Download or read book Syrian Christians under Islam, the First Thousand Years written by David Thomas and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains papers from the Third Woodbrooke-Mingana Symposium on Arab Christianity and Islam (September 1998) on the theme of "Arab Christianity in Bilâd al-Shâm (Greater Syria) in the pre-Ottoman Period". It presents aspects of Syrian Christian life and thought during the first millennium of Islamic rule. Among the eight contributing scholars are Sidney Griffith on ninth-century Christological controversies, Samir K. Samir on the Prophet Muhammed seen through Arab Christian eyes, Lawrence Conrad on the physician Ibn Butlân, and Lucy-Anne Hunt on Muslim influence on Christian book illustrations. There is also a foreword by the Syrian Orthodox Archbishop of Aleppo. The picture that emerges is of community life developing in its own way and finding a distinctive character, as Christians responded to the social and intellectual influences of Islam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tragic war in Syria along with the plight of the Christians there remains among the most misunderstood situations in the world today. Syria Crucified seeks to contribute to better understanding in the West by giving a voice to individual Syrian Christians living in exile from their homeland. These men and women have undergone horrific trauma and loss without losing their faith in God or the ability to forgive their persecutors. Their first-person accounts, framed by the authors' narration for historical, cultural, and geopolitical context, are both edifying and inspiring.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK"The Nasranis, The St. Thomas Christians of Kerala, India" is a compilation of the religious and cultural matters of a group of people who believe that St. Thomas, one of the Apostles of Jesus Christ, founded their Church in the first century A. D. itself. Even though physical proofs are circumstantial for a modern view, their belief is based on the legends and stories they were told from generation to generation from the first century of the Christian Era till now, which hopefully will continue forever.The book also touches the history of early civilization of India and the great philosophies which lead to the birth of many Indian religions, and how religions from outside the country were welcomed and let flourish. To enhance appreciation of the survival of this unique group, a brief account of early Christianity as well as Christian activities of the East and the West (European) also is given. All in all, the book is expected to enlighten the readers by the information and opinions given herein. Molly K. Varghese author

This book was released on 2008-10-03 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's tensions between the 'Islamic' East and 'Christian' West run high. Here Paul-Gordon Chandler presents fresh thinking in the area of Christian-Muslim relations, showing how Christ_whom Islam reveres as a Prophet and Christianity worships as the divine Messiah_can close the gap between the two religions. Historically, Christians have taken a confrontational or missionary approach toward Islam, leading many Muslims to identify Christianity with the cultural prejudices and hegemonic ambitions of Westerners. On the individual level, Christ-followers within Islam have traditionally been encouraged by Christians to break away from their Muslim communities. Chandler boldly explores how these two major religions_which share much common heritage_can not only co-exist, but also enrich each other. He illustrates his perspective with examples from the life of Syrian novelist Mazhar Mallouhi, widely read in the Middle East. Mallouhi, a self-identified 'Sufi Muslim follower of Christ,' seeks to bridge the chasm of misunderstanding between Muslims and Christians through his novels.

Download or read book The Syrian Christ written by Abraham Rihbany and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The striking contrasts in Oriental and Western types of thought and expression have often proved grave obstacles to our understanding of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. It is to overcome some of these difficulties and to illumine from a new angle the life and teachings of Jesus that Mr. Rihbany has written 'The Syrian Christ.' The author's birth and early training, in Oriental surroundings little changed since the days of Jesus, and his thorough schooling for the last twenty-five years in American life and progressive Western thought specially qualify him to interpret the biblical atmosphere and customs in terms that appeal to the American mind. We must not forget that Jesus Christ was a Syrian peasant and that his message comes to us in an Oriental garb....Mr. Rihbany's delightful discourses on the customs of the common folk of Syria, drawn in part from his own early experience, and illumined by his wealth of historical and literary knowledge, will give the reader a sympathetic understanding of biblical incidents and teachings. The author does not write a story of Jesus' life, but rather makes clearer many of its episodes and much of the Master's teachings." -The Independent "Fresh light on the life and teachings of Christ, for Jesus, as a prophet and seer, belongs to all races and all ages, but in His modes of thought and life, he was distinctly a Syrian.. Mr. Rihbany...is eminently fitted by temperament, antecedents, and experience to interpret the Christ of the Gospel in the terms of his native country." -Friends' Intelligencer "Mr. Rihbany interprets the famous passages regarding non-resistance to evil, loving one's enemies, turning the other cheek, as hyperbolic Oriental sayings tending to decrease brutal conduct and to make tranquil living a disposition among men." -Current Opinion "This interesting book, written by Mr. Abraham Mitrie Rihbany, a Syrian by birth and, as he says in his preface, an American by choice, will prove most helpful to unlearned and untraveled readers." -The Contemporary Review "Here in this book one breathes the atmosphere of the land of Jesus, and Jesus talks to us as he did to his first disciples." -The Homiletic Review "In its insight into Syrian life the book is delightful; in its interpretation of the teachings of Jesus it is inspiring." -New York Herald "Not merely a volume for the minister's study; it is for the library of every student of the Bible." -New York Evening Post "When a Syrian scholar discusses the Syrian Christ and seeks to interpret Him in the light of a familiar knowledge of His land and people, the consequences cannot fail to be edifying, especially when the motives are constructive and the purpose is to throw light." -The Living Church "Many interesting chapters on speaking in parables, swearing, imprecations, family feasts, the treatment of guests, the market place, the housetop, the vineyard and the shepherds. The writer came to this country a penniless immigrant, and lost his faith in Protestant surroundings. He is a champion of 'undogmatic' Christianity, and gives forth some undigested statements about the simple faith of Christ being changed into an authoritative creed by ambitious ecclesiastics and politicians." -Catholic World

