- catalog abstract "The past few years have seen a growing tendency by political and religious leaders to invent a homogeneous past--a golden age of perfect consensus on values and morals. Martin Marty shows that such a golden age never existed. In his exploration of religious diversity in the United States from the colonial past to the present, Marty takes seriously the fragile character and modest promise of American pluralism. He reveals how the vitality of the American experience has always depended on the fact that values and morals are generated in subcultures and worked out in a common society.".

- catalog abstract ""Dialogue" is one of American religion's shopworn terms. Although there is much talk about dialogue, very little of it actually takes place. Religious discourse -- especially about politics and public affairs -- is increasingly polarized; there is much contestation, but little conversation. If truths are to be tested, however, there is no substitute for dialogue. Arising out of conferences sponsored by the Center on Religion & Society in New York City, the Encounter Series presents the dialogue of a diverse group of theologians, ethicists, philosophers, and public policy experts from across the political and religious spectrum. - Back cover.".
- catalog abstract "In 1963, the 23rd American Assembly issued a report calling attention to the rapid population growth in the underdeveloped world and concluded that such growth would asversely affect efforts to improve economic and social conditions in developing countries. The report called for significant and systematic American support for family planning and other population control measures in the Third World. This book is a response to the 1984 UN Conference on Population, which changed US policy and stated that "population growth is, of itself, a neutral phenomenon." The 1986 meeting of the 71st American Assembly brought together distinguished Americans from various sectors of our society to determine where the facts lead in the dispute about the relationship of population growth to economic development. Chapter titles include: 1) The World Demographic Situation, 2) Are the Economic Consequences of Population Growth a Sound Basis for Population Policy?, 3) Population trends and Economic Development, 4) The transition in Reproductive Behavior in the Third World, 5) Intersections: Immigration and Demographic Change and Their Impact on the United States, 6) Family Planning Programs, and 7) Population Policy: Choices for the United States.".

- catalog abstract "This book is the ideal introduction to the thought of Mikhail Bakhtin. Bakhtin is becoming established as one of the giants of 20th century literary criticsm, despite his work being unknown in the West until the 1970's. This book is less about Dostoyevsky per se, rather a profound meditation on how Dostoyevsky's art exemplifies the central concern of Bakhtin, the concept of 'dialogism'. This idea defies a simple definition; the book in exploring manifold aspects of it, itself becomes truly dialogic. If you value Dostoyevsky as an artist, require an antidote to the chill winds of modern 'Theory', or simply appreciate genius at work, catch up with one of the best kept secrets in literature.".

Rodeo is, in fact, a rite that not only expresses a way of life but perpetuates it, reaffirming in a ritual contest between man and animal the values of American ranching society. Elizabeth Atwood Lawrence use an interpretive approach to analyze rodeo as a symbolic pageant that reenacts the 'winning of the West' and as a stylized expression of frontier attitudes toward man and nature. Rodeo contestant are the modern counterparts of the rugged and individualistic cowboys, and the ethos they inherited is marked by ambivalence: they admire the wild and the free yet desire to tame and conquer. Based on extensive field work and drawing on comparative materials from other stock-tending societies, Rodeo is a major contribution to an understanding of the role of performance in society, the culturally constructed view of man's place in nature, and the structure and meaning of social relationships and their representations" -- Back cover.".
- catalog abstract ""Although evangelicals enjoyed respect and leadership in American society in the decades before the Civil War, their fortunes declined precipitately in the wake of the industrialism, modernism, and secularism of the next half-century. By the 1920s evangelicals felt like an embattled minority within a largely unbelieving culture, and perceived that history was very much out of their control. Doughlas W. Frank examines the spiritual significance of these events by placing them against a biblical understand of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He sees in the confidence and self-congratulation of the turn-of-the-century evangelicals a portrait of the spiritually rich of the Bible who must lose their riches before they can come to know God truly. Frank discusses in detail three of the most popular responses of American evangelicals to their loss of power: dispensational premillenialism the "victorious life" theology, and the popular revivalism of Billy Sunday. Each of these, he believes, betrayed a harmful misuse of the gospel." -- Book cover.".

