Queer Theology: Rethinking the Western Body

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

This book has been several years in the making, and I must thank all those who have worked

on the project over that time. My greatest gratitude is of course to the contributors, to those who have been with the project from the first, and those who joined later, when others had fallen away. To all of them I owe more than it is...

Psychology and Religion : An Introduction

Routledge, 2000

This is a rather unusual book on the psychology of religion. As usual I try my very best to set down what is empirically true in the light of what is now extensive evidence on this subject. But I also take a sympathetic view of religion—I have faith in both enterprises, psychology and religion, and believe that in the end they can be...

Jesus and His Death: Historiography, the Historical Jesus, and Atonement Theory

Baylor University Press, 2005

This is a brave book. With due awareness of the historical traps and with a mastery of the recent relevant literature, McKnight here asks the crucial question, How did Jesus interpret his own death? His answer, which hearkens back to Albert Schweitzer, does full justice to Jesus' eschatological outlook and makes good sense within a first-century...

The Art of Conjecture: Nicholas of Cusa on Knowledge (Studies in Philosophy and the History of Philosophy)

The Catholic University of America Press, 2021

"Learned ignorance," the recognition that God is beyond us and our knowing capacities is the theological concept for which Nicholas of Cusa is most famous.

Mindfulness and Traditional Chinese Zen Arts: The Way of Calligraphy, Painting, Kung Fu, and Tea

Daoscape, 2020

In my early twenties, I discovered a book titled Zen in the Art of Archery . It was written by a German academic, called Eugen Herrigel, who had studied the Japanese art of ky?d? (ritualised Shint? archery) between the years 1924 and 1929.

This exotic Zen-flavoured feat had been accomplished as a result of the...

Analytic Theology: New Essays in the Philosophy of Theology

Oxford University Press, 2009

Philosophy in the English-speaking world is dominated by analytic approaches to its problems and projects; but theology has been dominated by alternative approaches. Many would say that the current state in theology is not mere historical accident, but is, rather, how things ought to be. On the other hand, many others would say precisely the...

Scientology

Oxford University Press, 2009

Scientology is arguably the most persistently controversial of all contemporary New Religious Movements. The Church of Scientology has been involved in battles over tax issues, a ten-year conflict with the Food and Drug Administration, extended turmoil with a number of European governments, and has even been subjected to FBI raids in Washington,...
