Book excerpt: From one of the most popular historians writing today comes a book as fascinating as the bestsellers of Karen Armstrong and Reza Aslan. In this captivating chronicle, Martin Gilbert shines new light on a controversial dilemma in the modern world: the troubled relationship between Jews and Muslims. Beginning at the dawn of Islam and sweeping from the Atlantic Ocean to the mountains of Afghanistan, Gilbert presents the first popular and authoritative history of Jewish peoples under Muslim rule. He confronts with wisdom and compassion the stormy events in their dramatic story, including anti-Zionist movements and the forced exodus to Israel. He also gives special attention to the twentieth century and to the current political debate about refugee status and restitution. Throughout, Gilbert weaves a compelling narrative of perseverance, struggle, and renewal marked by surprising moments of tolerance and partnership. A monumental and timely book, Jews under Muslim Rule is a crowning achievement that confirms Martin Gilbert as one of the foremost historians of our time.

Book Synopsis Isaac and Ishmael by : Mary Frances Burns
Download or read book Isaac and Ishmael written by Mary Frances Burns and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham's divine and mythic destiny is to be the father of not just one but two great peoples: the Hebrews and the Arabs. His son Ishmael was born to an Egyptian princess who was a captive slave in his household, at a point in the patriarch's life when he despaired of having any children by his wife Sarah. But then the three mysterious messengers of Yahweh appear and tell him that Sarah, in her old age, will conceive a son. Ishmael and his mother, Hagar, are sent into the desert by Sarah, jealous of her husband's affection for his first-born son. And so the trouble begins.... This work of fiction follows the familiar story lines in the Hebrew Bible (Christian Old Testament) but presents individual persons on a human scale in order to explore the thorny, complex and delicate relations between these brothers, who live in a place where time and eternity touch. A new God is coming into being here: Yahweh, the uncanny, irascible, mischievous, bargaining God who participates in the life of a new people and compels them to a new way of being human.
Book Synopsis Jacob & Esau by : Malachi Haim Hacohen
Download or read book Jacob & Esau written by Malachi Haim Hacohen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 757 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacob and Esau is a profound new account of two millennia of Jewish European history that, for the first time, integrates the cosmopolitan narrative of the Jewish diaspora with that of traditional Jews and Jewish culture. Malachi Haim Hacohen uses the biblical story of the rival twins, Jacob and Esau, and its subsequent retelling by Christians and Jews throughout the ages as a lens through which to illuminate changing Jewish-Christian relations and the opening and closing of opportunities for Jewish life in Europe. Jacob and Esau tells a new history of a people accustomed for over two-and-a-half millennia to forming relationships, real and imagined, with successive empires but eagerly adapting, in modernity, to the nation-state, and experimenting with both assimilation and Jewish nationalism. In rewriting this history via Jacob and Esau, the book charts two divergent but intersecting Jewish histories that together represent the plurality of Jewish European cultures.

