David B. Yaden and Andrew B. Newberg, The Varieties of Spiritual Experience
And here's to you, Mrs Robinson
This article examines Honest to God from the perspective of Ruth Robinson's essays on the ideas of the book and its relation to child development. It shows the importance of the psychology of God-images and argues that there is a fundamental tension between the need for personal images and the secular abandonment of such images. It explores these issues in the context of gender and John Robinson's PhD thesis Thou Who Art , with its commitment to …
Stephen Spencer, Archbishop William Temple
The land question
This article explores Temple's understanding of the ethics of land in Christianity and Social Order . It explores Temple's engagement with contemporary issues of land in relation to profit, ownership and invasion. It is relevant to the contemporary invasion of Ukraine and environmentalism
Foucault, Christianity and Interfaith Dialogue
Foucault, Christianity and Interfaith Dialogue develops a new model for interfaith dialogue using the work of the French historian of ideas, Michel Foucault. The author argues that it is the injustice done to the 'Other' by Roman Catholic, Protestant and other centred and unitary models of religious pluralism that allows the introduction of Foucault's de-centring of transcendence and human reason as an alternative model for understanding religiou…
Michel Foucault and Theology
Religion, NGOs and the United Nations
How do religious groups, operating as NGOs, engage in the most important global institution for world peace? What processes do they adopt? Is there a “spiritual” UN today? This book is the first interdisciplinary study to present extensive fieldwork results from an examination of the activity of religious groups at the United Nations in New York and Geneva. Based on a three and half-year study of activities in the United Nations system, it seeks …
Donald Capps, The Religious Life
“Spiritual Gymnastics”
This review locates the 1980 lectures within the context of the wider discussions of Foucault and religion; highlighting the influence of George Dumézil on the comparative and structural analysis. Assessing the problem of the historical accuracy of Christian history in Foucault’s work and the nature of the archaeological approach, the review explores what would be fair to ask of Foucault’s 1980 lectures on Christianity. The review focuses on the …
Faith and Social Capital after the Debt Crisis
Faith groups in the so-called third sector of society—the social space outside government and market—have had a complex journey in post-War Britain. Despite the fact that the context of a constitut
Foucault, Religion, and Pastoral Power
In this essay, the author shows how Foucault's discussions of pastoral power relate to a wider “analytics” of religious power set down in 1975 and 1976 before he deploys the language of the “pastoral”. In shifting the discussion of pastoral power to a wider trajectory, the author considers the question of whether pastoral power persists after the historical shift to governmentality. The chapter maps the specific features of Foucault's idea of pas…
Religion and Culture
Foucault's work has affected almost every discipline in the humanities, but few have appreciated how his work engaged with theological and religious themes. This reader brings together a selection of his essays, lectures and interviews on religion
Rupture and Transformation
Using Foucault's conceptual frame from The Archaeology of Knowledge to read Foucault's late deployment of "spirituality," this article argues that Foucault's enigmatic gesture in using this concept reveals a refusal of "rupture" from the Christian pre-modern discourse of "spirit." Despite attempts to alter the "field of use," Foucault's genealogical commitment ensures a Christian continuity in modern discourses of transformation. In a detailed ex…
Clare O'Farrell . Michel Foucault . London
A case of misrepresentation
A PhD student1 in our department who has a background in classical studies and is now researching the use of the World Wide Web by pagan groups was the first to see this survey on religious studies in Scotland. She felt worried at the time by the way the article misrepresented what we did at Stirling. Coming from another country to do postgraduate studies in religion here, she felt people in her country reading this journal would be given a false…
Selling Spirituality
From Feng Shui to holistic medicine, from aromatherapy candles to yoga weekends, spirituality is big business. It promises to soothe away the angst of modern living and to offer an antidote to shallow materialism. Selling Spirituality is a short, sharp, attack on this fallacy. It shows how spirituality has in fact become a powerful commodity in the global marketplace - a cultural addiction that reflects orthodox politics, curbs self-expression an…
William James and The Varieties of Religious Experience
Religion and Mestrovic's postemotional society
Work on the social theory of emotion has been growing in the last decade, but few have considered how these studies relate to the field of religion. This article is a detailed critical examination of the work of the Croatian‐American sociologist Stjepan Mestrovic and his idea of ‘postemotionalism’. It is an exploration of the implications of his work for understanding contemporary manifestations of religion. It first unfolds the context of Mestro…
Foucault and Religion
Foucault and Religion is the first major study of Michel Foucault in relation and response to Religion. Jeremy Carrette offers us a challenging new look at Foucault's work and addresses a religious dimension that has previously been neglected. We see that prior to Foucault's infamous unpublished volume in the 'History of Sexuality', on the theme of Christianity, there is a complex religious sub-text which anticipates this final unseen work.Jeremy…
