"Stained Glass in Catholic Philadelphia tells the remarkable story of the thousands of stained-glass windows - made in America, England, France, and Germany - in the more than 400 churches, chapels, and institutions of the five-county Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Since 1997 more than 450 sites have been visited to document the archdiocese's windows by photographing them. This process resulted in the creation of a photo archive of over 50,000 images. Using this archive as a foundation, a team of scholars - from a variety of institutions and with specialties in medieval studies, architectural and social history, Christian iconography, decorative and liturgical arts, the craft, creative reuse, and historic preservation of stained glass - was assembled to study these windows. The result is this profusely illustrated book of original research that makes accessible a significant and highly visible, but neglected, aspect of our ecclesial, national, and regional cultural heritage."--BOOK JACKET. Book jacket.

The new order grew at an amazing pace....By the year of its centenary, 1640, the Society could boast remarkable achievements....Not surprisingly, therefore, in 1640, Jesuit provinces around the world entered enthusiastically into celebration of the centenary....This, then, was the occasion for publication at Antwerp by the Jesuits of the Flemish province of the Imago primi saeculi Societatis Iesu."--Page 11.

When Black runway models began throwing phones and VH1's «Divas Live» riveted viewers, a new paradigm for Black women had fully evolved in the form of the Black Diva. Tracing the trajectory of the Diva figure from the Italian castrati to Ntozake Shange's Liliane: Resurrection of the Daughter suggests a way around staid and fixed stereotypes about Black womanhood. The Black Diva performs her demands as a quintessential act of survival in a hostile and racist world; she is both a product of and a mark against the male gaze, Black and white. Ultimately, Tipping on a Tightrope: Divas in African American Literature uses present popular culture incarnations of the Diva to detail her long relationship with Black American literary culture.

Enabling Dialogue about the Land comprises essays from sixteen contributing scholars who engaged for several years in the "Promise, Land, and Hope" research project of the International Council for Christians and Jews (ICCJ), headquartered in Heppenheim, Germany. The team of American, Australian, German, Israeli, Palestinian, and Swedish scholars sought to answer: "What understandings might the project develop that could serve as resources for constructive dialogue about Israeli-Palestinian issues?" While not intending to "solve" the conflict, Enabling Dialogue encourages interreligious conversation that moves away from endless disputes over policies toward engaging with differences as a path toward constructive understanding.
