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

Extending their successful series of collections on Zen Buddhism, Heine and Wright present a fifth volume, on what may be the most important topic of all - Zen Masters. Following two volumes on Zen literature (Zen Classics and The Zen Canon) and two volumes on Zen practice (The Koan and Zen Ritual) they now propose a volume on the most significant product of the Zen tradition - the Zen masters who have made this kind of Buddhism the most renowned in the world by emphasizing the role of eminent spiritual leaders and their function in establishing centers, forging lineages, and creating literature and art. Zen masters in China, and later in Korea and Japan, were among the cultural leaders of their times. Stories about their comportment and powers circulated widely throughout East Asia. In this volume ten leading Zen scholars focus on the image of the Zen master as it has been projected over the last millennium by the classic literature of this tradition. Each chapter looks at a single prominent master. Authors assess the master's personality and charisma, his reported behavior and comportment, his relationships with teachers, rivals and disciplines, lines of transmission, primary teachings, the practices he emphasized, sayings and catch-phrases associated with him, his historical and social context, representations and icons, and enduring influences.

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.
