Pitts Theology Library

June 2021
Greetings from Pitts Theology Library!

It goes without saying that the extensive and diverse collection at Pitts is due in part to the institution’s continuing conversation with Candler and Emory’s students, faculty, and staff. Our acquisitions should first and foremost support the present and future teaching, research, and service missions of the Candler School of Theology, as well as those of the Graduate Division of Religion and Emory University.

In consideration of the above, Pitts is expanding its reach about ongoing acquisitions and new resources by providing each tract with monthly reports via the New Acquisitions Newsletter.

Please find newly released resources in the History and Interpretation of Christianity tract below, and don’t hesitate to make purchase suggestions by visiting pitts.emory.edu/suggest.

Highlights of New Book Acquisitions

Flesh of the Word: The Extra Calvinisticum from Zwingli to Early Orthodoxy by K.J. Drake

This book explores the emergence and development of the extra Calvinisticum in the Reformed tradition by tracing its exposition from Ulrich Zwingli to early Reformed orthodoxy.

Divine Accounting: Theo-Economics in Early Christianity by Jennifer A. Quigley

Divine Accounting addresses overlapping themes of poverty, labor, social status, suffering, cosmology, and eschatology in material evidence from the ancient Mediterranean and early Christian texts.

Third-Party Peacemakers in Judaism: Text, Theory, and Practice by Daniel Roth
Oxford University Press

Based upon the author's experiences in conflict resolution education, trainings, and third-party religious peacemaking in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Third-Party presents practical implications for mediation and peacemaking in both interpersonal and intergroup conflicts today.

Religious Toleration in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Age by Albrecht Classen
Peter Lang

More than ever before do we need the critical engagement with religious tolerance. Historical perspectives allow us to gain access to the discourse on this universal, often very contested topic. This anthology opens new perspectives, adding a cultural-historical, religious, literary, and philosophical dimension.
