An Introduction to Religious and Theological Studies, Second Edition

World Religions

“This second, revised and expanded edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the origins, Scriptures, and history of Christianity, first in relation to the Abrahamic faiths (Judaism and Islam), and then in the larger setting of traditional African and Asian religions and spiritualities. As such, the work is a much-needed survey of world religions from a contemporary, global perspective. The chapters on Augustine and Thomas Aquinas are especially to be commended for insights into their original historical and cultural contexts, followed by a judicious critique of their influence on subsequent theological developments.”

The Book of Jeremiah

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Joy Schroeder’s introduction alone in this volume is an outstanding guide to the history of medieval biblical interpretation in all its variety and surprising originality. Her translations are clear, readable, and accessible, while faithfully conveying the distinct voice of each medieval author. Finally, the notes and bibliography provide up-to-date resources for further study.”
