V&R unipress GmbH Ein traditioneller Gelehrter stellt sich der
Book SynopsisSaid Nursi gilt als traditioneller Gelehrter in der Moderne. Seine publizistische Hauptambition entwickelte sich aus einer religiösen Motivation heraus und war gepaart mit wissenschaftlichem Fortschrittsglauben, der sich gegen Unwissenheit, Armut und Uneinigkeit in der Bevölkerung stellte. Als die Unvereinbarkeit zwischen Religion und Naturwissenschaften postuliert und stellenweise ideologisch vertreten wurde, war Said Nursi bemüht, dieses Spannungsverhältnis aufzulösen. Er stellte sich den kontroversen Herausforderungen der Moderne und gab Antworten, die bis heute für die Entwicklung des Islams in der Türkei zukunftsweisend sind. Der vorliegende Band eröffnet einen Einblick in das Wirken des einflussreichen türkisch-kurdischen Gelehrten und untersucht die Kernpunkte seines Denkens. Said Nursi is considered a traditional scholar of the modern age. His main goal as a journalist was spawned of religious motivation and was paired with scientific advances of faith that stood up against lack of knowledge, poverty and disunity among the population. When the incompatibility between religion and science was postulated and, in parts, ideologically represented, Said Nursi endeavoured to resolve this tension. He confronted the controversial challenges of the modern age and provided answers that remain far-sighted for the development of Islam in Turkey today. This volume offers an insight into the work of the influential Turkish-Kurdish scholar, examining the core points of his thinking.

V&R unipress GmbH 900 Jahre al-Gazali im Spiegel der islamischen
Book SynopsisAl-Gazali (10581111) is considered to be one of the most influential and powerful Muslim thinkers and scholars produced by the Islamic tradition of science. His research encompassed wide fields, as can also be understood from the diversity of his work with references to selected theological disciplines and the associated discourses. Many of his works are still received today and deal with philosophy, speculative theology, kalām, the fiqh and uṣūl al-fiqh, up to questions of ethics, logic and the taṣawwuf. This diversity is reflected in the scholarly discussion of al-Ġazālī, as this volume is able to show.

Peeters Publishers Islam in Dutch Society: Current Developments and
Book SynopsisThis book generally discusses three main topics connected to the situation of Muslims in Dutch society. First of all, attention is given to the subject of faith and rituals such as the existing mystical orders, mosque sermons and the institutionalization of ritual slaughter. The second subject deals with Islam and the second-generation Muslims in the Netherlands. In this context, the situation of the so-called runaway girls and education in general are discussed. Special attention is given to the development and functioning of Islamic schools and to the education in one's own language and culture. The last topic deals with Muslim organizations, their development and role in the emancipation of these religious groups in Dutch society. Furthermore, obstacles hindering the establishment of a Muslim council on a national level are thoroughly discussed. This book can be of interest to various categories of people, such as scholars (theologians, social scientists, lawyers), policy makers, and those who, through their profession, are in regular contact with members of the Muslim community in the Netherlands.

Peeters Publishers Muslim-Christian Perceptions of Dialogue Today:
Book SynopsisThe regional and international contexts of the relations between Muslims and Christians have changed during the last fifty years, with important consequences for initiatives by both Christians and Muslims to strengthen cooperation and dialogue. The present book is a stocktaking of experiences and expectations of mutual dialogue by intellectuals on both sides. The main part of the book discusses dialogue efforts made in Indonesia and Egypt, initiatives taken in Morocco and Tunesia, integration of Muslim immigrants in British and Dutch societies. The opening and concluding chapters treat broader questions : should one not speak of dialogue about religions rather than between religions? How do distorted perceptions impede dialogue? What does the Vatican say about dialogue? Has dialogue in fact begun yet? The introduction includes an English summary of the four contributions in French. There is a good bibliography of the subject in Western languages. This is a major intellectual contribution to the normalization of Muslim-Christian relations and, more generally, relations between the Muslim world and the West.

Peeters Publishers La Religion Et La Pensee Prises Au Piege De
Book SynopsisJamais avant ces quelques dernieres annees on n'avait autant publie de livres, d'articles, d'enquetes sur l'Islam et les societes qui s'en reclament. Peu de veritables specialistes ont participe a cette agitation febrile, representee pour l'essentiel par une foule d'ideologues et de gens des medias. Une bonne part de ces ecrits de circonstance s'alimente, on le sait, aux evenements tragiques qu'ont connus, et connaissent encore, les pays islamiques et leurs prolongements de par le monde. Une avalanche d'essais, car c'est bien le terme, masquant, aux yeux du lecteur presse, les trop rares etudes de qualite, c'est-a-dire proposees par des auteurs authentiquement informes de l'Islam d'hier et d'aujourd'hui. Le livre de Mohammad Khatami n'est pas seulement l'oeuvre du President de la Republique Islamique d'Iran, mais aussi de celui qui fut Professeur de Philosophie Islamique avant d'etre investi de la charge presidentielle. Aussi, a l'experience theorique du philosophe qu'il n'a cesse d'etre, joint-il celle, politique, de l'exercice du pouvoir. Ce livre constitue donc tout d'abord le temoignage interne d'un veritable connaisseur de l'Islam et de l'une des societes islamiques contemporaines. Mais il s'agit egalement de la tentative d'un specialiste de la philosophie politique, et notamment du philosophe du Xe siecle al-Farabi, pour rendre accessible un domaine historique fort complexe, non seulement a ses pairs academiques, mais aussi au grand public cultive, d'Orient et d'Occident.

