Spiritualité contemporaine de l'art
"L'art contemporain utilise régulièrement le patrimoine chrétien dans ses créations. De leur côté, nombre de communautés religieuses sollicitent aujourd'hui des artistes pour renouveler leur expression spirituelle. Cet ouvrage écrit par des universitaires de différentes disciplines issus d'Allemagne, de France et de Suisse propose des réflexions sur les influences respectives de ces trois milieux d'un point de vue théorique et pratique. Dans une première partie, des spécialistes de la Bible indiquent les ressources symboliques et artistiques des textes sacrés qui donnent à voir largement plus que ce qu'une lecture superficielle ne révèle. Puis, des philosophes réfléchissen...
Gott näher als der eigenen Halsschlagader
Leben für Allah Fromme Muslime, so steht es in einem Koranvers, sind "Gott näher als der eigenen Halsschlagader". Sie widmen sich in besonderem Maß ihrer Religion, verstehen das Diesseits nur als Übergangsstadium zum ewigen Leben im Paradies und versuchen die Gebote Gottes im Alltag einzuhalten. Über dieses konservative Segment des deutschen Islams, das oft als fundamentalistisch eingestuft wird, existiert nahezu kein verlässliches Wissen. Susanne Schröter hat drei Jahre lang in Wiesbadener Moscheegemeinschaften geforscht und gibt in diesem Buch einen einmaligen Einblick in das Leben und die Gedankenwelten streng gläubiger Muslime. Darüber hinaus zeigt sie, mit welchen Programmen eine ganznormale deutsche Stadt sich seit Jahrzehnten um Integration bemüht.
The Basque Table
In the Basque region of Spain, food and eating are the center of everyday life and the focus of endless conversation. This award-winning, internationally acclaimed cookbook presents 130 recipes for casual, elegant fare from this food-centric region's increasingly popular cuisine. With an emphasis on high-quality fresh ingredients, simply prepared, the Basque style of cooking fits right in with today's back-to-basics focus on whole foods. For starters, there are plates full of pinchos, the Basque version of tapas, including Eggs Stuffed with Anchovies and Tuna, and Smoked Salmon and Asparagus Pinchos. Among main courses, there is a wealth of light and healthy fish and shellfish fare including Cod-Stuffed Piquillo Peppers with Biscayne Sauce and Red Snapper Guernica-Style, and rustic and hearty meat and chicken dishes such as Top Loin of Pork Cooked with Milk, Chicken Breasts with Garlic and Parsley, and Venison with Red Currant Sauce. Soups, stews, salads, and sides round out the feast.
The Divine Guide in Early Shi'ism
The Imam, the Divine Guide, is the central point around which the Shi'ite religion turns. The power of Shi'ism comes from the actions of the Imam. This title is reserved exclusively for the sucessors of the prophets in their mission. The author shows that from the beginning of Shi'ite Islam until the tenth century, the Imam was primarily a master of knowledge with supernatural powers, not a jurist theologian. The Imam is the threshold through which God and the creatures communicate. He is thus a cosmic necessity, the key and the center of the universal economy of the sacred. The author presents Shi'ism as a religion founded on double dimensions where the role of the leader remains constantly...
Ancient Rome
Uses art and artifacts to examine the world of the Roman Empire from its political and religious structure to its cultural characteristics.
The Emergence of Islam in Late Antiquity
Based on epigraphic and other material evidence as well as more traditional literary sources and critical review of the extensive relevant scholarship, this book presents a comprehensive and innovative reconstruction of the rise of Islam as a religion and imperial polity. It reassesses the development of the imperial monotheism of the New Rome, and considers the history of the Arabs as an integral part of Late Antiquity, including Arab ethnogenesis and the emergence of what was to become Muslim monotheism, comparable with the emergence of other monotheisms from polytheistic systems. Topics discussed include the emergence and development of the Muhammadan polity and its new cultic deity and associated ritual, the constitution of the Muslim canon, and the development of early Islam as an imperial religion. Intended principally for scholars of Late Antiquity, Islamic studies and the history of religions, the book opens up many novel directions for future research.
Pious Citizens
In Pious Citizens, Ringer tells the story of a major intellectual revolution in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century India and Iran, one that radically transformed the role of religion in society. At this time, key theological debates revolved around Zoroastrianism’s capacity to generate “progress” and “civilization.” Armed with both the destructive and creative capacities of historicism, reformers reevaluated their own religious tradition, molding Zoroastrian belief and practice according to contemporary ideas of rational religion and its potential to create pious citizens. Ringer demonstrates how rational and enlightened religion, characterized by social responsibility and the...
