This book explores the act of writing and its many roles in the Study of Religion. It examines writing as a tool and technique, from research notes and field diary entries to the publication of scientific articles and monographs. The book further inspects the role of creative writing in religious studies, and its use to break free from otherwise restrictive conventions of academic writing. And finally, it looks at the technique of creative writing and how it can be combined with a wide variety of neo-spiritual practices: prayer and sleep diaries, magical rituals, descriptions of visions and shamanic journey, and messages channeled from the spirit world. Writing as a Tool and Technique in the Study of Religion is a fit for scholars in the Study of Religion, Esotericism, Theology, as well as Creative Writing.

A transformative journey through Christian doctrine

William Lane Craig's Systematic Philosophical Theology is a multi-volume explication of Christian doctrine in the classic Protestant tradition of the loci communes as seen through the lens of contemporary analytic philosophy. Uniquely blending the disciplines of biblical theology, historical theology, and analytic theology, these volumes aim to provide readers with a biblical and philosophically coherent articulation of a wide range of Christian doctrines.

With Vol. IV:On Christ, On Salvation we come to the very heart of Christian theology: Christology and soteriology. Craig, ranked among the most influential living philosophers and theologians, presents an original neo-Apollinarian model of the incarnation and a multi-faceted theory of the atonement featuring penal substitution at the center. This volume also includes an excursus on the historicity of Christ's resurrection that explains the two steps involved in defending Jesus' physical, bodily resurrection as the best explanation of the facts of Jesus' fate.

This volume integrates insights from Scripture and secular disciplines to provide a synoptic worldview connecting religious and scientific knowledge. Craig presents an ecumenically sensitive doctrine of justification and sanctification while engaging deep philosophical questions surrounding Christian doctrine. Finally, he tackles the most difficult question of the particularity of salvation through Christ, defending a Molinist solution to the problem of the unevangelized.

Readers will also discover:

• An original Christological model that addresses longstanding philosophical challenges while remaining faithful to orthodox Christian theological commitments and biblical foundations
• Careful contextualized analysis of historical evidence for the Resurrection integrating biblical scholarship with philosophical methodology and historical analysis
• Distinctive formulations of Christian doctrines including divine temporality and Molinist perspectives on providence offering fresh approaches to traditional concepts
• An ecumenically sensitive treatment of justification and sanctification bridging Protestant and Catholic perspectives through careful philosophical and theological analysis

Essential for Christian philosophers, systematic theologians, and advanced students in philosophy of religion, Systematic Philosophical Theology, Volume 4: On Christ, On Salvation provides the philosophical depth and analytical precision demanded by specialists.

This book considers the invisibility of women authors and scholars by examining the case of condemned heretic Marguerite Porete, burned in Paris's Place de Greve in 1310.

It traces the rediscovery of the beguine heretic by French historians in the sixteenth century and the post-medieval transformation of her memory from heretic to hero in previously unexamined accounts of historians, literary authors, and political activists through to the nineteenth century. Initially portrayed as the corrupt leader of the heretical beguines - lay religious women condemned by the Council of Vienne (1311-1312) - Marguerite Porete was eventually celebrated as a freethinker and harbinger of female emancipation. Though her burning in Paris's central square had made her a well-known figure by the nineteenth century, her actual work as an author remained invisible until 1946, when Romana Guarnieri ascribed to her the authorship of The Mirror of Simple Souls, the first mystical treatise written in French.

Religion studies professor Danielle C. Dubois considers Guarnieri's field-shifting scholarship and the ensuing twentieth-century portrayals of Marguerite Porete, including the recent dedication of the Place Marguerite Porete, not far from the site of her burning. The Afterlives of Marguerite Porete is thus a case study on the systemic omission of women writers across time.

From a leading historian, a sweeping account of the Second Great Awakening, one of the most significant eras of religious change in American history

The Second Great Awakening, spanning from roughly 1790 to 1840, was the greatest period of Protestant growth in U.S. history. Marked by spectacular revivals, it dramatically changed the denominational landscape, elevating Baptists and Methodists from minor sects to America's leading denominations. It also witnessed a mass conversion of African Americans to Christianity, spurred advancements in education and benevolent societies, fostered the burgeoning print trade, and helped to organize the frontier. Moreover, this period saw significant schisms within Protestant denominations over the issue of slavery.

In this first-ever comprehensive history of the Second Great Awakening, celebrated historian Thomas S. Kidd tells the dramatic story of this epochal period. Ranging from the United States to still-monarchical Canada and the British Caribbean, Kidd

* challenges the conventional view that the Second Great Awakening was a monolithic wave of democratization and
* portrays a period riddled with divisions, both regional and doctrinal, that prefigured the fissures leading to the Civil War.

A follow-up to Kidd's influential book The Great Awakening: The Roots of Evangelical Religion in Colonial America, this meticulously researched account provides invaluable insights into this pivotal period in American religious history.

Building on the exegetical foundation and hermeneutical framework laid out in The Sabbath Presence in the Hebrew Bible: Origins and Meanings, this book extends the earlier work's exploration of the Sabbath, viewing it from the perspective of human engagement with the divine presence. Bringing together biblical exegesis and Jewish interpretative traditions, it evaluates sacred time, Sabbath observance and Sabbath law in the light of the part they play in fostering a relationship with 'the Presence'. Moving beyond the biblical tradition, this volume explores how the Sabbath was interpreted and reshaped within Second Temple literature and compares these developments with the original intent of the Sabbath as reflected in the Hebrew Bible, thereby providing a framework for evaluating later models of Sabbath observance and experience. Through in-depth analysis of key texts and interpretative methods, the book provides scholars, theologians, and students with a new perspective on the Sabbath's enduring significance within both Jewish thought and the broader religious discourse, thereby appealing to specialists in biblical studies, theology, and religious studies, as well as graduate students, academics, and the clergy.
