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.

Turken en Koerden
Historisch vormen de Koerden de grootste bevolkingsgroep ter wereld zonder eigen land. Ze wonen verspreid over verschillende landen in het Midden-Oosten, hebben een eigen taal en cultuur, maar geen autonome staat. Hun streven naar een onafhankelijk Koerdistan wordt door diverse landen in deze regio als een bedreiging ervaren. Dit boek schetst een overzicht van de moeizame betrekkingen tussen Turken en Koerden en geeft een analyse van de huidige situatie. Op basis daarvan verkent het de mogelijkheden voor de Koerden om hun rechten als nationale minderheid te realiseren binnen Turkije. Daarbij komt het grensoverschrijdende, internationale karakter van de relaties ter sprake en worden die relaties en hun ontwikkelingen binnen het brede perspectief van islam, nationalisme en moderniteit gepresenteerd. De worstelingen en tegenstellingen in die moderniseringsgolf, die sinds de negentiende eeuw over het Midden-Oosten raast, bepalen ook de Europese verhoudingen tot Turken en Koerden.

The Penguin Book of Hebrew Verse
This stunning anthology gathers together the riches of poetry in Hebrew from 'The Song of Deborah' to contemporary Israeli writings. Verse written up to the tenth century show the development of piyut, or liturgical poetry, and retell episodes from the Bible and exalt the glory of God. Medieval works introduce secular ideas in love poems, wine songs and rhymed narratives, as well as devotional verse for specific religious rituals. Themes such as the longing for the homeland run through the ages, especially in verse written after the rise of the Zionist movement, while poems of the last century marry Biblical references with the horrors of the Holocaust. Together these works create a moving portrait of a rich and varied culture through the last 3,000 years.
