History The City of the Mormons, by Henry Caswall (1842). Henry Caswall (1810-1870) was among the earliest Anglican observers of the growth of Mormonism in 19th-century America. In this volume, based on a visit to Nauvoo, Illinois, Caswall combines a critical first-hand account of the nascent religion with an impassioned plea for his readers to assist missionary Bishop Jackson Kemper, in whose vast frontier diocese much of the early growth of Mormonism took place. Parochial Sermons, from The Posthumous Works of the Late Right Reverend John Henry Hobart, D.D., Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the State of New-York (1832). John Henry Hobart (1775-1830) was the third Bishop of New York; he is commemorated by the Episcopal Church on September 12. This substantial collection of forty parochial sermons constitutes the third volume of his posthumous Works. Letters

Noting Darfur: The Ambiguous Genocide, by Gérard Prunier, is reviewed in the Tablet by James Roberts. 'One of the little-noticed effects of the Asian tsunami of last December was that it ended the Darfur famine. A humanitarian crisis that had dominated print and broadcast media for most of that year suddenly evaporated from the face of the earth, at least the part of the earth that is on camera. We are talking media reality here, of course, not reality per se. But as Gérard Prunier observes towards the end of this excellent and authoritative analysis of the continuing Darfur catastrophe, we live in a time when things are not seen as they are, but "in their capacity to create brand images, to warrant a 'big story', to mobilise TV time high in rhetoric". The media can only handle one emotion-laden story at a time, Prunier points out, and the tsunami was "much more politically correct" than the suffering of the people of Darfur. In other words, the tsunami tragedy was heavy on emotion and light on actual politics. Not Religious, by Rowan Williams, in the Church Times. 'This is an edited extract from Christian Imagination in Poetry and Polity: Some Anglican voices from Temple to Herbert by Rowan Williams (Fairacres Press, £3.50; 0-7283-0162-8).' Preaching the Bad News: Is the Therapeutic Gospel turning Christ's activists into couch potatoes? Kristina Robb-Dover, writing for the Society of Mutual Autopsy, asks hard questions about ordination processes in the Episcopal Church USA. SOMA, a 'review of religion and culture,' is edited by Episcopalian John D. Spalding. Where is God? Earthquake, Terrorism, Barbarity, and Hope, By Jon Sobrino, is reviewed in the Church Times by Peter Price. Sobrino begins as does Prunier, highlighting how dates and happenings remain in our memories depending on their coverage; however, Sobrino's 'analysis of the earthquakes and other natural tragedies from a Christian perspective make thoughtful and helpful reading, requiring the reader to ask continually, "Where is God?" and "Who do we understand God to be in this situation?" His conclusions are both orthodox and biblical, while being profoundly thought-provoking. He calls for an honesty towards reality; and holds that "the need to let suffering speak is a condition of all truth and theology"'. |

Noting In Quires and Places Where They Sing, by Adrian Leak. A feature article in the Church Times, celebrating 'the quincentenary of the birth of Thomas Tallis, one of the great composers of English church music. As part of that celebration, a BBC Proms concert on Thursday 1 September at 10 p.m. on Radio 3 will feature some of his best-known works.' Meanings of Life, by Alex Wright, is reviewed this week in the Church Times by Simon Jones. 'This is, in some ways, an unconventional sequel to Alex Wright's Why Bother with Theology? The publication of that book, in which theology was told to "get a life", contributed, the author says, to the ending of his job in religious publishing, and to a self-questioning that led to this book.' |