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'So much of the reporting of the Middle East at the moment reflects war and human misery; it's inspiring to find, in this thoughtful and engaging book, a message of hope from what Fr Nadim calls "that region of the world that God chose to live in when he took human form"' Edward Stourton 'The ultimate question of this book is, why does it matter to me, a human being, to know the culture of God, and what impact should that have on my own life and existence? The culture of God is the antithesis of the culture of the Pharisees - yet again and again we fall into the trap of condemning or excluding others. Understanding the culture of God helps us to uncover God's image within us, a shining jewel buried deep under the dirt of our selfishness and greed, and helps us to shine as God intends us to, re-forming our relationships with God and with each other in our amazingly diverse world.' It is as we read the Bible, argues Father Nadim Nassar, that we are invited to discover what 'the culture of God' - the community of love that makes up the Trinity - looks like, and how it might transform our lives and our faith. But in order to do so we need to understand the culture of the Bible itself, as well as the particular culture that forms our own worldview. Ultimately it is Jesus who has direct access to the culture of God; and so we also need to understand Jesus within his first-century Levantine context. Father Nadim Nassar is the Church of England's only Syrian priest and an outspoken advocate for western Christians to recognise the Middle-Eastern roots of their faith. The fresh and provocative reflections in The Culture of God, his first book, are informed by his experience of growing up in Syria and living through the conflicts in the region, especially the civil wars in Lebanon and Syria. Taking us on a journey through the mystery of the incarnation, to Jesus' role as storyteller - Al-Hakawati - his relationship with a disparate cast of people as narrated by the gospels, and finally his death and resurrection, Father Nadim unfolds for us the culture of God and what it can mean for a world that so desperately needs both freedom and a way to embrace diversity. 'Fr Nadim's personal experience of the painful effects of war and conflict in the Middle East is an insightful lens into the brokenness of humanity that leads to the ongoing violation of the God-given sanctity and dignity of life. At the same time, the paradox of the Crucifixion and Christianity is presented as a key to understanding the restoration of that same humanity, and the possibility of reconciliation with God and one another if the life and teachings of Christ are truly lived.' Archbishop Angaelos, Coptic Orthodox Archbishop of London

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This in-depth study on the realm of death presents a message of hope held by the first generation of Christians and the early church. Using Scripture, patristic tradition, early Christian poetry, and liturgical texts, Archbishop Hilarion explores the mysterious and enigmatic event of Christ⿿s descent into Hades and its consequences for the human race. Insisting that Christ entered Sheol as Conqueror and not as victim, the author depicts the Lord⿿s descent as an event of cosmic significance opening the path to universal salvation. He also reveals Hades as a place of divine presence, a place where the spiritual fate of a person may still change. Reminding readers that self-will remains the only hindrance to life in Christ, he presents the gospel message anew, even in the shadow of death.

Book excerpt: This book evokes the beauty of a bygone era and the vibrant texture of community life through a hundred recipes, engaging recollections, and beautiful photographs. Long before the time of Christ, the lure of spices took traders and seafarers to Kerala, a prosperous and highly literate state on the tropical Malabar Coast of south-western India. Saint Thomas the Apostle also travelled this spice route, preaching to and converting several Brahmin families who later intermarried with the Syrians who settled in Kerala; the Syrian Christians or Nazaranis of Kerala were born of this confluence. Centuries later, ayurvedic massage resorts and scenic backwaters make this lush land a top tourist destination, and spices still draw both traveller and gourmand to the rich, abundant culinary tradition of this people. Meen Vevichathu (Fish Curry cooked in a clay pot), Erachi Olathiathu (Fried Meat), and Njandu Karri (Crab Curry) are among the book's savoury delights, along with varied rice preparations such as Puttu (Steamed Rice Cake), Paalappam (Lace-Rimmed Pancakes), and tropical desserts such as Karikku Pudding (Tender Coconut Pudding) and Thenga Paalum Nendrikkai (Baked Plantain with Coconut Cream). Interwoven between these recipes, in the best tradition of the cookbook memoir, are tales from the past and present, of talking doves, toddy shops, travelling chefs and killer coconuts.
