Quran Commentary and the Biblical Turn (de Gruyter, 2024) examines the exegetical relationship between the Quran and the Bible in Islamic intellectual history. As the two have been called "intertwined scriptures" due to the Quran's frequent invocation of biblical narratives and figures, a question is raised: what is the history of Muslims' exegetical engagement with the biblical text? Through a survey of 179 Quran commentaries, the book establishes itself with foundations in the longitudinal history of the Bible in Quranic exegesis. From that point, the book offers detailed case studies and historical contextualisation of the history of the use of the Biblical text in Quranic commentaries, which culminated in a “Biblical turn” in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. This Biblical Turn, which had global influences and impacts, did not only generate new Muslim views of the Bible but even new interpretations of the Quran itself. Quran Commentary and the Biblical Turn makes interventions in several fields, including Quranic Studies and Biblical reception studies, as well as sub-fields of Islamic Studies focusing on tafsir and Islam in modernity. The book was awarded the BRAIS–De Gruyter Prize in the Study of Islam and the Muslim World. Samuel Ross is an Associate Professor at Texas Christian University in Dallas, Texas, USA.

Just weeks after October 7, 2023—the worst moment in Jewish history since the Holocaust—Pastor Jeff Durbin of Apologia Studios released a video discussing the massacre. In it, he argued that Jewish people who do not believe in Jesus are not truly Jewish and are not God's chosen people. Instead, he claimed that Christians are the true Jews—that Christians are Israel. Through this video, Pastor Jeff Durbin fuels and spreads antisemitism. The video you are about to watch is a Messianic Jewish response, correcting the gross errors Pastor Jeff makes and offering a careful exegesis of the biblical passages he misuses to support his claims.0:00 – Responding to Pastor Jeff Durbin taking advantage of October 7th to promote replacement theology7:00 – Showing why Pastor Jeff Durbin's interpretation of Romans 2.27–29 is incorrect and exegeting the text 26:53 – Responding to Pastor Jeff Durbin's antisemitic comments29:43 – Showing why Pastor Jeff Durbin's interpretation of Romans 9:6 is incorrect and exegeting the text46:24 – What God says about Israel in the Tanakh 47:31 – What Paul says about Israel Original clip You can also watch on our YouTube channelFollow us on Social Media: FacebookInstagramIf you are looking for a way to support us and gain early access to our content, you can become a monthly supporter on Subscribestar We also have: PayPal___________________________ Resources:David J.

Wat doet een grote vastgoedbelegger als APG in een tijd van economische onzekerheid, strengere regelgeving en klimaatrisico's? Deze aflevering in het kort: ☑️ Robert-Jan Foortse ziet de VS nog niet als een rode vlag ☑️ Klimaatrisico's spelen steeds grotere rol in vastgoedstrategie van APG ☑️ Adviesgroep STOER wil hoger beroep bij omgevingsvergunning schrappen Robert-Jan Foortse is hoofd Europees vastgoed bij APG, dat de pensioengelden van ABP beheert. Hij geeft in deze aflevering een exclusief inkijkje in het vastgoedbeleid van Nederlands grootste pensioenbelegger. In hun pot zit 500 miljard euro aan beheerd vermogen, zo'n 10 procent daarvan zit in stenen. Wat is de strategie, welke vastgoedsectoren zijn interessant en wat moet er gebeuren om Nederland aantrekkelijk te houden voor institutionele beleggers? Foortse legt uit hoe het fonds omgaat met stijgende rentes, onvoorspelbaar beleid en strengere duurzaamheidsregels. Luister ook | Bas van Veggel: een duizendpoot in het vastgoed Natuurlijk gaat het ook over de Nederlandse woningmarkt. Pensioenfonds ABP trekt de komende jaren 5 miljard euro uit voor de bouw van betaalbare huurwoningen, met huurprijzen tussen de 650 en 950 euro per maand. Met deze investeringen wil ABP naar eigen zeggen nadrukkelijk een maatschappelijke rol vervullen. Een deel van dat geld is al belegd, via projecten met Bouwinvest en Greystar. Foortse laat in het gesprek doorschemeren dat er snel nieuwe projecten bekendgemaakt worden. Luister ook | Huib Boissevain: een uitgesproken vastgoedman Maarten de Gruyter is voorzichtig positief over het rapport van de adviesgroep STOER. Dat spaart heilige huisjes niet in hun conceptrapport over het versnellen van de woningbouw. Zo moet er straks geen hoger beroep meer mogelijk zijn bij omgevingsvergunningen voor woningbouw. Ook pleit de adviesgroep voor bouwen langs het IJsselmeer en in de uiterwaarden.

