The discussion of the centrality of the mother image in Judeo-Christian culture and the parallels between the appearance of Mary in the Gospels and the Davidic Mothers in the Hebrew Bible, stresses mutual representations of "the mother of the...

Taking Back Philosophy: A Multicultural Manifesto
ISBN: 9780231184366 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Are American colleges and universities failing their students by refusing to teach the philosophical traditions of China, India, Africa, and other non-Western cultures? This biting and provocative critique of American higher education says yes. Even though we live in an increasingly multicultural world, most philosophy departments stubbornly insist that only Western philosophy is real philosophy and denigrate everything outside the European canon. In Taking Back Philosophy, Bryan W. Van Norden lambastes academic philosophy for its Eurocentrism, insularity, and complicity with...

They...

In The Religious Concordance: Nicholas of Cusa and Christian-Muslim Dialogue, Joshua Hollmann examines Nicholas of Cusa s unique Christocentric approach to Islam.

The author explores the intricate and often varied relationship between the two and considers... Over a century much of Africa south of the Sahara embraced the Christian religion.

What Christians Need to Know about the Quran and Islam
ISBN: 9781498495608 / Angielski / Miękka / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With recent Islamic terrorist attacks, it is hard not to wonder what is being conveyed to believers of Islam on how to treat people of the world, especially unbelievers of Islam. Author John J. Isaias had the same curiosity after viewing the 9/11 attacks, spending the next decade studying Islam and Christianity to see what consisted of this fight over religion. His findings embodied his new doctrinal comparison study, What Christians Need to Know About the Quran and Islam, where he presents a comparison study of the Bible and the Quran. Among the topics he compares and contrasts between...

As the first book to examine violent extremism in all three religions together, Competing Fundamentalisms draws on studies in sociology, psychology, culture, and economics--while focusing on the central role of religious...

Powers of Distinction: On Religion and Modernity
ISBN: 9780226507361 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this major new work, philosopher of religion Nancy Levene examines the elemental character of religion and modernity. Deep in their operating systems, she argues, are dualisms of opposition and identity that cannot be reconciled with the forms of life they ostensibly support. The missing position is neither non-dualism nor multiplication but a second dualism constitutive of mutual relation--relation that risks contestation and even violence but also supports modernity's most innovative ideals: democracy, criticism, and interpretation. In readings from Abraham to the present, Levene...
