Anthropology for Christian Witness $35 “Anthropology for Christian Witness serves as a thorough, basic introduction to the study of anthropology that has been designed specifically for those who plan careers in mission or cross-cultural ministry. The work of Charles H. Kraft, author of the classic Christianity in Culture, and widely acknowledged as one of the foremost Evangelical missionary anthropologists, this new work represents the synthesis of a lifetime of teaching and study. Kraft treats the very basics, including theories of culture and society; an assessment of the various anthropological schools; kinship and family structure, and cross-cultural communication.” |

Cultural Anthropology : Christian Perspective $22.99 “This volume on cultural anthropology by Stephen Grunlan and Marvin Mayers presents precisely what its subtitle indicates, namely, “a Christian perspective.” Stephen Grunlan, who formerly taught at Moody Bible Institute and at St. Paul Bible College, is now senior pastor at the Appleton Alliance Church, Appleton, Wisconsin. He first studied anthropology under Dr. Marvin Mayers at Wheaton College and later was engaged in work among Chicanos in California and the Chicago area. Dr. Mayers engaged sponsorship of the Wycliffe Bible Translators before teaching for nine years at Wheaton College, during which time he also had some field experience in the Philippines. He was director of the program for the Summer Institute of Linguistics in Dallas, Texas, and professor of linguistics at the University of Texas at Arlington for many years. He is currently dean at the School of Intercultural Studies at Biola University. Cultural Anthropology: A Christian Perspective is addressed primarily to Bible school students of conservative evangelical backgrounds, with the hope that a sympathetic approach to the problems of cultural diversity thoughout the world will help young people overcome typical North American cultural biases and make them more able to understand and appreciate the diversitites of behavior and thought that exist in a culturally heterogeneous world. Grunlan and Mayers take the position of “functional creationism”; and though they discuss some of the problems implied in traditional interpretations of the age of the world and especially of the creation of the human race, they do not attempt to deal with either physical anthropology or the origins of man. They do, however, attempt to deal meaningfully with the problems posed by biblical absolutism and cultural relativism, and their practice of concluding chapters with a series of thought-provoking questions should prove to be of real help to the nonprofessional teacher of anthropology, who has been specifically in mind as they prepared this text.” |

Anthropology and Theology $109.95 “Anthropology and Christian Theology have traditionally interpreted religion in quite different ways and have often been thought of as hostile to one another. In fact, a fundamental concern for human experience lies at the heart of both disciplines. This innovative book takes a new look at key anthropological and theological themes, and explores the intricacies of their interplay throughout history and in the present. Sacrifice, embodiment, ritual, incarnation, symbolism, gift and power are all related in ways that shed new light on religious behaviour and belief. Detailed analysis of fundamental Christian rites shows how they help generate emotional meaning and inspire philosophical ideas, and demonstrates how the body serves as a vehicle for religious beliefs. >Through an examination of these issues and much more, Davies reveals how religious rituals help people to become secure in their sense of identity. This accessible foray into new territory is essential reading for anthropologists, theologians, or anyone interested in religion who is seeking new interpretations of familiar themes. >” |

On Human Being: Christian Anthropology in the Conflicts of the Present $18 “ON HUMAN BEING “It is the suffering figure of the crucified Jesus that has brought the pull towards the lowly, unpretentious, but real being of the human] into our hope in the Son of Man. Conversely hope in the Son of Man has brought God’s hope to the really hopeless on this world. What are the results of this for Christian anthropology?” -Jrgen Moltmann “This series of sketches provides a basis for Moltmann’s view of man and woman as socially and politically responsible beings. Moving quickly through biological, cultural, religious, and Christian anthropology, he locates the contemporary problems of humanism in a technological (and inhuman) society. . . . While the future remains central, its features are somewhat sobered in the emphasis on suffering love. -Anne Carr, University of Chicago “Moltmann has made a good contribution . . . with insight to the anxieties of being human] and to the examination of some current images of being human] in the ultimate light of Christian faith. . . . What is needed is a life of reconciliation in the actual world, a life of love and hope which becomes possible because of the crucified Son of Man who has experienced and overcome the terrors of actual existence.” -John E. Smith, Yale University Jrgen Moltmann is one of the most widely read and influential theologians of our time. Professor of Systematic Theology Emeritus in the Protestant Faculty of the University of Tbingen, Germany, Moltmann’s many important and award-winning works include The Crucified God (1974), The Trinity and the Kingdom (1981), and, more recently, Experiences in Theology (2000), Science and Wisdom (2003), In the End-The Beginning: The Life of Hope (2004), and his autobiography, A Broad Place (Fall 2007), all published by Fortress Press.” |

