From East to West
A History of Monasticism
Mayeul de Dreuille
The principles and practices of monasticism – obedience, celibacy and withdrawal from society – long pre-date Christianity. This history, by a Catholic monk who worked in India, Congo and Madagascar, surveys its origin in Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism. After examining the links between Eastern and Christian monasticism, it follows its development from the founders of the fourth century through the establishment of the Benedictine order to the challenges it faces today.

Religion, Time and Memorial Culture in Late Medieval Ripon
Stephen Werronen
Ripon in the 14th and 15th centuries was an important ecclesiastical and commercial centre: its market was promoted by the Archbishops of York, who owned the land; and work at Ripon Minster, the church of St Wilfrid, attracted craftsmen such as carpenters and plumbers from surrounding areas as far as York. Stephen Werronen analyses the relationship between religion and society in the parish from 1380 to 1522, looking in particular at the cult of St Wilfrid. No jacket.

In the Name of God
A History of Christian and Muslim Intolerance
Selina O'Grady
Selina O’Grady examines the concept of tolerance – ‘that highest of liberal political virtues’ – through the histories of Islam and Christianity, from the time when the Roman Empire became Christian to the genocides of the 20th century. As she traces the two religions’ changing attitudes to religious minorities she asks whether tolerance is enough to bring today’s post-Christian and Islamic worlds together, or whether something deeper is needed.

Fathers and Anglicans
The Limits of Orthodoxy
Arthur Middleton
Tracing the development of the use of the Fathers in Anglicanism, Arthur Middleton shows how the particular character of the Anglican settlement, with its interplay between Scripture, tradition and reason, together with its constant will to profess only the faith of the undivided Church, has fostered a proximity with Orthodoxy. Middleton sees in this a unique spiritual gift for Anglicanism, bringing the inspiration of Orthodox Christianity into the Western tradition.

Separatist Christianity
Spirit and Matter in the Early Church Fathers
David A Lopez
Anti-Roman sentiment was ubiquitous among 2nd- and 3rd-century Christian writers, who advocated complete separation from pagan society and imperial authority.

In a cultural rather than theological study of a story that has exerted a powerful hold over the Western imagination, Gary Waller uses a variety of approaches to trace the history of the multiple stories of the Annunciation, from its late insertion into the Gospel of Luke and its elevation as the initiating historical event of Christian revelation, down to the Enlightenment.

Conversion in Late Antiquity
Christianity, Islam, and Beyond
Ed. Arietta Papaconstantinou;Neil McLynn;Daniel L Schwartz
Originally presented at the Mellon-Sawyer Seminar in Oxford, 2009-2010, these 15 papers offer a new comparative study of conversion: to Christianity, traditionally seen as a spiritual; to Islam, widely thought of as implemented ‘by the sword’; and to Buddhism. The study examines the principles of conversion, how it was handled by the state, ‘human ambiguities’, and symbols and institutionalization, with a final chapter on the effect of religious change on Jerusalem.

The Great Church Crisis and the End of English Erastianism

Bethany Kilcrease
Bethany Kilcrease traces the course of the ‘Church Crisis’, the conflict between the Protestant and Ritualistic (or ‘Catholic’) Parties, and alarm about the growth of Anglo-Catholicism within the Church of England. She identifies three developments that contributed to the sense of ‘crisis’: the publication of Walter Walsh’s Secret History of the Oxford Movement in 1897; the 1898 anti-Ritualist protests of John Kensit; and Sir William Harcourt’s parliamentary speeches against Ritualism.

British Hymn Books for Children, 1800–1900

Alisa Clapp-Itnyre
In the first work to tackle this facet of children’s history, Clapp-Itnyre examines how hymn singing and the reading of hymns were an integral part of Victorian childhood experience, and she describes how hymn-book production for the young intersected with the major aesthetic movements of the 19th century. The unique qualities of children’s hymnody, she argues, were the context for empowerment of the child over the course of the century. Ashgate Studies in Childhood, 1700 to the Present.

The King and the Catholics
The Fight for Rights 1829
Antonia Fraser

This narrative history charts the struggles that brought about that conclusion. It profiles the key players, including George III, a staunch opponent of emancipation; the political rivals Wellington and Peel; and the Irish campaigner Daniel O’Connell; and examines the conflict between the right to practise one’s religion and allegiance to the state.

Pensées

Fragments written in preparation for a defence of Christianity, unfinished at Pascal’s death in 1669 and published posthumously in 1669, Pensées has since been regarded as a masterpiece of French prose as well as a great work of philosophy and theology. Among the ‘Thoughts’ is the famous ‘wager’ argument for the rationality of believing in God that draws on another of Pascal’s works of genius, the theory of probability. Pensées is read, unabridged and in English, by Peter Wickham.

The Minister and the Murderer
A Book of Aftermaths
Stuart Kelly
Should a self-confessed murderer be allowed to become a priest? In 1984 the Church of Scotland wrestled with this question when James Nelson, who had served a prison sentence for killing his mother, applied for ordination as a minister. Kelly uses this case as the starting-point for a history of the Church in Scotland, which also combines personal memoir, true-crime narrative and an exegesis of biblical and literary accounts of sin and forgiveness.
