Book Synopsis Mary and Jesus in Islam by : Yasin T. al-Jibouri
Download or read book Mary and Jesus in Islam written by Yasin T. al-Jibouri and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-12-19 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: YASIN T. AL-JIBOURI is an Iraqi-American writer, author, editor and translator who has as many as 54 titles to his credit. Details of these works and of his other activities are provided in the Preface to this book as well as front cover images of some of these works on pages 46-75. He holds a Masters' degree in English from an American university, and he taught English in his home country, Iraq, and in Saudi Arabia and the United States. Presently, he is writing his major work titled Allah: The Concept of God in Islam in two volumes as well as A Dictionary of Islamic Terms, also in two volumes. This book is an attempt to bring Christians and Muslims of the world closer to each other, to bridge the gap between, to establish an alliance among them, so that they may together be able to face the challenges of the present and of the future. One of these challenges is extremism, the new menacing plague that is endangering the lives of so many people from both creeds and from others. Knowledge, right and accurate knowledge, is powerful, and such power can be put to good use: to clear misconceptions, remove doubts and suspicions and establish trust and understanding among followers of both creeds. Philosophically, this book cites many first-hand references to prove that, unfortunately, present day Christianity, regardless of any of its many denominations, has truly distanced itself from the original word preached by Jesus Christ. It traces the times and circumstances when concepts of "son of God", "Holy Trinity" and "salvation" crept into Christianity and distorted the pristine faith brought by Christ. At the same time, it highlights Qur'anic verses that beautifully paint a portrait of Jesus Christ and his saintly virgin mother, Mary, testifying to the truth brought by Christ, to his miracles, guidance and truth. The information is presented in a flowing style that captures the attention of any reader, including one who just is looking for a good story to enjoy.
Book Synopsis Christ and Reconciliation by : Veli-Matti Krkkinen
Download or read book Christ and Reconciliation written by Veli-Matti Krkkinen and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-26 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Christ and Reconciliation Veli-Matti Karkkainen develops a constructive Christology and theology of salvation in dialogue with the best of Christian tradition, with contemporary theology in its global and contextual diversity, and with other major living faiths. Karkkainen's Constructive Christian Theology for the Pluralistic World is a five-volume project that aims to develop a new approach to and method of doing Christian theology in our pluralistic world at the beginning of the third millennium. Topics such as diversity, inclusivity, violence, power, cultural hybridity, and justice are part of the constructive theological discussion along with classical topics such as the messianic consciousness, incarnation, atonement, and the person of Christ. With the metaphor of hospitality serving as the framework for his discussion, Karkkainen engages Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism in sympathetic and critical mutual dialogue while remaining robustly Christian in his convictions. Never before has a full-scale doctrinal theology been attempted in such a wide and deep dialogical mode.
Download or read book The Muslim Jesus written by Tarif Khalidi and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2003-04-30 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents in English translation the largest collection ever assembled of the sayings and stories of Jesus in Arabic Islamic literature. In doing so, it traces a tradition of love and reverence for Jesus that has characterized Islamic thought for more than a thousand years. An invaluable resource for the history of religions, the collection documents how one culture, that of Islam, assimilated the towering religious figure of another, that of Christianity. As such, it is a work of great significance for the understanding of both, and of profound implications for modern-day intersectarian relations and ecumenical dialogue. Tarif Khalidi’s introduction and commentaries place the sayings and stories in their historical context, showing how and why this “gospel” arose and the function it served within Muslim devotion. The Jesus that emerges here is a compelling figure of deep and life-giving spirituality. The sayings and stories, some 300 in number and arranged in chronological order, show us how the image of this Jesus evolved throughout a millennium of Islamic history.
