Understanding World Religions

An Interdisciplinary Approach

By: Irving Hexham

Globalization and high-speed communication put twenty-first century people in contact with adherents to a wide variety of world religions, but usually, valuable knowledge of these other traditions is limited at best. On the one hand, religious stereotypes abound, hampering a serious exploration of unfamiliar philosophies and practices. On the other hand, the popular idea that all religions lead to the same God or the same moral life fails to account for the distinctive origins and radically different teachings found across the world’s many religions. Understanding World Religions presents religion as a complex and intriguing matrix of history, philosophy, culture, beliefs, and practices. Hexham believes that a certain degree of objectivity and critique is inherent in the study of religion, and he guides readers in responsible ways of carrying this out. Of particular importance is Hexham’s decision to explore African religions, which have frequently been absent from major religion texts. He surveys these in addition to varieties of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Border Crossings

Explorations of an Interdisciplinary Historian : Festschrift for Irving Hexham

By: Irving Hexham

Der britisch-kanadische Religionswissenschaftler Irving Hexham hat sich in seinen wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten oftmals uber die Grenzen seiner Disziplin hinaus mit wichtigen akademischen Forschungsergebnissen zu Wort gemeldet. So wie sein bedeutender Beitrag zur interdisziplinaren wissenschaftlichen Arbeit den Fachwissenschaftlern Achtung und Anerkennung abverlangt, so beeindruckend sind auch die "geographischen Entfernungen" seiner Themen. Wissenschaftler aus aller Welt und aus den verschiedensten Disziplinen haben deshalb ihrem Kollegen eine Festschrift gewidmet. Die dafur angefertigten Studien zeigen nicht nur die grosse Wertschatzung fur den Jubilar, sondern machen auch die Vielfalt des wissenschaftlichen Interesses von Irving Hexham, welches sich um christliche Missions- und Religionsgeschichte im weitesten Sinne gruppiert, deutlich.

Washington Irving: History, Tales & Sketches (LOA #16)

The Sketch Book / A History of New York / Salmagundi / Letters of Jonathan Oldstyle, Gent.

By: Washington Irving

Washington Irving’s career as a writer began obscurely at age seventeen, when his brother’s newspaper published his series of comic reports on the theater, theater-goers, fashions, balls, courtships, duels, and marriages of his contemporary New York, called Letters of Jonathan Oldstyle, Gent. Written in the persona of an elderly gentleman of the old school, these letters captured his fellow townsmen at play in their most incongruous attitudes of simple sophistication. Irving’s next work, Salmagundi, written in collaboration with his brother William and James Kirke Paulding, and published at irregular intervals in 1805–06, continued this roguish style of satire and burlesque. A History of New York, publicized by an elaborate hoax in the local newspapers concerning the disappearance of the elderly “Diedrich Knickerbocker,” turned out to be a wild and hilarious spoof that combined real New York history with political satire. Quickly reprinted in England, it was admired by Walter Scott and Charles Dickens (who carried his copy in his pocket). In later years, as Irving revised and re-revised his History, he softened his gibes at Thomas Jefferson, the Dutch, and the Yankees of New England; this Library of America volume presents the work in its original, exuberant, robust, and unexpurgated form, giving modern readers a chance to enjoy the version that brought him immediate international acclaim. The Sketch Book contains Irving’s two best-loved stories, “Rip Van Winkle” and “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” It also includes many sketches of English country and city life, as well as nostalgic portraits of vanishing traditions, like the old celebrations of Christmas. A writer of great urbanity and poise, acutely sensitive to the nostalgia of a passing age, Washington Irving was a central figure in America’s emergence on the international scene. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.
