"Robert Vivian's prose is lyrical and harrowing-harrowing in the Biblical sense," Sven Birkerts said of The Mover of Bones, the first book in Vivian's Tall Grass Trilogy. That same lyrical power carries this new volume to a place of hard-won hope and redemption at once both spiritual and earthly. Lamb Bright Saviors begins as an apocalyptically inclined itinerant preacher staggers across the Nebraska prairie. With his young assistant, Mady, in tow hauling a wagon stacked with bibles, it's not long before the preacher finds he's come to the final fulfillment of his self-proclaimed life's work:

This is a timely book on the contemporary African priesthood. Just as in other parts of the globe, the African priesthood currently faces a serious crisis of identity. The unfolding crisis puts stress on the clerics and augments the tension with lay people. The model of the Church-as-Family of God opted for by the Church in Africa is a new milestone that puts pressure on Catholic priests to define their role in the new context. The identity and image of priests need to be specified as lay ministries render the Church active from the grassroots. Reflection about the ministry of the clergy in Af

"Dahui's Letters is a compilation of letters of the Linji Chan teacher Dahui Zonggao (大慧宗杲; 1089-1163) to forty scholar-officials and two Chan masters. Each of the letters to laymen is fascinating as a document directed at a specific scholar-official with his distinctive social niche and relative level of spiritual development. Dahui's style of practice became dominant throughout East Asia"-- Provided by publisher.

Religion plays a central role in nearly every aspect in people's life of most pre-modern cultures. Especially the interconnection between religion and politics is a common fact but the details of this relation and interacting processes behind this are not substantially studied. Therefore, this volume does not aim to confirm the linkage of religion and politics in general but to investigate its functionalities in political processes. A focus is placed on the political role of religious personnel beyond their religious and cultic tasks and their influence in pre-modern societies from a cross-cultural perspective. Specialists from various disciplines present their research based on case studies. Thereby this interdisciplinary volume covers a wide geographical and chronological range from ancient Egypt in the Bronze Age until medieval England. These papers are organised according to core functions questioning the instrumentalisation of religious personnel.

Hindouisme, bouddhisme, chamanisme coexistent en Himalaya. Loin de se juxtaposer simplement, ces mondes religieux s’influencent. De cette complexité, les prêtres sont le témoignage. Comment se situent-ils par rapport à la tradition dont ils se réclament ? De quelle nature sont leurs pouvoirs ? Sur quel héritage s’ancre leur autorité ? Comment se partagent-ils le champ du sacré ? Ces questions sont soulevées ici à propos de plusieurs populations représentatives de la variété ethnique et culturelle de l’arc himalayen. Derrière la diversité des solutions qu’elles reçoivent, un fonds commun, une dimension autochtone, dominés par les divinités maîtresses du sol et les forces maléfiques, se laissent percevoir.
