Описание: Understanding the Spiritual Meaning of Jerusalem in Three Abrahamic Religions analyzes the historical, social and theological factors which have resulted in Jerusalem being considered a holy place in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It also surveys the transmission of the religious traditions related to Jerusalem. This volume centralizes both the biblical background of Jerusalem’s pivotal role as holy place and its later development in religious writings; the biblical imagery has been adapted, rewritten and modified in Second Temple Jewish writings, the New Testament, patristic and Jewish literature, and Islamic traditions. Thus, all three monotheistic religions have influenced the multifaceted, interpretive traditions which help to understand the current religious and political position of Jerusalem in the three main Abrahamic faiths.

Описание: Among the legends, myths and folklore of every culture on Earth a common narrative pervades them all; the history of people who descended from the sky and created mankind. Augmenting the work of authors who have detailed the fascinating history of these ancient astronauts, Good and Evil demonstrates how they were the foundation of the Abrahamic religions and provides you with the enlightenment you need to determine for yourself who is really working for the benefit of mankind (Good) and who is really working against mankind (Evil). Beyond demystifying subjects that are veiled in symbolism, like alchemy, hermeticism and witchcraft, Good and Evil illuminates occult sciences that not only heighten physical and mental abilities, but extend the human life-span; the secret behind the so-called Fountain of Youth, Holy Grail, Philosopher's Stone, Elixir of Life
These are stories about what clergy of five religions were saying about suffering & evil, sin & Karma, forgiveness, faith, hope, joy, love, sex, God's character, experiencing God, afterlife, scriptures, authority, and the meaning of life. And the stories about the laypeople who were reluctant to voice their continuing doubts to the clergy. Yet, the whispered to the author their deeper concerns.
The book has fourteen chapters that the laypeople are concerned about. In each chapter the clergy of the five religions give their view. Then the laypeople give their doubts.
This is an excellent writing for individual study, group discussions, and comparative religion courses. It is a must read for professionals, educators, and people who want a deeper view of their an other religions. Highly recommended by readers.

Описание: Current tendencies in religious studies and theology show a growing interest for the interchange between religions and the cultures of rationalization surrounding them. The studies published in this volume, based on the international conferences of both the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften and the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, aim to contribute to this field of interest by dealing with concepts and influences of rationalization in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and religion in general. In addition to taking a closer look at the immediate links in the history of tradition between those rationalizing movements and evolutions in religion, emphasis is put on intellectual-historical convergences: Therefore, the articles are led by central comparative questions, such as what factors foster/hinder rationalization?; where are criteria for rationalization drawn from?; in which institutions is rationalization taking place?; who propagates, supports and utilizes rationalization?

Описание: Still in its infancy because of the overly conservative views and methods assumed by the majority of scholars working in it since the mid-19th century, the field of early Islamic and quranic studies is one in which the very basic questions must nowadays be addressed with decision. Accordingly, this book tries to resituate the Qur'an at the crossroads of the conversations of old, to which its parabiblical narratives witness, and explores how Muhammad’s image – which was apparently modelled after that of the anonymous prophet repeatedly alluded to in the Qur'an – originally matched that of other prophets and/or charismatic figures distinctive in the late-antique sectarian milieu out of which Islam gradually emerged. Moreover, it contends that the Quranic Noah narratives provide a first-hand window into the making of Muhammad as an eschatological prophet and further examines their form, content, purpose, and sources as a means of deciphering the scribal and intertextual nature of the Qur'a?n as well as the Jewish-Christian background of the messianic controversy that gave birth to the new Arab religion. The previously neglected view that Muhammad was once tentatively thought of as a new Messiah challenges our common understanding of Islam’s origins.

Описание: In Parables in Changing Contexts , new venues in the comparative study of parables are addressed by scholars of Judaism, New Testament, Buddhism and Islam. Essays cover parables in the synoptic Gospels, Rabbinic midrash, and parabolic tales and fables in the Babylonian Talmud. Three essays address parables in Islam and Buddhism. The volume shows how parables are suitably adapted in terms of form and rhetoric to enhance religious identity formation. Parables serve as media, as sensational forms making the sacred present, albeit encoded or riddled, in all cases invoking the listener’s active interpretative participation and cultural imagination. Adapting a multidisciplinary approach to these gems of storytelling, parables in a particular way provide new insights in the cultures that produced them
