TL;DR: In this article, M. argues that the quest for community is the obligation of covenant, and the fostering of community of the right kind is at least one understanding of the common good.
Abstract: cannot create community, its policies may provide opportunities for its exercise. Covenant and common good may also provide guidance to those who address the difficult question of who shall be included and excluded from communities or nations. M. believes that to develop communal relationships we must develop communities of virtue and character. True faith itself demands this. Family, schools, churches, and neighborhoods can all nurture such virtue. M. does not believe, contra Max Stackhouse, that we can “sell a particular theology as the public theology” (155). Rather, we must publicly express our theologically grounded convictions on public issues. Our starting point in societal action ought to be the interhuman connections that oblige us to respond and take responsibility for others. “The quest for community is the obligation of covenant, and the fostering of community of the right kind is at least one understanding of the common good” (156). M. largely succeeds in showing that the common good and covenant can continue to serve as “deep symbols” for society. His work fits into the widely traversed space between libertarians and communitarians. It is interesting that, while his introduction criticizes Alasdair MacIntyre and Stanley Hauerwas for not addressing questions of the common good, his conclusion—that we need to nurture communities of virtue—is surprisingly near to theirs. M. does go further, however, arguing that these faithinduced positions ought to be directed toward public issues, but he leaves one wondering how he has genuinely moved beyond the positions he criticizes. On the other side of the spectrum, M. attempts to distinguish his position from that of Max Stackhouse as an attempt to “express convictions in public policy issues” rather than “sell a particular theology as the public theology.” But I wonder here whether the distinction between “selling a public theology” and “expressing theologically grounded convictions” (155) is real and effective. There is, no doubt, a strait between “Scyllatackhouse” and “Chauerybderwas,” but M.’s navigation is uncertain. Nevertheless, he presents strong challenges and possible solutions to those who wish to revitalize the rich theological symbols of covenant and the common good.

TL;DR: Purity and Danger as mentioned in this paper is widely cited in non-anthropological works and gave rise to a body of application, rebuttal and development within anthropology within the field of religion and science.
Abstract: Purity and Danger is acknowledged as a modern masterpiece of anthropology. It is widely cited in non-anthropological works and gave rise to a body of application, rebuttal and development within anthropology. In 1995 the book was included among the Times Literary Supplement's hundred most influential non-fiction works since WWII. Incorporating the philosophy of religion and science and a generally holistic approach to classification, Douglas demonstrates the relevance of anthropological enquiries to an audience outside her immediate academic circle. She offers an approach to understanding rules of purity by examining what is considered unclean in various cultures. She sheds light on the symbolism of what is considered clean and dirty in relation to order in secular and religious, modern and primitive life.

TL;DR: In this classic study of Orthodox theology, Losky states that "in a certain sense, all theology is mystical, inasmuch as it shows forth the divine mystery: the data of revelation" as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: In this classic study of Orthodox theology, Losky states that 'in a certain sense, all theology is mystical, inasmuch as it shows forth the divine mystery: the data of revelation, the eastern tradition has never nade a sharp distinction between mysticism and theology, between personal experience of the divine mysteries and the dogma affirmed by the Church. ' The term 'mystical theology', denotes the realm of human experience, that which is accessible yet inaccessible, those things understood yet surpassing all knowledge.
