The Open Society and Its Complexities marshals formal models and empirical evidence to show that our open society is grounded on the moral foundations of human cooperation originating in our distant evolutionary past, but has built upon these foundation a complex society that requires us to rethink both the nature of moral justification and the meaning ofdemocratic self-governance.

Gustave Doré and the Modern Biblical Imagination explores the role of biblical imagery in modernity, an era that has often been defined through a process of secularization. It does so through the lens of Gustave Doré (1832-83), whose work is among the most reproduced and adapted scriptural imagery in the history of Judeo-Christianity. The book argues that Doré's biblical imagery negotiated the challenges of visualizing the Bible for modernaudiences in both sacred and secular contexts. A set of texts whose veracity and authority were under unprecedented scrutiny in this period, the Bible was at the center of a range of historical, theological, and cultural debates. Gustave Doré is at the nexus of these narratives, as his work established the most pervasivevisual language for biblical imagery in the past two and a half centuries, and constitutes the means by which the Bible has persistently been translated visually.

First Words, Last Words explores the nature of theoretical innovation in scholastic traditions by focusing on a specific controversy regarding scriptural interpretation in sixteenth-century India. The controversy concerns the role of sequence-what comes first and what comes later-in determining our interpretation of a scriptural passage. Bronner and McCrea trace both the issue of sequence and the question of innovation through an in-depth study of thisdebate and through a comparative survey of similar problems in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, revealing that the disputants in this controversy often pretended to uphold traditional views, when they were in fact radically innovative.

This thought-provoking and ambitious book is a sustained critique of the conventional understanding of what it means to "explain" something in the social sciences.

In Metaphors of Eucharistic Presence: Language, Cognition, and the Body and Blood of Christ, Stephen R. Shaver brings together the fields of cognitive linguistics and liturgical theology to propose a new approach to the ecumenically controversial issue of eucharistic presence. Drawing from the work of cognitive linguists such as George Lakoff, Gilles Fauconnier, and Mark Turner, and theologians such as Robert Masson and John Sanders, Shaver argues that thereis no clear division between literal and figurative language: rather, human cognition is grounded in sensorimotor experience, and phenomena such as metaphor and conceptual blending are basic building blocks of thought. Complex realities are ordinarily understood by means of more than one metaphor. Inheritedmodels of eucharistic presence, then, are not necessarily mutually exclusive but can serve as complementary members of a shared ecumenical repertoire.

Overturning centuries of scholarship that imagined life in the Roman world as happening only in society, Aaron J.

Useful Objects examines the cultural history of nineteenth-century American museums through the eyes of writers, visitors, and collectors. Throughout this period, museums gradually transformed from encyclopedic cabinets to more specialized public institutions. These changes prompted wider debates about how museums determine what objects to select, preserve, and display-and who gets to decide. Drawing on a wide range of archival materials and accounts infiction, guidebooks, and periodicals, Useful Objects shows how the challenges facing nineteenth-century museums continue to resonate in debates about their role in American culture today.
