Internationally recognized scholars from many parts of the world provide a critical survey of recent developments and achievements in the global field of religious studies.

Generations of scholars have meditated upon the literary devices and cultural meanings of The Song of Roland. But according to Andrew Taylor not enough attention has been given to the physical context of the manuscript itself. The original copy of The Song of Roland is actually bound with a Latin translation of the Timaeus.Textual Situations looks at this bound volume along with two other similarly bound medieval volumes to explore the manuscripts and marginalia that have been cast into shadow by the fame of adjacent texts, some of the most read medieval works. In addition to the bound volume that contains The Song of Roland, Taylor examines the volume that binds the well-known poem "Sumer is icumen in" with the Lais of Marie de France, and a volume containing the legal Decretals of Gregory IX with marginal illustrations of wayfaring life decorating its borders.Approaching the manuscript as artifact, Textual Situations suggests that medieval texts must be examined in terms of their material support—that is, literal interpretation must take into consideration the physical manuscript itself in addition to the social conventions that surround its compilation. Taylor reconstructs the circumstances of the creation of these medieval bound volumes, the settings in which they were read, inscribed, and shared, and the social and intellectual conventions surrounding them.

"Textual Knowledge" is for anyone teaching the Holy Scriptures of the Jewish people. Although it explores things central to Jewish education, it can't but be also be of interest to educators from other religious traditions and for those teaching the Bible in secular institutions such as universities. The reason for it is because the primary thrust of this work is not so much the Bible, but its pedagogy - to make it deeper, richer, more thoughtful and thus more powerful for students of any age and in any setting.

This unique work takes a method of textual analysis commonly used in studies of ancient Western and Eastern manuscripts and applies it to twenty-one early Qur'an manuscripts. Keith Small analyzes a defined portion of text from the Qur'an with two aims in view: to recover the earliest form of text for this portion, and to trace the historical development of this portion to the current form of the text of the Qur'an. Small concludes that though a significantly early edited form of the consonantal text of the Qur'an can be recovered, its original forms of text cannot be obtained. He also documents the further editing that was required to record the Arabic text of the Qur'an in a complete phonetic script, as well as providing an explanation for much of the development of various recitation systems of the Qur'an. This controversial, thought-provoking book provides a rigorous examination into the history of the Qur'an and will be of great interest to Quranic Studies scholars.

In this new book, you’ll learn how to teach evidence-based writing using a variety of tools, activities, and sample literary texts. Showing elementary and middle school students how to think critically about what they’re reading can be a challenge, but author C.

Textual Criticism of the Bible provides a starting point for the study of both Old and New Testament textual criticism.In this book, you will be introduced to the world of biblical manuscripts and learn how scholars analyze and evaluate all of that textual data to bring us copies of the Bible in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek that can be used for translating the Bible into modern languages. Textual Criticism of the Bible surveys the field, explains technical terminology, and demonstrates in numerous examples how various textual questions are evaluated. Complicated concepts are clearly explained and illustrated to prepare readers for further study with either more advanced texts on textual criticism or scholarly commentaries with detailed discussions of textual issues.You may not become a textual critic after reading this book, but you will be well prepared to make use of a wide variety of text-critical resources.

This collection of essays, articles, and speeches sits at the intersection of deeply traditional rabbinic texts and radically progressive Jewish values. The essays in this book are written with fine scholarship and a deep commitment to the way that faith informs our lives. However, they are also crafted with humility, kindness, and a significant portion of personal courage. In these essays Rabbi Mike Moskowitz gives us access to part of his own story and many of his brilliant ideas, all of which serve as tools for bridging the divide that religion often places between us and each other, us and God, and even us and ourselves. If you are a person who longs for a life informed by authentic faith and meaningful activism, especially as it involves including and celebrating the transgender community in religious spaces, this book is for you.- Rev. Dr. Amy K. Butler Senior Minister, The Riverside ChurchRabbi Mike Moskowitz has taken the directive to pursue justice to heart. Leveraging his vast Yeshivah knowledge to uncover and expand our tradition's wisdom and teachings, his groundbreaking contributions are wide-ranging. From consent and allyship to gender and immigration, Rabbi Moskowitz's words are driven by his profound commitment to seeing people as God has created us, in God's own image.- Seth M. Marnin, Chair of Keshet’s, Board of Directors

The twentieth anniversary edition of Henry Jenkins’s Textual Poachers brings this now-canonical text to a new generation of students interested in the intersections of fandom, participatory culture, popular consumption and media theory. Supplementing the original, classic text is an interview between Henry Jenkins and Suzanne Scott in which Jenkins reflects upon changes in the field since the original release of Textual Poachers. A study guide by Louisa Stein helps provides instructors with suggestions for the way Textual Poachers can be used in the contemporary classroom, and study questions encourage students to consider fan cultures in relation to consumer capitalism, genre, gender, sexuality, and more.