Het kan best aantrekkelijk zijn om als Nederlandse vastgoedbelegger de grens over te steken richting België. Maar wat zijn de verschillen met Nederland, hoe zit het met de regels en hoe stabiel zijn investeringen in bedrijfspanden?Deze aflevering in het kort:☑️ Een blik op de vastgoedmarkt in België☑️ De status aparte van de kantorenmarkt in Brussel☑️ Sjoemelen met energielabels, het gebeurt nog steedsDe Belgische vastgoedmarkt lijkt in veel opzichten op die in Nederlands. Toch zijn er zeker ook een paar opvallende verschillen. Die gaan bijvoorbeeld over de duur van huurcontracten in de kantorenmarkt van Brussel, de wijze waarop energielabels worden toegekend en de snelheid van vergunningstrajecten. Te gast is Kim Verdonck, head of research bij CBRE België. Hij legt uit waarom de Brusselse kantorenmarkt zo interessant is voor beleggers. De Europese instanties zorgen voor een continue vraag naar hoogwaardig vastgoed, waarbij het niet ongebruikelijk is om huurcontracten van 20 jaar of langer af te sluiten.

Een energielabel zegt veel over de duurzaamheid van je woning of bedrijfspand. Maar wat is het écht waard? En hoe kom je van label C naar A? Deze aflevering in het kort:☑️ Maarten den Ouden van Ecocert vertelt over certificeringstraject ☑️ Met deze quick wins krijg je je pand van energielabel C naar A☑️ The Economist: trage vergunningstrajecten zorgen voor huurstijgingenEnergielabels: ooit begonnen als een vrijblijvend advies, nu een bepalende factor in de waarde en verkoopbaarheid van vastgoed. Sinds 2021 moeten huiseigenaren en vastgoedeigenaren verplicht een officiële inspectie laten doen om hun energielabel te krijgen. Voor kantoren geldt zelfs dat ze zonder minimaal label C eigenlijk niet meer gebruikt mogen worden. Daar wordt door de autoriteiten inmiddels ook op gecontroleerd. Maar wat betekent zo’n label in de praktijk? En hoe maak je van een energieverslindend pand een duurzaam gebouw?

Luister ook | Frank van Gool ontwikkelt woonconcepten voor arbeidsimmigranten In deze aflevering van Vastgoed Gezocht duiken we in de wereld van energielabels met Maarten den Ouden van Ecocert. We bespreken hoe een inspectie werkt, welke maatregelen het meeste opleveren en hoeveel een verbetering van energielabel E naar A gemiddeld kost. Ook kijken we naar de invloed op de waarde van vastgoed. Want is een pand zonder goed label straks nog wel verkoopbaar? Daarnaast gaat het over zogeheten Paris Proof-certificaten. Die gaan een stap verder dan energielabels en meten niet alleen hoe energiezuinig een gebouw is, maar ook hoeveel energie het daadwerkelijk verbruikt. Met als doel? Vastgoed klaarstomen voor een toekomst waarin gebouwen nauwelijks nog CO2 uitstoten en volledig in lijn zijn met de Parijsdoelen van 2050. Luister ook | Astrid Schlüter (Vesteda) wil 10-jarenplan voor woningmarkt Maarten de Gruyter haalt een opiniërend artikel uit The Economist aan. In veel westerse landen schieten huurprijzen omhoog, ondanks pogingen van overheden om huurders te beschermen. Beleidsmaatregelen zoals huurplafonds en extra belastingen op verhuurders pakken vaak averechts uit: verhuurders trekken zich terug uit de markt, waardoor het aanbod verder daalt. De kern van het probleem is een structureel woningtekort, veroorzaakt door jarenlange bouwbeperkingen. Alleen door meer te bouwen kan de druk op de huurmarkt echt worden verlicht.

