Answering Islam evaluates the claims of orthodox Islam from a Christian point of view, appealing especially to the Qur'an and the Bible. The authors, a Christian apologist and a former Muslim, provide apologetic answers to prepare Christians for ministry in the Islamic context. This second edition contains two new appendices, a new preface written in light of September 11, 2001, and updated information throughout. "This book is a theological masterpiece, the most lucid and comprehensive theological analysis and critique of Islam from a Christian perspective I have ever seen. It is invaluable as a tool for understanding the most serious religious challenge to Christianity in the modern world." R. C. Sproul, Ligonier Ministries

Detta är den första ordlistan från svenska till pashto. Pashto är nationalspråket i Afghanistan och talas även i nordvästliga Pakistan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa län). Pashto är ett indo-europiskt språk och alfabetet är baserat på det arabiska alfabetet.

Vad får en person att vända sig till religiös extremism? Hur kommer det sig att en individ uppvuxen i det svenska välfärdssamhället ansluter sig till en ökänd terrororganisation? Och vad händer sedan när terrorns verklighet bryter ner idealen och får samma individ att helst bara fly därifrån? Hägringen som var kalifatet är en roman som närmar sig dessa frågor i den fiktiva berättelsens form. Vi får följa med på Abdullahs både fysiska och andliga resa som tar sin början i en nedslagen själ i den svenska förorten. Den går vidare igenom samhällets skuggvärldar innan den stannar till mitt i det brinnande inbördeskriget i Syrien - ett krig som visar sig vara allt annat än det Abdullah hade hoppats på. Drömmen om kalifat och krig för Guds skull förbyts till mardröm när Abdullah tvingas möta konsekvenserna av de val han gjort.

Called "a major innovator in his art form" by "The New York Times", Baghdad-born poet Abdul Wahab Al-Bayati broke with over fifteen centuries of Arabic poetic tradition to write in free verse and became world famous in the process. "Love, Death, and Exile: Poems Translated from Arabic" is a rare, bilingual facing-page edition in both the original Arabic text and a highly praised English translation by Bassam K. Frangieh, containing selections from eight of Al-Bayati's books of poetry. Forced to spend much of his life in exile from his native Iraq, Al-Bayati created poetry that is not only revolutionary and political, but also steeped in mysticism and allusion, moving and full of longing. This collection is a superb introduction to Al-Bayati, Arabic language, and Arabic literature and culture as well. On Al-Bayati's death in 1999, "The New York Times" obituary quoted him as saying once that his many years of absence from his homeland had been a "tormenting experience" that had great impact on his poetry. "I always dream at night that I am in Iraq and hear its heart beating and smell its fragrance carried by the wind, especially after midnight when it's quiet".

How do good young men become religious extremists? Are they inherently evil, or is their transformation a result of more complex factors we haven´t considered? When a journalist fishes out some torn notebooks from an abandoned shelter in Syria, what he finds is a story rarely told: that of a rebel in his last days, looking back and recounting all of the events that led to him becoming another casualty of a senseless war. Written from the perspective of a young Muslim growing up in post-9/11 America, the soldier´s narrative analyzes the ingredients of radicalization, from rampant anti-Muslim prejudice to the failures of the criminal justice system - and the sense of injustice this breeds in incarcerated communities. The diaries, often laced with both theology and street-smart humor, tell the story of how easily self-righteousness is misdirected, and that of a man resigned to paying the ultimate cost for his choices.

This book is a part of series of Causes of Celebrations written by Moshe Bar Kepha (813-903). These Causes are unique in that they demonstrate a new genre of the Syriac literature initiated by the East Syriac authors at the beginning of the sixth century. Moreover, these Causes reveal the appreciation and dependency of Moshe Bar Kepha on the East Syriac sources despite the ecclesiastical doctrinal separation between the East Syriac and West Syriac churches.

Staden med dess problem och möjligheter har hamnat på dagordningen i europeisk politik. I Sverige är det framför allt den etniska segregeringen i storstäderna som blivit den utlösande faktorn för en nationellt övergripande stadspolitik. På lokal nivå finns också andra utmaningar som tävlar om politikernas uppmärksamhet. Med satsningar på spektakulära byggnader och kulturella evenemang vill man öka den egna stadens dragningskraft i konkurrens med andra orter. Läs mer om boken på studentlitteratur.se
