Das Buch befasst sich mit der jüdischen Geschichte und Gegenwart in Deutschland seit 1989. Im Mittelpunkt steht eine quantitativ und qualitativ geführte Studie, in der junge russischsprachige Jüdinnen und Juden sich über ihr Verhältnis zu Deutschland und Israel, sowie über familiär geprägte Erinnerungskulturen äußern und über ihre Erfahrungen als »Russen« und Juden in der deutschen Einwanderungsgesellschaft sprechen, über soziale Aufstiege und Diskriminierungen. Zur Sprache kommt ihr Verständnis vom Judentum, von mehrheitlich säkular geprägten Lebensentwürfen, aber auch von religiöser Suche, sowie alte und neue Formen jüdischer Vergemeinschaftung. Zeugen diese Schilderungen von einem Wandel jüdischen Lebens in Deutschland, so zeigt ein historisch vergleichender Blick in die besonderen Bedingtheiten der jüdischen Nachkriegsgemeinschaft in Deutschland, dass alteingesessene und neu zugewanderte Juden möglicherweise mehr miteinander teilen, als sie bislang angenommen haben.

Through a Glass Darkly is a collection of essays by scholars who argue that Baptists are frequently misrepresented, by outsiders as well as insiders, as members of an unchanging monolithic sect. In contemporary discussions of religious denominations, it is often fashionable and easy to make bold claims regarding the history, beliefs, and practices of certain groups. Select versions of Baptist history have been used to vindicate incomplete or inaccurate assertions, attitudes, and features of Baptist life and thought. Historical figures quickly be

More than anywhere else in the Western world, religious attachments in America are quite flexible, with over 40 percent of U.S. citizens shifting their religious identification at least once in their lives. In Changing Faith, Darren E. Sherkat draws on empirical data from large-scale national studies to provide a comprehensive portrait of religious change and its consequences in the United States. With analysis spanning across generations and ethnic groups, the volume traces the evolution of the experience of Protestantism and Catholicism in the United States, the dramatic growth of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam, and the rise of non-identification, now the second most common religious affiliation in the country. Drawing on that wealth of data, it details the impact of religious commitments on broad arenas of American social life, including family and sexuality, economic well-being, political commitments, and social values. Exploring religious change among those of European heritage as well as of Eastern and Western European immigrants, African Americans, Asians, Latin Americans, and Native Americans, Changing Faith not only provides a comprehensive and ethnically inclusive demographic overview of the juncture between religion and ethnicity within both the private and public sphere, but also brings empirical analysis back to the sociology of religion.

"While the last four years has seen a renewed interest in dress in biblical studies, much of this work focuses on dress as object-what it is, looks like, and who wears it. In consequence, the symbolic and rhetorical function of dress in metaphors is often reduced to its function in "real life." In response, this study bridges the conversation from what dress is to what dress is doing. By focusing on dress as subject and a concept, this study identifies constellations that hold prophetic metaphors of the investiture/divestiture of dress together with respect to identity formation/deformation, suffering, and destruction"--
