SERIES/ Princeton Readings in Religion
Published by: Princeton University PressPrinceton Readings in Religion (Series Editor: Donald S. Lopez Jr.) Adopting a fresh approach to sourcebooks on the religions of the world, Princeton Readings in Religions moves away from an emphasis on philosophy and the religious expressions of elite groups to represent instead a wide range of current and historical religious practices. The series provides a new configuration of texts by making available for the first time works that have never been translated before. Although the books are designed for students, specialists will discover in them a wealth of unfamiliar and valuable material. Furthermore, the selections, appealing in themselves, are placed in an understandable context for a wide audience of general readers. The contributors include experts from around the world, each of whom provides a substantial introduction for his or her piece, placing the text in time and genre and discussing the history and influence of the work, identifying points of particular difficulty or interest. Each volume also contains a substantial general introduction in which the history of the traditions is outlined and the significance of the works included is explored.

Medieval Christianity in Practice, Edited by Miri Rubin
"This unique book re-creates the practical and imaginative experiences of medieval parishioners, from cradle to grave. This is of compelling interest to historians, religious specialists, and students of literature, for we see here multifarious attempts to reach ordinary people through their own language. We also see the church at work all across Europe, celebrating its saints, discouraging dissidence, and providing for those who would live perfectly. Highly recommended." - David Wallace, University of Pennsylvania. 360pp Paper
Hardcover Edition Available at $80.00.
