Depuis des décennies, Gabriel Ringlet travaille à "ré-enchanter les rites" . Il invite à ses célébrations, celles de la semaine sainte en particulier, des témoins issus de tous les horizons et de toutes les convictions. Dans ce livre étonnant, il nous confie comment des romanciers, poètes, chanteurs, cinéastes et artistes se sont prêtés au jeu de ces liturgies hors des sentiers battus. Il fait aussi mémoire de célébrations plus intimes, avec quelques proches, dans une chambre d'hôpital ou autour d'un berceau, et il ajoute qu'aujourd'hui plus que jamais chacun peut être appelé à célébrer. Bien entendu, la parole partagée peut n'être pas "religieuse" car, croyants ou incroyants, "nous avons autant besoin de rites que de pain" , dit encore Gabriel Ringlet. Alors, en certaines situations, il se fait célébrant au sens large, trouvant les mots adéquats, les gestes, les musiques, les symboles, les personnages de cette intrigue de la vie qui est à raconter. Riche de moments inoubliables, cet éloge de la célébration nous invite à redonner sens, sel et rythme à l'existence.

Matthew Thiessen offers a nuanced and wide-ranging study of the nature of Jewish thought on Jewishness, circumcision, and conversion. Examining texts from the Hebrew Bible, Second Temple Judaism, and early Christianity, he gives a compelling account of the various forms of Judaism from which the early Christian movement arose.Beginning with analysis of the Hebrew Bible, Thiessen argues that there is no evidence that circumcision was considered to be a rite of conversion to Israelite religion. In fact, circumcision, particularly the infant circumcision practiced within Israelite and early Jewish society, excluded from the covenant those not properly descended from Abraham. In the Second Temple period, many Jews began to subscribe to a definition of Jewishness that enabled Gentiles to become Jews. Other Jews, such as the author of Jubilees, found this definition problematic, reasserting a strictly genealogical conception of Jewish identity. As a result, some Gentiles who underwent conversion to Judaism in this period faced criticism because of their suspect genealogy.Thiessen's examination of the way in which Jews in the Second Temple period perceived circumcision and conversion allows a deeper understanding of early Christianity. Contesting Conversion shows that careful attention to a definition of Jewishness that was based on genealogical descent has crucial implications for understanding the variegated nature of early Christian mission to the Gentiles in the first century C.E.

Back cover: Die kostspielige Aufwendung von Resourcen zur Totenbestattung hat eine lange Tradition in der Begräbniskultu Chinas. Ebenso lang ist aber auch die Geschichte der Kritik gegenüber solch kostspieligen Bestattungspraktiken. Die vorliegende Arbeit zeichnet Kontinuität und Wandel von Praxis und Kritik nach und analysiert sowohl im Kontext der religionspolitischen Entwicklungen Chinas als auch der religionswissenschaftlichen Theoriebildung.

Women, Rites, and Ritual Objects in Premodern Japan , edited by Karen M. Gerhart, is a multidisciplinary examination of rituals featuring women, in which significant attention is paid to objects produced for and utilized in these rites as a lens through which larger cultural concerns, such as gender politics, the female body, and the materiality of the ritual objects, are explored. The ten chapters encounter women, rites, and ritual objects in many new and interactive ways and constitute a pioneering attempt to combine ritual and gendered analysis with the study of objects. Contributors include: Anna Andreeva, Monica Bethe, Patricia Fister, Sherry Fowler, Karen M. Gerhart, Hank Glassman, Naoko Gunji, Elizabeth Morrissey, Chari Pradel, Barbara Ruch, Elizabeth Self.
