Worship with One Accord
Authors: Wainwright Geoffrey 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The historical course of Christianity in the twentieth century has been strongly marked by the Ecumenical Movement and the Liturgical Movement, and often these currents for the recovery of the Church’s unity and the renewal of its worship have flowed together. In this new book, author Geoffrey Wainwright draws on his three decades of active participation in both movements to offer a theologically informed account of what has been at stake in them, what their achievements have been, and what tasks remain for them to accomplish. He shows how the two movements have engaged such issues as the authority and function of scripture and tradition as well as the nature of the Church and sacraments. In this last connection, Wainwright illuminates the convergence represented by the widely received Lima text on “Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry,” in the writing of which he played a prominent part. The linguistic and anthropological turns that characterize twentieth-century thought are reflected in the attention given to the language and ritual of worship. The social location of the Church is addressed in chapters that look to liturgical practices for common Christian perspectives on ethics, politics, and culture, so that discords and conflicts may be resolved and reconciled. The book makes its own contribution to the symphony of praise to which the apostle Paul summons Christians and the churches.
‘‘Like A Man Among Men’’: The Female Saint In A Male Corpus
Authors: Kitchen John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We have examined the common and, at least in relation to Fortunatus’s hagiography, some of the distinctive features of the LVP. Now we turn to the nineteenth book of this collection to consider Gregory’s depiction of a female saint and to see how this composition compares with the rest of the work. Similar to the Life of Saint Radegund in Fortunatus’s corpus of prose biographies, Monegund’s Vita is the only account in the LVP telling the story of a holy woman.
Baudonivia’ S Life Of Saint Radegund
Authors: Kitchen John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Not too long after Fortunatus composed his Vita sanctae Radegundis, and probably after he had died, a nun at the convent Radegund founded, who also knew the saint personally, wrote another biography of this holy woman.’ That two contemporary authors well acquainted with the same holy person both wrote biographies is relatively rare in Merovingian hagiography. If her reason for undertaking this task is taken, at least for the moment, at face value, the author of the second Vita, Baudonivia, intends to fill out Fortunatus’s incomplete portrait of the saint.
Ikkyu And Koans
Authors: Kabanoff Alexander 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Ikkyfi Sojun (1394-1481) was one of the most famous Zen monks in Muromachi-era Japan (1333-1573) because of his unconventional and eccentric behavior (not by chance he often called himself Kyoun, the “Crazy Cloud”), his unorthodox views, and his artistic abilities. His reputation as a popular hero of amusing stories has long been preserved, and his life story has been enriched by legends and anecdotes that are well-known among Japanese children today. We will examine Ikkyu’s role as an original thinker and a versatile poet who left a collection of poems in Chinese writing or kanbun, the Kyoun-shu (An Anthology of the Crazy Cloud), many of which deal with traditional Zen koans in innovative and creative ways.
Unveiling Maternal Desires Hitchcock And American Domesticity
Authors: Michie Elsie B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Hoover’s comments suggest the importance of the mother as a figure who, in keeping the household going, maintains both the family and a patriotic image of America. In this paper I analyze the way the mother is the vehicle for but also resists such an idyllic image of the domestic sphere in two Hitchcock films, one made in the era of Hoover’s comments, Shadow of a Doubt (1943), the other in the postwar period, the second version of The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956). These two films differ from the rest of the Hitchcock canon because in them the mother is represented not critically, as in films like Psycho, Notorious, The Birds, and even North by Northwest, but positively. Ronnie Scheib’s lyrical description of Emma Newton (Patricia Collinge), the mother in Shadow of a Doubt, could equally well be applied to Jo McKenna (Doris Day), the mother in The Man Who Knew Too Much, “She seems to move through a flow of energy which is both feeling and action, identity and instinct, obeying an inner necessity of domestic security.”
From Spellbound To Vertigo, Alfred Hitchcock And Therapeutic Culture In America
Authors: Freedman Jonathan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Now that depth psychology, with the help of films, soapopera, and Horney, has delved into the deepest recesses, people’s last possibility of experiencing themselves has been cut off by organized culture. Ready-made enlightenment turns not only spontaneous reflection but also analytical insights-whose power equals the energy and suffering that it cost to gain them-into mass-produced articles, and the painful secrets of individual history, which the orthodox method is already inclined to reduce to formulae, into commonplace conventions. Dispelling rationalizations becomes itself rationalization. Instead of working to gain self-awareness, the initiates become adept at subsuming all instinctual conflicts under such concepts as inferiority-complex, mother-fixation, extroversion, and introversion, to which they are in reality inaccessible. Terror before the abyss of the self is removed by the consciousness of being concerned with nothing so very different from arthritis or sinus trouble.