Peeters Publishers Perspectives on Islamic Culture: Essays in Honour

KU Leuven, IDEO, UCL, Universite de Provence, University of Birmingham and Institut Catholique de Paris have contributed to this Liber Amicorum, offered to Prof. em. Emilio Platti o.p. Perspectives on Islamic Culture consists of three parts, reflecting the threefold academic interest of Emilio Platti, expressed both in his numerous lectures and publications. The volume opens with a number of textcritical studies that offer a detailed analysis of primary Muslim sources, ranging from the Quran itself to a late nineteenth-century collection of majalis (mourning gatherings). A second part of this volume discusses, from different perspectives, the historical and contemporary relations and dialogue between Islam and Christianity. A third and final part is devoted to a series of studies on the emerging European Islam and the challenges it faces.

Peeters Publishers Scribal Practices and the Social Construction of
Book SynopsisScribal practices across disciplines are often explored through divisions between words, stiches and verses, sections, scribal hands and marks, correction and copying procedures. This volume offers a different perspective: writing as shown here is, at its heart, a deeply social practice connecting narrative to the different categories of knowledge (linguistic, political, administrative, legal, historical and geographic) and literacy. The twelve essays investigate how scribal practices are related to the construction of knowledge and challenge the conventional boundaries. They address various types of knowledge whose potential is triggered by certain needs and values in the context of Antiquity, Late Antiquity and Medieval Islam from al-Andalus through Egypt, Syria to Iraq, Anatolia and Bactria as far afield as Ethiopia. The vast majority of the papers are related thematically and the overall connection between the articles is the salient feature of this volume. The papers also demonstrate how the local context has shaped scribal practices allowing for cross-cultural comparison.

Peeters Publishers Theological Rationalism in Medieval Islam: New
Book SynopsisThe present volume comprises substantially revised and enlarged versions of papers read at a conference convened in June 2010 by the ERC-Project at the German Orient-Institut in Istanbul. Under the title “Theological Rationalism in Medieval Islam: New Texts and Perspectives”, a group of leading international scholars was invited to introduce important new kalam-texts that have not been the subject of previous studies or to explore new trajectories in studying known key-texts. While most contributions combine both aspects, they are divided into two groups according to the predominating aspect. The first four contributions introduce hitherto unknown or unexplored texts and assess how these can modify and expand our understanding of kalam. The second group of contributions applies novel methodologies in order to identify and interpret historical and conceptual transformations that occurred within kalam or resulted from its interaction with other disciplines. The question whether God can delay the elucidation of vague or unclear statements raises a number of thorny theological questions. It is hoped that the results of these presentations will have an impact beyond their subject matter in that their novel approaches will find their place in the methodological toolbox of kalam scholarship, thus stimulating work that will further expand our knowledge of Muslim kalam.

Peeters Publishers Le Festin: Une lecture de la sourate al-Mâ'ida
Book SynopsisLes lecteurs de plus en plus nombreux du Coran se heurtent rapidement à une difficulté majeure: l'absence apparent d’ordre du livre rend très difficile d’en suivre le fil et provoque rapidement découragement et lassitude. L’orientalisme moderne, centré jusqu’à une date récente sur la critique historique du texte, a renforcé l’idée qu’il ne serait qu’une collection de fragments mis à la suite sans ordre ni logique. Le présent ouvrage propose une approche toute nouvelle en y appliquant des principes d’analyse qui ont fait leur preuve dans le champ biblique et se révèlent parfaitement adéquats pour l'exégèse coranique. Michel Cuypers en fait ici la démonstration sur une longue sourate, réputée particulièrement embrouillée: à l’analyse, elle apparaît toutefois solidement construite selon les principes de la rhétorique sémitique qui régissent également les textes bibliques. L’analyse textuelle s’enrichit d'une attention aux nombreux rapports du texte coranique avec la Bible et la littérature para-biblique: écrits rabbiniques, écrits intertestamentaires, apocryphes. Le Coran «relit» ces documents, connus du monde proche-oriental dans lequel il est né: loin de s’y réduire, il les adapte à sa propre vision théologique, en sorte qu’ici aussi, le rapport du texte à son contexte (externe) éclaire sur le sens. Ces analyses permettent une interprétation nuancée et souvent renouvelée, qui, de manière inattendue, rejoint souvent celle des «nouveaux penseurs de l’islam» : leur revendication essentielle n’est-elle pas précisément une interprétation renouvelée du Coran, basée sur les acquis de la critique moderne?

Urim Publications Song of Teshuvah: Book Four: A Commentary on Rav
Book SynopsisThis is the only English translation of the esteemed Rav Kook’s book on repentance and self-improvement Rabbi Abraham Isaac HaKohen Kook’s seminal work on repentance, Oros HaTeshuvah, is recognized as a classic of Jewish thought but has, because of its difficult language and its theological depth, remained inaccessible to many. This book presents readers with the original Hebrew text of Oros HaTeshuvah with a new translation into English, as well as expert commentary in English from Rabbi Moshe Weinberger. Weinberger draws on his extensive knowledge of Jewish philosophical and inspirational literature to provide profound, moving, and fresh insights into the text, richly explicating the ideas in Oros HaTeshuvah in an accessible and clear but not superficial manner. Readers will come away with a firm grasp on the profound truth at the heart of Kook’s classic work: that teshuvah—repentance—is not a somber process of self-deprivation but a joyful journey back to God and to the core of each individual. This volume covers chapters 14 through 17 of Oros HaTeshuvah and is the final volume in this series.Trade Review" Song of Teshuvah is unreservedly recommended for synagogue, college, and university library Judaic Studies collections in general, and Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook supplemental studies reading lists in particular." http://www.midwestbookreview.com/wbw/oct_18 JudaicStudies
