A new collection of essays highlighting the wide range of Buber's
thought, career, and activism. Best known for I and Thou, which
laid out his distinction between dialogic and monologic relations,
Martin Buber (1878–1965) was also an anthologist, translator, and
author of some seven hundred books and papers. Martin Buber:
Creaturely Life and Social Form, edited by Sarah Scott, is a
collection of nine essays that explore his thought and career.
Martin Buber: Creaturely Life and Social Form shakes up the legend
of Buber by decentering the importance of the I-Thou dialogue in
order to highlight Buber as a thinker preoccupied by the image of
relationship as a guide to spiritual, social, and political change.
The result is a different Buber than has hitherto been portrayed,
one that is characterized primarily by aesthetics and politics
rather than by epistemology or theology. Martin Buber: Creaturely
Life and Social Form will serve as a guide to the entirety of
Buber's thinking, career, and activism, placing his work in context
and showing both the evolution of his thought and the extent to
which he remained driven by a persistent set of concerns.

An overview essay and approximately 50 alphabetically arranged
reference entries explore the background and significance of
atheism and agnosticism in modern society. This is the age of
atheism and agnosticism. The number of people living without
religious belief and practice is quickly and dramatically rising.
Some experts call nonreligion, after Christianity and Islam, the
third largest "religion" in the world today. Understanding the
origins, history, variations, and impact of atheism and agnosticism
is crucial to getting a grasp of the meaning of the present and
gaining a glimpse of the future. Exploring some of the most
extraordinary people, events, and ideas of all time, this book
provides a fair, comprehensive, and engaging survey of all aspects
of contemporary atheism and agnosticism. An overview essay
discusses the background and social and political contexts of
unbelief, while a timeline highlights key events. Some 50
alphabetically arranged reference entries follow, with each
providing fundamental, objective information about particular
topics along with cross-references and suggestions for further

This collection of essays by a host of leading scholars of religion
reflects on the urgent theological questions of our day. They
present a worthy commendation of the life and academic career of
William M. Shea-particularly his instinctive empathy for the
'other' and the contribution of multiple voices in our
understanding of humanity, of religion, and of Christianity. These
selections address contemporary challenges in the church, academy,
and society, such as epistemology, culture,
ecumenical/inter-religious dialogue, and the manifold nature of
human religious experience.
The Enlightenment values of individual autonomy, democracy, and
secularizing reason conflict with the religious traditions of
community, authority, and traditional learning. Yet in American
history the two heritages have been intertwined since the colonial
era: the development of the Enlightenment has been influenced by
community-based thinking and religious institutions have adopted to
an extent critical methods and a democratic ethos even within their
own walls. This volume unites the work of a distinguished group of
theologians, historians, literary critics, and philosophers to
explore the interaction between Enlightenment ideals and American
religion. The Enlightenment's effect on the major religious
traditions, including the Catholic Church, Evangelical
Protestantism, and Judaism, is examined. Also highlighted is
religion in the thinking of such representative figures as Edwards,
Franklin, Emerson, Lincoln, Santayana, and the Pragmatists, Stevens
and Eliot.
