The Sociology of Shari’a
This edited collection focuses on the comparative analysis of the application of Shari’a in countries with Muslim minorities (e.g. USA, Australia, Germany and Italy) and majorities (e.g. Malaysia, Bangladesh, Turkey, and Morocco). Most chapters in this new edition have been revised and the book as a whole has been updated to give even more international coverage. This text provides a sociological and global analysis of a phenomenon that goes beyond the ‘West versus the rest’ dichotomy. One example of this is how included are case studies in Muslim minority countries not exclusively located in the West. Although the contributors of this book come from various disciplines such as law, anthropology, and sociology, this volume has a strong sociological focus on the analysis of Shari’a. The final part of the book indeed draws out from all the case studies explored some ground-breaking theories on the sociology of Shari’a such as the application of Black, Chambliss and Eisenstein’s sociological theories. This text appeals to students and researchers working in the sociology of religion.
The Companion to Said Nursi Studies
Contemporary Islamic theology remains a neglected area in studies on Islam. This work is dedicated to the thought and ideas of Said Nursi (1876-1960), one of the most prominent Muslim theologians of the twentieth century. Nursi inspired a faith movement--the Nur community--that originated in Turkey. It continues to play a key role in the revival of Islam and now numbers several millions of followers worldwide. His legacy and impact deserve therefore to be examined more closely. This volume is the most substantial overview in English of the inspiration of Said Nursi and his masterpiece the Risale-i Nur. In the beginning, the essays provide the reader with Nursi's historical context and biography. Then Nursi's theological views, his understanding of society, and ideas on politics are placed under the spotlight. Over the last twenty years, more and more comparative religion specialists in the West have become acquainted with Said Nursi. Nursi studies is now an established discipline, and this volume is a celebration of that reality. As it reveals, Muslims and Christians are grappling with the wisdom of this remarkable, rich thinker.
Creationism in Europe
A history of Creationism in Europe, from its reception to its rise and the response that has followed. For decades, the creationist movement was primarily situated in the United States. Then, in the 1970s, American creationists found their ideas welcomed abroad, first in Australia and New Zealand, then Korea, India, South Africa, Brazil, and elsewhere—including Europe, where creationism plays an expanding role in public debates about science policy and school curricula. In this, the first comprehensive history of creationism in Europe, leading historians, philosophers, and scientists narrate the rise of—and response to—scientific creationism, creation science, intelligent design, and o...

Coping with Defeat
"How do centralized, institutional religions make peace with the modern state's displacement of their traditional prestige and power? What are the factors that can promote the mutual acceptance of religious communities and the secular rule of law? These are the questions posed in Jonathan Laurence's new book, which argues that Roman Catholicism and Sunni Islam have trod surprisingly similar paths in their respective histories. Contemporary Roman Catholicism and Sunni Islam both descend from religious states and empires, the Papacy in the case of Catholicism and the Caliphate in the case of Islam. As religio-political orders, the Western Church and the Islamic Caliphate ruled vast territories...
End-of-Life Care, Dying and Death in the Islamic Moral Tradition
Modern biomedical technologies managed to revolutionise the End-of-Life Care (EoLC) in many aspects. The dying process can now be “engineered” by managing the accompanying physical symptoms or by “prolonging/hastening” death itself. Such interventions questioned and problematised long-established understandings of key moral concepts, such as good life, quality of life, pain, suffering, good death, appropriate death, dying well, etc. This volume examines how multifaceted EoLC moral questions can be addressed from interdisciplinary perspectives within the Islamic tradition. Contributors Amir Abbas Alizamani, Beate Anam, Hamed Arezaei, Asma Asadi, Pieter Coppens, Hans Daiber, Khalid Elz...
Salafismus
Mit Fassungslosigkeit, Betroffenheit und Entsetzen reagiert die Weltgemeinschaft auf Terroranschläge. Egal ob in Paris, Ankara, Afghanistan, Irak oder Syrien, immer sind es unschuldige Menschen, die Barbaren zum Opfer fallen. Das Thema geht alle etwas an. Religiöser Extremismus ist und bleibt eine Querschnittsaufgabe. Sie ist eine gesamtgesellschaftliche Aufgabe. Jeder kann und muss seinen Beitrag dazu leisten. Um aber etwas leisten zu können, muss das Phänomen näher betrachtet werden. Es reicht nicht aus, die Schlagwörter der Radikalen zu kennen, um dagegen argumentieren zu können. Das Problem muss an der Wurzel erfasst werden. Extremismus muss erst verstanden werden, um dagegen effektiv handeln zu können. Genau darum geht es in diesem Buch.
The Spirit of Global Health
Since the beginning of the World Health Organization, many of its staff members, regional offices, member states, and directors-general have grappled with the question of what a 'spiritual dimension' of health looks like, and how it might enrich the health policies advocated by their organisations. Contrary to the wide-spread perception that 'spirituality' is primarily related to palliative care and has emerged relatively recently within the organisation, this study shows that its history is considerably longer and more complex, and has been closely connected to the WHO's ethical aspirations, its quest for more holistic and equitable healthcare, and its struggle with the colonial legacy of i...
Die Gülen Bewegung
Fethullah Gülen und seine Gülen-Bewegung sind umstritten. Für die einen ist Fethullah Gülen ein liberaler Denker und seine Bewegung ist eine religiöse Gemeinschaft. Für die anderen ist Gülen das Oberhaupt eines Geheimbundes, der versucht, den Staat zu unterwandern. Spätestens seit den Konflikten zwischen der Gülen-Bewegung und der regierenden AKP sind die Meinungen gespalten und es gibt viele offene Fragen. Der Autor Cemil Sahinöz, ein echter Kenner der Szene, geht diesen Fragen nach. Dabei untersucht er die Entstehung, Struktur, Organisation und Ziele der Bewegung in Deutschland, der Türkei und weltweit. Hierzu interviewte er viele Personen um und aus der Bewegung und analysierte das mächtige Imperium Gülens, das aus zahlreichen Medien, Schulen, Einrichtungen aller Art und Organisationen besteht.
Cemaat ́ten Örgüt ́e
Düsünün, dini bir cemaat dini kavramlarla ortaya çikiyor. Onyillarca dini hizmet yapiyormus gibi hareket ediyor, millet kendilerine güveniyor ve destekliyor. Varini, yogunu bu hizmete vakfediyor. Fakat isin aslinda, bu cemaat devleti içinden oyuyor, disgüçlerle isbirligi yapiyor, devletin tüm kilit noktalarina gelmeye çalisiyor, santaj ile rakiplerini ortadan kaldiriyor. Yani dini hizmet yerine tamamen dünyevi ve mafyavari islerle ugrasiyor. Masal veya aksiyon filmi gibi gelen bu yazdiklarimiz gerçegin ta kendisi. Gülen Hareketi olarak bilinin FETÖ tam anmaliyla bu sekilde hareket etti ve insanlarin güvenini istismar etti. Sosyolojik olarak toplumun dini kavramlara yönelik inancini sarsti. Elinizdeki arastirma bu yapilanmayi sosyolojik olarak ele aliyor. Dini bir cemaatin nasil bir örgüte dönüstügünü gösteriyor. Hareketin yapilanmasi, organizasyon sekli, tarihi, hedefleri, metotlari ve yurtdisindaki yapilanmasi analiz ediliyor. Özellikle Gülen ́in dogumundan 80 ́li yillara kadar fazla bilinmeyen hayati inceleniyor ve kendisiyle o zamanlari yol arkadasligi yapan sahislarla kitap için görüsülüyor.