Rear-View Mirror: Hitchcock, Poe, and the Flaneur in America
Authors: Brand Dana 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
As many of the essays in this volume make clear, the films of Alfred Hitchcock’s American period are shaped by his direct and imaginative experience of America and his interest in American films. While little can be known with certainty about Hitchcock’s familiarity with American literature, one thing that is known is that Hitchcock acknowledged a significant imaginative debt to an American writer, Edgar Allan Poe. In a 1961 essay entitled “Why I Am Afraid of the Dark,” Hitchcock described how he discovered the works of Poe at the age of sixteen, after reading an account of Poe’s life. “Very likely,” Hitchcock wrote, it’s because I was so taken with the Poe stories that I later made suspense films. I don’t want to seem immodest, but I can’t help comparing what I’ve tried to put in my films with what Edgar Allan Poe put in his novels (sic): a completely unbelievable story told to the readers with such a spellbinding logic that you get the impression that the same thing could happen to you tomorrow.... I believe Poe has a special place in the world of literature. He’s at the same time certainly a romantic and a herald of modern literature.
Surrendered to Jesus
Authors: Rubin Julius H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Dear God, what do you have in mind for me? Why do I live in such unreality? I am also Thy child and belong to Thee and Thou willst help me. But the days drag out and I do not see my way in front of me, but am only anxious about them. Help me to step out of myself and into Thy hands. Amen.
Religious Melancholy among other Anabaptist Sects
Authors: Rubin Julius H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is instructive to compare Arnoldism with other primitivist, Pietist, and Anabaptist sects, and see how these movements address issues of religious freedom, unity, purity, and religious personality. Do primitivism and Pietism give rise to coercion? What factors lessen the moral absolutism in these religious communities? Do the faithful in other primitivist and Pietist total communities also suffer religious melancholy? Congregational polity in church-communities among the Mennonite, Brethren, and Amish permit private household economies that mitigate the tendency toward religious authoritarianism and moral absolutism. Schism among these sects affords the expression of individual religious conscience and other differences through rebellious division of the church-community. Factionalism and the frequent division and creation of new colonies among Western Hutterites lessen the severity of social controls of church-community. The toleration of factionalism, the Hut terite practice of splitting of colonies to keep communes no large than one hundred twenty-five persons, and the dynamics of schism serve as institutionalized safety values.
The Seven Deadly Sins
Authors: Schimmel Solomon 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
All of us are engaged in a personal, ongoing battle with sin and vice. The seven deadly sins - lust, greed, envy, anger, pride, gluttony, and sloth - are our main antagonists in this struggle. They are primary causes of unhappiness and immorality, and because of their pervasive nature, have been of perennial interest to religious thinkers, philosophers, dramatists, and poets. In The Seven Deadly Sins, Solomon Schimmel explains why psychology must incorporate many of the ethical and spiritual values of religion and moral philosophy if it is to effectively address the emotional problems faced by modern men and women, be they believers or agnostics. Drawing on the psychological insights of the Bible, Aristotle, Maimonides, Aquinas, and Shakespeare, among others, he shows how all of us can learn from them about the relationship between virtue and psychological well-being and vice and emotional distress. This insightful and fascinating work guides us to master our passions rather than be enslaved by them so that we can become more humane and build a happier, caring society.
The Persistence of Sin
Authors: Schimmel Solomon 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The seven deadly sins—pride, anger, envy, greed, gluttony, lust, and sloth—are with us every day. Consider these events, typical of many regularly reported in the press:
Arrogant and self-centered yuppies suffer depression and other psychological problems during the recession of 1990-91 when they find themselves out of jobs and suddenly realize that they are much less important than they had assumed themselves to be. “ ‘My patients are very bitter,’ said ... a psychoanalyst to whom patients are referred from employee assistance programs in troubled Wall Street organizations. ‘Many of them came from upper-middle-income families and went to all the correct schools and felt they had a passport to success.’ “ (New York Times, November 7, 1990).
Lust
Authors: Schimmel Solomon 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Teenage promiscuity, rape, incest, pornography, prostitution, adultery, sexually transmitted disease, unhappy marriages, and divorce are rampant in our society. In our daily news fare we read of twelve-yearold children with multiple sex partners, of college athletes who gang rape a mentally retarded woman, of men who refuse to wear a condom because it will decrease the pleasure of the sexual act even though they may transmit the AIDS virus to their partners. Jealous lovers, their lust frustrated by a competitor, commit murder, while in embittered relationships sexual desire is manipulated and used as a tool of vengeance rather than as an ancillary of love. Lust, the unrestrained and unethical expression of the sexual impulse, is a major cause of such problem behavior.
