Mengapa orang-orang beriman pada abad dua puluh tidak mempedulikan ancaman-ancaman penyiksa…

E-book Islam and The Making of The Nation: Kartosuwiryo and Political Islam i…

For decades, scholars of Indonesia have rejected the religious claims of the Darul Islam movement, interpreting the antagonism between the Islamic state and Soekarno’s republic as a fight for power, self-assertion, or land rights. Recently Kartosuwiryo and the Darul Islam have become heroic symbols of the local Islamist struggle, offering an alternative vision of this politician. The author l…

E-book Islam, Humanity and the Indonesian Identity

"Islam exists in global history with its richly variegated cultural and social realities. When these specific cultural contexts are marginalized, Islam is reduced to an ahistorical religion without the ability to contribute to humanity. This limited understanding of Islam has been a contributing factor in many of the violent conflicts in the present day. Reflecting on Islam in Indonesia, the wo…

E-book Placing Islam: Geographies of Connection in Twentieth-Century Istanbul

For centuries, the Mosque of Eyu?p Sultan has been one of Istanbul’s most important pilgrimage destinations, in large part because of the figure buried in the tomb at its center: Halid bin Zeyd Ebû Eyûb el-Ensârî, a Companion of the Prophet Muhammad.

The New American Bible

On September 30, 1943, His Holiness Pope Pius XII issued his now famous encyclical on scripture studies. Divino afflante Spiritu.

This can be done all the more easily and fruitfully if to…

E-book Early Christians Adapting to the Roman Empire : Mutual Recognition

As far as is hermeneutically possible, scholars should allow the text to com-municate its own intentions, even if its message is strange or displeasing—and there is at least one displeasing passage in the New Testament, Romans 13:1–7. Roland Boer aptly states that it is “the stumbling block ... for those who inter-pret the New Testament as an anti-imperial and anti-colonial colle…

E-book Cosmic Christology in Paul and the Pauline School : Colossians and Eph…

eflections on God, Christ and cosmos in the writings of Paul and the Pauline School show that these authors were familiar with important notions from Graeco-Roman cosmology and theology. George van Kooten comes to the conclusion that they might even have adopted a way of thinking in which Judaism and Graeco-Roman cosmology were forged into a new synthesis, and Christ was viewed as a cosmic god.…

E-book Japanese Warrior Monks ad 949 - 1603

Buddhism is popularly regarded in the West as being a very peaceful religion, but this way by no means the image presented by the famous warrior monks of medieval Japan.

n a sunny, crisp morning in May 2008, I traveled by bus to Sipoo, a town east of Helsinki, to interview Anna.

Slightly nervous, as always when meeting new interviewees, I rang her doorbell, and Anna came to the d…

E-book A Peculiar Glory : How the Christian Scriptures Reveal their Complete …

There is a story behind every book. That is certainly true here. This introduction is not that story; my story comes in chapter 1. But I think it will be helpful to signal immediately why glory figures so largely in this book. My seven decades of experience with the Bible have not been mainly a battle to hold on. They have been a blessing of being held on to, namely, by beauty—that is, by glo…

E-book All That Jesus Commanded : The Christian Life According to the Gospel

Actually, the final command was more precise than that. He did not say, “Teach them all my commandments.” He said, “Teach them to observe all my commandments.” You can teach a parrot all of Jesus’s commandments.

rantor, on the one hand, can be understood as the Empire in its most unbridled form, colonising and governing all surrounding worlds and extracting from them what the Empire required for its own inhabitants.