Wordt Schiphol in de toekomst een woonwijk? Planoloog Zef Hemel pleit voor een radicale aanpak: verplaats de luchthaven naar Flevoland en bouw tienduizenden woningen op de huidige locatie.Deze aflevering in het kort: ☑️ Hoogleraar Zef Hemel pleit voor de verhuizing van Schiphol☑️ Grootschalige woonlocaties in Nederland, hoe staan we ervoor?☑️ Nederlandse vastgoedprojecten vallen in de prijzen in CannesSchiphol is één van de drukste luchthavens van Europa. Maar wat als we dit gebied niet langer zien als een plek voor vliegtuigen, maar als een oplossing voor de woningnood? Planoloog Zef Hemel voelt daar wel wat voor en pleit voor een radicale verandering: het verplaatsen van Schiphol naar Flevoland en het omvormen van de 2800 hectare grote locatie tot een nieuw woon- en werkgebied. ‘Dit biedt allerlei voordelen’, vertelt Hemel. ‘Luister ook | Hoe de VVD de woningmarkt wil vlottrekkenDe woningcrisis dwingt Nederland volgens hem om creatief te kijken naar nieuwe bouwlocaties. Met name rond Amsterdam is de ruimte schaars en de vraag enorm. Hemel ziet Schiphol dan ook als een unieke kans: goed ontsloten, al bestaande infrastructuur en dichtbij economische centra. Maar is dit realistisch? Wat zijn de ruimtelijke en politieke uitdagingen? En hoeveel zou zo’n megaproject kosten? Andere steden gingen Schiphol trouwens al voor. Luchthavens zoals Tempelhof (Berlijn), Kai Tak (Hongkong) en Zürich zijn succesvol getransformeerd naar woon- en werkgebieden. Luister ook | En de waardestijging dan? (opinie)Maarten de Gruyter komt net terug van de Mipim in Cannes. Drie Nederlandse vastgoedprojecten vielen daar in de prijzen: het concept Wonderwood van ontwikkelaar G&S&, The Hive (een duurzaam nieuwbouwproject in Amsterdam Nieuw-West) en de campus van Booking.com, bij Amsterdam CS. Maarten windt zich op over het wegblijven van veel bestuurders. ‘Hier zit het grote geld dat we hard nodig hebben om nieuwe woningen in Nederland te ontwikkelen. Dan is het gek dat de gemeenten Amsterdam en Utrecht én de landelijke overheid geen enkele afvaardiging hebben gestuurd.’ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Je huis kopen, maar niet de grond eronder bezitten. Dat noemen we erfpacht. Er klinkt al jaren veel kritiek op dit systeem waarbij gemeenten huuropbrengsten vragen.Deze aflevering in het kort:⇨ Wat is erfpacht en met welke bedoeling werd het ooit gestart?⇨ De houdbaarheid van dit systeem in Nederland⇨ Gemeenteraad Rotterdam akkoord met twee nieuwe woontorens Voor heel wat Nederlanders is erfpacht de realiteit. Vooral in steden als Amsterdam en Den Haag spelen erfpachtconstructies een grote rol. Maar hoe toekomstbestendig is dit systeem nog? De kritiek groeit, vooral door stijgende erfpachtcanons en onzekerheid voor huiseigenaren. In deze aflevering bespreken we de toekomst van erfpacht met Michiel de Koe. Hij is rentmeester bij LBP|SIGHT en auteur van het boek: de waarde van erfpacht.Luister ook | Bas van Veggel: een duizendpoot in het vastgoedIn het gesprek legt De Koe uit waar erfpacht vandaan komt en wat de oorspronkelijke gedachte erachter was. Gemeenten zagen het als een manier om grip te houden op grondgebruik en tegelijkertijd inkomsten te genereren. Maar door de stijgende grondprijzen is erfpacht voor veel huiseigenaren een steeds grotere kostenpost geworden. Wat betekent dit voor de waarde van woningen en hoe verschilt het Nederlandse systeem van erfpacht met dat in andere landen?

