Verstoßen – Wiederentdeckt: Die Sequenz “Dies Irae” the sponsus with Christ, and the sponsa with the Virgin Mary. Volume 1 offers the author’s sketch, volume 2 gives a selection of notes. Königshausen & Neumann, Würzburg (2008) 1–231; 1–214 2026 Wolfgang Bretschneider, Bewundert – verstoßen – wiederentdeckt: Die Sequenz “Dies Irae”. Ein musiktheologischer Beitrag Ein berühmter mittelalterlicher Hymnus über das Jüngste Gericht ist die Sequenz “Dies irae” (Tag des Zorns). Sie wurde bis in das Jahr 1970 in der katholischen Totenmesse gesungen und hat darüber hinaus viele Komponisten zu großen Vertonungen angeregt. Dieser Beitrag erörtert die Entstehung, liturgischen Gebrauch, den Inhalt, biblische Ver- wurzelung und musikalische Rezeption dieses Hymnus. BiKi 63/4 (2008) 233–237 HISTORY OF RELIGIONS General basic concepts and issues 2027 Hans-Dieter Betz et al. (eds.), Religion Past and Present: Encyclopedia of Theology and Religion. Vol. 4: Dev-Ezr New volumes of RPP, by now well known (see IRBS 53:2079, 2080; 54:2076), continue to be issued at regular intervals. This translation of the fourth edition of Religion in Geschichte und Gegenwart, the authoritative German encyclopedia of religion, has been adapted and revised for the English-speaking public, though occasionally the German still shines through (e.g. “anthropology” appears as “ethnology”, refl ecting Ethnologie). Some of the bibliographies have been updated, but some are already out of date (an example is the bibliography appended to the entry on Durkheim). In the case of Droste-Hülshoff, one could have added M. Reiser’s innovative re-interpretation of what the article calls the Westphalian author’s “secularized consciousness”; in fact, hers is not a secular voice. Among this volume’s highlights are entries dealing with doctrine, dogma, and dogmatics, and more topical ones on the “ecological movement” and “ecological theology”. RPP continues its strength in articles pertaining to the history of religions, see the entries on Egypt ( J. Assmann being one of the authors), Elephantine, the Enlightenment (A. Beutel), epiphany, eschatology (very technical, multi-authored, and with much bibliography), ethics, and (archaeological) excavations, and existence of God (proofs). Brill, Leiden (2008) CXI/1–789 (BL) 2028 Hans-Dieter Betz et al. (eds.), Religion Past and Present: Encyclopedia of Theology and Religion. Volume 5: F – Haz The fi fth volume of RPP reaffi rms the projects general idea: that of presenting, within one single work, basic information on traditional Christian subjects (such as, in the present volume: the very long entries on ‘faith’ [with E. Jüngel as the main author] and ‘God’; but also ‘free will’, ‘God as father’, ‘gospel’, ‘grace’) with information on other religions (see the frequent inclusion of sections on Judaism and Islam in long, multi-authored articles such as ‘God’ and ‘Fear of God’; also articles such as ‘Handsome Lake’) and current ethical and political topics (such as ‘feminism and feminist theology’ [with a sec- tion ‘religious feminism in North America’], ‘fundamentalism’, ‘gender segregation in the church’, ‘gender studies’, ‘genetic engineering’, ‘happiness, bliss’). Although ecumenical in its general perspective, the work can be best understood from its background in Ger- man liberal Protestantism. The present volume includes numerous biographical articles: Fénelon, Ludwig Feuerbach, James George Frazer, Frederick the Great, Romano Guardini (but also ‘Grimm brothers’), to name just some of the better-known personalities. – For 469 the English version, the bibliographies have been updated and edited to suit the English- speaking user. – Indispensable for all libraries. Brill, Leiden (2009) CXI/1–685 (BL) 2029 Carl Ploetz (founder), Der große Ploetz. Die Enzyklopädie der Welt- geschichte. 