A final chapter explores the problematic relation of the book to the genre of the novel.".
- catalog abstract ""Ozment does a wonderful job of showing that the story of the Reformation does NOT begin with the posting of the 95 theses in 1517. Rather, the events of the 1500s were the culmination of a centuries-old search for truth. Ozment's account of the Reformation as something unfolding out of the Middle Ages is much more instructive than the standard view, which treats the Reformation as a starting point for this or that development. This book grounds Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, and Ignatius firmly in the tradition of medieval scholastic, mystic, and ecclesio-political thought, as well as Renaissance humanism. Additional chapters are devoted to clerical marriage and resistance to tyranny, two legacies of Protestantism that Ozment finds particularly compelling. To top it off, the author has obviously done his homework; every significant interpretation by previous scholars receives due note here"--Amazon.com.".
- catalog abstract ""The Puritian victory in the English Civil War occasioned a relgious as well as a political revolution. Freed from the restraints of the Anglican faith, the country erupted into a multitude of new sects and religious persuasions threatening religious anarchy ... From the muddle of beliefs, many individuals came to prominence. Some were branded lunatics, self-appointed messiahs ... Others were thoughtful men, dedicated to the search for religious truth and destined to establish lasting movements, as the founders of Quakerism, one of the few sects of the period which survived ... The Quakers, or the Society of Friends, grew out of the turmoil of the interregnum beginning with the ministry of George Fox, cobber turned itinerant preacher, in 1647 ... James Nayler was an early adherent of the Quaker movement in which he soon gained a prominence second only to the acknowledged founder, George Fox. His preaching and publishing activities were of paramount importance to the early growth of the movement, and events in his later career, particularly those culminating in his trial by the Second Protectorate Parliament, are among the most widely celebrated, and most often misinterpreted, in early Quaker history. His significance reaches both the religious and constitutional history of the period"--P. 1-2.".

In reality, they championed the traditional balance of social and political forces in France." -- Page 2 of cover.".
- catalog abstract "This is the most comprehensive volume of Walt Whitman (1819-1892) ever published. It includes all of his poetry and what he considered his complete prose. This is also the only collection that includes, in exactly the form in which it appeared in 1855, the first edition of Leaves of Grass. This was the book, a commercial failure, that prompted Emerson's famous message to Whitman: "I greet you at the beginning of a great career". These twelve poems, including what were later to be entitled "Song of Myself" and "I Sing the Body Electric", and a preface announcing the author's poetic theories, were the first stage of a massive, lifelong work. Six editions and some thirty-seven years later Leaves of Grass had become one of the central volumes in the history of world poetry. Each edition involved revisions of earlier poems and the incorporation of new ones. In 1856, for example, he added such poems as "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" and "Spontaneous Me"; in the third edition (1860) "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking" and two new sections, "Calamus" and "Children of Adam". In the fourth (1867) he incorporated the Civil War poems published a few years earlier as Drum-Taps and Sequel to Drum-Taps, including the poems on the death of Lincoln, notably "When Lilacs Last in the Door Yard Bloom'd." And so it went, a triumphant progress, hailed by Emerson, Thoreau, Rossetti and others, but also, as with the sixth edition in 1881-82, beset by charges of obscenity for such poems as "A Woman Waits for Me." Printed here is the final, the great culminating edition of 1891-92, the last supervised by Whitman himself just before his death. Whitman's prose is no less extraordinary. Specimen Days and Collect (1882) includes reminiscences of nineteenth-century New York City that will fascinate readers in the twentieth, notes on the Civil War, especially his service in Washington hospitals, and trenchant comments on books and authors. Democratic Vistas (1871), in its attacks on the misuses of national wealth after the Civil War, is relevant to conditions in our own time, and November Boughs (1888) brings together retrospective prefaces, opinions, random autobiographical bits that are in effect an extended epilogue on Whitman's life, works, and times. Here it all is, the complete Whitman-elegiac, comic, furtive, outrageous-the most innovative and original of American authors.".

- catalog abstract ""This book includes the nine scribbler-notebooks that were published by Oxford in 1947 ; these have been considerably updated and annotated to correct the identification of stories developed by James from his various notes and to reveal many noted Victorians James concealed through the use of their initials. Certain omitted portions of the notebooks have also been restored. This volume is especially noteworthy for the body of new material (over 20,000 words) that it contains. It includes a series of James's pocket diaries in which, amid appointments and luncheon dates, he jotted down observations and ideas for his fiction and commented on his personal relations. Also here are some fugitive dictated notes, in which James offered an autobiographical meditation on the "turning point" in his life and the "working out" of a story based on a passion murder by the American acquaintance in the south of France. James's long out-of-print statements for his unfinished novels The Ivory Tower and The Sense of the Past, scenarios for unfinished plays, the writer's deathbed dictation - all these are here as well. Also included is a long outline of The Ambassadors and jacket cover notes that are now identified as James's own writing. An appendix contains a substantial, and previously unpublished, fragment of Hugh Merrow, a story he never completed, and the book even provides insight into James's "cash accounts". Everywhere throughout the collection, in writings never intended for the public eye, the artist is seen at work. His private prayers to his Good Angel and exhortations to himself make exhilarating reading."--Inside jacket cover.".
