The Concept of Evil in Judaism, Christianity and Islam
The present volume of the series Key Concepts in Interreligious Discourses explores various conceptions of evil in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, including key terms from their respective sacred texts, major theodicy discussions and contemporary developments. Throughout history and even today, religious scholars and believers have struggled with the question of the origin of evil and how a benevolent God can allow evil to exist in the world. Why does a compassionate God not prevent deadly diseases or natural disasters? What do religions define as evil, and is God responsible for or even the creator of this evil? The articles, written by distinguished scholars in their respective fields, offer a variety of answers to such existential questions. The articles address topics such as the origin of evil, the responses to evil in sacred texts and religious traditions, and the role of human agency. Each author offers a critical analysis of these topics as well as recommendations for future research. The volume also highlights commonalities and differences among the three monotheistic religions.
The Concept of Human Rights in Judaism, Christianity and Islam
The second volume of the series "Key Concepts in Interreligious Discourses" points out the roots of the concept of ''human rights'' in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It shows how far the universal validity of ''human rights'' opposes in some crucial points with religious traditions. The volume demonstrates that new perspectives are introduced to the general discussion about human rights when related to religious traditions. Especially the interreligious viewpoint proves that a new kind of debate about human rights and its history is necessary.

A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law, Supplement
The present work supplements the original volume of A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law, the most extensive bibliography on Islamic criminal law ever compiled. Drawing on a multitude of sources online and offline this bibliography covers in its thematic section not only the classical crime categories of ḥudūd, qiṣāṣ and taʿzīr but also a large number of newly emerging and related fields. In a second section, dedicated to countries, eras and institutions Olaf Köndgen comprehensively covers the historical and modern application of Islamic criminal law in all its forms. Unlocking the richness of this sub-field of Islamic law, also with the help of two detailed indices, this innovative reference work is highly relevant for all those researching Islamic law in general and the application of Islamic criminal law over time in particular.
The Concept of Person in Judaism, Christianity and Islam
The sixth volume of the series "Key Concepts of Interreligious Discourses" investigates the roots of the concept of "person" in Judaism, Christianity and Islam and its relevance for the present time. The concept of "person" lies at the core of central ideas in the modern world, such as the value and development of personal identity, the sanctity of human person and the human rights based on that. In societies that are shaped by a long Christian tradition, these ideas are associated often with the belief in the creation of man in the image of God. But although Judaism shares with Christianity the same Biblical texts about the creation of man and also the Qurʾān knows Adam as the first human...
Queens and Prophets
‘A genuinely paradigm-shifting work by one of the most exciting and innovative scholars in the field... compelling and powerful...’ Reza Aslan Arab noblewomen of late antiquity were instrumental in shaping the history of the world. Between Rome’s intervention in the Arabian Peninsula and the Arab conquests, they ruled independently, conducting trade and making war. Their power was celebrated as queen, priestess and goddess. With time some even delegated authority to the most important holy men of their age, influencing Arabian paganism, Christianity and Islam. Empress Zenobia and Queen Mavia supported bishops Paul of Samosata and Moses of Sinai. Paul was declared a heretic by the Roman...
Der immer neue Exodus
Der Exodus stellt ein Grunddatum biblischer Überlieferung dar. Seine mannigfaltigen Rezeptionen und Variationen prägen wichtige Bereiche des Judentums und wurden darüber in das frühe Christentum und bis in den Islam vermittelt. Rezeption ist jedoch immer ein wechselseitiger Vorgang. Tradierung bedeutet Aneignung, und dies führt zu Transformationen, nicht nur der Rezipienten, sondern auch des Rezipierten. Dadurch wird der Exodus immer wieder neu geschrieben, und nur so konnte er in immer neuen religiösen, politischen und sozialen Konstellationen neuen Sinn generieren. Die Beiträge dieses Sammelbandes gehen der Frage nach, warum und mit welcher aktualisierenden Ausprägung das Motiv in konkreten historischen Situationen aufgenommen wurde, wie es diese transformierte und zugleich selbst neu geformt wurde. Damit dokumentiert der Band die Kraft, die in der je neu belebten Befreiungserfahrung steckt.
Tradition und Diskurs
Der Verweis und die Berufung auf die "Islamische Tradition" ist sowohl in der allgemeinen Öffentlichkeit wie auch in wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen zum Islam allgegenwärtig. Was eine Tradition genau ausmacht und inwiefern sie islamisch sein soll, wird bisher jedoch nur wenig bedacht. Die Arbeit unternimmt den Versuch, eine traditionstheoretische Fundierung islamischer Tradition vorzustellen. Entlang der beiden Kategorien Erinnerung und Wissen definiert sie Merkmale islamischer Traditionalität, um im Anschluss daran zu fragen, wie dieses Verständnis Perspektiven für eine islamische Diskurstheologie und Möglichkeiten der religiösen Aktualisierung eröffnen kann. Die Untersuchung geht dabei einen neuen Weg, indem sie eine sonst in der Islamdebatte übliche Gegenüberstellung von Fremdbetrachtung und ihrer Zurückweisung verlässt und anstelle dessen einen synthetischen Ansatz verfolgt, der muslimische Wissensbestände theoriegenerierend mit aufnimmt.
