Here is a selection of books recently added to the collection and ready for use.<\/p>\n

A Christian folk religion in India: a study of the small church movement in Andhra Pradesh, with special reference to the Bible Mission of Devadas<\/a> \/P. Solomon Raj.<\/strong>The book under review deals with the problem of how far inculturation in the local culture is permissible to a Christian Church, in this case the Lutheran Church in Andhra Pradesh. The author tries to show that Devadas was orthodox in matters of faith, but might have gone too far in his endeavor to make the Christian Faith palatable to the people among whom he lived, understood so well. This book\u00a0 is important, because it shows that Devadas\u2019 Bible Mission is a folk-religion which in its earthy, practical, and simple framework, well attuned to a peasant mentality, could easily establish contact with the local people and
\nopen their hearts to the message of Christ. The author does not say it expressl,y but seems to imply that Mother Churches alone could do so, with a higher developed theology and a more sublime and elevating liturgy.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0America’s philosopher: John Locke in American intellectual life<\/strong><\/a> \/Claire Rydell Arcenas. <\/strong>America’s Philosopher<\/em> examines how John Locke has been interpreted, reinterpreted, and misinterpreted over three centuries of American history. Arcenas’s book tells the story of Americans’ longstanding yet ever-mutable obsession with this English thinker’s ideas, a saga whose most recent manifestations have found the so-called Father of Liberalism held up as a right-wing icon. The first book to detail Locke’s trans-Atlantic influence from the eighteenth century until today, America’s Philosopher<\/em> shows how and why interpretations of his ideas have captivated Americans in ways few other philosophers–from any nation–ever have. Drawing from a host of vernacular sources to illuminate Locke’s often contradictory impact on American daily and intellectual life from before the Revolutionary War to the present, Arcenas delivers a pathbreaking work in the history of ideas.<\/p>\n

The centerpiece of the book is a wonderful collection of “word studies” which will delight the heart of Ring<\/em> fans and word lovers everywhere. The editors look at the origin of such Tolkienesque words as “hobbit,” “mithril, “Smeagol,” “Ent,” “halfling,” and “worm” (meaning “dragon”). Readers discover that a word such as “mathom” (anything a hobbit had no immediate use for, but was unwilling to throw away) was actually common in Old English, but that “mithril,” on the other hand, is a complete invention (and the first “Elven” word to have an entry in the\u00a0OED<\/em>). Fans of Harry Potter<\/em> will be surprised to find that “Dumbledore” (the name of Hogwart’s headmaster) was a word used by Tolkien and many others (it is a dialect word meaning “bumblebee”).

Rather, it examines only elements of Tolkien’s and Lewis’s books that relate to their views about art, fantasy, and creativity, or the implementation of their theories. The result is a unique and altogether fascinating perspective on two of the most revered fantasy authors of all time.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Why read the Bible in the original languages?<\/a> \/Takamitsu Muraoka. <\/strong>A range of linguistic issues touching on the three original languages are discussed in the light of actual examples.
