The 'Alawi Religion: An Anthology
, Brepols - Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, 2021 Paperback, 221 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503597812.
Summary The 'Alawi religion, known for most of its history by the name Nu?ayriyya, emerged in Iraq over a millennium ago. An esoteric, syncretistic religion with a close affinity to Shi'i Islam, its origins are shrouded in obscurity. Over time, beliefs and rituals deriving from paganism, Zoroastrianism and Christianity were grafted to the radical Shi'i substrate, giving the religion its distinctive character. Throughout their history the 'Alawites were a persecuted religious minority, but in the 1970s they came to power in Syria and retained absolute rule until recently. There is also a significant population in Hatai Province in southern Turkey. Arising from the authors' long-standing interest in the 'Alawi religion, this anthology offers for the first time a selection from the distinctive literature of the mysterious religion. The book opens with a detailed introduction setting the background for the themes it will cover: the mystery of the divinity in the 'Alawi faith; rituals and ceremonies; calendar and festivals; the doctrine of reincarnation; initiation into the divine mysteries and the esoteric circle; and finally, the identity and self-definition of the religion's followers vis- -vis Islam and other religions.

religion des philosophes grecs,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2012 Paperback, 200 p., 15 x 21. ISBN 9782503548869.
Ce volume tente d'aborder le probleme de la religion des philosophes grecs. Le probleme de la religion des philosophes grecs est un des plus ardus de ceux qui se posent aux historiens de la religion grecque. Quels sont ses rapports avec la religion populaire? Et d?abord est il legitime de parler d?une "religion des philosophes"? Dans l?affirmative, quelle importance faut-il lui accorder? Doint-on admettre que le "destin d?une religion est le fait d?une foule", et que par consequent "les conceptions religieuses de la literature n?agirent guere sur la vie de la religion grecque? Ou au contraire faut-il penser que les historiens des religions ont eu trop souvent tendance a sous-estimer l?apport des philosophes dans la religion de leur people, et qu?en ce qui concerne les Grecs, en particulier, il se pourrait que l?evolution de leur croyances religieuses fut plus largement tributaire de l?influence des philosophes qu?on ne l?a longtemps cru.

Between Personal and Institutional Religion Self, Doctrine, and Practice in Late Antique Eastern Christianity,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2012 Hardback, approx. X+400 p., 156 x 234 mm. Languages : English, Greek, Syriac. ISBN 9782503541310.
The shift from Late Antiquity to Early Byzantium seen in the light of the mutual relations between personal and institutional religion. This book addresses change and continuity in late antique Eastern Christianity, as perceived through the lens of the categories of institutional religion and personal religion. The interaction between personal devotion and public identity reveals the creative aspects of a vibrant religious culture that altered the experience of Christians on both a spiritual and an institutional level. A close look at the interrelations between the personal and the institutional expressions of religion in this period attests to an ongoing revision of both the patristic literature and the monastic tradition. By approaching the period in terms of 'revision', the contributors discuss the mechanism of transformation in Eastern Christianity from a new perspective, discerning social and religious changes while navigating between the dynamics of personal and institutional religion. Recognizing the creative aspects inherent to the process of 'revision', this volume re-examines several aspects of personal and institutional religion, revealing dogmatic, ascetic, liturgical, and historiographical transformations. Attention is paid to the expression of the self, the role of history and memory in the construction of identity, and the modification of the theological discourse in late antique culture. The book also explores several avenues of Jewish-Christian interaction in the institutional and public sphere.

Many Lives of Jesus. Scholarship, Religion, and the Nineteenth Century Imagination
, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 300 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503602561.
Summary This collection of essays aims to offer a multi-disciplinary approach to nineteenth and early twentieth century scholarship on Jesus and early Christianity, which illustrates the width and depth of the questions that critical reflections on the historical Jesus raised in and beyond the field of liberal theology. More precisely, it focuses on Jesus scholarship as practiced in various disciplines and fields that engaged with the academic study of religion. On the other hand, this volume aims for a comprehensive, multi-perspectivist historicization of this scholarship, considering the full range of religious, cultural, racial, political, and national dynamics that hosted the many controversies over the historical Jesus. Divided into five sections, the eleven essays in this book are organized according to guiding themes and a loose chronological structure. The first section revisits the roots of the Forschung in Liberal-Protestant Germany, and especially focuses on the maturation of historical-critical consciousness in the work of Reimarus (and his predecessors), Schleiermacher and Strauss. The second section is concerned with the rise of the ?oriental Jesus? against the background of the making of the academic, non-theological study of religion as a scientific discipline. The third section explores how themes related to the historical Jesus and the rise of Christianity were treated among different academic disciplines from the early second half of the nineteenth century onwards. The fourth section explores how the historical Jesus was at the same time further explored by the biblical scholars and theologians who integrated new comparative methods in their research. The fifth section, finally, highlights the cultural-political appropriations that were made of scholarly writings on Jesus, which not rarely constituted the bricks with which radical political movements built their houses.
