Interactions. The first part Prophetic Virtues and Miracles will
prove invaluable to readers who wish to understand, in the light of
the most authenticated and sourced classical Islamic materials, the
responsibilities of Muslims in modern age, and the rights of
others, and will provide clarity in relation to the Prophet
Muhammad's virtues and life, his methods of worship and spiritual
practice and other aspects of his Sunnah.

This book examines the relationship between divine in/activity and
human agency in the five books of the Megilloth-the books of Ruth,
Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, Lamentations, and Esther. As works of
literature dating to the early Second Temple period (ca. 6th-3rd
centuries BCE), these books and the implicit interpretation of
these particular themes reflect the diverse cultural and
theological dynamics of the time. Megan Fullerton Strollo contends
that the themes themselves as well as the correlation between them
should be interpreted as implicit theology insofar as they
represent reflective interpretation of earlier theological
traditions. With regard to divine in/activity, she argues that the
Megilloth presents a certain level of skepticism or critical
analysis of the Deity. From doubt to protest, the books of the
Megilloth grapple with received traditions of divine providence and
present experiences of absence, abandonment, and distance. As a
correlative to divine in/activity, human agency is presented as
consequential. In addition, the portrayal of human agency serves as
a theological response insofar as the books advance the theme
through specific references to and reevaluations of earlier
theocentric traditions.
A Feminist Mythology takes us on a poetic journey through the
canonical myths of femininity, testing them from the point of view
of our modern condition. A myth is not an object, but rather a
process, one that Chiara Bottici practises by exploring different
variants of the myth of "womanhood" through first- and third-person
prose and poetry. We follow a series of myths that morph into each
other, disclosing ways of being woman that question inherited
patriarchal orders. In this metamorphic world, story-telling is not
just a mix of narrative, philosophical dialogues and metaphysical
theorizing: it is a current that traverses all of them by
overflowing the boundaries it encounters. In doing so, A Feminist
Mythology proposes an alternative writing style that recovers
ancient philosophical and literary traditions from the pre-Socratic
philosophers and Ovid's Metamorphoses to the philosophical novellas
and feminist experimental writings of the last century.

Could Confucius hit a curveball? Could Yoda block the plate? Can the Dalai Lama dig one out of the dirt? No, there is only one Zen master who could contemplate the circle of life while rounding the bases. Who is this guru lurking in the grand old game? Well, he's the winner of ten World Series rings, a member of both the Hall of Fame and the All-Century Team, and perhaps the most popular and beloved ballplayer of all time. And without effort or artifice he's waxed poetic on the mysteries of time ("It gets late awful early out there"), the meaning of community ("It's so crowded nobody goes there anymore"), and even the omnipresence of hope in the direst circumstances ("It ain't over 'til it's over"). It's Yogi Berra, of course, and in What Time Is It? You Mean Now? Yogi expounds on the funny, warm, borderline inadvertent insights that are his trademark. Twenty-six chapters, one for each letter, examine the words, the meaning, and the uplifting example of a kid from St. Louis who grew up to become the consummate Yankee and the ultimate Yogi.
