Reason, Faith, and
Revolution
Reflections on the God Debate
Terry Eagleton
Seasoning his serious book with humor,
Terry Eagleton reexamines God,
Jesus, free will, scientific thought, and
liberalism to arrive at the conclusion
that reason and faith are by no means
mutually exclusive. He offers his own
vibrant account of religion and politics
in a book that ranges from the Holy
Spirit to the recent history of the Middle
East, from Thomas Aquinas to the Twin
Towers.

Natural Reflections
Human Cognition at the Nexus of
Science and Religion
Barbara Herrnstein Smith
In this important and original book,
eminent scholar Barbara Herrnstein
Smith describes, assesses, and reflects
upon a set of contemporary intellectual
projects involving science, religion, and
human cognition. One, which Smith
calls “the New Naturalism,” is the ef-
fort to explain religion on the basis of
cognitive science. Another, which she
calls “the New Natural Theology,” is the
attempt to reconcile natural-scientific
accounts of the world with traditional
religious belief. These two projects,
she suggests, are in many ways mirror
images—or “natural reflections”—of
each other.

Absence of Mind
The Dispelling of Inwardness
from the Modern Myth of the Self
Marilynne Robinson
In this ambitious book, acclaimed writer
Marilynne Robinson applies her astute
intellect to some of the most vexing top-
ics in the history of human thought—
science, religion, and consciousness.
Crafted with the same care and insight
as her award-winning novels, Absence
of Mind challenges postmodern atheists
who crusade against religion under the
banner of science. In Robinson’s view,
scientific reasoning does not denote a
sense of logical infallibility, as thinkers
like Richard Dawkins might suggest.
Instead, in its purest form, science rep-
resents a search for answers. It engages
the problem of knowledge, an aspect
of the mystery of consciousness, rather
than providing a simple and final model
of reality.

Nancy Ellen Abrams and

physicist theorize that a shared picture
of the universe based on modern cos-
mology and biology will offer solutions
to global problems and redefine our
relationship with the Earth.

Sin
A History
Gary A. Anderson
What is sin? Is it simply wrongdoing?
Why do its effects linger over time? In
this sensitive, imaginative, and original
work, Gary Anderson shows how chang-
ing conceptions of sin and forgiveness
lay at the very heart of the biblical
tradition. Spanning nearly two thousand
years, the book brilliantly demonstrates
how sin, once conceived of as a physical
burden, becomes, over time, eclipsed
by economic metaphors. Transformed
from a weight that an individual carried,
sin becomes a debt that must be repaid
in order to be redeemed in God’s eyes.

On Evil
Terry Eagleton
For many enlightened, liberal-minded
thinkers today, and for most on the
political left, evil is an outmoded
concept. It smacks too much of absolute
judgments and metaphysical certainties
to suit the modern age. In this witty,
accessible study, the prominent Marx-
ist thinker Terry Eagleton launches a
surprising defense of the reality of evil,
drawing on literary, theological, and
psychoanalytic sources to suggest that
evil, no mere medieval artifact, is a real
phenomenon with palpable force in our
contemporary world.

The Christian
Imagination
Theology and the Origins of Race
Willie James Jennings
Why has Christianity, a religion
premised upon neighborly love, failed
in its attempts to heal social divisions?
In this ambitious and wide-ranging
work, Willie James Jennings delves deep
into the late medieval soil in which the
modern Christian imagination grew, to
reveal how Christianity’s highly refined
process of socialization has inadvertent-
ly created and maintained segregated
societies.

A New translation with an

Nearly five centuries after Thomas More

concern—religious pluralism, women’s
rights, state-sponsored education,
colonialism, and justified warfare.
Clarence Miller’s new translation of this
foundational text in philosophy and

The Problem of God
Yesterday and Today
John Murray
In an urbane and persuasive tract for
our time, the distinguished Catholic
theologian combines a comprehensive
metaphysics with a sensitivity to con-
temporary existentialist thought. Father
Murray traces the “problem of God”
from its origins in the Old Testament,
through its development in the Chris-
tian Fathers and the definitive statement
by Aquinas, to its denial by modern
materialism. Students and nonspecial-
ist intellectuals may both benefit by the
book, which illuminates the problem
of development of doctrine that is now,
even more than in the days of Newman,
a fundamental issue between Roman
Catholic and Protestant. As a challenge
to the ecumenical dialogue, the question
is raised whether, in the course of its
development through different phases,
the problem of God has come back to its
original position.

 Early Christianity & Ancient Judaism
Cosmos, Chaos and
the World to Come
The Ancient Roots of Apocalyptic
Faith; Second Edition
Norman Cohn
In this engrossing book, the author
of the classic work The Pursuit of the
Millennium investigates the origins of
apocalyptic faith—the belief in a perfect
future, when the forces of good are vic-
torious over the forces of evil. Norman
Cohn takes us back two thousand years
to the world views of ancient Egypt,
Mesopotamia, and India, the innova-
tions of Iranian and Jewish prophets
and sages, and the earliest Christian
imaginings of heaven on earth, and he
illuminates a major turning point in the
history of human consciousness. For
this second edition, the final chapter on
Zoroastrians, Jews, and Christians has
been wholly rewritten and extended.

A New History of
Early Christianity
Charles Freeman
The relevance of Christianity is as hotly
contested today as it has ever been. A
New History of Early Christianity shows
how our current debates are rooted in
the many controversies surrounding
the birth of the religion and the earliest
attempts to resolve them. Charles Free-
man’s meticulous historical account of
Christianity from its birth in Judaea in
the first century A.D. to the emergence
of Western and Eastern churches by
A.D. 600 reveals that it was a distinctive,
vibrant, and incredibly diverse move-
ment brought into order at the cost of
intellectual and spiritual vitality.