Anthropology Beyond Culture $37.95 “Culture is a vexed concept within anthropology. From their earliest studies, anthropologists have often noted the emotional attachment of people to their customs, even in cases where this loyalty can make for problems. Do anthropologists now suffer the same kind of disability with respect to their continuing emotional attachment to the concept of culture? >This book considers the state of the culture concept in anthropology and finds fault with a ‘love it or leave it’ attitude. Rather than pledging undying allegiance or summarily dismissing it, the volume argues that anthropology can continue with or without a concept of culture, depending on the research questions being asked, and, furthermore, that when culture is retained, no single definition of it is practical or necessary. >Offering sensible solutions to a topic of hot debate, this book will be essential reading for anyone seeking to learn what a concept of culture can offer anthropology, and what anthropology can offer the concept of culture. >” |

Excerpt: Statue of MancsRemembering MancsMancs (Hungarian pronunciation: ) (1994 2006), a male German Shepherd Dog , was the most famous rescue dog of the Spider Special Rescue Team of Miskolc , Hungary . His name means “paw”. Mancs’ special talent was locating earthquake survivors who lay trapped deep beneath the rubble, and alerting rescuers. He could differentiate by smell whether the person under the rubble was dead or alive, and could give different signs if he sensed a dead person, he lay down; when he was sensing that the person beneath was alive, he stood up, wagged his tail and barked. Mancs and his owner, László Lehóczki, took part in several earthquake rescue missions, including the 2001 earthquakes in El Salvador and India . Mancs became famous when he helped rescue a 3-year-old girl who spent 82 hours under the ruins after the Izmit earthquake of 1999 in Turkey .In December 2004, a statue of Mancs was erected in downtown Miskolc, near the Szinva stream and the new public square . The statue was cast by sculptor Borbála Szanyi.Mancs died on October 22, 2006, of pneumonia. Mancs in the media In an article published in Dialectical Anthropology , Melinda Kovacs discusses the press coverage of Mancs’ world-wide rescue efforts as a notable example of Hungary’s |

A Dictatorship of Relativism? $18 In the last homily he gave before becoming Pope Benedict XVI, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger described modern life as ruled by a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate goal consists solely of satisfying the desires of ones own ego. An eminent scholar familiar with the centuries-old debates over relativism, Ratzinger chose to oversimplify or even caricature a philosophical approach of great sophistication and antiquity. His homily depicts the relativist as someone blown about by every wind of doctrine, whereas the relativist sticks firmly to one argumentthat human knowledge is not absolute. Gathering prominent intellectuals from disciplines most relevant to the controversyethics, theology, political theory, anthropology, psychology, cultural studies, epistemology, philosophy of science, and classicsthis special double issue of Common Knowledge contests Ratzingers denunciation of relativism. One essay relates the arguments of Ratzinger to those of two other German scholarsthe conservative political theorist Ernst Wolfgang Bckenfrde and the liberal philosopher and sociologist Jrgen Habermassince all three men assume that social order depends on the existence of doctrinal authority (divine or otherwise). The contributors here argue for an intellectual and social life free of the desire for an infantilizing authority. One proposes that the Christian god is a relativist who prefers limitation and ambiguity; another, initially in agreement with Ratzinger about the danger relativism poses to faith and morals, then argues that this danger is what makes relativism valuable. The issue closes with the first English translation of an extract from abook on Catholic-Jewish relations by Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, on |