Er komen in totaal 1.730 nieuwe woningen en daarnaast worden er twee nieuwe hotels gebouwd. De toren in het Rise-project moet 275(!) meter hoog worden, na de Zalmhaventoren de hoogste toren van Rotterdam. Maarten de Gruyter vraagt zich af of de ontwikkelaars deze businesscase rond krijgen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De rode draad door alle wilde manoeuvres van Donald Trump is zijn ambitie om de politieke verhoudingen op wereldschaal fundamenteel te veranderen. Hij wil daartoe een deal sluiten met Vladimir Poetin en dan samen met Xi Jinping. En daarbij zijn Volodymyr Zelensky en de Europese Unie alleen maar lastige obstakels. Maar hoe doe je zoiets? Hoe krijg je de 'grootmachten' bij elkaar en kom je tot een succesvol machtsevenwicht? Daarvan kent de wereldgeschiedenis een zeldzaam en uniek voorbeeld. Het Congres van Wenen in 1814-1815 bracht de allergrootste heersers in Europa en wereldwijd bijeen. Keizers, koningen, de tsaar en hun diplomaten streken neer langs de Donau en palaverden. Een leerzaam en inspirerend relaas. Met tal van waarschuwingen uit de finesses van het spel om de macht.‘Wenen' mondde uit in een groot verdrag dat de kaart van Europa geheel opnieuw tekende. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger vertellen het verhaal van maanden van onderhandelen, spioneren, sjoemelen en ‘the art of the deal'. ***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***We weten heel veel over Wenen van toen. Dankzij brieven, dagboeken, spionageverslagen en memoires van even kleurrijke als briljante mensen die zich met het machtsspel bemoeiden. Een van hen was een Belgische prins die de lieveling was van de Weense salons, iedereen kende en met ze roddelde: Charles-Joseph de Ligne. Een ander de Pruisische geleerde en ambassadeur Wilhelm von Humboldt, bevriend met Goethe. En de sluwe ras-opportunist Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, die evengoed koningen en keizers diende als de revolutie.Zo kunnen we op de voet volgen hoe de sleutelfiguur van dit Congres - gastheer Klemens von Metternich - alles zo organiseerde, dat hij de spin in het web was en bleef. Hij zorgde dat het eindresultaat een groot succes werd. Zijn slotverklaring en het verdrag zorgden decennia voor rust en vrede. Daar zijn dan ook belangrijke lessen uit te trekken voor de grootmachten van 2025. Heeft Trump een idee van zo'n wereldwijd machtsevenwicht of zit hij vast in denken over vazallen en het uitruilen van territoria, van Panama tot Groenland en van de Donbas tot Taiwan?Hebben Poetin en Trump basisbeginselen voor een wereldwijd akkoord die leidt tot een nieuwe balans? Metternich had dat en warempel lijkt Xi Jinping nog het meest op hem. Het Congres van Wenen was niet alleen hard werken aan politiek en diplomatie. Het was het ultieme society event. Gekroonde hoofden, kunstenaars, spionnen, charmante dames en journalisten werden door Metternich en het frivole hofleven van Wenen vermaakt met eindeloos entertainment. Bals, opera, banketten, jachtpartijen en salons volgden elkaar maandenlang op. “Hoe loopt het congres? Het congres loopt niet, het danst”, klonk het lachend. Zelfs Beethoven pikte er een graantje van mee! Door een doordachte en innovatieve, rationele organisatie van de onderhandelingen lukte het Metternich om alle neuzen dezelfde kant op te krijgen. De tsaar, het Britse Empire en Habsburg kregen wat zij ambieerden. Pruisen werd een nieuwe grootmacht en ondanks Napoleons nederlaag werd Frankrijk als belangrijk land in ere hersteld. Niemand van de grootmachten bleef gefrustreerd en wraakzuchtig achter. De slachtoffers van destijds zijn verbluffend actueel: Polen, Moldavië, de Balten, Oekraïne, Italië en vooruitstrevende Duitse idealisten. Zo valt er voor ons in 2025 van alles te leren nu de grote wereldspelers als in Wenen toen een nieuw machtsevenwicht lijken te willen opleggen. Heeft de EU haar ambities en rol op orde hierbij?

