BOOK NOTICES The intention of these book notices is very simple: to draw attention to new spirituality books that could be of interest to readers of Studies in Spirituality. Henk Rutten, the libra- rian and information manager of the Titus Brandsma Institute, lists here some seventy tit- les with short descriptions. They are not meant to be comprehensive and in-depth book reviews. The descriptions can also be found on the website of the Institute in the Bulletin Board section of Spirin: http://www.titusbrandsmainstituut.nl/eng/spirin/Bulletin%20 Board.htm Here a growing number of in-depth book reviews by various scholars can be found as well. Where applicable, they will be referred to below. Adams, Gwenfair Walters, Visions in Late Medieval England: Lay Spirituality and Sacred Glimpses of the Hidden Worlds of Faith, Leiden; Boston: Brill, 2007 (Studies in the History of Christian Traditions; Vol. 130), XXIII, 273 pages, ISBN: 978-90-04-15606-7. Visions were highly popular in the late Middle Ages, whether preached as vivid stories from the pulpit, illuminated in saint-filled manuscripts, or experienced during the breathless anticipation of a Mass or eerie darkness of a Yorkshire graveyard. This volume is the first to map out the wide range of vision types in late medieval English lay piety. Analyzing 1000 visionary accounts gathered from sermon and exempla collections, religious devotional works, saints’ legends, and lay stories, it explores five central dyna- mics of spirituality that visions shaped and sustained: Transactions of Satisfaction (visits to and from purgatory and hell), Reciprocated Devotion (visitations of the saints), Spiritual Warfare (attacks by demons), Supra-Sacramental Sight (Mass and Passion sightings), and Mediated Revelation (prophetic visions). Gwenfair Walters Adams, Ph.D. (1993) in Medieval Ecclesiastical History, Cambridge University, is Associate Professor of Church History at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Alexander, Hanan, Reclaiming Goodness: Education and the Spiritual Quest, Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press, 2001, 288 pages, ISBN: 978-0-268-04003-5. This work begins with the premise that sound models for achieving both spiritual fulfillment and the ‘good life’ are lacking in contemporary culture. Arguing that con- temporary education is responsible for having abandoned spirituality and the cultivation of goodness in people, the author advances a definition of spirituality which acknow- ledges an integral connection to education. For the author, spirituality requires that we seek to ‘discover our best selves in learning communities devoted to a higher good’. He explores how spirituality provides an orientation toward a meaningful life and how, in our pursuit of that goal, it gives us a vision of the good life. For the author, this renewed vision of spirituality is necessary to provide the ethical framework so many of us seek; to achieve such a state of spiritual health, he proposes reenergizing liberal 1536-08_SIS18(2008)_19_Book 30-10-2008 13:56 Pagina 382 382 BOOK NOTICES education. In their extreme responses to the spiritual crisis, both relativists and funda- mentalists have misused education as a method for promoting narrow ideological goals and producing individuals ill-equipped to act autonomously. Taking a cue from the golden mean of Aristotle and Maimonides, the author suggests situating education between the subjectivism and relativism of the left and the dogmatism and fundamen- talism of the right. For the author, revitalizing education is a way to correct the misgui- ded notion that extremism is an appropriate response to the spiritual crisis of modern society. This book charts a way to reintegrate ethical and spiritual values with the values of critical thought and reason. Hanan A. Alexander is Head of the Ethics and Educa- tion Project and the Center for Jewish Education, and is Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education, University of Haifa. He is also Visiting Associate Professor in the School of Education, Bar Ilan University, and was editor-in-chief of Religious Education: An Interfaith Journal of Spirituality, Growth, and Transformation from 1991-2000.

