Pitts Theology Library

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 Christianity and Culture tract below, and don’t hesitate to make purchase suggestions by visiting pitts.emory.edu/suggest.

Highlights of New Book Acquisitions

Mindfulness as Sustainability: Lessons from the World's Religions by Maria Jaoudi

Jaoudi addresses the need to take care of ourselves intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally during the current global climate crisis. Drawing on teachings from Buddhist, Christian, Daoist, Hindu, Indigenous, Islamic, and Jewish traditions, Jaoudi demonstrates that mindfulness practice (personally and politically) can help mitigate global climate change and rectify environmental injustice.

Intergenerational Catechesis Revitalizing Faith through African-American Storytelling by Timone A. Davis

In the African-American storytelling tradition, both the storyteller and listener are important – they embody the story. In highlighting our connections, Davis invites us to see ourselves and one another across time, through eyes that are young, middle-aged, and elderly.

The Church, Migration, and Global (In)difference by Darren Dias

The essays included in this volume arose out of the ecumenical conference The Church and Migration: Global (In)Difference (2018), hosted by four member schools of the Toronto School of Theology ecumenical consortium.

Religious Hatred: Prejudice, Islamophobia and Antisemitism in Global Context by Paul Hedges

Religious Hatred is an essential guide for understanding the historical origins of religious hatred, the manifestations of this hatred across diverse religious and cultural contexts, and the strategies employed by activists and peacemakers to overcome this hatred.
