Reviews The Oxford Handbook of English Literature and Theology, edited by Andrews Hass, David Jasper, and Elisabeth Jay. [ED. Linked last week to the Church Times review, this link will take you to additional information from Oxford University Press description.] 'A defining volume of essays in which leading international scholars apply an interdisciplinary approach to the long and evolving relationship between English Literature and Theology.' Rome and Jerusalem: The Clash of Ancient Civilizations, by Martin Goodman, is reviewed by Cally Hammond, also in the Church Times. 'A patient search for answers to a riddle and a mystery surrounding the relationship between two great cities of the ancient Mediterranean — Rome and Jerusalem... First, the riddle. Why was Jerusalem destroyed in AD 70? What happened to turn the Romans into agents of divine displeasure, destroying angels? ... Now for the mystery. Why were the Jews prevented from rebuilding their Temple, when everyone in the ancient world, pagan or Jewish, knew that without a temple Jewish religion could never again be practised in the way that God had ordained?' The Origins of the Scottish Reformation, by Alec Ryrie, is reviewed by Judith Maltby in the Church Times. 'Ryrie argues, in a fascinating chapter, that Scotland’s version of the Counter-Reformation seems to have owed more to older Erasmian and conciliarist traditions than to the energetic and muscular re-branding of Roman Catholicism emerging from Trent, and the new religious orders.' Through the Eye of a Needle: Theological Conversations Over Political Economy, edited by John Atherton and Hannah Skinner, is reviewed with Michel Glautier's The Social Conscience: Can a Caring Society Exist in a Market Economy? Through the Eye of a Needle, also in the Church Times: '“Guilt is no basis for personal or societal revival, contrary to what many preachers still assume,” writes Peter Brain in the foreword. The book tries — he says — to bring the reality of life and the reality of God into the same discussion.' And The Social Conscience: 'The heart of his argument is that society is an extension of the family, and that the Social Conscience, founded on moral values that are common to all beliefs, should be the sovereign authority.'

Noting Learning Curve: L. Gregory Jones writes in the Christian Century (Chicago). 'A commitment to the art of learning invites congregations, judicatories and seminaries to work together to develop criteria for "learning clergy" who have the capacities to cultivate their intelligence through the interplay of creativity, analysis, practical skills and wisdom.' The Young and the Godly: American National Public Radio (Washington DC) has begun a series of radio stories on young clergy, some of whom are Anglicans. |