Mass violence comes not only from states, but also from people. By analyzing mass violence as social interaction through survivor accounts and other sources, Conditions of Violence (de Gruyter, 2024) presents understudied agents, aims and practices of direct violence and ways of action of those under persecution. Sound history – examining the noises of mass violence and persecution – is particularly telling about such practices. This volume shows that violence can become socially hegemonic, and some people claim a freedom to kill as a political right. To scrutinize indirect violence, which is often imperialist in character and claims many victims, the book proposes the concept of conditions of violence. These conditions are produced by definable groups of actors and foreseeably harm definable groups (which differs from the anonymous and static ‘structural violence'). This is exemplified in a case study concerning famines in World War II and another on COVID-19 as mass violence. Less global in character, other case studies in this volume deal with Rwanda, Bangladesh/East Pakistan and the Soviet Union. Learn more about your ad choices.

The main objective of Re-Constructing Grassroots Holocaust Memory: The Case of the North Caucasus (de Gruyter, 2020) is to locate the grass roots initiatives of remembering the Holocaust victims in a particular region of Russia which has a very diverse ethnic structure and little presence of Jews at the same time. It aims to find out how such individual initiatives correspond to the official Russian hero-orientated concept of remembering the Second World war with almost no attention to the memory of war victims, including Holocaust victims. North Caucasus became the last address of thousands of Soviet Jews, both evacuees and locals. While there was almost no attention paid to the Holocaust victims in the official Soviet propaganda in the postwar period, local activists and historians together with the members of Jewish communities preserved Holocaust memory by installing small obelisks at the killing sites, writing novels and making documentaries, teaching about the Holocaust at schools and making small thematic exhibitions in the local and school museums. Individual types of grass roots activities in the region on remembering Holocaust victims are analyzed in each chapter of the book. Learn more about your ad choices.

