Offers a discussion of John Henry Newman's apologetic defence of the place of Marian doctrines and piety within Catholicism. This is achieved through an analysis of the two of Newman's most important apologetic works: the Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine (1845) and Letter to Pusey (1866).

This book presents the first-ever English translation of 'The Open Door to Hidden Paganism', one of the earliest and most detailed studies of South Indian Hinduism.

Graham Harvey's work--from his early publications on British Pagans, his pioneering work on New Animism to most recently the everyday relational model of religion presented in Food, Sex and Strangers--has had an impact on fields as diverse as environmentalism, ritual, indigenous religion, folklore, and beyond academia. Yet there is a clear through-line, as this volume suggests, a concern with personhood, communication and community which bridges the lived religion approach with emerging network- and rhizome-based theoretical models. Harvey has also impacted the field through the growing network of former students and other early career students who have benefited from his support, directly or through the Open University or the British Association for the Study of Religion, and the many scholars with whom he has produced collaborative works. The contributors of this volume are drawn from these networks, to consider and celebrate Graham's contributions to the contemporary study of religion.

The Gospel according to John has a thoroughly juridical character. John reenacts and corrects verdicts against Jesus in trials before Jewish and Roman courts.
