Le ministère sacerdotal dans la tradition syriaque primitive : Aphraate, Éphrem, Jacques de Saroug et Narsaï /
:
Dans Le ministère sacerdotal dans la tradition syriaque primitive, Tanios Bou Mansour présente une analyse du sacerdoce chrétien chez quatre auteurs syriaques, Aphraate, Éphrem, Jacques et Narsaï, en l'éclairant par le sacerdoce du Christ et en le plaçant dans la continuité du sacerdoce de l'Ancien Testament. L'originalité et l'actualité de nos auteurs résident dans leur conception de l'élection, de la succession apostolique, de traits "sacerdotaux" attribués aux femmes dans la Bible, et surtout du prêtre qui, mandaté par l'Eglise, exécute l'action du Christ et de l'Esprit. In Le ministère sacerdotal dans la tradition syriaque primitive, Tanios Bou Mansour analyzes the Christian priesthood in four Syriac writers: Aphraate, Ephrem, Jacob of Sarug and Narsaï. Their conception of priesthood is illuminated by the Priesthood of Christ and contextualized within the continuity of the priesthood of the Old Testament. These authors' originality and actuality lies in their conception of election, of apostolic succession, of "sacerdotal" traits attributed to women in the Bible, and especially of the priest who, commissioned by the Church, executes the action of the Christ and the Spirit.

Ottoman-Southeast Asian Relations : sources from the Ottoman Archives /
:
Ottoman-Southeast Asian Relations: Sources from the Ottoman Archives, is a product of meticulous study of İsmail Hakkı Kadı, A.C.S. Peacock and other contributors on historical documents from the Ottoman archives. The work contains documents in Ottoman-Turkish, Malay, Arabic, French, English, Tausung, Burmese and Thai languages, each introduced by an expert in the language and history of the related country. The work contains documents hitherto unknown to historians as well as others that have been unearthed before but remained confined to the use of limited scholars who had access to the Ottoman archives. The resources published in this study show that the Ottoman Empire was an active actor within the context of Southeast Asian experience with Western colonialism. The fact that the extensive literature on this experience made limited use of Ottoman source materials indicates the crucial importance of this publication for future innovative research in the field. Contributors are: Giancarlo Casale, Annabel Teh Gallop, Rıfat Günalan, Patricia Herbert, Jana Igunma, Midori Kawashima, Abraham Sakili and Michael Talbot

Prosperity Gospel Redefined : The Impact of Charismatisation of the Mainline Churches in Tanzania /
:
This book provides an in-depth discussion of the cultural and missional implications of the explosion of charismatic Christianity on mainline denominations in Africa. The book proposes that the charismatization of mainline churches is a contextual, missional, and transcultural phenomenon that enriches and invigorates African Christian communities. Focused on the experience of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania and using Prosperity Gospel as an example, the book explores how some mainline churches are being enriched by adopting practices of charismatic Christianity. It proposes a holistic and contextual understanding of the Prosperity Gospel, understood as the mafanikio gospel in Tanzania, as a relevant theological resource for Lutherans in Dar-es-Salaam. In doing so, it intends to contribute to the needed paradigm shift in theological discourses around Prosperity Gospel to challenge stereotypical criticisms that label it false and misleading.

Transkulturelle Theologien : Netzwerkdynamiken und Deutungsaushandlungen am Beispiel von Korean Americans /
:
Korean American Theolog*innen mit transkulturellen Biografien entwickeln neue christliche Sinndeutungen in der Postmigration durch selektive religiöse und soziokulturelle Transkulturationen. Darin spielt die Aushandlung bestehender Deutungsmächte bedingt durch die intersektionale Verschränkung von Ethnizität, race und Gender und die produktive, selektive Verflechtung theologischer und religiöser Traditionen im hybriden Zwischenraum als Antwort darauf eine Rolle. In der Studie wird zuerst das Netzwerk von Korean American Gemeinden analysiert, um davon ausgehend am Beispiel der transkulturellen und postkolonialen Theologien von Andrew Sung Park und Grace Ji-Sun Kim die darin zum Ausdruck kommenden Deutungsmachtaushandlungen zu eruieren. Die Ergebnisse geben auch Aufschluss darüber, welchen Beitrag transkulturelle Theologien für die Entwicklung der Theologie in einer superdiversen Gesellschaft beitragen können.

