Title: <\/strong>In Love with Islam, Believing in Jesus <\/a>by Richard Kimball, Marie Sala\u00fcn, Masha Refka<\/p>\n\n\n\n Review by: <\/strong>Gavin D’Costa<\/p>\n\n\n\n I end by citing Sidney Griffiths, the great scholar of Eastern Christianity. His acclaim for the book (printed on its cover) is entirely fitting: \u201cAt long last, English-speaking readers now have access to the most comprehensive and insightful account of the vision that inspires the rapprochement and lived interreligious dialogue between Christians and Muslims inaugurated in the life and thought of the late Paolo Dall\u2019Oglio S.J., and the interreligious community of al-Khalil in the monastery of Mar Musa in Syria. This book is \u2018must reading\u2019 for all of us engaged in the dialogue between Muslims and Christians in the spirit of Nostra Aetate and the life and legacy of Louis Massignon\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Featured in: <\/strong>Studies in Theology, Society and Culture Vol. 17<\/p>\n\n\n\n Link: <\/strong>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/00211400241281100a<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Title: <\/strong>The History of Easter Laughter: Johannes Oecolampadius\u2019 \u2018De risu paschali\u2019 from 1518 with an Introduction, Annotated Translation, and an Account of the Cultural, Ecclesiastical, and Theological Transformation of Laughter<\/a> by Benny Grey Schuster <\/p>\n\n\n\n Review by:<\/strong> Ingvild S\u00e6lid Gilhus<\/p>\n\n\n\n “It is an insightful and thorough study of the historical development of Easter laughter and its many aspects, changing views on laughter and religion, and culturally permissible types of humour and laughter. The book combines the author\u2019s learnedness with an entertaining writing style, for Schuster is a lively presence in his own text, and he has written a book that both informs and engages its reader.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Featured in: <\/strong>Temenos – Nordic Journal for the Study of Religion<\/p>\n\n\n\n Link: <\/strong>DOI: 10.33356\/temenos.180999<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Title:<\/strong> Playing on the Edge: Sport, Society and Culture in Asia and Oceania <\/a>by David Rowe, Bonnie Pang, Keith Parry<\/p>\n\n\n\n Review by:<\/strong> Malcolm MacLean (University of Gibraltar\/University of Wales Trinity St David)<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The attention to esports with their disputes over ownership, technology, and intellectual property draws attention to the emerging and intensifying character of late late-capitalist sport, while the discussions of trans- and international sport flows highlight the emerging significance of East Asia and Oceania in the global sport ecosystem. These factors and the insights gained from the use of the notion of the New International Division of Cultural Labour combine to make this an essential addition to critical globalisation studies of sport, disrupting the power of the dominant frames of analysis.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Featured in:<\/strong> idrottsforum.org<\/p>\n\n\n\n Link:<\/strong> https:\/\/idrottsforum.org\/macmal_roweetal260612\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Title:<\/strong> Maryse Cond\u00e9: Ironies, contextes et \u00e9nonciations<\/a> by Daniel Canda Kishala<\/p>\n\n\n\n Review by: <\/strong>Roberto Ferraroni<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Le choix de Canda Kishala de ne travailler que sur une s\u00e9lection de trois romans de Maryse Cond\u00e9 s\u2019est av\u00e9r\u00e9 un bon choix puisqu\u2019il a permis de faire un travail en profondeur sur les textes, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 de nombreux exemples tout en ouvrant une perspective innovante qui concerne l\u2019ensemble de l\u2019\u0153uvre de Cond\u00e9, et pour cette raison int\u00e9resse tous les sp\u00e9cialistes de l\u2019\u00e9crivaine guadeloup\u00e9enne.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Featured in:<\/strong> Rassegna bibliografica<\/p>\n\n\n\n Link:<\/strong> sf208_14_rassegne.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Title:<\/strong> Shirley Jackson: A companion<\/a> by Kristopher Woofter<\/p>\n\n\n\n Review by: <\/strong>Charles William Hoge<\/p>\n\n\n\n “One of the many strengths of this collection is the tendency of every author to explain very effectively the theory they are working with or against within their essays; embedding these thick descriptions of the critical methodologies used allows this collection to function well in an undergraduate or graduate classroom as a productive way for students to encounter theory and read about its practical application. In short, an instructor could use this book as a foundational text for a class that introduces students to literary and film theory, in addition to classes that feature Jackson’s work<\/p>\n\n\n\n Featured in:<\/strong> The Journal of American Culture Volume 47, Issue 3 p. 244<\/p>\n\n\n\n Link:<\/strong> https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/jacc.13569<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Title:<\/strong> \u00abKeeping the Sources Pure\u00bb: The Making of George Mackay Brown <\/a>by Sabine Schmid <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.peterlang.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/easter.webp\")
