Letter from the Religion Editor:
Friends, colleagues, authors, scholars of religion, and beyond: Greetings, with a special hello to those attending AAR/SBL in person! It’s nice to see you here. It’s that time of the year when we introduce our new titles for 2022-2023. Our just-off-the-press catalog showcases new books in philosophy of religions; Middle Eastern, South Asian, and East Asian traditions; American religions; science; politics; ethics—all reflecting innovative, field-transforming scholarship. Perhaps no book could be more timely than Judith Butler’s What World Is This? Butler argues that the pandemic has challenged our very senses, and our idea of an individual self; she invites us to enter a world of essential interrelationship and to fight for a radical social equality. Equally relevant, Michele Moody-Adams’s Making Space for Justice, argues that progressive social movements, from nineteenth-century abolitionism to the civil rights era to Black Lives Matter, were agents of revolutionary change not only through political activism but also through deep moral questioning of what justice means. Also addressing social justice issues in the United States, Terrence Johnson’s We Testify with Our Lives argues that the Black radical tradition always has been greatly influenced by Black religion. A completely different facet of the American religious landscape is depicted in William Jankowiak’s Illicit Monogamy: a Mormon polygamous community where, perhaps counterintuitively, both women and men often yearn for monogamous relationships–and conduct them in secret. And in evangelical Christianity, Katie Gaddini's The Struggle to Stay provides an intimate portrait of single women’s fraught experiences in a patriarchal church. In the provocative area of religion and science, Critical Approaches to Science and Religion, a major theoretical and methodological intervention edited by Myrna Perez Sheldon, Ahmed Ragab, and Terence Keel, integrates critical race, feminist, queer, and postcolonial theory. Great Minds Don’t Think Alike, edited by Marcelo Gleiser, features prominent scholars in dialogue on issues ranging from consciousness to faith, immortality, and the human. Ethics in Action for Sustainable Development, with a foreword by Pope Francis and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, enlists an interfaith cohort of religious leaders and scholars to provide an ethical consensus in support of sustainability efforts. And A Global History of Buddhism and Medicine by C. Pierce Salguero complements his two ground-breaking anthologies, Buddhism and Medicine, covering premodern and modern and contemporary sources. In theory and philosophy of religion, G. William Barnard, an initiated elder of the Santo Daime tradition, invites us into its ayahuasca-based rituals in Liquid Light. Sister Death by Beatrice Marovich shows that death and life are not opposing forces but family. Clayton Crockett, in a tour de force of cosmotheology, Energy and Change, unites physics, biology, ecology, politics, and religion with new materialisms. And, in A Cultural History of the Soul, Kocku von Stuckrad reveals the trajectory of a concept in the twentieth century as it crossed the Atlantic from Germany to the wilds of the California New Age. We have an extraordinary range of new work in Middle Eastern and Asian religious traditions. Wives and Work by Marion Holmes Katz explores the dialogue between classical Islamic law and ethics as it relates to the duties of married women. Ahmad Agbaria, in The Politics of Arab Authenticity, gives voice to the debates between modernist and postcolonial thinkers in the 1970s, explaining why so many turned to tradition. Searching for the Body by Rae Dachille brilliantly integrates Tibetan Buddhist tantra and contemporary theories of embodiment. Matthew W. King rewrites the history of Faxian’s Record of Buddhist Kingdoms as it traveled from China to Europe and back to Inner Asia in In the Forest of the Blind. Sonam Kachru breathtakingly explores the global philosophical import of Vasubandhu’s The Twenty Verses, arguably the first account of enactivism in any tradition, in Other Lives. And Richard John Lynn has given us a major new translation of Zhuangzi. Several of your favorites are now in paperback for the first time, and there are so many exciting titles that I haven’t had time to mention—genre bending, disciplinary borders breaking, style expanding. Our authors are challenging conventions and reimagining what religious studies can be in every direction. They and I invite you to accompany them on their journeys of discovery—and to continue the dialogue. Wendy Lochner

Judith Butler shows how COVID-19 and all its consequences—political, social, ecological, economic—have challenged us to reconsider the sense of the world that such disasters bring about. Criticizing notions of unlimited personal liberty and the killing forces of racism, sexism, and classism, this book suggests that the pandemic illuminates the potential of shared vulnerabilities as well as the injustice of pervasive inequalities. $17.95 / £14.99 paper 978-0-231-20829-1 $80.00 / £62.00 cloth 978-0-231-20828-4 November 2022 144 pages
Making Space for Justice

Michele Moody-Adams

Edited by Elizabeth Shakman Hurd and Winnifred Fallers Sullivan

In the Land of Tigers and Snakes
Conjuring the Buddha Ritual Manuals in Early Tantric Buddhism
Living with Animals in Medieval Chinese Religions
Jacob P. Dalton
Huaiyu Chen
Huaiyu Chen examines how Buddhist ideas about animals changed and were changed by medieval Chinese culture. He explores the entangled relations among animals, religions, the state, and local communities, considering both the multivalent meanings associated with animals and the daily experience of living with the natural world.
Jacob P. Dalton offers a history of early tantric Buddhist ritual through the lens of the Tibetan manuscripts discovered near Dunhuang on the ancient Silk Road. He argues that the spread of ritual manuals offered Buddhists an extracanonical literary form through which to engage with their tradition in new and locally specific ways.

