth of the death of the hero by some violent means-hanging, dismemberment, castration, or rape. Sometimes the death is self-inflicted. In the wake of the hero’s departure from life comes a loss of fertility; the land, as in the story of the Fisher King, dies.
Odysseus
Authors: Leeming David Adams 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
At length we were at the shore where lay the ship. Promptly we launched her into the divine sea, stepped the mast, made sail and went: not forgetting the sheep, though our hearts were very low and big tears rained down from our eyes. Behind the darkprowed vessel came a favourable wind, our welcomed way-fellow, whom we owed to Circe, the kind-spoken yet awe some Goddess: so when each man had done his duty by the ship we could sit and watch the wind and the helmsman lead us forward, day-long going steadily across the deep, our sails cracking full, till sundown and its dark ness covered the sea’s illimitable ways.
The Night Journey Of The Soul
Authors: Leeming David Adams 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the universal myth of the descent into the underworld the hero finds himself an explorer in the province of death itself. This is the continuance of the scapegoat process, in which the hero, as man’s agent, faces in depth what man himself so fears. The hero is our hope of overcoming death and understanding its meaning. The specific purpose of the voyage is usually to retrieve a loved one, to attain knowledge of personal or racial destiny, or simply to complete a great task. Whatever the reason, the myth involves the hero’s suffering or witnessing the actual torments of the underworld before defeating death definitively in rebirth or resurrection.

As Cytherea sailed midair near Cyprus, She overheard, as from far distance, echoes Of her beloved’s voice; swiftly she steered Her circling swans above the boy’s pale body.

Abstract
Thereupon the goddess [Kamrusepa] summoned an eagle and told it to go forth along with the bee and bring Telipinu back. A few days later a tall pole was set up in the courtyard of the temple, and from it was hung, in honor of Telipinu, the snow-white fleece of a newborn lamb.
Osiris And Isis
Authors: Leeming David Adams 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The lamentations of the two sad sisters were not in vain. In pity for her sorrow the sun-god Ra sent down from heaven the jackal-headed god Anubis, who, with the aid of Isis and Nephthys, of Thoth and Horus, pieced together the broken body of the murdered god, swathed it in linen bandages, and observed all the other rites which the Egyptians were wont to perform over the bodies of the departed. Then Isis fanned the cold clay with her wings: Osiris revived, and thenceforth reigned as king over the dead in the other world.

Abstract
It came to pass that the next day there was a great dance, and her lover went with the throng. But his mother and the girl waited until everyone had assembled at the dance, and all the road was empty. Then they came out of the house and mingled with the crowd. When the relations saw Wanjiru, they said, “Surely that is Wanjiru whom we had lost.”

Abstract
There was a certain woman who had many daughters. Among them were three of exceptional beauty, and of these, one was more beautiful than all the rest. Now, it happened that three young men from a neighboring country arrived at the village where these girls lived, and when they saw them, they fell in love at once: That very day they decided to marry, and the next day the men brought the hoes that symbolize engagement. When formal greetings had been exchanged, the young men went home until the end of the year, after which they would return for the marriage ceremonies.
Quetzalcoatl
Authors: Leeming David Adams 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Quetzalcoatl was not dead. In one of his statues he was shown reclining, covered with wrappings, signifying that he was absent or “as one who lays him down to sleep, and that when he should wake from that dream of absence, would rise to rule again the land.” He had built mansions underground to the Lord of Mictlan, the lord of the dead, but did not occupy these himself, dwelling, rather, in that land of gold where the sun abides at night.

It ended on the beach It ended with a hulk of serpents formed into a boat & when he’d made it, sat in it & sailed away A boat that glided on those burning waters, no one knowing when he reached the country of Red Daylight It ended on the rim of some great sea It ended with his face reflected in the mirror of its waves The beauty of his face returned to him
Attis

Published: November 2023

Abstract
But when night had fallen, the sorrow of the worshippers was turned to joy. For suddenly a light shone in the darkness: the tomb was opened: the god had risen from the dead; and as the priest touched the lips of the weeping mourners with balm, he softly whispered in their ears the glad tidings of salvation. The resurrection of the god was hailed by his disciples as a promise that they too would issue triumphant from the corruption of the grave.
Shrines of the Slave Trade
Authors: Baum Robert M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this groundbreaking work, Robert Baum seeks to reconstruct the religious and social history of the Diola communities in southern Senegal during the precolonial era, when the Atlantic slave trade was at its height. Baum shows that Diola community leaders used a complex of religious shrines and priesthoods to regulate and contain the influence of the slave trade. He demonstrates how this close involvement with the traders significantly changed Diola religious life.
Isa Upanisad
Authors: Olivelle Patrick 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Isa Upanisad (also called “lsiivasya Upanisad’’) forms the fortieth chapter of the Vajasaneyi Sarphitii of the White Yajurveda. Just like the Kena Upanisad, the IU gets its name from its first word, isii (“by the Lord”). It is the only Upanisad that forms an integral part of a vedic Sarphitii and is, therefore, also known as the “Sarphitii Upanisad.” Just like the BU, the IU has been preserved in two recensions, the Miidhyandina and the Kfu;lva. As a text of the White Yajurveda, the IU shows many similarities in thought and expressions with the BU. Nevertheless, the doctrines and ideas of the IU show that this document belongs broadly to the time and milieu that produced other similar texts with a strong theistic and devotional tendency, such as the SU, MuU, and, to a somewhat lesser extent, the KaU. The IU is placed first in all the indigenous collections of Upanisads.
Women of the Sacred Groves
Authors: Sered Susan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Although most historical and contemporary religions are governed by men, there are, scattered throughout the world, a handful of well-documented religions led by women. Most of these are marginal, subordinate, or secondary religions in the societies in which they are located. The one known exception to this rule is the indigenous religion of Okinawa, where women lead the official mainstream religion of the society. In this fieldwork-based study, Susan Sered provides the first in-depth look at this unique religious tradition, exploring the intersection between religion and gender. In addition to providing important information on this remarkable and little-studied group, this book helps to overturn our mostly unexamined assumptions that male dominance of the religious sphere is universal, axiomatic, and necessary.
The Church Faces Death
Authors: Jinkins Michael 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Ecclesiology (the theology of the church) is a neglected topic in contemporary theology. At a time when the institutional churches are experiencing dramatic decline, says Michael Jinkins, we need a new understanding of what the church is. In this work, Jinkins challenges the church to rediscover its vocation, to follow Jesus Christ even at the risk of its institutional survival. In the face of a variety of perceived threats to its future, he reminds us that the church is most alive and attractive when it forgets about itself and its safety. The ecclesiology Jinkins puts forward is born from a sense of “life in Christ” that can, he argues, face institutional death to recover a remarkable freedom. Without detailing the face of the future church, he asserts his faith that there is indeed life after death for the church as the worshipping body of Christ.
Bodily Bonds: The Intersecting Rhetorics of Feminism and Abolition *
Authors: Sanchez-Eppler Karen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
As Lydia Maria Child tells it in 1836, the story of the woman and the story of the slave are the same story: I have been told of a young physician who went into the far Southern states to settle, and there became in love with a very handsome and modest girl who lived in service. He married her; and about a year after the event a gentleman called at the house and announced himself as Mr. J. of Mobile. He said to Dr. W., “Sir, I have a trifling affair of business to settle with you. You have married a slave of mine.” The young physician resented the language; for he had not entertained the slightest suspicion that the girl had any other than white ancestors since the flood. But Mr. J. furnished proofs of his claim.
