This volume, "Prayers and Other Pieces of Thomas Becon, S.T.P.," offers a collection of devotional writings from Thomas Becon (1512-1567), a significant figure in the English Reformation. Serving as chaplain to Archbishop Cranmer and prebendary of Canterbury, Becon was a prominent voice during a period of profound religious change. This collection, edited by John Ayre, includes a selection of Becon's prayers and other religious pieces, providing insight into the spiritual life and theological concerns of the era.

Readers will find within these pages a reflection of the religious fervor and intellectual debates that characterized the 16th century. Becon's writings offer a valuable window into the heart of the English Reformation and the personal piety of one of its key figures. "Prayers and Other Pieces" remains a compelling resource for those interested in religious history and the development of Christian thought.

Social Life of Prayer: Anthropological Engagements with Christian Practice
<p>This book brings the theme of prayer into anthropological discussion. Across diverse significant ethnographic case studies, five anthropologists attend to prayers and how they are performed and seen to intervene in the social world. </p><p>The studies include Pentecostals in Zambia, Charismatic Christians in Ghana, Protestants in Scotland, Eastern Orthodox Christians in Romania, and Catholics in Syria. Across these ethnographic cases, the book argues that focusing on the social life of prayer offers a significant way to engage with matters close to people. Prayers are a way to map affect and the affective relationships people hold in what they are oriented towards and care about. Taking its cue from Marcel Mauss, the book invites us to go beyond the individual and see how prayers always point to a broader social landscape of obligation and affective investment. Focusing on the social life of prayers, the book posits, accordingly entices a particular form of situated comparison of diverse Christian traditions that pushes the scholarly conversation on Christianity to consider central questions of agency, responsibility and subjectivity. Taking up prayer as the object of study, this book offers novel anthropological perspectives on Christian life and practice. </p><p>The chapters in this book were originally published a special issue of <i>Religion</i>.</p>