The Dalai Lama’s Special Envoy
Searching for the Body A Contemporary Perspective on Tibetan Buddhist Tantra
Memoirs of a Lifetime in Pursuit of a Reunited Tibet
Rae Erin Dachille
Lodi Gyaltsen Gyari
Lodi Gyaltsen Gyari spent decades striving for resolution of the Tibetan-Chinese conflict. He was the Dalai Lama’s special envoy and chief negotiator with the People’s Republic of China in the formal negotiations over the status of Tibet. In this revealing memoir, Gyari chronicles his lifetime of service to the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan cause.
In the early fifteenth century, two Tibetan monks debated how to transform the body ritually into a celestial palace inhabited by buddhas. Searching for the Body demonstrates the significance of this debate for understandings of Tibetan Buddhism as well as conversations on representation and embodiment occurring across the disciplines today.

Buddhist Historiography in China
Common Ground Tibetan Buddhist Expansion and Qing China’s Inner Asia
John Kieschnick
Lan Wu
John Kieschnick provides an innovative, expansive account of how Chinese Buddhists have sought to understand their history through a Buddhist lens. Exploring a series of themes in mainstream Buddhist historiographical works from the fifth to the twentieth century, he looks for what they tell us about their compilers’ understanding of history.
Lan Wu analyzes how Tibetan Buddhists and the Qing imperial rulers interacted and negotiated as both sought strategies to extend their influence in eighteenth-century Inner Asia. Revealing the interdependency of two expanding powers, Common Ground recasts the entangled histories of political, social, and cultural ties between Tibet and China.

Zhuangzi
Zhu Xi
A New Translation of the Sayings of Master Zhuang as Interpreted by Guo Xiang
Basic Teachings
Translated by Daniel K. Gardner
Translated by Richard John Lynn
The earliest and most influential commentary on the Zhuangzi is that of Guo Xiang (265–312). Richard John Lynn’s translation of the Zhuangzi is the first to follow Guo’s commentary in its interpretive choices. Its guiding principle is how Guo read the text, which allows for the full integration of the Zhuangzi with the commentary.
Zhu Xi (1130–1200) was the preeminent Confucian thinker of the Song dynasty. This book presents the essential teachings of the new Confucian (“Neo-Confucian”) philosophical system that he forged. Daniel K. Gardner’s translation renders these discussions and sayings in an accessible, conversational style.

Political Theologies for Living and Dying
A New Materialist Cosmotheology
Drawing on a wide range of sources—from Toni Morrison to Derrida to grassroots “death positive” movements—Beatrice Marovich critiques a political theology that pits life and death against each other in a state of endless war. Adapting the figure of “Sister Death” from Saint Francis, she calls for recognizing that life and death are family.
Clayton Crockett offers an innovative philosophy of energy that cuts across a number of leadingedge disciplines. Drawing from contemporary philosophies of new materialism, non-Western traditions, and the sciences, he develops a comprehensive vision of energy as a material process spanning physics, biology, politics, ecology, and religion.

Dostoyevsky, or the Flood of Language
The Shape of Sex
Nonbinary Gender from Genesis to the Renaissance
Julia Kristeva
Leah DeVun
Translated by Jody Gladding. Foreword by Rowan Williams.
The Shape of Sex is a pathbreaking history of nonbinary sex, focusing on ideas and individuals who allegedly combined or crossed sex or gender categories from 200–1400 C.E. Ranging widely across premodern European thought and culture, Leah DeVun reveals how and why efforts to define “the human” so often hinged on ideas about nonbinary sex.
Julia Kristeva embarks on a wide-ranging and stimulating inquiry into Dostoyevsky’s work and the profound ways it has influenced her own thinking. Reading across his major novels and shorter works, Kristeva offers incandescent insights into the potent themes that draw her back to the Russian master.

