The Spiritual Turn
North Americans and Western Europeans increasingly identify as 'spiritual but not religious'. This book combines cultural sociology with intellectual history and political philosophy to examine this 'spiritual turn'.
Religious Leadership and Christian Identity
Research into the field of religious leadership in relation to Christian identity is highly complex. What should be meant by religious leadership? What do we really mean if we talk about Christian identity? And most of all: what implies the and between religious leadership and Christian identity? Is there a necessary substantial relation between both? If so, how has leadership contributed in the past to Christian identity and how will it in the contemporary context stimulate a Christian identity?
The Shape of Spirituality
Around 20 percent of Americans fall into the category of “spiritual but not religious.” Yoga has become a ubiquitous pastime for middle-class Westerners. Mindfulness is increasingly incorporated into school curricula, sports programs, and even corporate culture. Hollywood icons and Silicon Valley trendsetters tout the benefits of a “spiritual” life. These developments reflect a widespread turn away from “religion” toward “spirituality.” Yet the nature of this spiritual turn is still poorly understood, and its consequences sorely underappreciated. The Shape of Spirituality brings together leading sociologists to challenge common notions that spirituality is individualistic, pr...
Compassion for one another in the Global Village
The International Council on Pastoral Care and Counselling (ICPCC) met in October 2015 in San Francisco for its 10th International Congress. Recent results from worldwide projects underlined the importance of an exchange within the globalized network. Interreligious encounters in spiritual care and counseling led to new insights, while aspects of social justice brought along new challenges. Sections on technology and internet communication opened a space for new reflections in the realm of spiritual experience. This volume presents documents from a joint meeting of ICPCC with American organizations for Pastoral Care and Counselling. It shows the enduring process of formation of a worldwide community of spiritual counsellors.

A Companion to Boniface
The eighth-century English missionary and church reformer Boniface was a highly influential figure in early medieval Europe. His career in what is now Germany, France, and the Netherlands is attested in an exceptional number of textual sources: a correspondence of 150 letters, Latin poetry, church council records, and other documents. Numerous saints’ lives and modern devotional materials further reveal how he was and is remembered by the religious communities that claim him as a foundational figure. This volume comprises the latest scholarship on Boniface and his fellow missionaries, examining the written materials associated with Boniface, his impacts on the regions of Europe where he worked (Hessia, Thuringia, Bavaria, Frisia, and Francia), and the development of his cult in the Middle Ages and today. Contributors: Michel Aaij, John-Henry Clay, Michael Glatthaar, Shannon Godlove, Leanne Good, Petra Kehl, Felice Lifshitz, Rob Meens, Michael Edward Moore, Marco Mostert, James Palmer, Janneke Raaijmakers, Rudolf Schieffer, Emily Thornbury, Siegfried Weichlein, and Barbara Yorke.
A Spirituality for Brokenness
A gentle, clear guide to finding hope and help in troubled days. “When you begin to understand what brokenness means, you will be armed with information that empowers you to take the steps that can turn your leaden feelings into opportunities for health and happiness. When you can accept (and perhaps even celebrate) your brokenness, you can cease your endless search for ‘healing’ and get on with your life, scars and all.” —from Chapter 1 We each have broken areas of our lives. Whether from things that happen to us or as consequences of our own choices, there are times and situations where our very souls feel fractured. With wisdom and profound personal experience, Terry Taylor guid...
Belief Without Borders
A dramatic rise in ''nones''—individuals without religious affiliation—has taken place in less than two decades. Many of these people are seekers who self-identify as ''spiritual but not religious (SBNR).'' In Belief without Borders, theologian Linda Mercadante, once an SBNR herself, sets out to find them and let them speak for themselves.

Religious Dissent in Late Antiquity, 350-450
Religious Dissent in Late Antiquity reconsiders the Christianization of the late Roman Empire. The focus is on the shifting position of dissenting religious groups ('pagans' and 'heretics'). The book shows that the narrative is more nuanced than the simple Christian triumph over the classical world.
