The Palgrave Handbook of Relational Sociology
by François DépelteauThis handbook on relational sociology covers a rapidly growing approach in the social sciences—one which is connected to the interests of a large, diverse pool of researchers across a range of disciplines. Relational sociology has been one of the key foundations of the “relational turn” in human sciences since the 1980s, and it offers a unique opportunity to redefine the basic epistemological and ontological principles of sociology as we know it. The contributors collected here aim to elucidate the complexity and the scope of this growing approach by dealing with three central questions: Where does relational sociology come from and what are its principal concerns? What are the main theoretical and methodological currents within relational sociology? What have we studied in relational sociology and what are the results?
The Palgrave Handbook of Religion and State Volume I: Theoretical Perspectives
by Shannon HolzerThe Palgrave Handbook of Religion and State Volume I: Theoretical Perspective deals with the relationship between Religion and its long history that has played out throughout time and across the globe. Countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Europe approach the subject of religion and the state in various ways. While the word religion to westerners usually brings Christianity to mind, in Japan it is Shintoism and Buddhism. Volume II offers chapters on the relationship of both Shintoism and Buddhism to the Japanese state. It is very easy to see how the deeply traditional Japanese citizens may come into conflict with the strictly secular Japanese state. It also contains chapters about mosque and state as well as synagogue and state.
The Palgrave Handbook of Religion and State Volume II: Global Perspectives
by Shannon HolzerThe Palgrave Handbook of Religion and State Volume II: Global Perpectives addresses issues of Religion and State from a multitude of disciplines. The volume begins with the philosophical discussion of perennial issues that have to do with the origin and nature of rights. One question centers on the right to use one’s religious beliefs to enact laws. This discussion alone sets this handbook apart from other handbooks of its type. While addressing these perennial questions, this volume includes authors who interact with the work of John Rawls, Hobbes, Rousseau, and a host of contemporary philosophers. The subsequent sections address the American Constitutional Experiment, religion, state, and law in the Americas.

Contributors to this volume offer theoretical discussions from existing literature, as well as experiences of practitioners, to deepen the readers’ understanding on the role of religion and religious institutions in peacebuilding and development in Africa. The Handbook provides reflections on possible future developments as well, thereby aligning with the goals of SDG 16.

Palimpsests of Themselves: Logic and Commentary in Postclassical Muslim South Asia (Berkeley Series in Postclassical Islamic Scholarship #5)
by Asad Q. AhmedA free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org.Palimpsests of Themselves is an intervention in current discussions about the fate of philosophy in postclassical Islamic intellectual history. Asad Q. Ahmed uses as a case study the most advanced logic textbook of Muslim South Asia, The Ladder of the Sciences, presenting in English its first full translation and extended commentary. He offers detailed assessments of the technical contributions of the work, explores the social and institutional settings of the vast commentarial response it elicited, and develops a theory of the philosophical commentary that is internal to the tradition. These approaches to the commentarial text complicate presuppositions upon which questions of Islam’s intellectual decline are erected. As such, Ahmed offers a unique and powerful opportunity to understand the transmission of knowledge across the Islamic world.

