The Political Lives of Saints

Christian-Muslim Mediation in Egypt

By: Angie Heo

Since the Arab Spring in 2011 and ISIS’s rise in 2014, Egypt’s Copts have attracted attention worldwide as the collateral damage of revolution and as victims of sectarian strife. Countering the din of persecution rhetoric and Islamophobia, The Political Lives of Saints journeys into the quieter corners of divine intercession to consider what martyrs, miracles, and mysteries have to do with the routine challenges faced by Christians and Muslims living together under the modern nation-state. Drawing on years of extensive fieldwork, Angie Heo argues for understanding popular saints as material media that organize social relations between Christians and Muslims in Egypt toward varying political ends. With an ethnographer’s eye for traces of antiquity, she deciphers how long-cherished imaginaries of holiness broker bonds of revolutionary sacrifice, reconfigure national sites of sacred territory, and pose sectarian threats to security and order. A study of tradition and nationhood at their limits, The Political Lives of Saints shows that Coptic Orthodoxy is a core domain of minoritarian regulation and authoritarian rule, powerfully reversing the recurrent thesis of its impending extinction in the Arab Muslim world.

Praying with the Senses

Contemporary Orthodox Christian Spirituality in Practice

By: Vlad Naumescu,Jeffers Engelhardt,Angie Heo,Jeanne Kormina,Tom Boylston,Daria Dubovka,Simion Pop

“These essays advance the understanding of Eastern Orthodox spiritual practices from a religious studies perspective.”—Reading Religion How do people experience spirituality through what they see, hear, touch, and smell? In this book, Sonja Luehrmann and an international group of scholars assess how sensory experience shapes prayer and ritual practice among Eastern Orthodox Christians. Prayer, even when performed privately, is considered as a shared experience and act that links individuals and personal beliefs with a broader, institutional, or imagined faith community. It engages with material, visual, and aural culture including icons, relics, candles, pilgrimage, bells, and architectural spaces. Whether touching upon the use of icons in the age of digital and electronic media, the impact of Facebook on prayer in Ethiopia, or the implications of praying using recordings, amplifiers, and loudspeakers, these timely essays present a sophisticated overview of the history of Eastern Orthodox Christianities. Taken as a whole they reveal prayer as a dynamic phenomenon in the devotional and ritual lives of Eastern Orthodox believers across Eastern Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. “Precisely by looking at so varied a group of locations home to Orthodox practice, this book conveys the fragility―and durability―of traditional religion in a postmodern, secular age.”—Nadieszda Kizenko, author of A Prodigal Saint: Father John of Kronstadt and the Russian People

New Paradigms for Shang Han Lun

Integrating Korean Sasang Constitutional Medicine and Japanese Kampo Medicine

By: Angie Kim

New paradigms for Shang Han Lun Integrating Korean Sasang Constitutional Medicine and Japanese Kampo Medicine Here are two outstanding clinical methodologies for the prescription of traditional Asian herbal medicine that have been practiced in China, Korea, and Japan but not fully adopted in traditional Asian medical education in the US. These two can be indicators in prescribing formulas based on Shang Han Lun, one from the individual constitutional perspective of Dr. Lee Jema and the other from the single herbal functional perspective of Dr. Todo Yoshimas. The author believes these are crucial clues to putting together all the pieces of the vast information in Asian herbal formula practice, yet need to be further studied and proved in clinical settings. Her clinical case studies are also added after the introduction of Dr. Lee and Dr. Todos studies. These clinical cases will provide herbal practitioners with stepping stones on the journey to mastering Asian Medicine. This book provides; - How to identify four different body types based on Korean Sasang Constitutional Medicine - The keys to use the right formula for the right person - An introduction to the unique theories and formulas of Sasang Constitutional Medicine - An introduction to Yakucho, which is the list of the indications and pharmacologic effects for various herbs that were used in Shang Han Lun and Jin Gui Yao Lue - Clinical case studies that show how to use Sasang Constitutional formulas and Shang Han Lun formulas based on SCM theories and Yakucho - Kang Ping Shang Han Lun, which is the closest edition to the original, translated delivering the meaning more accurately by distinguishing big letters from small letters as in the original text