A Problem of Presence $26.33 Matthew Engelke has crafted a fascinating, insightful, and sensitive study of the ways in which the Friday Masowe attempt to achieve religious transcendence. Drawing thoughtfully on the findings of other researchers across a wide spectrum of sociological and theological contexts, A Problem of Presence makes a valuable contribution to the comparative study of Christianity, and to the anthropology of religion in general. –Webb Keane, author of Christian Moderns: Freedom and Fetish in the Mission Encounter In this impressive work, Engelke describes the Friday Masowe of Zimbabwe with real ethnographic sensitivity and adds wide resonance through authoritative and unpretentious theoretical elaboration. A Problem of Presence is a model of how to make an apparently oblique socio-cultural phenomenon illuminate very wide problems, without sacrificing ethnographic complexity and texture. –James Clifford, author of The Predicament of Culture |

Above The Death Pits, Beneath The Flag $34.94 Israeli youth voyages to Poland are one of the most popular and influential forms of transmission of Holocaust memory in Israeli society. Through intensive participant observation, group discussions, student diaries, and questionnaires, the author demonstrates how the State shapes Poland into a living deathscape of Diaspora Jewry. In the course of the voyage, students undergo a rite de passage, in which they are transformed into victims, victorious survivors, and finally witnesses of the witnesses. By viewing, touching, and smelling Holocaust-period ruins and remains, by accompanying the survivors on the sites of their suffering and survival, crying together and performing commemorative ceremonies at the death sites, students from a wide variety of family backgrounds become carriers of Shoah memory. They come to see the State and its defense as the romanticized answer to the Shoah. These voyages are a bureaucratic response to uncertainty and fluidity of identity in an increasingly globalized and fragmented society. This study adds a measured and compassionate ethical voice to ideological debates surrounding educational and cultural forms of encountering the past in contemporary Israel, and raises further questions about the representation of the Holocaust after the demise of the last living witnesses.Jackie Feldman lectures in Social Anthropology at Ben Gurion University, Beersheba, Israel. His areas of interest are anthropology of religion, collective memory, pilgrimage, and tourism. He has published on Holocaust memory and pilgrimages to the Second Temple and worked as a tour guide for Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land. |

Ambrosiaster’s theological anthropology: Nature, law and grace in the commentaries on the Pauline epistles and the ”Quaestiones veteris et novi testamenti CXXVII”. $49.99 Ambrosiaster was an influential, yet anonymous, Latin commentator on Paul who flourished in the late fourth century. This dissertation is a systematic study of his theological anthropology organized around four phases in salvation history. First, it addresses Ambrosiaster’s understanding of creation and prelapsarian human nature. Second, it considers the effects of Adam’s Fall and the nature of the relationship between pagans and God. Third, it deals with Ambrosiaster’s understanding of Judaism and the Jewish people. Fourth, and finally, it looks at man as a Christian. Each section presents an overview of Ambrosiaster’s thought drawn from the commentaries and Quaestiones and supported by extensive citations of the texts. Taken as a whole, the study yields a remarkably consistent theological anthropology based on: Ambrosiaster’s emphasis on the plain sense of scripture, a Christus Victor soteriology, and a belief that mankind was created with the primary purpose of countering Satan’s rebellion. The dissertation concludes with mixed appraisals of Ambrosiaster’s work. As a Pauline exegete, he succeeds in emphasizing Paul’s pastoral concerns and his hopefulness regarding virtuous pagans and non-Christian Jews, but he fails to reflect the true importance of divine grace and initiative in Paul’s thought. Regarding his relationship to the Pelagian controversy, despite Augustine’s use of Ambrosiaster’s phrase quasi in massa to describe mankind’s sin in Adam, Ambrosiaster is not proto-Augustinian, nor is he proto-Pelagian. Ambrosiaster’s theological anthropology is of a different sort, so, while both Augustine and Pelagius draw from his work, it does not naturally lead to either. Finally, as a theologian, Ambrosiaster displays some remarkably prescient insights, particularly in regard to the hope of salvation for non-Christians, but his overall system is seriously flawed by his inordinate emphasis on Satan’s role in creation and his corresponding depiction of the cosmos |