35th Edition Ever since its fi rst edition in 1863 has “the Ploetz” become a household word among Ger- man students and scholars. Starting as a list of names and events, chronologically arranged and presented in the form of a simple list, the Ploetz manual of historical dates and facts has not only survived its founder (d. 1881), but has also grown in size and diversifi ed into a small paperback (Der kleine Ploetz, ca. 639 pp.) and a major encyclopaedic presentation of world history: Der große Ploetz, of which we can present here a new edition. Prehis- tory, ancient history, and the Middle Ages get about one third of the space available, the rest is used for the history – or, more properly, the histories – of all nations of modern times. Asian, African, and Latin American history is treated with much detail. Historians of religion will use it with much profi t, though religious history as such is not selected for special attention (though one must praise the editor for not allowing Abraham or Moses to fi gure in ancient Israelite history). By contrast, the history of science and technology, and to a certain extent also the history of culture, receives special subsections. The relevance of the computer for modern forms of communication is briefl y mentioned (p. 1450) though perhaps not to the extent that it deserves. It is to be hoped that the Ploetz will survive as a printed book even in the electronic age. Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, Göttingen (2008) 1–2128 (BL) 2030 Michael Klöcker et al. (eds.), Praktische Religionswissenschaft Although it is by no means clear what “applied religious studies” stands for, it seems clear enough from this collective volume that it has to do with research about contemporary phenomena, especially as they appear in the media, including fi lm and the internet. The contributions are presented under the following headings: theoretical papers, everyday language and media (including museums), further fi elds of research (including sports and religion, tourism and religion, international confl icts), interreligious dialogue and learning. Böhlau Verlag, Köln (2008) 1–328 (BL) 2031 Rainer Flasche, Religionswissenschaft Treiben. Versuch einer Grundle- gung der Religionswissenschaft Flasche, who teaches religious studies at the University of Marburg, Germany, insists that much of traditional ‘science of religion’ is pre-scientifi c, because it is based upon an idea expressed by Joachim Wach in 1924: every human person may act as a student of religion, for he or she has inevitably some innate religious sensibility. Wach seeks more objective criteria. According to him, the academic study of religion is geared toward explaining each religion as a fl exible system that seeks to explain the world and that offers guidelines for coping with life. Although the name of the sociologist N. Luhmann is not mentioned, Flasche seems to think in terms of Luhmann’s ‘theory of social systems’. Marburger religionsgeschichtliche Beriträge 5; Lit Verlag, Münster (2008) 1–193 (BL) 2032 Benjamin Ziemann, Sozialgeschichte der Religion. Von der Reformation bis zur Gegenwart Ziemann, who teaches European history at the University of Sheffi eld, England, discusses the relevance of religion – meaning, on the whole: the Christian churches – for understand- ing European history, though occasionally America is also mentioned (Billy Graham, pp. 147–149). Dealt with are defi nitions of religion, processes of change, religious roles and 470.

    RELIGIOUS SYNTHESIS AND CHANGE IN THE NEW WORLD: SYNCRETISM, REVITALIZATION AND CONVERSION by Stephen L. Selka, Jr. A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Schmidt College of Arts and Humanities in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida August 1997 ABSTRACT Author: Stephen L. Selka. Jr. Title: Religious Synthesis and Change in the New World: Syncretism, Revitalization and Conversion Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Gerald Weiss, Ph.D. Degree: Master of Arts Year: 1997 Cases of syncretism from the New World and other areas, with a concentration on Latin America and the Caribbean, are reviewed in order to investigate the hypothesis that structural and symbolic homologies between interacting religions are preconditions for religious syncretism. In addition, definitions and models of, as well as frameworks for, syncretism are discussed in light of the ethnographic evidence. Syncretism is also discussed with respect to both revitalization movements and the recent rise of conversion to Protestantism in Latin America and the Caribbean. The discussion of syncretism and other kinds of religious change is related to va~ious theoretical perspectives, particularly those concerning the relationship of cosmologies to the existential conditions of social life and the connection between religion and world view, attitudes, and norms. 11 RELIGIOUS SYNTHESIS AND CHANGE lN THE NEW WORLD: SYNCRETISM.

