The Birth of “Religion and International Relations”
The field religion and international relations (IR) has been established over the last twenty years within the discipline of IR. It marks a new (largely twenty-first century) set of interdisciplinary engagements, bringing together political science and the sociology of religion. “Religion and IR” and “religious studies” continue to conduct their business independently, in different conferences, journals, and book series, but their interests incre…

Superstition and Enlightenment
This chapter first engages two cases where anthropologists draw on the work of theologians and then develops a normative account of the relation between the two disciplines via a third—philosophy—by drawing attention to questions of scale in these engagements. The second part considers, briefly, the distinctive approach to time that theological work often articulates in its concern with the past for the sake of the future. This construct can be p…

The Impact of Idealism
The first study of its kind, The Impact of Idealism assesses the impact of classical German philosophy on science, religion and culture. This fourth volume explores German Idealism's impact on theology and religious ideas in the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries. With contributions from leading scholars, this collection not only demonstrates the vast range of Idealism's theological influence across different centuries, countries, c…
The Oxford Handbook of Theology and Modern European Thought
Modern European thought' describes a wide range of philosophies, cultural programmes, and political arguments developed in Europe in the period following the French Revolution. Throughout this period, many of the wide range of 'modernisms' (and anti-modernisms) had a distinctly religious and even theological character-not least when religion was subjected to the harshest criticism. Yet for all the breadth and complexity of modern European thought…
Impact of Idealism
Long‐Term Disagreement
This article will explore points of contact between two practices of encounter between different traditions: scriptural reasoning (SR) and receptive ecumenism (RE).It will focus on shared philosophical shapes.This is not an area that has been explored much, and the findings of this inquiry should be treated as provisional.SR and RE will be characterised as strategies for dealing with long-term disagreement, that is as strategies that do not seek …
Response
Reparative Reasoning
Peter Ochs' notion of ‘pragmatic reading’ and his wider project of articulating a ‘logic of scripture’ are described in the first part of this article. A distinction is made between Ochs' proposals for how to read scripture and his more technical claims about how scripture itself models a ‘logic of repair’. The term ‘thirdness’ is explained in the contexts of the relations and axioms, hypotheses and communities. His readings of Hans Frei and Geor…

Making Deep Reasonings Public
This essay makes six claims about the practice of scriptural reasoning. Scriptural reasoning does not try to ground its own possibility. It approaches metaphysics as an account of what is taken to be true, not as a means to demonstrate necessary truths. It relies on luck. It models a practice of learning traditions' languages. It promotes friendship above consensus and agreement. It is a practice of making deep reasonings public. In summary, scri…

Architecture for Fish
Italy is not generally reckoned to have a climate or a topography conducive to the building of large-scale water-storage dams. Heavy rains in spring and fall, along with winter snowmelt from the mountains, make for two heavy flood seasons. In between, there is a long dry spell during which many rivers and streams shrink to almost nothing. Hence dams must cope with an extreme range of river regime and with extensive silting. Unlike other parts of …

Distance Points
138 Book Reviews TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE This is certainly a thorough piece of work, which pursues the history of this idea through all the subtler shifts of emphasis it underwent from Greek antiquity to the Scholastics of the 12th and 13th centuries and shows that they did not always make such a sharp distinction between knowledge and craft skills as has often been assumed. Old assumptions were gradually reworked and reconsid ered. Perhaps Whitn…
