Kabbalah: A Medieval Tradition and Its Modern Appeal<\/a> “Although scholarship on kabbalah has flourished in the twentieth century, kabbalah has become a variant of New-Age religions, accessible to all, regardless of ethnic identity or spiritual readiness.” Indian Buddhist Preachers Inside and Outside the Sutras<\/a> “This article explores a few portraits of preachers painted in the Buddhist s\u016btra corpus, and attempts to draw provisional conclusions regarding the impact of such portraits on Buddhist preachers\u2019 own conceptions of doctrinal authority.” The Neglected Social Psychology of Institutional Racism<\/a> “These issues can be illuminated by critically reviewing how theories of institutional racism and institutionalized discrimination handle issues of social psychology. Issues of social psychology are often treated only minimally or implicitly, and often dismissively.” Understanding Contemporary Millenarian Violence<\/a> “…focusing on the key recurring characteristics and dynamics that have been highlighted by commentators as playing a significant role in both predisposing millenarian groups to volatility\/violence…” Views of Jihad Throughout History<\/a> “The essay traces the transformations in the meanings of jihad \u2013 and the related concepts of martyr and martyrdom \u2013 from the earliest period of Islam through the late medieval period and down to our present time.” How to Use Modern Critical Editions of Medieval Latin Texts<\/a> “To use these editions effectively, we must be aware of the theories, assumptions, and conventions that underlie them.” ————————————————————————————————————– Subject Guides<\/b> Classics<\/a> \/\/ Islamic Studies<\/a> \/\/ Jewish Studies<\/a> \/\/ Philosophy<\/a> \/\/ Religion<\/a> ————————————————————————————————————–<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
