  This volume explores the idea of the unruly book, from books now known by their titles alone to books that subverted structures of power and gender. The contributors show how these books functioned as “sticky” objects, and they examine the story of what such books signified to the people who wrote, read, discussed, yearned for, or even prohibited them. The books examined are those of the first millennium of the Common Era, and the writings of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and related traditions. In particular, the contributors examine the bounty of books within this period that are hard to pin down, whether extant, lost, or imagined-books that challenge modern scholars to reconceptualize our notions of books (biblical or otherwise), religion, manuscript culture, and intellectual history. Through the critical analyses presented in this volume, the contributors negotiate the diverse stories told by unruly books and show that by listening to the stories that books tell, we learn more about the worlds that imagined and discussed them.

  Vi har valgt å ta opp temaet makt i ulike varianter - pengenes makt, økonomi og teologi, kirkemøtet, maktstrukturer i samfunnet og selvets avmakt i møte med seg selv. Men vi har også valgt å ta i bruk litt nye former til dette tidsskriftet å være: Poesi, bilder og intervju med en som har vært tett innpå vårt samfunns utstøtte. Overfor maktens institusjoner og ensretting har vi satset på mangfoldet i synsvinkler og form.
