The Grand Finale
We often hear that we are living in apocalyptic times. Wars like those in the Middle East are just more signs that the end is near. That, however, is a misunderstanding of the message of the Bible and the Qur'an. The basic meaning of "apocalypse" is disclosure, revelation, bringing to light what is happening now and what has happened throughout all of history. The "apocalypse" is not about making predictions about the future but about determining who bears responsibility for injustice in the world. In that sense, all times--including ours--are "apocalyptic," though in a different way than what is usually thought. Since the devastating Greek conquest of the world by Alexander the Great, there...
Faces of Muhammad
Heretic and impostor or reformer and statesman? The contradictory Western visions of Muhammad In European culture, Muhammad has been vilified as a heretic, an impostor, and a pagan idol. But these aren’t the only images of the Prophet of Islam that emerge from Western history. Commentators have also portrayed Muhammad as a visionary reformer and an inspirational leader, statesman, and lawgiver. In Faces of Muhammad, John Tolan provides a comprehensive history of these changing, complex, and contradictory visions. Starting from the earliest calls to the faithful to join the Crusades against the “Saracens,” he traces the evolution of Western conceptions of Muhammad through the Reformatio...
Winning the Minds
"Winning The Minds is a thought-provoking analysis rooted in impressive on-the-ground research. A valuable read." - Graham Allison, Founding Dean of the Harvard Kennedy School and Director of the Belfer Center at Harvard University The Yemeni intelligence officer was yelling at me now, his moustache bristling with rage as he showered me with flecks of spit. "Enta muhim ma'a il jehuddi? Enta muhim?!" I tried to translate his words in my head, the fear paralyzing my brain as I begged for a translator. This only seemed to infuriate him even more, as up until this point we had been speaking in Arabic. Muhim... Important. Jehuddi... Jewish. He was asking me if I was important with the Jews. He th...

Christians, Muslims and Jesus
Prophet or messiah, the figure of Jesus serves as both the bridge and the barrier between Christianity and Islam. In this accessible and revelatory book, Muslim scholar and popular commentator Mona Siddiqui explores the theological links between the two religions, showing how Islamic thought has approached and responded to Jesus and Christological themes from its earliest days to modern times. The author finds that the philosophical overlap between the two religions is greater than previously imagined, and this being so, her book brings with it the hope of improving interfaith communication and understanding./divDIV DIVThrough a careful analysis of selected works by major Christian and Musli...

Venezuela
In which the beginning of the government of Benençuela is written, and who were the first Spaniards who began it. I have not found the clarity that I wanted about the discovery and first settlement of the government of Benençuela and it was fair so that the relationship and news that I wrote about this government would be complete and more accurate to the taste of the readers, because I understand that our successors and historians who will succeed us in the coming centuries will not cease to be disgusting with this defect. But they may believe that it is not my fault, because I have certainly put the diligence to my best to find out very well, and I have only found that in the year one th...