A government study on violence against women released in March 1991 indicates that the rate of rape in America is the world’s highest, estimated between l. 3 and 2 million per year, the vast majority of which go unreported.
Sin and Responsibility
Authors: Schimmel Solomon 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The differences of opinion expressed by a judge, district attorney, and defense attorney in the trial and sentencing of a convicted criminal in New York illustrate the conflicting assumptions that characterize discussions of sin, responsibility, and punishment. They exemplify the difficulties we face when we try to ascribe responsibility for sins and crimes and determine appropriate remedies or penalties for them:
The Brooklyn District Attorney said yesterday that she may appeal a judge’s decision to give five years’ probation to a Chinese immigrant convicted of bludgeoning his wife to death with a hammer.
The judge said he did not treat the man more harshly, in part, because of testimony that Chinese attitudes toward adultery helped explain the crime.
The Sufi Orders in Islam
Authors: Trimingham J Spencer 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Sufism, the name given to Islamic mysticism, has been the subject of many studies, but the orders through which the organizational aspect of the Sufi spirit was expressed has been neglected. The Sufi Orders in Islam is one of the earliest modern examinations of the historical development of Sufism and is considered a classic work in numerous sources of Islamic studies today. Here, author J. Spencer Trimingham offers a clear and detailed account of the formation and development of the Sufi schools and orders (tariqahs) from the second century of Islam until modern times. Trimingham focuses on the practical disciplines behind the mystical aspects of Sufism which initially attracted a Western audience. He shows how Sufism developed and changed, traces its relationship to the unfolding and spread of mystical ideas, and describes in sharp detail its rituals and ceremonial practices. Finally, he assesses the influence of these Sufi orders upon Islamic society in general. John O. Voll has added a new introduction to this classic text and provides readers with an updated list of further reading. The Sufi Orders in Islam will appeal not only to those already familiar with Triminghams groundbreaking research, but also to the growing reading public of Islamic studies and mysticism.
The Ideology of Religious Studies
Authors: Fitzgerald Timothy 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This book argues that ‘religion’ is not a genuine analytical category since it does no useful work in helping us to understand the world we live in. While it appears to have something important and meaningful to say about societies and cultures and personal experiences, when one looks at its actual use in a wide spectrum of descriptives and analytical contexts it becomes clear that so much is included in the term that it becomes indistinguishable from “culture.” By failing to specify any distinctive kind of experience or social institution, it inhibits and hinder the flow of intellectual development in the humanities. According to author Timothy Fitzgerald, long-standing debates about the validity of ‘religion’ as an analytical category that have been taking place in the religious studies community have been circular. One reason for this is that the ideological distinction between “religion” and the “the secular” has been so comprehensively institutionalized in western social systems that it appears as being “in the nature softhing.” However, many religions scholars themselves have had serious doubts about what constitutes their field of study. After failing to arrive at any consensus about what definitional criteria distinguish religion from non-religion, or at what analytical level the term is being used, many scholars have virtually claimed that “religion” is self-validating. In other words, its meaningfulness is guaranteed by its use. The term is so comprehensively embedded in the language game, Fitzgerald argues, that it inevitably appears self-justifying to those who employ it and, indeed, to those who are employed by it. This book widen the cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural scope of the analysis, looking at texts, ostensibly about “religion,” produced by religionists, anthropologists, historians, and others. By analysing its multiples uses, Fitzgerald demonstrates that the continued faith in the category as an analytical tool and as the basis for distinct academis departments is illusory and cannot be justified by any supposed analytical gains. He shows the confusios caused in the analysis of social institutions in India and Japan by the adoption of the modern western distinction between religion and non-religion, and the consequent conflist in those cultures between indigenous and western political, juridical, and intellectual values. By critically rethinking “religion,” scholars can contribute to the wider task of reconstructing western categories, thus opening the academic agenda to new insight and understanding about human values and institutions.
The Coming of the Lord The Northern Protestant Clergy and the Civil War Crisis
Authors: Fredrickson George M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
On April 14, 1865, a large crowd of Union partisans gathered in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina, to celebrate the return of the American flag to its prewar position atop the battlements of Fort Sumter. The featured speaker at this most important and richly symbolic of northern victory ceremonies was the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, pastor of the Plymouth Church in Brooklyn, New York. The choice of Beecher to be the orator of the day was a recognition of his personal services to the Union cause and those of the profession to which he belonged-the clergy of the principal northern Protestant denominations.
