New Books across the Disciplines is a bibliographic resource that facilitates a cross-disciplinary survey of recent publications. Its scope ranges from

topical headings and listed alphabetically by authors name. Entries include
complete bibliographical data and annotations. Unless designated for paperback editions, prices given are for cloth editions. For paperback reprint editions, original publication dates are given in parentheses. With few exceptions, books appearing here have been published within the previous two
years. Many will be presented here before they are ordered and shelved by
libraries. Thanks go to David Aers and Valeria Finucci for their collegial
editorial contribution.
The topics for this issue include:
1. Editions and translations
2. Reference
3. Historiography, historians, and critical theory
4. Biographical studies
5. Theological and philosophical legacies
