Many historical processes are dynamic. Populations grow and decline. Empires expand and collapse. Religions spread and wither. Natural scientists have made great strides in understanding dynamical processes in the physical and biological worlds using a synthetic approach that combines mathematical modeling with statistical analyses. Taking up the problem of territorial dynamics--why some polities at certain times expand and at other times contract--this book shows that a similar research program can advance our understanding of dynamical processes in history. Peter Turchin develops hypotheses from a wide range of social, political, economic, and demographic factors: geopolitics, factors affecting collective solidarity, dynamics of ethnic assimilation/religious conversion, and the interaction between population dynamics and sociopolitical stability. He then translates these into a spectrum of mathematical models, investigates the dynamics predicted by the models, and contrasts model predictions with empirical patterns. Turchin's highly instructive empirical tests demonstrate that certain models predict empirical patterns with a very high degree of accuracy. For instance, one model accounts for the recurrent waves of state breakdown in medieval and early modern Europe. And historical data confirm that ethno-nationalist solidarity produces an aggressively expansive state under certain conditions (such as in locations where imperial frontiers coincide with religious divides). The strength of Turchin's results suggests that the synthetic approach he advocates can significantly improve our understanding of historical dynamics.

This book considers the professional contribution of John Donne to an emerging homiletic public sphere in the last years of the Jacobean English Church (1621-25), arguing that his sermons embody the conflicts, tensions, and pressures on public religious discourse in this period; while they are in no way 'typical' of any particular preaching agenda or style, they articulate these crises in their most complex forms and expose fault lines in the late Jacobean Church. The study is framed by Donne's two most pointed contributions to the public sphere: his sermon defending James I's Directions to Preachers and his first sermon preached before Charles I in 1625. These two sermons emerge from the crises of controversy, censorship, and identity that converged in the late Jacobean period, and mark Donne's clearest professional interventions in the public debate about the nature and direction of the Church of England. In them, Donne interrogates the boundaries of the public sphere and of his conformity to the institutions, authorities, and traditions governing public debate in that sphere, modelling for his audience an actively engaged conformist identity. Professor JEANNE SHAMI teaches in the Department of English at the University of Regina.

Mit seiner umfassenden und materialreichen Untersuchung leistet der Autor einen gewichtigen Beitrag zur Erforschung der theologischen Aufklärung in Deutschland, insbesondere der Neologie. Er untersucht Biographie und Theologie der beiden Hofprediger Sack vor dem Hintergrund der Auseinandersetzungen über Christentum (vs. La Mettrie), Abendmahl (vs. E. C. Koch; Streit um C. A. Heumann), Toleranz (vs. J. M. Goeze), Heterodoxie (vs. C. F. Bahrdt), Orthodoxie (vs. J. C. Wöllner), Spinozismus (vs. Schleiermacher) und die Union von Lutheranern und Reformierten. With this comprehensive study, the author presents an important contribution to research into the theological enlightenment in Germany, with particular reference to neology. He examines the biographies and theology of the two Court Preachers Sack against the background of the controversies surrounding Christianity (vs. La Mettrie), the Eucharist (vs. E. C. Koch; controversy about C. A. Heumann), tolerance (vs. J. M. Goeze), heterodoxy (vs. C. F. Bahrdt), orthodoxy (vs. J. C. Wöllner), Spinozism (vs. Schleiermacher) and the union of Lutherans and Reformed Protestants.