Mary-Jane Rubenstein provides a conceptual genealogy of pantheisms. What makes pantheism “monstrous”—at once repellent and seductive—is that it scrambles the raced and gendered distinctions that Western philosophy and theology insist on drawing between activity and passivity, spirit and matter, animacy and inanimacy, and creator and created. $26.00 / £20.00 paper 978-0-231-18947-7 $37.00 / £30.00 cloth 978-0-231-18946-0 2021 320 pages

Barbary Captives
The Russian Orthodox Church and Modernity
An Anthology of Early Modern Slave Memoirs by Europeans in North Africa
A Historical and Theological Investigation into Eastern Christianity between Unity and Plurality
Edited by Mario Klarer
Regina Elsner
In the early modern period, hundreds of thousands of Europeans, both men and women, were abducted by pirates, sold on the slave market, and enslaved in North Africa. Barbary Captives brings together a selection of early modern slave narratives in English translation for the first time.
The Russian Orthodox Church has faced various iterations of modernization throughout its history. This study examines the historical development of the Church’s arguments against—and sometimes preferences for— modernization and analyzes which positions ended up influencing the official doctrine.

Rachel Fulton Brown
Rachel Fulton Brown traces the history of the medieval practice of praising Mary through the complex of prayers known as the Hours of the Virgin. More than just a work of comprehensive historical scholarship, Mary and the Art of Prayer crosses the boundaries that modern scholars typically place between observation and experience, between the world of provable facts and the world of imagination, suggesting what it would have been like for medieval Christians to encounter Mary in prayer. $35.00 / £30.00 paper 978-0-231-18169-3 2019 656 pages 25 illus.

The Femininity Puzzle
Queer Jewish Lives Between Central Europe and Mandatory Palestine
Gender, Orientalism and the“Jewish Other” Ulrike Brunotte
Biographies and Geographies, 1870–1960 Edited by Andreas Kraß, Moshe Sluhovsky, and Yuval Yonay
The “femininity puzzle” presents itself in two ways: first in the role of effeminization of the male Jew in antisemitic discourse, and then in the transgressive forms of femininity connected to Jewish women, especially the allosemitic Orientalization in the figure of the “Beautiful Jewess.”
This volume offers the first collection of studies on queer Jewish lives between Central Europe and Mandatory Palestine (1870–1960). The first section of the book presents queer geographies including Germany, Austria, and Palestine, and the second introduces queer biographies between Europe and Palestine.

Jewish-Ukrainian Relations in Late and Post-Soviet Ukraine
Articles, Lectures and Essays from 1986 to 2016 Aleksandr Burakovskiy

Of particular concern in Ukraine was the relations between Jews and Ukrainians. In this volume, the author, an activist during this transitional period, offers an overview of the hopes of the Ukrainian and Jewish intellectual elite, as well as the complicated reality and disappointments that thwarted these hopes.

Michael Francis Laffan
Muslim Lives and Loyalties Across the Indian Ocean World, 1775–1945
A History of the Mongols from Chinggis Khan to the Qing Dynasty
Translated by Johan Elverskog
The Precious Summary is the most important work of Mongolian history on the threehundred-year period before the rise of the Manchu Qing dynasty. Written by Sagang Sechen in 1662, shortly after the Mongols’ submission to the Qing, it spans Buddhist cosmology, Chinggis Khan, the post-Yuan Mongols, and the Mongols’ conversion to Buddhism.
Michael Francis Laffan offers a sweeping exploration of two centuries of interactions among Muslim subjects of empires and nationstates around the Indian Ocean world. He traces interlinked lives and journeys, examining engagements with Western, Islamic, and panAsian imperial formations to consider the possibilities for Muslims in an imperial age.

Guangtian Ha
Edited by A. Azfar Moin and Alan Strathern
Sacred kingship has been the core political form, in small-scale societies and in vast empires, for much of world history. This collaborative and interdisciplinary book recasts the relationship between religion and politics by exploring this institution in long-term and global comparative perspective.
The Jahriyya Sufis—a primarily Sinophone order in northwest China—inhabit a unique religious soundscape. The first ethnography of this order in any language, The Sound of Salvation draws on nearly a decade of fieldwork to reveal the intricacies and importance of Jahriyya vocal recitation.

Yuhang Li
Onaje X. O. Woodbine
Ms. Donna Haskins is an African American woman who wrestles with structural inequity in the streets of Boston by inhabiting an alternate dimension she refers to as the “spirit realm.” Both ethnographic and personal, Onaje X. O. Woodbine’s portrait of her spiritual life sheds new light on the lived religion of the dispossessed.
Yuhang Li examines how lay Buddhist women in late imperial China forged a connection with the subject of their devotion, arguing that women used their own bodies to echo that of Guanyin. She combines empirical research with theoretical insights from both art history and Buddhist studies.

Stratton presents an innovative approach to understanding ancient depictions and accusations of magic as forms of discourse, examining their role in struggles to define legitimate power and authority. She traces “magic discourse” from Classical Greece to the Babylonian Talmud, illuminating powerful stereotypes of sorcery and witches.

When the State Winks traces the performance of state-endorsed Orthodox conversion in Israel.

Leor Halevi tells the story of the Islamic trials of technological and commercial innovations of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Shedding light on culture, commerce, and consumption in Cairo and other colonial cities, Modern Things on Trial is a groundbreaking account of Islam’s material transformation in a globalizing era.