Minder regels in de ruimtelijke ordening. Eerdere pogingen om dat te bereiken liepen op mislukkingen uit. Maar als het aan Mona Keijzer lukt het deze keer wél.Deze aflevering in het kort:⇨ Gemeenten komen met ideeën voor minder regels⇨ De Zeeuw wil bezwaarprocedures verkorten⇨ Maarten maakt gehakt van bouwplan SPOm gebiedsontwikkeling sneller en goedkoper te maken, lanceerde de minister het programma STOER: het Schappen van Tegenstrijdige en Overbodige Eisen en Regelgeving. Een adviesgroep onder leiding van emeritus hoogleraar Friso de Zeeuw buigt zich over de vraag welke regels overbodig zijn en hoe lokale overheden hiermee om moeten gaan. Gemeenten hebben inmiddels hun voorstellen ingediend. De Zeeuw verwacht de eerste concrete resultaten in het voorjaar aan het kabinet te kunnen presenteren.Luister ook | bedrijventerreinen moeten sneuvelen voor woningbouwHet klinkt simpel: schaf wat regels af en de woningbouw neemt toe. Maar het schrappen van regels stuit op weerstand. Minder regelgeving betekent namelijk niet automatisch betere ruimtelijke plannen. In deze aflevering bespreken we met Friso de Zeeuw welke regels in de bouw en ruimtelijke ordening ter discussie staan en hoe eerdere pogingen om regelgeving te verminderen zijn verlopen. Ook kijken we naar de invloed van lokale overheden, de rol van duurzaamheidsnormen en de praktische gevolgen voor projectontwikkelaars en gemeenten.Luister ook | De opknapbeurt van een winkelstraat in vervalMona Keijzer presenteerde afgelopen week haar plannen voor het aanscherpen van de wet regie Volkshuisvesting. Die dateert nog van het vorige kabinet. Keijzer wil gaan snoeien in bezwaarprocedures.Het moet ook makkelijker worden om op je eigen erf een woning te bouwen voor kinderen of opa of oma. Daarnaast krijgen gemeenten en provincies meer regie over waar, hoeveel en voor wie er gebouwd wordt. De SP presenteerde haar eigen woonplan en daar wil Maarten de Gruyter nog wel iets over zeggen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, host Rebecca Christie speaks with Bruegel's first Director and co-founder, Jean Pisani-Ferry, Senior fellow and co-founder Nicolas Véron, and Board member Caroline de Gruyter on the occasion of the think tank's 20th anniversary. Their conversation takes us on a journey that spans fateful lunches and parliamentary dramas, choosing a location and funding model, and key inspirations from across the pond. Aside from being the story of Bruegel, it doubles as a story of Europe: how have different parts of the continent worked together over the two decades? What was the gap that Bruegel filled? And finally, did you know that one works for a think-tank if one wishes to change the world? 

Reading with an "I" to the Heavens: Looking at the Qumran Hodayot Through the Lens of Visionary Traditions (de Gruyter, 2018) examines the collection of prayers known as the Qumran Hodayot (= Thanksgiving Hymns) in light of ancient visionary traditions, new developments in neuropsychology, and post-structuralist understandings of the embodied subject. The thesis of this book is that the ritualized reading of reports describing visionary experiences written in the first person "I" had the potential to create within the ancient reader the subjectivity of a visionary which can then predispose him to have a religious experience. This study examines how references to the body and the strategic arousal of emotions could have functioned within a practice of performative reading to engender a religious experience of ascent. In so doing, this book offers new interdisciplinary insights into meditative ritual reading as a religious practice for transformation in antiquity. Learn more about your ad choices.

Born in the 13th century, Pietro d'Abano was referred to variously as “the Great Lombard,” “the Conciliator,” and, in at least one case, a “great necromancer.” This scholar and physician faced various troubles relating to heresy or sorcery, and stories swirl around him of calling on demons or magically making spent coins return to his purse.

Is research on antisemitism even necessary in countries with a relatively small Jewish population? Absolutely, as Antisemitism in the North: History and State of Research (de Gruyter, 2019) shows. Compared to other countries, research on antisemitism in the Nordic countries (Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) is marginalized at an institutional and staffing level, especially as far as antisemitism beyond German fascism, the Second World War, and the Holocaust is concerned. Furthermore, compared to scholarship on other prejudices and minority groups, issues concerning Jews and anti-Jewish stereotypes remain relatively underresearched in Scandinavia - even though antisemitic stereotypes have been present and flourishing in the North ever since the arrival of Christianity, and long before the arrival of the first Jewish communities.This volume aims to help bring the study of antisemitism to the fore, from the medieval period to the present day. Contributors from all the Nordic countries describe the status of as well as the challenges and desiderata for the study of antisemitism in their respective countries.

