Del 1 - Studies on the Children of Abraham
Encounters of the Children of Abraham from Ancient to Modern Times
AvAntii Laato,Pekka Lindqvist
Inbunden, Engelska, 2010
2 540 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Christianity, Judaism and Islam - the Children of Abraham - constitute the spiritual foundations of Western civilization. They affect the interactions of entire nations and individuals, though their history is often understood as one of conflict and controversy. The present volume documents past encounters and confrontations, though it also shows that the history of the three faiths is not merely one of conflict but also one of co-existence and dialogue. The rich shared theological traditions of the Abrahamic religions provide positive encouragement to present-day meetings between their followers. The book contains 16 contributions by scholars from various fields of religious studies. It should appeal to everyone interested in interreligious encounters.
Del 2 - Studies on the Children of Abraham
Monotheism & Ethics
Historical and Contemporary Intersections among Judaism, Christianity and Islam
Inbunden, Engelska, 2011
2 387 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The nexus between monotheism and ethics, especially in the forms professed by the three Abrahamic faiths, is the theme that binds together the studies in this volume. Fourteen leading academics from around the world discuss philosophical and theological connections, historical interactions, as well as responses to new and contemporary issues. Most, though not all of the essays, find a meaningful connection between monotheism and ethics; but none shy away from the problems involved.
Del 5 - Studies on the Children of Abraham
Jewish-Muslim Relations in Past and Present
A Kaleidoscopic View
AvJosef Meri
Inbunden, Engelska, 2017
2 068 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This volume assembles multidisciplinary research on the Judaeo-Islamic tradition in medieval and modern contexts. The introduction discusses the nature of this tradition and proposes the more fluid and inclusive designation of “Jewish-Muslim Relations.” Contributions highlight diverse aspects of Jewish-Muslim relations in medieval and modern contexts, including the academic study of Jewish history, the Qur’anic notion of the “upright community” referring to the “People of the Book,” Jews in medieval fatwas, use of Arabic and Hebrew script, Jewish prayer in Christian Europe and the Islamic world, the permissibility of Arabic music in modern Jewish thought, Jewish and Muslim feminist exegesis, modern Sephardic and Morisco identity, popular Tunisian song, Jewish-Muslim relations in cinema and A.S. Yehuda’s study of an 11th-century Jewish mystic.
Del 10 - Studies on the Children of Abraham
Soul and Body Diseases, Remedies and Healing in Middle Eastern Religious Cultures and Traditions
AvCatalin-Stefan Popa
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023
2 779 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Aiming to develop a less studied literary genre, this book provides a well-rounded picture of spiritual and physical diseases and their remedies as they were ingrained in the imagination and practices of Middle Eastern Abrahamic cultures, with a special emphasis of Christian communities (Greeks/Byzantines, Syrians, Armenians, Georgians, Ethiopians). The volume traces traditions dealing with the onset of a disease in the body and soul, the search for remedy, the maintenance of healing, and the engagement of these processes with faith—either through their affirmation in the public sphere or remaining within the personal framework, as in monastic traditions. A recurring presence in religious literature and the history of the intellectual world, the confrontation between disease and healing may well still be current for our modern understanding of the paths to seeking and maintaining the health of one’s body and soul, without excluding the factor of faith as a core principle.
Del 11 - Studies on the Children of Abraham
Strangers in the Land: Traveling Texts, Imagined Others, and Captured Souls in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Traditions in Late Antique and Mediaeval Times
AvMiriam L. Hjälm
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024
1 847 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This volume explores the ways in which representatives of different monotheistic traditions experienced themselves as “the other” or were perceived and described as such by their contemporaries. This central category – which includes not only those of different religions, but also converts, foreigners, sectarians, and women – is studied from various perspectives in a range of texts composed by Jewish, Christian, and Muslim authors during late antique and mediaeval times. Conceptualizations of such “others” are often intrinsically related to the idea of exile, another important category that is analysed in this work.
Del 12 - Studies on the Children of Abraham
Between Universalism and Particularism: The Reception of Noah, Abraham and Jacob Stories
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
2 346 kr
Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
The study deals with Jewish and Christian reception of the Book of Genesis and how the concepts “universalism” and “particularism” are used in Noah, Abraham and Jacob stories before the rise of Islam. As a synthesis of its discussed topics, the volume is a useful resource to understand early development of universalistic and particularistic ideas which became central theological topics in the three Abrahamic religions.
Del 3 - Studies on the Children of Abraham
Christian Identity amid Islam in Medieval Spain
AvCharles L. Tieszen
Inbunden, Engelska, 2013
2 186 kr
Tillfälligt slut
In Christian Identity amid Islam in Medieval Spain Charles L. Tieszen explores a small corpus of texts from medieval Spain in an effort to deduce how their authors defined their religious identity in light of Islam, and in turn, how they hoped their readers would distinguish themselves from the Muslims in their midst. It is argued that the use of reflected self-image as a tool for interpreting Christian anti-Muslim polemic allows such texts to be read for the self-image of their authors instead of the image of just those they attacked. As such, polemic becomes a set of borders authors offered to their communities, helping them to successfully navigate inter-religious living.