Book Synopsis Routledge Handbook on Christian-Muslim Relations by : David Thomas
Download or read book Routledge Handbook on Christian-Muslim Relations written by David Thomas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-16 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The matter of Christian–Muslim relations cannot be ignored these days. While the term itself may not appear all that often, relations between the two faiths and their reciprocal perceptions are undeniable influences behind many current conflicts, declarations of mutual recognition and peace negotiations, not to mention the brooding hatred of religious extremists. Since 9/11, relations between the two faiths have, in one form or another, hardly been away from the news. This Handbook contains fundamental information about the major aspects of relations between Christians and Muslims. Its various sections follow the history from the early seventh century to the present, the major religious issues that have led to disputes between the two faiths, and the political implications of religious differences at various stages through history, as well as in the present. It includes analysis of scriptural and theological themes and explores the characteristics of relations at important points in history and also in various parts of the world today. Chapters are devoted to the most significant intellectual interpretations and encounters, the main armed clashes, including the Crusades, and the important documents issued by each faith that in recent years have led the way towards new developments in recognition and acceptance. With chapters written by some of the foremost experts in the field, the book traces the largely dark history of relations and explains the underlying reasons why Muslims and Christians have found tolerance and respect for the other difficult. It is an excellent resource for understanding the past and for highlighting lessons for future relations between the world’s two largest religions.
Book Synopsis The Islamic Jesus by : Daniel Deleanu
Download or read book The Islamic Jesus written by Daniel Deleanu and published by Writers Club Press. This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The religion founded by Mohammad gives primacy to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses, and, although it may be a surprise to many Christians, considers Jesus one of the prominent religious figures of Islam. The Islamic Jesus is a book for all those who are interested in Christology, in which Daniel Deleanu brings together both canonical and traditional Islamic texts, adding a new facet to the image of Jesus in this often misunderstood religion. Deleanu shows that there are substantial discrepancies between the canonical and the apocryphal portraits of Jesus in Islam. Alongside the authoritative Koranic stories of Jesus, this anthology presents traditional accounts from the Hadith and other less known sources, whom Daniel Deleanu has collected and co-translated to produce a genuine Islamic gospel.

Book Synopsis Jesus and Jihad by : Robert F. Shedinger
Download or read book Jesus and Jihad written by Robert F. Shedinger and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-06-22 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few words inspire more fear in Americans these days than jihad. Its mere utterance conjures up images of car bombs exploding in crowded mrkets; Boeing 737s crashing into tall buildings; and flag-burning, gun-toting bearded Arab men shouting, "allahu akbar" and "Death to America!" But what if all our stereotypical images of jihad are wrong, and when rightly understood, jihad turns out to be the perfect lens through which to understand the life and mission of Jesus? Jesus and Jihad argues that in early Muslim sources jihad stood for the struggle to transform a violent and unjust pre-Islamic society into one characterized by greater levels of justice and peace. When rescued from his Christian pietistic misinterpretations, Jesus emerges as a highly prophetic figure of resistance to the injustices authorized by Roman imperial power. As Muslims reengage an authentic understanding of jihad, and Christians, through a renewed understanding of jihad, meet the prophetic Jesus from whom they have become estranged, a new era of Christian-Muslim cooperation in the struggle against injustice can become the norm, replacing the current antipathy dividing these communities with a passion to reclaim once again a prophetic heart in service to a hurting world.
Book Synopsis Emotion in Christian and Islamic Contemplative Texts, 1100–1250 by : A. S. Lazikani
Download or read book Emotion in Christian and Islamic Contemplative Texts, 1100–1250 written by A. S. Lazikani and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-07 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comparative study of emotion in Arabic Islamic and English Christian contemplative texts, c. 1110-1250, contributing to the emerging interest in ‘globalization’ in medieval studies. A.S.Lazikani argues for the necessity of placing medieval English devotional texts in a more global context and seeks to modify influential narratives on the ‘history of emotions’ to enable this more wide-ranging critical outlook. Across eight chapters, the book examines the dialogic encounters generated by comparative readings of Muhyddin Ibn ‘Arabi (1165-1240), ‘Umar Ibn al-Fārid (1181-1235), Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtarī (d. 1269), Ancrene Wisse (c. 1225), and the Wooing Group (c. 1225). Investigating the two-fold ‘paradigms of love’ in the figure of Jesus and in the image of the heart, the (dis)embodied language of affect, and the affective semiotics of absence and secrecy, Lazikani demonstrates an interconnection between the religious traditions of early Christianity and Islam.
