Synopsis

Ritual Feasts explores the pervasive role of shared meals in religious traditions, highlighting how these feasts shape communal identity and reinforce belief systems. It examines how eating together transcends mere sustenance, becoming a powerful expression of faith. Consider, for example, how harvest festivals celebrate agricultural cycles or how specific foods acquire sacred meanings tied to creation myths. The book reveals that shared meals serve as potent symbolic acts, reinforcing religious doctrines and social hierarchies.

 
The book adopts a historical, anthropological, and theological lens to examine ritualized eating across diverse religions, from Judaism and Christianity to Islam and indigenous belief systems. It moves through theoretical frameworks, then explores specific examples like the Eucharist and the Seder meal, and culminates in a synthesis of findings on religious identity and social cohesion. By analyzing the foods consumed, participants involved, and gestures performed, the book uncovers the values and beliefs that shape religious communities.

    Make Yourselves Gods - Mormons...

    From the perspective of Protestant America, nineteenth-century Mormons were the victims of a peculiar zealotry, a population deranged––socially, sexually, even racially––by the extravagances of belief they called “religion.” Make Yourselves Gods offers a counter-history of early Mormon theology and practice, tracking the Saints from their emergence as a dissident sect to their renunciation of polygamy at century’s end. 
      
    Over these turbulent decades, Mormons would appear by turns as heretics, sex-radicals, refugees, anti-imperialists, colonizers, and, eventually, reluctant monogamists and enfranchised citizens. Reading Mormonism through a synthesis of religious history, political theology, native studies, and queer theory, Peter Coviello deftly crafts a new framework for imagining orthodoxy, citizenship, and the fate of the flesh in nineteenth-century America. What emerges is a story about the violence, wild beauty, and extravagant imaginative power of this era of Mormonism—an impassioned book with a keen interest in the racial history of sexuality and the unfinished business of American secularism.

    This isn’t a book about rockets. 
    It’s about humanity. 
    In Mars, We Coming, the journey to another planet becomes something more than just science fiction or tech speculation — it becomes a mirror. A deeply personal, thought-provoking, first-person exploration of what it really means to leave Earth… and still be us. 
    From the silence of that first step on Martian soil to the invisible battles of the human mind in isolation, this book explores the dreams, fears, and fragile truths behind humanity’s greatest leap. It doesn’t just ask if we can go to Mars — it asks who we become if we do. 
    Thoughtful. Emotional. Raw. 
    Perfect for dreamers, futurists, and anyone wondering what’s next for our species.