American Youth Violence
Authors: Zimring Franklin E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This is the definitive examination of adolescent violence in the United States as both a social phenomenon and a policy problem. Franklin Zimring, one of America’s most esteemed scholars of law and crime, scrutinizes criminal statistics and demographic trends in order to authoritatively address public worries. The result is a thorough debunking of Congressional predictions of “a coming storm of juvenile violence” and the half-baked policy proposals that accompany such warnings. The book sets forth comprehensive and dispassionate analyses of three key areas of youth violence policy: adolescent firearms possession and use, standards for transfer from juvenile to criminal court jurisdiction, and legal sanctions for adolescents who kill. Throughout American Youth Violence, the core issues of youth violence in the 1990s are examined with an unprecedented degree of analytic rigour. Zimring also offers an appropriate set of responses to youth violence that are consistent with a positive future for the juvenile court and for American youth.
Perpetration versus Complicity
Authors: Fletcher George P 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When a single offender acts alone, he or she is the sole perpetrator or principal. Problems arise when other people get involved. The degree of participation of others varies from a minimal contribution (giving advice, supplying tools or transportation) to taking charge and executing the commission of the crime. Those who counsel, assist, advise, or solicit are called accessories. They are complicitous in the acts of the perpetrator.
Intra- and lnterpopulation Genetic Variation Explaining the Past and Predicting the Future
Authors: Mousseau Timothy A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
There are two principal reasons for interest in the genetics of traits associated with adaptation: the first concerns the elucidation of past evolutionary responses to environmental change, and the second concerns our ability to predict future evolutionary responses to selection. If we can understand the causes and mechanisms underlying adaptive phenotypic variation that have occurred in the past, this will provide clues to how populations, communities, and ecosystems may evolve in response to future environmental change. For example, much of the latitudinal variation currently observed in north temperate insect life histories (e.g., Tauber et al. 1986, Danks 1987) is genetically based and has evolved since the last glacial period. Because similar patterns of life-history variation have evolved repeatedly, independently, and even on different continents, this suggests that these patterns of genetically based phenotypic variation are generally adaptive (Endler 1987) and likely to arise again in response to similar patterns of environmental change. Examples of such patterns include Bergmann ‘s and Allen ‘s rules for endotherms (Futuyma 1998) and the converse to Bergmann ‘s Rule in ectotherms (Mousseau and Roff 1989, Mousseau 1997).
T. S. Eliot, B. A. Botkin, and the Politics of Cultural Representation
Authors: Hirsch Jerrold 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) and B. A. Botkin (1901-1975). What can be the purpose of juxtaposing these two individuals, the former the most famous of twentiethcentury poets, the latter a folklorist unfamiliar to most readers? Readers who recognize Botkin’s name—probably as the author of a series of popular folklore treasuries—will still no doubt wonder about the purpose of such a seemingly awkward contrast. Few are likely to know Botkin began his career as a poet interested in folklore. And those who know some biographical data about these two figures, one the descendant of an old New England family, the other a child of Jewish immigrants from Lithuania, will probably find the idea of discussing them together even more puzzling. By background and choice, Botkin represented much of what Eliot detested about modernity—although it is unlikely Eliot knew about Botkin. Botkin, however, like all poets writing in the English language after the publication of The Waste Land (1922), thought about Eliot.
Introduction
Authors: Baum Robert M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This work is a study of the religious and social history of a small cluster of Diola communities in southwestern Senegal, before the establishment of effective colonial rule by the French, British, and Portuguese. Prior to the colonial conquest, the Diola experienced a series of profound changes that affected nearly every aspect of community life. What are presently identified as Diola religious and social institutions developed during an era of political and economic upheaval that was fueled by the gradual penetration of transatlantic slave-trading networks and the growing importance of a world economic system. These pressures were aggravated by an uncertain environment, contact with diverse ethnic groups, and a variety of internal problems that developed in a cluster of independent townships at the northern limits of the Guinean forest. By focusing on the history of Diola traditional religion in the eighteenth and nineteenth century, before Muslims and Christians had become important influences in the region, I will be able to examine the ways in which an indigenous system of thought both shaped a community’s responses to rapidly changing social conditions and was affected by that very act of interpretation.1 Many of these changes are remembered in oral traditions and are analyzed by Diola oral historians who seek to understand the meaning of these experiences. Through the examination of Diola traditions, this study analyzes internal structures of innovation within a Diola religious system that enabled it to adapt to the social upheavals of the precolonial era.
