Twentieth Century Religious Thought: Volume II, Islam

Twentieth Century Religious Thought: Volume II, Islam focuses on modern Islamic theology and tradition and details Islam’s evolution from the late 19th century by examining printed works and rare documents by Muslim writers, both non-Western and Western voices.

It includes an international selection of English-language editions of key thinkers such as Sadiq Jalal Al-Azm, Khaled Abou el Fadl, Fethullah Gülen, Sayyid Ahmad Khan, Said Nursî, Abdolkarim Soroush, Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, and Amina Wadud; writings in Arabic by Muhammad Abduh and in French by Abdou Filali- Ansary, and a selection of more contextual monographs. Future releases will introduce more works by significant thinkers and archival content.

Twentieth Century Religious Thought supports research and teaching in comparative religion, theology, world religion, religion and law, and religion and politics, and serves as an important resource for courses and scholarship in Middle Eastern studies, social theory, feminist studies, philosophy, and world history. For those who own the four volumes on Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Eastern Religions, the collection is fully cross-searchable.

The Rays: Reflections on Islamic Belief, Thought, Worship, and Action

The Rays: Reflections on Islamic Belief, Thought, Worship, and Action

The Rays is one of the key volumes of the Risale-i Nur Collection. In this volume, Bediuzzaman offers his insight on matters of belief with convincing arguments he puts forward in essays like The Supreme Sign. For Bediuzzaman, affirmation of faith is much easier than denial, for a single indication is enough for the former whereas an exhaustive investigation of the entire cosmos and throughout all times is necessary for the latter. He affirms that matters concerning what is sacred and spiritual require certainty and advancement in spiritual work; so denial based on evidence from material sphere and restricted only to what our eyes can see is unworthy of consideration.

Qu'est-ce que l'islam?

Qu'est-ce que l'islam?

In France, Islam is often found at the heart of many issues. Against the backdrop of deep ignorance, pernicious violence unfolds against this religion, on the frontiers of history and politics. From history to sociology, via ethnology, none of these disciplines can be neglected to understand Islam. In this book, the author Rochdy Alili deploys major founding themes of Islamic doctrines, from Sufism to radical Islam to kinship. What then are their common roots and ultimately their links? Why were Mohammed's heirs divided into several branches? What are the differences between Sunnis, Shiites and Kharijism? And is "jihad" an obligation of the Muslim Believer?

A Brief Introduction to Qur'anic Exegesis

A Brief Introduction to Qur'anic Exegesis

This work traces the evolution of Qur'anic exegesis, from the time of the Prophet, the Companions, the Successors, the early mufassirun (exegetes) with independent tafsir works, to the present day. In doing so, it addresses some major issues including to what extent has tafsir been influenced by differing theological traditions (classical, mystical sufi, persian), political and sectarian interests etc. and how interpretation has differed in some cases, mainly pertaining to juridical, theological, historical, and linguistic issues.
