Religious Authority and the Prospects for Religious Pluralism in Indonesia
This book deals with the role and authority of such traditionalist Muslim scholars as A. Mustofa Bisri and Emha Ainun Nadjib in seeding religious pluralism in Indonesia. It shows that it is not necessary to base religious pluralism on "liberal" or "modernist" stances but rather on "traditionalist" attitudes. Religious pluralism can be smoothly connected to "traditionalism", so that this may preserve greater credibility in the population. Traditionalist scholars may play a considerable role in promoting religious pluralism in the society, in general, and among anti-pluralist groups, in particular. The account of the role and authority of these traditionalist scholars is significant in revealing the prospects for religious pluralism in the country.

Islam in Indonesia
While Muslims in Indonesia have begun to turn towards a strict adherence to Islam, the reality of the socio-religious environment is much more complicated than a simple shift towards fundamentalism. In this volume, contributors explore the multifaceted role of Islam in Indonesia from a variety of different perspectives, drawing on carefully compiled case studies. Topics covered include religious education, the increasing number of Muslim feminists in Indonesia, the role of Indonesia in the greater Muslim world, social activism and the middle class, and the interaction between Muslim radio and religious identity.
Dimensi Profetik Dalam Puisi Gusmus
Dimensi Profetik puisi Gus Mus, sebagaimana kajian yang dilakukan oleh Abdul Wachid B.S. ini, saya kira bisa menjadi rujukan estetik dalam memahami "semesta" hidup Gus Mus yang penuh cinta denqan kasih sayang. Buku ini diharapkan mampu membangkitkan kesadaran manusia untuk selalu menjunjung tinggi kemuliaan Nabi Muhammad Saw., melalui puisi-puisi Gus Mus, sebagai referensi dalam berakhlak, juga sebagai tanda bahwa mencintai ulama, Gus Mus salah satunya, merupakan wujud cinta kepada Allah Swt dan Nabi Muhammad Saw.
Nahdlatul Ulama and the Struggle for Power Within Islam and Politics in Indonesia
This book explores the political and ideological motivations behind the formation of the Nahdlatul Ulama-affiliated political party, and Abdurrahman Wahid's rise to the Presidency of Indonesia after having led NU for 15 years away from formal politics. It sheds light on the complex and historical rivalries within Islam in Indonesia, and how those relationships inform and explain political alliances and manoeuvres in contemporary Indonesia.
Respons Islam atas Moderasi Beragama dan Multikulturalisme
Satu keniscayaan moderasi dan multukultural menjadi solusi bersama untuk dipertimbangkan dalam membangun keberagamaan di Indonesia. Banyaknya agama, ras, dan suku menjadi pertimbangan penting dalam mengambil dua pola tersebut sebagai pijakan kehidupan beragama di negara Indonesia. Meski tawaran itu menarik untuk terciptanya harmonisasi antaranak bangsa, tetapi belum semuanya mampu menerimanya dengan lapang dada, terutama para agamawan yang masih mempertahankan pola lama, tidak mau bergeser dari tradisi lama menuju tradisi baru. Kajian keilmuan tentang moderasi dan multikulturalisme sebenarnya sudah lama didengungkan, tetapi sampai sejauh ini belum tuntas. Tidak sedikit orang-orang beragama y...
Durga's Mosque
For two decades now, Stephen C. Headley has been one of the most original and systematic ethnographers of Javanese religion and cultural history. No one in contemporary Javanese ethnography has combed through the annals of nineteenth and twentieth century scholarship with as careful an eye for the variety of Javanese traditions. None combines this historical ethnography with as careful and unusual body of contemporary ethnography. Headley's new book brings these long-developed skills to bear on contemporary religious change in the Surakarta region of Central Java. In his analysis of the Durga ritual complex, Headley sheds light on one of the most unusual court traditions to have survived in ...
Sastra Pencerahan
Buku ini merupakan penyatuan dua bunga rampai esai karya Abdul Wachid B.S. yang telah terbit sebelumnya, yakni Sastra Pencerahan (2005) dan Membaca Makna dari Chairil Anwar ke A. Mustofa Bisri (2005). Buku ini hadir sebagai satu ikatan atas gagasan-gagasan mengenai dunia kesusastraan di Indonesia dari seorang penyair yang juga seorang akademisi sastra. Buku pertama berisi esai-esai yang merespons persoalan-persoalan sastra di Indonesia yang kontekstual dengan kondisi sosial politik era Orde Baru. Buku kedua berisi esai analisis mengenai perpuisian modern para penyair di Indonesia. Judul Sastra Pencerahan untuk penerbitan edisi kedua ini dipilih justru bermaksud untuk didiskusikan, sebab sebagian besar esai di sini merupakan gambaran bagaimana karya sastra menjadi bagian penting dari upaya pencerahan suatu zaman, dan boleh jadi, pada gilirannya, sastra kemudian juga perlu dicerahkan melalui kritik yang bernas.
Interreligious Heroes
Over forty premier world religious and scholars, of all major faith traditions, were asked the following: •Who is a figure who inspires your interfaith work? •How does this figure inspire you, and what lessons, applications, and concrete expressions has this inspiration taken in your life? The result is a stunning overview of the interfaith movement, its history, role models and heroes. Historical presentation complements the personal and experiential voice of the authors, making this not only a work for interfaith education but also a resource for spiritual inspiration.
Storied Island
Javanese literature is one of the world’s richest and most unusual literary traditions yet it is little known today outside of Java, Indonesia, and a handful of western universities. With its more than a millennium of documented history, its complex interactions over the centuries with literature written in Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, Malay and Dutch, its often symbiotic relationship with the performing arts of puppetry and dance, and its own immense creativity and insight, this vastly understudied literature offers a lens to understanding Java’s fascinating world as well as human ingenuity more broadly. The essays in this volume, Storied Island: New Explorations in Javanese Literature, take a fresh look at questions and themes pertaining to Java’s literature, employing new theoretical and methodological lenses.