Arthur, Rosemary, Pseudo-Dionysius as Polemicist: The Development and Purpose of the Angelic Hierarchy in Sixth Century Syria, Aldershot, Hants; Burlington, VT: Ashgate, 2008 (Ashgate New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies), 226 pages, ISBN: 978-0-7546-6258-7. The anonymous theologian known as Pseudo-Dionysius had a significant influence on mediaeval European mysticism. This book places him in his religious and political context in sixth century Syria, and uncovers the hidden agenda which lies behind his writings. New evidence is presented to establish the dating of the corpus more accura- tely than has been done before. Rather than analysing the minutiae of Dionysius’ thought, Rosemary Arthur focuses on his sources for, and treatment of, the Angelic Hierarchy and the Dazzling Darkness, with a view to ascertaining his motive for writing, his relationship with his opponents and his need to hide his identity. Having originally studied chemistry, Rosemary Arthur later became interested in theology, and returned to London University, obtaining a BD in 1992. This was followed by an MA in Mediaeval English in 1993, specializing in the Anglo-Saxon church. Her doctoral research was carried out at King’s College London under the supervision of Dr Graham Gould and she was awarded a PhD in 1998. At Work: Spirituality Matters / edited by Jerry Biberman and Michael Whitty, Scranton: University of Scranton Press, 2007, XXVIII, 292 pages, ISBN: 978-1-58966-130-1. Making spirituality an integral part of the hectic workday is a key concern for the authors of this work. They offer a number of solutions meant to help integrate these two worlds, all with a common theme – the positive renewal and transformation of both worker and workplace. Carefully avoiding the pat answers of pop psychology, this book is instead an in-depth read for teachers, consultants, and people interested in making their work environment a more healthful and compassionate one. Jerry Biberman is pro- fessor of management at the University of Scranton and is editor of the Journal of Management, Spirituality and Religion. Mike Whitty is professor in the School of Business at University of Detroit Mercy, and heads the Future of Work Institute in Detroit. 1536-08_SIS18(2008)_19_Book 30-10-2008 13:56 Pagina 383 BOOK NOTICES 383 Baker, Don, Korean Spirituality, Honolulu, HI: University of Hawai’i Press, 2008 (Dimensions of Asian Spirituality), 184 pages, ISBN: 978-0-8248-3257-5 (paperback); ISBN: 968-0-8248-3233-9 (cloth). Korea has one of the most dynamic and diverse religious cultures of any nation on earth. Koreans are highly religious, yet no single religious community enjoys dominance. Buddhists share the Korean religious landscape with both Protestant and Catholic Chris- tians as well as with shamans, Confucians, and practitioners of numerous new religions. As a result, Korea is a fruitful site for the exploration of the various manifestations of spirituality in the modern world. At the same time, however, the complexity of the coun- try’s religious topography can overwhelm the novice explorer. Emphasizing the attitudes and aspirations of the Korean people rather than ideology, the author has written an accessible aid to navigating the highways and byways of Korean spirituality. He adopts a broad approach that distinguishes the different roles that folk religion, Buddhism, Confucianism, Christianity, and indigenous new religions have played in Korea in the past and continue to play in the present while identifying commonalities behind that diversity to illuminate the distinctive nature of spirituality on the Korean peninsula. Don Baker teaches Korean civilization in the Department of Asian Studies, University of British Columbia. Barnhart, Bruno, The Future of Wisdom: Toward a Rebirth of Sapiential Christianity, New York: Continuum, 2007, X, 229 pages, ISBN: 978-0-8264-2767-0 (hardcover); ISBN: 978-0-8264-1932-3 (paperback). This is the most ambitious effort so far to communicate the depth and power of the Christian sapiential tradition, or ‘wisdom Christianity’, and the promise of its drama- tic rebirth in our time. While much of the writing of Rahner, von Balthasar, Merton, Bede Griffiths, Abhishiktananda, Leclercq, De Lubac, and Odo Cassel is of this kind, theologians have been slow to connect the dots and to awaken to the organic gestalt of sapiential theology in its unity and vitality. The book shows how the sapiential con- sciousness and its theological expression develop both the unitive depth (or ‘East’) and the historical dynamism (or ‘West’) of the mystery of Christ. The work unfolds in 4 stages: (1) the awakening of sapiential consciousness, (2) the Eastern turn, which opens Christianity to its own unitive (or nondual) core, (3) the Western turn, in which Christian wisdom is first challenged and then regenerated by its encounter with the personal and historical dynamism of the West (expressed in freedom, creativity, criti- cal thinking, and historical progress), and (4) the global turn of postmodernity, glo- bal consciousness, and the world church of Vatican II, in which the unity and inten- tionality of history become visible and understandable in a Christocentric perspective.

The logic of this thesis is twofold, based firstly on the cultural centrality of the theology and practice of the eucharist in early modern England, and secondly on the particular engagement of poets within that social and intellectual context. My study applies this conceptual relationship, what I call “eucharistic poetics,” to English religious and

  • John Calvin and the Brethren of the Common Life
    JOHN CALVIN AND THE BRETHREN OF THE COMMON LIFE KENNETH A. STRAND Andrews University A number of the most prominent leaders in the religious history of western Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries had direct contact with the Catholic reform group known as the Brethren of the Common Life. Such was true, for example, of Desiderius Erasmus and Martin Luther, both of whom during their youth had been students under the Brethren. However, in the case of John Calvin, evidence of similar direct contact with the Brethren is lacking; in fact, this group did not establish any houses, dormitories for students, or schooIs in France and Switzerland, the two countries where Calvin spent most of his fife. Nevertheless, there is evidence that the infiuence of the Brotherhood did reach him in several significant ways. It is the purpose of the present brief essay to provide an overview of two main avenues through which John Calvin quite early in his career came in touch with the ideals and practices fostered by the Brethren of the Common Life: (1)his education at the College of Montaigu in Paris, and (2) his contact with the "Fabrisian Reformers." A third line of influence from that Brotherhood reached him later through his association with such men as Johann Sturm and Martin Bucer in Strassburg, both of whom had had contact with representatives of the Brotherhood. However, this third line of influence deserves separate treatment and hence will not be included hereml 1.

  • Devotion and Obedience: a Devotio Moderna Construction of St Bridget of Sweden in Lincoln Cathedral Chapter Manuscript 114
    Devotion and Obedience: A devotio moderna construction of St Bridget of Sweden in Lincoln Cathedral Chapter Manuscript 114 Sara Danielle Mederos Doctor of Philosophy October 2016 Devotion and Obedience: A devotio moderna construction of St Bridget of Sweden in Lincoln Cathedral Chapter Manuscript 114 Sara Danielle Mederos A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Lincoln for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2016 2 Abstract This thesis analyses the construction of the pious lay female in Lincoln Cathedral Manuscript MS 114, through the example of Saint Bridget of Sweden. MS 114 is a devotional manuscript compiled of nineteen different, individual, articles. These nineteen articles are arranged in two, nearly equal, parts. The first part includes several Birgittine texts whereas the second part provides a more thematic approach, emphasising the virtues of humility, chastity, and overall spiritual obedience. Compiled in the Netherlands, sometime during the early fifteenth century, MS 114’s articles were purposely chosen to form a single compilation and was meant to be read as an enhancement of one’s devotion. By analysing the contents of MS 114, its date and provenance, and putting it in the context of the religious movements of its original time and place, this thesis argues that MS 114 was an early manuscript of the devotio moderna movement; a religious movement which attracted many lay devotees and particular female members and which emphasised the use of literature and, in particular, of written examples of holy, female lay lives. MS 114 uses the life of Bridget of Sweden, other works about her, and extracts from other theological texts to explore two devotio moderna virtues.
