The Craft of Ritual Studies
2013 || Paperback || Ronald L. Grimes || Oxford University Press
In religious studies, theory and method research has long been embroiled in a polarized debate over scientific versus theological perspectives. Ronald L. Grimes shows that this debate has stagnated, due in part to a manner of theorizing too far removed from the study of actual religious practices.
A worthwhile theory, according to Grimes, must be practice-oriented, and practices are most effectively studied by field research methods. The Craft of Ritual Studies melds together a systematic the...

Ritual
Perspectives and Dimensions
2010 || Paperback || Catherine Bell || Oxford University Press
From handshakes and toasts to chant and genuflection, ritual pervades our social interactions and religious practices. Still, few of us could identify all of our daily and festal ritual behaviors, much less explain them to an outsider. Similarly, because of the variety of activities that qualify as ritual and their many contradictory yet, in many ways, equally legitimate interpretations, ritual seems to elude any systematic historical and comparative scrutiny.
In this book, Catherine Bell off...

An Introduction to Contemporary Theologies
2009 || Paperback || Gregory C. Higgins || 1517 Media
One of the best ways of introducing theology is through direct student engagement with the most exciting works of contemporary religious reflection.

Avicenna
2010 || Paperback || Jon McGinnis || OUP USA
Ibn Sina - Avicenna in Latin - (980-1037) played a considerable role in the development of both eastern and western philosophy and science. His contributions to the fields of logic, natural science, psychology, metaphysics and theology and even medicine are difficult to overstate. The great Islamic philosopher al-Ghazali thought that if one could show the incoherence of Avicenna's thought, then one would have shown the incoherence of philosophy in general.
