Enfleshing Theology
“[This volume] is a tribute to the theological scholarship of Copeland, a pioneer in Catholic womanist theology. Capturing the scope of this towering voice is a challenge, but the editors and contributors provide an excellent glimpse into the critical features of Copeland’s insights.” - Darrius Hills
Identity, Politics and the Study of Islam
“The volume by Sheedy is an important, intriguing and welcome analysis of what is at stake in the Western study of Islam. I only hope that such approaches will be echoed and analyzed (and not marginalized) in other Muslim societies where the study of Islam still largely takes place in a vacuum.” – Majid Daneshgar
Faking Liberties
“Historians of religious freedom spend hours tracking such disappointments and failures. And yet we still find hope when the subjects of our histories did not: hope to steer around a complicity we admit is inevitable, hope that our categories will build a better world, even if we can’t or don’t articulate how. Faking Liberties prompts acute reflection on these issues.” - Lucia Hulsether
Magic, Monsters, and Make-Believe Heroes
“Overall, this is a very fun, provocative book that I recommend heartily for scholars interested in film, popular culture, and theories of magic. It tackles a humungous topic with great verve, good humor, and strong insight. . . . Cowan’s writing style will be a hit with students, as it tackles tough topics like mythmaking, magic, and the meaning of “religion” in an approachable way.” - Andrew T. Coates
Religion in the Kitchen
“With [this book], Elizabeth Pérez offers a richly detailed ethnography of a community of black Chicagoans who as adults embraced Lucumí, an adaptation of West African Yoruba created under Spanish rule in Cuba. [She] makes a valuable contribution of ethnographic description and analysis of an understudied aspect of African American religion: African Americans who, raised in the United States within Christian traditions, embrace Afro-Caribbean traditions. . . .” - Kevin Stewart Rose