Book Synopsis Israel and Ishmael by : Tudor Parfitt
Download or read book Israel and Ishmael written by Tudor Parfitt and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2000 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the relationship between Jews and Muslims has its roots in German nineteenth century oriental scholarships. Some of the chief contributors to the discourse were Jews who wished to highlight the tolerance of the Muslim states towards Jews as a way of reproaching contemporary German society for inequalities which Jews suffered. With the growth of Zionism and an associated historiography, Zionist historians tended to accentuate the sufferings of Jews in Islamic countries. In recent times the focus of scholarship has been on shared features rather than on denunciation, and this volume, written by leading scholars from the Arab world, Israel, Europe, and the United States, follows in this tradition. The main focus of this work is the modern period. The situation of the Jews and their relationship with their Arab neighbors in Lebanon, the Yemen, Tunisia, Morocco and Israel/Palestine are covered in this volume.
Book Synopsis Ishmael and Islam Vs. Isaac and Christianity by : Dan Gayman
Download or read book Ishmael and Islam Vs. Isaac and Christianity written by Dan Gayman and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once again the sons of Ishmael have struck terror into the hearts of the Anglo-Saxon world. On the bright and beautiful morning of September 11, 2001, nineteen Muslim hijackers, all foreign nationals, without warning or provocation, commandeered four American passenger jets with women and children aboard, headed to West Coast destinations. Three of these four jetliners were turned into guided missiles that left almost 3,000 American civilians dead, 15,000 orphan children, one hundred billion in property damage, and an estimated one trillion in business losses. The number of dead and property loses far exceeded any event to ever transpire on the soil of the United States of America. This 9/11 event has caused the whole world to carefully examine the Muslim world, and they have correctly identified the sons of Ishmael as the nineteen hijackers born in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Now that the whole world knows who Ishmael is, the time has come for the world to identify Isaac. If the sons of Ishmael, originating with Father Abraham, can be identified, why not the millions descended from Abraham through Isaac as well? In the pages of this book you will not only examine the age old rivalry between Ishmael and Isaac, but more important, you will discover the identification of both of these peoples in modern history. The incredible story of Isaac vs. Ishmael will transform your understanding of the Bible and the front page of your hometown newspaper.
Book Synopsis Ishmael Instructs Isaac by : John Kaltner
Download or read book Ishmael Instructs Isaac written by John Kaltner and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jews, Christians, and Muslims trace their roots to Abraham and yet it is a shock to many Bible readers that some of the characters and stories in their sacred text are also found in the pages of Islam's sacred text, the Qur'an. By exploring the relationship between the Bible and the Qur'an in Ishmael Instructs Isaac, John Kaltner challenges Bible readers to think about their sacred book in new, exciting ways. In doing so, he leads all to a better appreciation of Islam. After a brief overview of the text, themes, structure, and use of the Qur'an, Kaltner focuses on traditions that are shared with the Bible. He explains that the Bible and Qur'an contain many of the same themes, figures, and episodes. However, at times, there are significant differences in their descriptions of the same event or figure. By discussing such topics and figures as God, humanity, prophecy, creation, life after death, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Mary, Kaltner examines the similarities and differences between the two texts. This comparative method allows readers to better appreciate both what is distinctive about Islam and what it shares with Judaism and Christianity. Jews and Christians view Isaac as the son of Abraham in whom the family line continued. Muslims, on the other hand, view Isaac's brother Ishmael as the rightful heir. This difference must not obscure what is held in common: a belief in the one God and a family - albeit distant - relationship. Written for undergraduate and seminary courses on Islam, the Qur'an, comparative religions, inter-religious dialogue, world scriptures, and biblical interpretation, Ishmael Instructs Isaac is also a useful resource for discussion groups in churches, synagogues, and mosques. Includes English translations of the Qur'anic texts discussed. John Kaltner, PhD, is assistant professor of religious studies at Rhodes College where he teaches courses in the Bible and Islam. He has worked in the Middle East with the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America.

Download or read book Abraham written by Joseph Blenkinsopp and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this discursive commentary Joseph Blenkinsopp explores the story of Abraham -- iconic ancestor of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam -- as told in Genesis 11-25. Presented in continuous discussion rather than in verse-by-verse form, Blenkinsopp s commentary focuses on the literary and theological artistry of the narrative as a whole. Blenkinsopp discussses a range of issues raised in the Abraham saga, including confirmation of God s promises, Isaac s sacrifice and the death of Jesus, and Abraham s other beloved son, Ishmael. Each chapter has a section called Filling in the Gaps, which probes some of the vast amount of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic commentary that the basic Genesis text has generated through the ages. In an epilogue Blenkinsopp looks at Abraham in early Christianity and expresses his own views, as a Christian, on Abraham. Readers of Blenkinsopp s Abraham: The Story of a Life will surely come away with a deeper, richer understanding of this seminal ancient figure.
