Why would anyone seek out the very experience the rest of us most wish to avoid? Why would religious worshipers flog or crucify themselves, sleep on spikes, hang suspended by their flesh, or walk for miles through scorching deserts with bare and bloodied feet?. In this insightful new book, Ariel Glucklich argues that the experience of ritual pain, far from being a form of a madness or superstition, contains a hidden rationality and can bring about a profound transformation of the consciousness and identity of the spiritual seeker. Steering a course between purely cultural and purely biological

Pain, Passion and Faith: Revisiting the Place of Charles Wesley in Early Methodism is a significant study of the 18th-century poet and preacher Charles Wesley. Wesley was an influential figure in 18th-century English culture and society; he was co-founder of the Methodist revival movement and one of the most prolific hymn-writers in the English language.

The Suffering Self is a ground-breaking, interdisciplinary study of the spread of Christianity across the Roman empire. Judith Perkins shows how Christian narrative representation in the early empire worked to create a new kind of human self-understanding - the perception of the self as sufferer. Drawing on feminist and social theory, she addresses the question of why forms of suffering like martyrdom and self-mutilation were so important to early Christians.This study crosses the boundaries between ancient history and the study of early Christianity, seeing Christian representati

Face aux assauts ou à la présence lancinante de la douleur, le mot d'ordre est aujourd'hui de la combattre par tous les moyens, et ils sont de plus en plus efficaces. Cette lutte n'accepte plus les renoncements et les défaillances. Elle refuse plus encore quelque justification que ce soit qui prétendrait donner un " sens " à la souffrance, comme si une telle quête ne faisait que démobiliser patients et soignants, qu'encourager le fatalisme ou, pire encore, le masochisme. Prenant au sérieux ces défis, des hommes et des femmes qui travaillent comme médecins, infirmiers, psychothérapeutes, philosophes, théologiens, ont confronté leurs pratiques et leurs questions lors d'un colloque interdisciplinaire, tenu en 1999 à l'Université catholique de Lyon conjointement par le Centre de bioéthique et la Faculté de théologie. Cet ouvrage contient l'ensemble des interventions qui ont apporté des expériences de praticiens et des réflexions plus théoriques. Elles se croisent sur le questionnement suivant : si on refuse le postulat utopique que seule une existence enfin libérée de toute forme de douleur serait vraiment et pleinement humaine, que pouvons-nous construire sur la conviction que la vie doit être vécue telle qu'elle se donne à chacun, en combattant contre les causes de la douleur et en résistant aux effets mortifères du souffrir ? Ces approches plurielles ne cherchent donc pas à donner la réponse à la question du sens de la souffrance. Elles invitent plutôt les sujets en relation les uns avec les autres à s'ouvrir, y compris à travers l'épreuve, à la vérité de ce qu'est vivre pour les humains.