The Hostile City of Love and Antibodies of Hate /
:
Demirsu offers an engaging comparative analysis of antagonistic social actors co-existing in Verona, a mid-sized city in northeast Italy renowned as the fortress of the far-right. This rich multidimensional analysis explores the intersection of space, identity, and social movements, by delving into the evolution of competing actors and their contending positions on identity and belonging as manifested through urban spaces. While the city and its touristic heritage are promoted for a transnational identitarian network, the protracted struggles of grassroots actors demonstrate democratic potentials for the bottom-up realization of inclusive and pluralist possibilities in hostile settings. The book traces the ways in which collective identity and collective action of social actors are shaped by their relationship to the space in which they operate, with ramifications for places beyond.

The Revolutionary Organisation : Armed Struggle from the Late 18th Century to the Present /
:
This is the first comprehensive study of the phenomenon of the armed-struggle revolutionary organisation. The Revolutionary Organisation covers the period from the late 18th century to the present, is global in scope, and discusses organisations inspired by all main ideological traditions: communist, anti-colonialist, nationalist, democratic, Islamist, fascist, and white supremacist. The condition of life-and-death struggle with the state imposes similar patterns of operation upon these organisations, irrespective of their ideological inclinations. This work interprets armed-struggle revolutionary organisations as hybrids of three orientations: an apparatus of professional revolutionaries; an emotional community sustained by ideology, battle comradeship, and ritual; and an instrument of physical force nurturing an heroic organisational ethos.

The French May : Actors and Dynamics of a Global Crisis /
:
It is now time to stop revering May 68 as a political myth, but to consider it as it was, meaning as a social movement that unexpectedly turned into a tremendous political crisis, bringing French institutions near to collapse. Relying on original data, such as unprecedented archives and personal interviews with former sixty-eighters, the book brings new light on how the revolt was unleashed not only among Paris students but the whole French population, challenged all established hierarchies, shook culture and mores, deeply affected its participants' life course, and contributed to a worldwide context of protest.

The 'Problem' of Girls' Education in Postcolonial Pakistan : A Study of Postcolonial Islamic Governmentalities in Rural Balochistan /
:
The book charts a comprehensive account of girls' education in postcolonial Pakistan, and argues that the problem of girls' education in rural areas needs to be situated in the construction of knowledge, the practice of power relations, and the contested processes of truth production. Drawing on theories of Foucault's governmentality, postcolonialism and feminism, the author explores the context of Pakistan as a postcolonial Islamic nation-state, examines the British colonial legacies of governing institutions, discourses of gender and education, and development of girls' education policy and practices. The book contributes to the development of the analytical framework of postcolonial Islamic governmentality and uses the framework to analyse the research data, and education policy texts and discourses.

Education, Inclusion, Pluralism and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals : A Case Study of the Cultural Politics of Postcolonial Pakistan /
:
This book offers a compelling analysis of education's promise to achieve inclusive, pluralistic and sustainable societies. These globally shared challenges are examined through a detailed analysis of the cultural politics of education in postcolonial Pakistan. The analysis provides a window into the ways that the intergenerational traumas of colonialism, neocolonialism, globalisation and forms of extremism continue to present significant challenges for postcolonial Pakistan. Drawing on postcolonial theories and curriculum theory, the author develops a critical discourse analysis of the cultural politics that shapes education in Pakistan. The analysis identifies key elements of this cultural politics such as religious and cultural dynamics, geopolitical challenges, the need to promote unity and cohesion, employing history for nation-building, and gender relations, and the ways in which these elements intersect to shape the possibilities of delivering on the promise of inclusion, pluralism and sustainable development.