Was migration to Germany a blessing or a curse? The main argument of this book is that the Greek state conceived labor migration as a traineeship into Europeanization with its shiny varnish of progress. Jumping on a fully packed train to West Germany meant leaving the past behind. However, the tensed Cold War realities left no space for illusions; specters of the Nazi past and the Greek Civil War still haunted them all.  Adopting a transnational approach, The Greek Gastarbeiter in the Federal Republic of Germany (1960–1974) (de Gruyter, 2024) retargets attention to the sending state by exploring how the Greek Gastarbeiter's welfare was intrinsically connected with their homeland through its exercise of long-distance nationalism. Apart from its fresh take in postwar migration, the book also addresses methodological challenges in creative ways. The narrative alternates between the macro- and the micro-level, including subnational and transnational actors and integrating a diverse set of primary sources and voices. Avoiding the trap of exceptionalism, it contextualizes the Greek case in the Mediterranean and Southeast European experience. Learn more about your ad choices.

An interview with Dr. Samuel Zinner Dr. Samuel Zinner describes the ancient Apocryphon (or Secret Book) of James, then, focusing on two common elements in so-called ‘gnosticism'—the meaning of the demiurge and ascending—he shows how this text does not neatly fit any category. It includes no reference to demiurge, but it does involve a lengthy and unusual description of Jesus, Peter, and James all ascending.  Inclusion in the Nag Hammadi collection does not necessarily define something as ‘gnostic,' as this text illustrates.  Zinner is an award-winning author and scholar of Holocaust studies, ecumenism, modern and ancient languages, literature and history, and has been published internationally in a variety of languages by Oxford University Press, de Gruyter, and others. He has contributed articles to Religions Journal and served as peer review referee for several academic journals. He is also a documentary script writer, having worked with Jean-Claude Bragard, the creator of award-winning programs for the BBC. Zinner has collaborated with eminent scholars on the Dead Sea Scrolls and Hebrew scriptures. He's currently an editor for the forthcoming Origins and Applications of Language and Number with contributions from several eminent scholars, and he presents at conferences such as "The Bible and the Qur'an: Comparative Studies” at the Shahid Beshita University in Tehran. His current book that we discuss in this podcast interview is The Apocryphon of James (NHC 1,2), a scholarly work on the text more popularly known as the Secret Book of James.

In this episode, Dr. Kathryn (Kate) Graber and doctoral student Ariana Gunderson interview linguistic anthropologist Jillian Cavanaugh about all things language and value. Much of Dr. Cavanaugh's research in Bergamo, Italy, summarized here, has been on the political economy of code choice–that is, why people choose the ways of speaking they do, whether to access economic opportunities or to have a language of regional belonging, intimacy, and home. Turning to questions of authenticity and materiality, Dr. Cavanaugh discusses how to approach language not only as an expressive system but also as an embodied, material practice. We talk about how food gains value through the different kinds of linguistic labor that are undertaken in its production and ask whether language and food are analogous semiotic systems (spoiler alert: not quite). Thinking about her current work with small-scale, hyper-local sausage producers, Jillian discusses the roles of individual choice and consumption, and/versus the role of production in the construction of value. At the end, we talk about intersections between linguistic and economic anthropology in Jillian's role as President-Elect of the Society for Linguistic Anthropology (SLA). Jillian R. Cavanaugh is a linguistic anthropologist whose research, centered in northern Italy, has considered language shift and social transformation, value, language ideologies, materiality, gender, and heritage food. Her current research focuses on heritage food producers and the labor they undertake to make good, safe, and valuable food. She is interested in how people use the semiotic and material resources available to them to make sense of their pasts in order to live in the present and envision their futures. Her publications include Living Memory: The Social Aesthetics of Language in a Northern Italian Town (Wiley-Blackwell 2009) and Language and Materiality: Ethnographic and Theoretical Explorations (Cambridge University Press 2017, co-edited with Shalini Shankar). Her work has been published in American Anthropologist, the Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, and Ethnos, among other venues. She received her PhD in anthropology at New York University and is Professor of Anthropology at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center CUNY. Co-hosted by Dr. Kathryn Graber [Link] and Ariana Gunderson [Link].