Pan-Protestant Heroism in Early Modern Europe (Early Modern Literature in History)
by Kevin ChovanecThis book offers the first full study of the challenges posed to an emerging English nationalism that stemmed from the powerful appeal exerted by the leaders of the international Protestant cause. By considering a range of texts, including poetry, plays, pamphlets, and religious writing, the study reads this heroic tradition as a 'connected literary history,' a project shared by Protestants throughout Northern Europe, which opened up both collaboration among writers from these different regions and new possibilities for communal identification. The work’s central claim is that a pan-Protestant literary field existed in the period, which was multilingual, transnational, and ideologically charged. Celebrated leaders such as William of Orange posed a series of questions, especially for English Protestants, over the relationship between English and Protestant identity. In formulating their role as co-religionists, writers often undercut notions of alterity, rendering early modern conceptions of foreignness especially fluid and erasing national borders.
Panchali: पाञ्चाली
by Shachi Mishraद्रौपदी, नारी की सशक्त गाथा है। हज़ारों वर्षों से स्त्री, टुकड़ों-टुकड़ों में द्रौपदी को जी रही है... कहीं वह अपमान और लांछना सहती है, तो कहीं पुरुष के भीतर की ऊर्जा बनती है। कहीं त्याग से उसके उत्थान की सीढ़ी बनती है, तो कहीं पुरुष के अहं के आगे विवश हो जाती है। पाँच पुरुषों को वरण करने वाली द्रौपदी, अपने पतियों के कारण कुरु-सभा में अपमानित हुई, उसके उपरांत भी उसने 'वरदान' शब्द में लिपटी दया के माध्यम से उनको दासता से मुक्त करवाया और उनके अस्तित्व, स्वाभिमान और शक्ति की रक्षा के लिए ऊर्जा प्रदान करती वन-वन भटकती रही। पंच-पतियों के प्रति सेवा, भाव, निष्ठा और कर्तव्य-निर्वाह के कारण जहाँ एक ओर सती के आसन पर विराजमान हुई... वहीं पंच-पति वरण के कारण एक युग के पश्चात् भी व्यंग्य, विद्रुप का पात्र बनी रही। विचित्र है उसका जीवन; किन्तु विचित्रता और अंतर्विरोध के बीच वह सदैव विशिष्ट रही। कृष्ण उस युग-पुरुष के लिए किस कन्या के हृदय में आकर्षण नहीं रहा होगा... फिर कृष्णा कैसे अपवाद रहती। नियति ने भी तो नाम को माध्यम बना दिया था। कृष्णा और कृष्ण के अलौकिक प्रेम और सख्यभाव को कुरु-सभा में अपमान के साथ उद्धृत किया गया, किन्तु उस प्रीति का निर्वाह भी उसी सभा में ही हुआ। जब सारा लौकिक जगत् बहरा हो गया था, तब सैकड़ों कोस दूर, उसी अलौकिक प्रीति ने उसकी पुकार को सुना और उसके सम्मान की रक्षा की। सख्यभाव और निकट हृदय-संबंध का दूसरा उदाहरण इस लौकिक जगत् में अन्यत्र नहीं दिखाई देता है और यही प्रीति पाज्चाली के हृदय की ऊर्जा का स्रोत भी रही।
Panda: An Intimate Portrait Of One Of The World's Most Elusive Characters
by Heather AngelA photographic tribute to the panda, featuring details on their home, feeding behavior, mating habits, and survival in the face of human encroachment. With its large, friendly face and eyes exaggerated by black eye patches, China&’s national treasure, the giant panda, is instantly recognizable. Giant pandas spend most of their time trying to eat enough bamboo to survive. The rest is spent conserving energy, and solitary pandas can be seen strolling along, stopping to recline on riverside rocks or amongst ferns. The lower body-weight and physical size of panda cubs mean that they have more energy to spend, and are seen climbing trees, play-fighting, doing somersaults and playing with bamboo. Panda is a unique and intimate portrait of one of the world&’s best-loved animals. The extraordinary lives of the giant panda and the enchanting red panda are captured throughout the seasons in their remote mountain habitat. This selection of over two hundred remarkable pictures shows pandas feeding, resting, playing, climbing trees and even sliding down snowy slopes, as well as showcasing the misty peaks and snow-clad forests of the beautiful Sichuan Province of China. Panda is a heart-warming and illuminating tribute to an endangered species that is loved the world over.
The Panda's Black Box: Opening up the Intelligent Design Controversy
by Scott Gilbert Edward J. Larson Jane Maienschein Michael Ruse Robert M. YoungThe debate over Intelligent Design seemingly represents an extension of the fundamental conflict between creationists and evolutionists. ID proponents, drawing on texts such as Darwin's Black Box and Of Pandas and People, urge schools to "teach the controversy" in biology class alongside evolution. The scientific mainstream has reacted with fury, branding Intelligent Design as pseudoscience and its advocates as religious fanatics.But stridency misses the point, argues Nathaniel Comfort. In The Panda's Black Box, Comfort joins five other leading public intellectuals—including Daniel Kevles and Pulitzer Prize winner Edward Larson—to explain the roots of the controversy and explore the intellectual, social, and cultural factors that continue to shape it.One of the few books on the ID issue that moves beyond mere name-calling and finger-pointing, The Panda's Black Box challenges assumptions on each side of the debate and engages both the appeal and dangers of Intelligent Design. This lively collection will appeal to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of what's really at stake in the debate over evolution.
Pandemic, Ecology and Theology: Perspectives on COVID-19 (Routledge Focus on Religion)
by Alexander J. B. HamptonAs the sequential stages of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic have unfolded, so have its complexities. What initially presented as a health emergency, has revealed itself to be a phenomenon of many facets. It has demonstrated human creativity, the oft neglected presence of nature, and the resilience of communities. Equally, it has exposed deep social inequities, conceptual inadequacies, and structural deficiencies about the way we organize our civilization and our knowledge. As the situation continues to advance, the question is whether the crisis will be grasped as an opportunity to address the deep structural, ecological and social challenges that we brought with us into the second decade of the new millennium. This volume addresses the collective sense that the pandemic is more than a problem to manage our way out of. Rather, it is a moment to consider our broken relationship with the natural world, and our alienation from a deeper sense of purpose and meaning. The contributors, though differing in their diagnoses and recommendations, share the belief that this moment, with its transformative possibility, not be forfeit. Equally, they share the conviction that the chief ground of any such reorientation ineluctably involves our collective engagement with both ecology and theology.
Pandemics, Plagues, and Natural Disasters: What is God Saying to Us?
by Erwin W. LutzerWhere is God When We Suffer?God&’s silence in the midst of human suffering is a great mystery of our existence. Faced with mass suffering, such as pandemics, plagues, and natural disasters, we may wonder whether God actually cares about us or whether He just says that He does. Pandemics, Plagues, and Natural Disasters: What is God Saying to Us? helps explain the role of God in suffering. Dr. Erwin Lutzer examines how God uses tragedies throughout the Bible to speak to His people, and that, ultimately, God always has our well-being in mind even when He doesn&’t relieve our immediate pain. Perhaps most importantly, find lasting joy and relief by learning how times of such widespread trouble reveal God&’s ultimate plans for our salvation from all temporary and eternal suffering.

Pandemie im Film: Religiöse und ästhetische Transformationen in der Populärkultur (pop.religion: lebensstil – kultur – theologie)
by Inge Kirsner Harald Schroeter-WittkeUntersucht wird die theologische und ästhetische Bearbeitung der Pandemien in dystopischen und Science-Fiction-Filmen sowie Serien. Zwischen Verschwörungstheorien, der Sicht als Strafe Gottes und der fatalistischen Annahme eines "notwenigen Übels" changieren die Erklärungsmodelle im Film wie auch in der gesellschaftlichen Wirklichkeit. Filme bieten dabei stellvertretend narrative Lösungsmodelle an. Die Katastrophe wird auf diese Weise dem beängstigenden Alltag für kurze Zeit enthoben, was eine der Reflexion zuträgliche Distanz ermöglicht. Exemplarisch wird ein sich wandelndes Rollen-, Gesellschafts- und Gottesbild aufgezeigt, das zu religionspädagogischen Reflexionen anregt.
