Oromo Indigenous Religion and Oromo Christianity
The early non-Oromo writers have distorted the history of the Oromo. Without scientific research, they were speaking of the so-called Oromo migration of the 16th century. Against the unscientific thesis, of the early scholars, this work confirmed the Oromo to be not only the indigenous African peoples, but also belong to the Cushitic Africans who invented the first world civilization. Their egalitarian and holistic culture, the gadaa system is part of the ancient Cushitic civilization. It is the base for modern democratic system of governance. The root word of 'gadaa' is originated from ‘Ka’, the creator God of the ancient religion of the Cushitic Africans. From this very name, Ka origin...
Exiled God and Exiled Peoples
" ""Exiled God and exiled peoples"" sets out to explore the perceptions of God within a number of forcibly removed communities in South Africa and Jewish survivors of the Shoah, with the latter being predominantly of German origin. It considers rupture in individual and commmunal life-stories as a determining factor in the perception of and the relationship with God and follows the path paved by survivors of apartheid and the Shoah by recalling their topo-logy, their stories about place, displacement and terror and the encapsulated relationship with God in their respective exiles.

Mäsqäl
Zur besonderen Verehrung des Kreuzes im christlichen Äthiopien gehört auch das Kreuz- oder Mäsqäl-Fest im September, an dem sowohl der Auffindung des wahren Kreuzes Jesu in Jerusalem als auch der Ankunft eines Teiles davon im eigenen Land gedacht wird. Die mehrtägige Feier setzt sich dabei aus vielen einzelnen Traditionen zusammen, die zum Teil noch aus Jerusalem stammen und die einst vom Kaiserhaus auch für politische Zwecke eingesetzt wurden. Dieses Buch geht der Frage nach, wie diese Traditionslinien verlaufen und wie sie sich einander bedingt und beeinflusst haben. Das Ergebnis ist eine Traditionsgeschichte von "Mäsqäl" durch 17 Jahrhunderte hindurch bis heute.
"Und man kann auch Sport machen, mit Gott sag ich jetzt mal"
Schulformen mit evangelischem Profil werden von Erwachsenen für Kinder ausgewählt, geschaffen und gestaltet. Erst in letzter Zeit wird es zunehmend selbstverständlich, Kindern und Jugendlichen bei der Erforschung ihrer Lebenswelt eine aktive Rolle zuzusprechen und die jugendlichen Akteure selbst zu Wort kommen zu lassen. Die vorliegende Arbeit nimmt diesen Perspektivwechsel vor. Ihr Anliegen ist es aufzuzeigen, wie Grundschülerinnen und Grundschüler im Vergleich zu erwachsenen Akteuren das evangelische Profil im Lern- und Lebensraum Schule wahrnehmen und beschreiben. Das Interesse richtet sich insbesondere auf Bereiche und Wirkungsfelder, die im Hinblick auf die religionssensible Profilierung bedeutsam sind. Dazu gehören sowohl die Schulkultur, die Schulgemeinschaft, der Schulalltag mit dem Fächerkanon als auch Kontakte der Schulen nach innen und außen. Die Sichtweise der Grundschülerinnen und Grundschüler auf das evangelische Profil ihrer Schule ist von besonderer Bedeutsamkeit und wird hier erstmals wissenschaftlich untersucht.
Christianity, Islam, and Orisa-Religion
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s open access publishing program for monographs. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. The Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria are exceptional for the copresence among them of three religious traditions: Islam, Christianity, and the indigenous orisa religion. In this comparative study, at once historical and anthropological, Peel explores the intertwined character of the three religions and the dense imbrication of religion in all aspects of Yoruba history up to the present. For over 400 years, the Yoruba have straddled two geocultural spheres: one reaching north over the Sahara to the world of Isla...
Editing the Bible
The Bible is likely the most-edited book in history, yet the task of editing the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts of the Bible is fraught with difficulties. The dearth of Hebrew manuscripts of the Jewish Scriptures and the substantial differences among those witnesses creates difficulties in determining which text ought to be printed as the text of the Jewish Scriptures. For the New Testament, it is not the dearth of manuscripts but the overwhelming number of manuscripts—almost six thousand Greek manuscripts and many more in other languages—that presents challenges for sorting and analyzing such a large, multivariant data set. This volume, representing experts in the editing of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, discusses both current achievements and future challenges in creating modern editions of the biblical texts in their original languages. The contributors are Kristin De Troyer, Michael W. Holmes, John S. Kloppenborg, Sarianna Metso, Judith H. Newman, Holger Strutwolf, Eibert Tigchelaar, David Trobisch, Eugene Ulrich, John Van Seters, Klaus Wachtel, and Ryan Wettlaufer.
The Basque Table

Soups, stews, salads, and sides round out the feast.
Silent Victims
Hate crimes against Native Americans are a common occurrence, Barbara Perry reveals, although most go unreported. In this eye-opening book, Perry shines a spotlight on these acts, which are often hidden in the shadows of crime reports. She argues that scholarly and public attention to the historical and contemporary victimization of Native Americans as tribes or nations has blinded both scholars and citizens alike to the victimization of individual Native Americans. It is these acts against individuals that capture her attention. Silent Victims is a unique contribution to the literature on hate crime. Because most extant literature treats hate crimesÑeven racial violenceÑrather generically...
The Premise of Fidelity
The Premise of Fidelity puts forward a new history of Japanese visuality through an examination of the discourses and practices surrounding the nineteenth century transposition of "the real" in the decades before photography was introduced. This intellectual history is informed by a careful examination of a network of local scholars—from physicians to farmers to bureaucrats—known as Shōhyaku-sha. In their archival materials, these scholars used the term shashin (which would, years later, come to signify "photography" in Japanese) in a wide variety of medical, botanical, and pictorial practices. These scholars pursued questions of the relationship between what they observed and what they...
