Geary To obtain sacred relics, medieval monks plundered tombs, avaricious merchants raided churches, and relic-mongers scoured the Roman catacombs. In a revised edition of Furta Sacra, Patrick Geary considers the social and cultural context for these acts, asking how the relics were perceived and why the thefts met with the approval of medieval Christians. "This is a fascinating study of a medieval way of thinking which in certain circum- stances countenanced thefts of sacred relics from tombs, churches, and Roman cata- combs. . . . Furta Sacra is truly impressive history shedding much light on a difficult dimension of popular Christian piety in another age."—Michael Connors, Church History Now in paper: $12.95 ISBN 0-691-00862-0 ® AT YOUR BOOKSTORE OR Princeton University Press 41 WILLIAM ST. • PRINCETON, NJ 08540 • (609) 258-4900 ORDERS: 800-PRS-ISBN (777-4726) "From the time of Constantine's conversion to that of Oliver Cromwell's civil war," writes Peter Iver Kaufman, "Christianity and politics were often so closely joined that it is difficult now to tell whether we are looking back at religious or political convictions." With the purpose of enriching our understanding of the often strained relationship between religion and poli- tics, Kaufman explores major efforts throughout history to associate religious salvation with the perpetuation or reforms of various governments. His study begins with Paul's perplexing words to the persecuted Christians in Rome: "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities for there is no authority except from God," then exam- ines how later Christians used various forms of "political theology" to merge the romance of conquest and empire with hopes for political and religious redemption.

Martin Paul and other early Christians frequently referred to themselves as slaves of Christ or of God—a metaphor most biblical scholars have felt would have been distasteful to potential converts in the Greco-Roman world. Dale B. Martin argues, however, that metaphorical slavery to a deity was not an unlikely construction for its day, and shows how the idea in fact represented salvation to Greco-Roman converts.

OUTLER PRIZE IN ECUMENICAL CHURCH HISTORY The Outler Prize was established to encourage the critical study of ecumenical church history, broadly conceived, and to facilitate the publication of such studies. "Ecumenical" is to be construed as chiefly concerned with the problems of Christian unity-and-disunity (doctrinal, cultural, institutional) in any period of church history; or with interactions between Christianity and other religious movements. Works of a partisan nature are excluded. The following categories are eligible: a. Studies, chiefly narrative and critical, of ecumenical church history dealing with historical controversies and divisions, or with notable instances of reconciliation and consensus. b. Analyses of church councils, dialogues, and debates, or interactions between Christianity and other religious traditions. c. Biographical studies of significant leaders, or of persons whose involvement in ecumenical dialogue and action was noteworthy. d. Critical editions (preferably annotated) of significant ecumenical documents. e. Bibliographical reviews and evaluations in major areas of ecumenical church history. f. Pioneering studies that advance scholarly knowledge and ecumenical understanding. The prize consists of an award of $1000 to the author and a possible grant of up to $3000 for publication ( or in exceptional cases, for necessary expenses in the preparation of a book-length manu- script accepted for publication). The prize will be awarded annually, though no award will be made in any year when none of the manuscripts is adjudged to be outstanding. Complete manuscripts in final form must be received by William B. Miller, Secretary, American Society of Church History, 328 Deland Avenue, Indialantic, FL 32903, by 1 June.