Book Synopsis Jesus in the Bible - Jesus in the Quran by : Mohammad A. Mughal
Download or read book Jesus in the Bible - Jesus in the Quran written by Mohammad A. Mughal and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-27 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is unique in this book is that it shows beautiful verses about the extraordinary character of Jesus. At the same time, the author reveals how Christian scholars have discovered contradiction, translation errs, and lies in the Bible and these cannot serve as the sound basis for moral guidance. A penetrating and insightful investigation into the mysterious life of Jesus. This book presents the life of Jesus and many traditional beliefs. He is loved both by Christians and Muslims. Many miracles of Jesus can be found in the Quran. Jesus said one cannot serve two Masters: God and Money. But Vatican Bank is reported to have $8 Billion which seems to be a contradiction to the teachings of Jesus. Churches are unable to stop the moral decay in the society with growing use of drugs, liquor, gambling, violence, scandals, abortions, divorces, and family disintegration resulting in the decline of Christianity. This book is intended to create a debate about the true life of Jesus who was a great Prophet and a spirit from God. He chose to live a life of poverty. Majority of the Christians are kind and generous people but they are not fully aware of the spiritual life of Jesus. There are many books, movies, television shows which do not correctly reflect the true life of Jesus. Likewise, there are thousands of different false images of Jesus. To the contrary, the Quran and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad describe the pure character and life of Jesus. In the Bible, Jesus says: "Love thy enemy" and "Do not retaliate." However, unjust wars have been launched, in the last few years, by leaders claiming to be true Christians. This book presents a comparative analysis about the life of Jesus from the Christian as well as Islamic perspective.

Book Synopsis Tracing Jesus in the Bible and the Quran by : Fred Maina Macharia
Download or read book Tracing Jesus in the Bible and the Quran written by Fred Maina Macharia and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2004-03-12 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2003 in the subject Theology - Comparative Religion Studies, grade: cum laude, Concordia University Montreal (Concordia Theologica Instiute; Neffs, Penns., USA), language: English, abstract: This paper sets out to examine the presence of Jesus Christ as presented in the Holy Quran. This is presented from the perspective of a twentieth century African Christian after an objective reading of the Holy Quran and some Hadith literature. Jesus comes through as a prophet and messenger of Allah, with whom Allah has established unique relationship and about whom the last word is not yet spoken. The Quran comes through as a great defender of what it reveals as the true nature and identity of Jesus, against different and conflicting misrepresentations of Jesus by rival Christian groups. The Quran presents a Jesus in whom Allah is greatly interested. Allah identifies and prepares Mary the mother of Jesus and entrusts her to the care of Zachariah. Allah gives a gift of a son to Zachariah in their old age; this son is John and called “Yahya” in the Quran. Allah then gives a Word from Himself to Mary. This word from Allah given to Mary becomes Jesus a son born of a virgin mother. Allah himself through the ministry of Angels and nature arranges for and takes care of Mary’s confinement and post-delivery care till Allah presents her back to her people with her infant son Jesus who as an infant miraculously spoke in defense of his mother. The Quran presents a Jesus who delivers a message to the children of Israel only. A Jesus who performs miracles and a Jesus who is rescued by Allah from the threat of being crucified by the Jews Allah takes Jesus unto Himself and before the day of judgement Jesus will come to do the will of Allah. After reading all the references of Jesus in the Quran, one develops an interest in this Prophet and Messenger of Allah and asks many questions about him. However, the Quran is silent. This silence of the Quran about so much historical information about Jesus becomes very loud and problematic. The quotations from the Holy Quran in this paper are from Ali, Abdullah Yusuf: The Holy Quran: Arabic Text, Translation and Commentary, University of New York Press, 1991. The purpose of this paper is:- 1. Trace Jesus in the Holy Quran 2. Compare and contrast the Jesus in the Quran and the Bible 3. Help Christian to understand Islam Religion and being able to answer the basic system of doctrine of a Muslim. 4. Have a picture of Jesus through the eyes of a Muslim and a Christian.
