A Modern Heretic and a Traditional Community: Mordecai M. Kaplan, Orthodoxy, and American Judaism
by Jeffrey S. Gurock Jacob J. SchacterEncompasses more than previous autobiographies of Kaplan (1881-1983) by considering at length the community he came from, lived in, fought with, and left behind. Follows him from his early days as a member in good standing in the New York Orthodox Jewish community, through his private estrangement and public divorce from Orthodoxy, to his founding of Reconstructionism and many decades as the movement's leader. Queries whether a religious group can learn anything from one of its members who has rejected its most fundamental beliefs. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

A Momentary Glory: Last Poems (Wesleyan Poetry Series)
by Harvey ShapiroThe passionate testament of a brilliant poet in the face of age, illness, and mortality The distinguished poet Harvey Shapiro passed away on January 7, 2013. The poems in this book, many of them previously unpublished and discovered only after his death, are a great gift, and the final confirmation of his extraordinary talent. Edited by Shapiro's literary executor, the poet and critic Norman Finkelstein, these last poems bear an unprecedented gravitas, and yet they are as supple, jazzy, and edgy as Shapiro's earlier work. All the themes for which he is known are beautifully represented here. There are poems of his experiences in World War II, the erotic life, and of daily moments in Brooklyn and Manhattan, all in search of a worldly wisdom and grace that the poet calls "a momentary glory." As Shapiro tells us, the poem "Is an Egyptian / ship of the dead, / everything required / for life stored / in its hold." The book includes an introduction by the editor.

A Monastery in Time: The Making of Mongolian Buddhism
by Caroline Humphrey Hürelbaatar Ujeed"A Monastery in Time" is the first book to describe the life of a Mongolian Buddhist monastery the Mergen Monastery in Inner Mongolia from inside its walls. From the Qing occupation of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries through the Cultural Revolution, Caroline Humphrey and Hurelbaatar Ujeed tell a story of religious formation, suppression, and survival over a history that spans three centuries. Often overlooked in Buddhist studies, Mongolian Buddhism is an impressively self-sustaining tradition whose founding lama, the Third Mergen Gegen, transformed Tibetan Buddhism into an authentic counterpart using the Mongolian language. Drawing on fifteen years of fieldwork, Humphrey and Ujeed show how lamas have struggled to keep Mergen Gegen s vision alive through tremendous political upheaval, and how such upheaval has inextricably fastened politics to religion for many of today s practicing monks. Exploring the various ways Mongolian Buddhists have attempted to link the past, present, and future, Humphrey and Ujeed offer a compelling study of the interplay between the individual and the state, tradition and history.
