The Lives of Great Religious Books
Princeton University Press has an intriguing new series. It is discussed by Jeremy F. Walton at the The Immanent Frame. Here is what Princeton has to say about the series together with the current list in the series. Future books in the series can also be found here.
Lives of Great Religious Books
Lives of Great Religious Books is a new series of short volumes that recount the complex and fascinating histories of important religious texts from around the world. Written for general readers by leading authors and experts, these books examine the historical origins of texts from the great religious traditions, and trace how their reception, interpretation, and influence have changed--often radically--over time. As these stories of translation, adaptation, appropriation, and inspiration dramatically remind us, all great religious books are living things whose careers in the world can take the most unexpected turns.
