Reading Ricoeur through Law, edited by Marc de Leeuw, George H.
Taylor, and Eileen Brennan, is the first collection of essays
solely focused on Ricoeur's thinking about law, bringing together
both established and emerging scholars to offer a systematic and
critical examination of Ricoeur's legal thinking. The chapters not
only explore the specific contribution Ricoeur makes to the field
of jurisprudence but also examine how Ricoeur's work on law fits,
complements, or changes his overall anthropology, phenomenology,
and hermeneutics. The book provides a complex insight into how law,
ethics, and politics intertwine both from within law as normative
rule setting, as well as through the wider social-political and
historical context in which law and legal institutions affect our
inter-subjective and communal life as lived "with and for others in
just institutions." The collection also makes available in English
"The Just between the Legal and the Good," a key text in Ricoeur's
reflections about law and justice. The core topics of this
collection are rights, justice, responsibility, judging,
interpretation, argumentation, punishment, and authority, but
contributors but also offer original insights in how Ricoeur's
philosophical reconceptualization of symbolism, action, ideology,
narrative, selfhood, testimony, history, trauma, reconciliation,
justice, and forgiveness can be made productive for our
understanding of law and legal institutions.
Reading Scripture with Paul Ricoeur is a unique volume in which
twelve diverse contributors illuminate and analyze Paul Ricoeur's
personal religious faith and intellectual passion for Scripture.
The co-editors, Joseph A. Edelheit and James F Moore, each studied
with Ricoeur at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago
and bring the perspectives of a rabbi and of a Lutheran pastor and
theologian, respectively. This book engages topics such as
translation, biblical hermeneutics, and prophecy, as well as
specific scriptural passages: Cain and Abel, the Epistles, and a
feminist reading of Rahab. It provides both students and scholars
alike a new resource of reflections using Ricoeur's scholarship to
illuminate and model how Ricoeur read and taught.
Sensing Sacred is an edited volume that explores the critical
intersection of "religion" and "body" through the religious lens of
practical theology, with an emphasis on sensation as the embodied
means in which human beings know themselves, others, and the divine
in the world. The manuscript argues that all human interaction and
practice, including religious praxis, engages "body" through at
least one of the human senses (touch, smell, hearing, taste, sight,
kinestics/proprioception). Unfortunately, body-and, more
specifically and ironically, sensation-is eclipsed in contemporary
academic scholarship that is inherently bent toward the realm of
theory and ideas. This is unfortunate because it neglects bodies,
physical or communal, as the repository and generator of culturally
conditioned ideas and theory. It is ironic because all knowledge
transmission minimally requires several senses including sight,
touch, and hearing. Sensing Sacred is organized into two parts. The
first section devotes a chapter to each human sense as an avenue of
accessing religious experience; while the second section explores
religious practices as they specifically focus on one or more
senses. The overarching aim of the volume is to explicitly
highlight each sense and utilize the theoretical lenses of
practical theology to bring to vivid life the connections between
essential sensation and religious thinking and practice.