    THE CAYUGA CHIEF JACOB E. THOMAS: WALKING A N~RROW PATH BETWEEN TWO WORLDS Takeshi Kimura Faculty of Humanities Yamaguchi University 1677-1 Yoshida Yamaguchi-shi 753-8512 Japan Abstract I Resume The Cayuga Chief Jacob E. Thomas (1922-1998) of the Six Nations Reserve, Ontario, worked on teaching and preserving the oral Native languages and traditions ofthe Longhouse by employing modern technolo­ gies such as audio- and video recorders and computers. His primary concern was to transmit and document them as much as possible in the face of their possible loss. Especially, he emphasized teaching the lan­ guage and religious knowledge together. In this article, researched and written before his death, I discuss the way he taught his classes, examine the educational materials he produced, and assess their features. I also examine several reactions toward his efforts among Native people. De son vivant Jacob E. Thomas (1922-1998), chef des Cayugas de la Reserve des Six Nations, en Ontario, a travaille a I'enseignement et a la preservation des langues parlees autochtones et des traditions du Long­ house. Pour ce faire, il a eu recours aux techniques d'enregistrement audio et video ainsi qu'a I'informatique. Devant Ie declin possible des langues et des traditions autochtones, son but principal a ete de les enregistrer et de les classifier pour les rendre accessible a tous. II a particulierement mis I'accent sur la necessite d'enseigner conjointement la langue et la religion. Dans cet article, dont la recherche et la redaction ont ete accomplies avant la mort de Thomas, j'examine son enseignement en ciasse de meme que Ie materiel pedagogique qu'il a cree et en evalue les caracteristiques.

  • The Historical Archaeology of Ohagi and the Post-Revolutionary Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Ca
    CROWDING THE BANKS: THE HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY OF OHAGI AND THE POST-REVOLUTIONARY HAUDENOSAUNEE CONFEDERACY, CA. 1780-1826 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Beth Ryan January 2017 © 2017 Beth Ryan CROWDING THE BANKS: THE HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY OF OHAGI AND THE POST-REVOLUTIONARY HAUDENOSAUNEE CONFEDERACY, CA. 1780-1826. Beth Ryan, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 This dissertation examines the settlement pattern, housing styles, subsistence practices, and trade relationships of Haudenosaunee communities in New York State and Ontario in the post-Revolutionary era (1783-1826). Historical and ethnohistorical literature has described the period as one of despair, cultural loss, factionalism, and dependency among the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the communities have been labeled as “slums in the wilderness,” confined on small tracts of land and isolated from one another. My excavation at Ohagi, a Tuscarora village in Seneca territory in the Genesee River Valley (ca. 1780-1792), in combination with previously unanalyzed museum collections and a reevaluation of county histories and primary source documents, reveals that the Haudenosaunee communities in post-Revolutionary New York and Ontario built villages in a network of settlement complexes, encircling an area of rich natural resources and facilitating movement between communities and nations. The evidence reveals that housing styles did not immediately shift to European-style log cabins, as often assumed, and the shift to smaller houses did not necessarily accompany a change in matrilineal family structure and relationships. This dissertation employs recent literature on Settler Colonialism to critique both the exiting interpretations of the post-Revolutionary era as well as the practice of archaeological excavation of Native sites.

  • The Shawnee Prophet and Handsome Lake
    The Shawnee Prophet and Handsome Lake DAVID EZZO Lancaster, New York The Frontier Zone The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast the revitalization movements of Tenskwatawa (the Shawnee Prophet) and Handsome Lake of the Iroquois. Both of these revilalization movements took place within the context of a Frontier environment. Both the Shawnee and the Iroquois felt the effects of territorial expansion of the United States. Both the Shawnee and the Iroquois suffered from land loss, disease, depopulation and cultural disruption (cf. Howard 1981:1-23). Hudson (1977:13) has stated that the term "Frontier" denotes not only territorial or geographic expansion but also "the notion that the Frontier is a peculiar type of society, and, moreover, that the movement of the Frontier zone is a kind of social process, not merely a series of isolines on a map." Thus the geographical expansion by the United States and the social process on the Frontier worked together in laying the foundation of conditions that allowed for the development of both the Shawnee and Iroquois revitalization movements. Hudson notes that three essential variables can be used to identify a Frontier. These variables are time, location and population. For the purpose of this paper, the historical time frame is the late 18th and early 19th centuries (1799-1811). The locations involved are New York State and the Ohio Valley Region. The populations of concern are the Shawnee and Iroquois Indians. There are other important factors that are essential in the study of a Frontier zone. These other factors include the environment, economy, culture and, most importantly, for the concerns of the present paper, the historical interactions between "the people, institutions, and environment on the edge of the settled territory" (Hudson 1977:22).
