A Very Brief History of EternityCarlos Eire

“Strikingly erudite and profound yet accessible, this book will appeal to anyone who takes pleasure in being enlightened and entertained at the same time.”—Peter Iver Kauf-man, University of Richmond

In A Very Brief History of Eternity, Carlos Eire has written a brilliant short history of eternity in Western culture. Tracing the idea from ancient times to the present, Eire ex-amines the rise and fall of five different concep-tions of eternity, exploring how they developed and how they have helped shape individual and collective self-understanding.

Carlos Eire is the Riggs Professor of History and Religious Studies at Yale University.

Pen of IronAmerican Prose and the King James BibleRobert Alter

“In this subtle and impressive work, Robert Alter shows us in great, attentive detail what style is, demonstrating the work of language on every page and revealing the extraordinary things that American writers have done with the language of the King James Bible.”—Michael Wood, Princeton University

The simple yet grand language of the King James Bible has pervaded American culture from the beginning—and its powerful eloquence contin-ues to be felt even today. In this book, acclaimed biblical translator and literary critic Robert Alter traces some of the fascinating ways that American novelists—from Melville, Hemingway, and Faulkner to Bellow, Marilynne Robinson, and Cormac McCarthy—have drawn on the rich stylistic resources of the canonical English Bible to fashion their own strongly resonant styles and distinctive visions of reality.

Robert Alter has taught Hebrew and comparative literature at the University of California, Berkeley, since 1967.

Saving GodReligion after IdolatryMark Johnston

“This book is a brilliantly conceived contribution to natural theology.”—Jeffrey Stout, author of Democracy and Tradition and Ethics after Babel

In this book, Mark Johnston argues that God needs to be saved not only

from the distortions of the “undergraduate atheists” (Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris) but, more importantly, from the idolatrous tendencies of religion itself. Each monotheistic religion has its characteristic ways of domesticating True Divinity, of taming God’s demands so that they do not radically threaten our self-love and false righteousness. Turning the monotheistic critique of idolatry on the monotheisms themselves, Johnston shows that much in these traditions must be condemned as false and spiritually debilitating.

Mark Johnston is the Walter Cerf Professor of Philosophy at Princeton University.

A Short History of the JewsMichael Brenner

Translated by Jeremiah Riemer

“Brenner is a proven author with a broad competence in Jewish history, which makes him one of the few Jewish historians able to handle a volume of such large scope. His book has a novel approach that sets it apart from other one-volume histories. It is intended as a first book in Jewish history for readers with little knowledge of the subject. The style is extraordinarily read-able.”—Michael A. Meyer, author of Judaism within Modernity

Michael Brenner is professor of Jewish history and culture at the University of Munich.

Faith in the FightReligion and the American Soldier in the Great WarJonathan H. Ebel

“Employing a wide variety of sources, Jonathan Ebel reconstructs the religious meaning of World War I for American soldiers and civilians, and his findings are highly revisionary. The conventional wisdom has been that the Civil War was the last ‘romantic’ war and that cynicism and disillusion-ment have ruled ever since. Yet when Ebel actu-ally looks at the evidence, a very different picture emerges—one of deep-seated faith and an idealistic belief in America as a Christian nation.”—Harry S. Stout, Yale University

Revealing that Jewish communities in the early modern period were linked to one another in fascinating ways, he shows how Jews were com-municating with each other and more aware of their economic, social, and religious connections than ever before.

Capitalism and the JewsJerry Z. Muller

The unique historical relationship between capitalism and the Jews is crucial to understand-ing modern European and Jewish history. But the subject has been addressed less often by mainstream historians than by anti-Semites or apologists. In this book, Jerry Muller, a leading historian of capitalism, separates myth from reality to explain why the Jewish experience with capitalism has been so important and complex—and so ambivalent.

Machiavelli’s GodMaurizio Viroli

Praise for Maurizio Viroli’s Niccolò’s Smile: A Biog-raphy of Machiavelli

“A welcome antidote to the clichéd image of self-interested knavery for which [Machiavelli] has become known.... Viroli succeeds ... in offering a fascinating portrait.” —Alexander Stille, New York Times Book Review

To many readers of The Prince, Machiavelli appears to be deeply un-Christian or even anti-Christian, a cynic who thinks rulers should use religion only to keep their subjects in check. But in Machiavelli’s God, Maurizio Viroli, one of the world’s leading authorities on Machiavelli, argues that Machiavelli, far from opposing Christianity, thought it was crucial to republican social and political renewal—but that first it needed to be renewed itself. And without understanding this, Viroli contends, it is impossible to comprehend Machiavelli’s thought.

“Deep and impor-tant. . . . Neiman’s particular skill lies in expressing sensitiv-ity, intelligence and moral seriousness without any hint of oversimplification, dogmatism or misplaced piety. She clearly and unflinch-ingly sees life as it is, but also sees how it

might be, and could be, if we recaptured some of the hopes and ideals that currently escape us.”—Simon Blackburn, New York Times

Susan Neiman is Director of the Einstein Forum.