At this point of the scholarly debate on the nature of Second Temple pseudepigraphy, one may ask why another look at the problem is needed.  Second Temple Pseudepigraphy: A Cross-cultural Comparison of Apocalyptic Texts and Related Jewish Literature (de Gruyter, 2014) is not the definitive answer to that problem but it proposes different paths - or better still, a two-fold path: on one hand to understand Second Temple pseudepigraphy as a mystical experience and on the other, for lack of a suitable ancient example, to compare it to modern-day automatic writing.

As the predominantly Muslim Chinese who claim ancestry from Persian and Arabic-speaking regions in Central Asia and the Middle East, the Hui people in China have received relatively little attention in anthropology. According to the 2010 census, the Hui are the largest Muslim group in China and its third largest ethnic minority with a total population of 10.6 million. Due to their extensive geographic distribution and long-term acculturation by the atheist Han majority, the question of Hui identity is rarely raised in humanities and social sciences both in China and abroad. This book examines Hui iden­tity in the rural area of Ningxia Hui Auto­no­mous Region, while taking account of China's rapid modernization and industrialization in the twenty-first century. Speci­fi­cally, it focuses on the massive internal migra­tion of rural popu­la­tions, which has been playing an essen­tial role in the socioe­co­nomic life of Chinese peasants in the past few decades. Based on field data collected between 2011 and 2013 among the Jahriyya Hui, Wang seeks to clarify the impacts of migra­tion on the Hui's ethno­re­li­gious iden­tity by inves­ti­ga­ting three key issues: the Hui's purity concept, fasting and their belief in the after­world. In rela­tion to these refe­rence points, reli­gious rituals, inclu­ding comme­mo­ra­tion cere­mo­nies and the Ramadan fast as well as their chan­ging forms and values, are illu­s­t­rated and analyzed. Muslim Chinese - the Hui in Rural Ningxia (de Gruyter, 2019) shows that Islam conti­nues to play a crucial part in drawing boun­da­ries and main­tai­ning iden­tity for the Hui both before and after migra­tion. However, popu­la­tion move­ments in Ningxia are resul­ting in increased inter­ac­tions between Hui and Han popu­la­tions as well as between Hui from diverse “menhuan” (Sufi paths). Conse­qu­ently, the Hui's unique “menhuan” aware­ness is being weakened and their purity concept subjected to many queries, doubts, ambi­gui­ties, and tensions.

Existence and Perception in Medieval Vedānta: Vyāsatīrtha's Defence of Realism in the Nyāyāmṛta (de Gruyter, 2024) focuses on discussions of metaphysics and epistemology in early modern India found in the works of the South Indian philosopher Vyāsatīrtha (1460-1539). Vyāsatīrtha was pivotal to the ascendancy of the Mādhva tradition to intellectual and political influence in the Vijayanagara Empire.  This book is primarily a philosophical reconstruction based on original translations of relevant parts of Vyāsatīrtha's Sanskrit philosophical text, the "Nectar of Logic" (Nyāyāmṛta). Vyāsatīrtha wrote the Nyāyāmṛta as a vindication of his tradition's theistic world view against the Advaita tradition of Vedānta. In the centuries after it was written, the Nyāyāmṛta came to dominate philosophical discussions among Vedānta traditions in India. The Advaitins argued for an anti-realist stance about the empirical world, according to which the world of our experience is simply an illusion that can be dispelled by a deep study of the Upaniṣads. This book reconstructs the parts of the Nyāyāmṛta where Vyāsatīrtha argues in favor of the reality of the world against the Advaitins. Philosophically, it focuses on the concept of existence in Vyāsatīrtha's metaphysics, and on his arguments about knowledge and the philosophy of perception.
