Download or read book Regards chr tiens sur l Islam written by Louis Gardet and published by Desclée de Brouwer. This book was released on 1986 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sans prétendre à des vues exhaustives, l'ouvrage témoigne du regard qu'un chrétien peut porter sur l'islam. Il invite à certaines attitudes du cœur et de l'esprit qui disposent à s'intéresser aux autres avec le désir de les comprendre. Le lecteur est amené à mieux percevoir ce qui, dans la foi mulsumane, est fondalemental et décisif. Puis, ce qu'est la Umma pour le musulman et l'Eglise pour le chrétien. Quels sont, ici et là, les points convergents et spécifiques de l'aspiration à plus de justice en ce monde, à l'œuvre dans le cœur des vrais croyants. Comment à l'âge des cathédrales, la pensée chrétienne fut largement " en dialogue " avec de grands courants de la pensée musulmane. Enfin la perspective du livre s'élargit en discernant les traits communs, ou contrastés, de l'expérience spirituelle et de la vie mystique, en des climats religieux extrêmement divers.
Download or read book Aspect de la foi de l Islam written by Jacques Berque and published by Publications des Facultés universitaires Saint-Louis. This book was released on 1985 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'importance du monde arabe dans la politique internationale, la présence d'immigrés musulmans dans nos pays et le réveil de l'Islam provoquent notre réflexion. Au-delà des stéréotypes et des craintes, il faut aller au cœur même de la foi de l'Islam : le Coran, la loi, la Tradition, la mystique. On peut ainsi redécouvrir des sources communes, que souligne la comparaison entre la Bible, la Torah et le Coran, et des convergences profondes, tout en reconnaissant les différences entre chrétiens et musulmans. Cet essai de compréhension de la religion musulmane dans sa cohérence interne permet de mieux situer le regard que le musulman et le chrétien portent l'un sur l'autre. La confrontation de l'Islam actuel avec sa tradition pose enfin des questions aux croyants des différentes religions révélées. C'est à une réflexion en profondeur qu'invitent ces leçons de la session théologique organisée en 1984 par l'abbé D. Coppieters de Gibson, peu avant son décès, dans le cadre de l'École des sciences philosophiques et religieuses des Facultés universitaires Saint-Louis à Bruxelles.
Download or read book Muslims and Christians Face to Face written by Kate Zebiri and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Crusades to the present day, the interrelationship between Islam and Christianity has been fraught with conflict, both theological and military. Yet events in 20th-century history, particularly the communications revolution, have meant that, after centuries of living in isolation from each other, Christians and Muslims find themselves participating in the same intellectual culture, and are having to review their assumptions about each other. In this work, Zebiri analyzes modern Muslim writings on Christianity and Christian writings on Islam to explore the issues central to Muslim-Christian relations. The literature surveyed is diverse - both popular and scholarly, varying in function, authorship and intended audience. Through its juxtaposition of the mutual perceptions of Muslims and Christians, the book provides an overview of the more important contrasts and similarities between the two religions.
Download or read book Christology in Dialogue with Muslims written by I. Mark Beaumont and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes Christian presentations of Christ for Muslims in the most creative period of Christian-Muslim dialogue, the first half of the ninth and the second half of the twentieth century. In these two historical moments, Christians made a serious effort to present their faith in Christ in terms that take into account Muslim perceptions of him, with a view to bridging the gap between Muslim and Christian convictions produced by Muslim rejection of Christ's divine sonship and the death of Christ by crucifixion. A comparative study is made of the contributions of three apologists from the early ninth century--Abu Qurra, Abu Ra'ita, and 'Ammar al-Basri--and three twentieth-century apologists--Kenneth Cragg, John Hick and Hans Kung--in order to seek a model for dialogue on Christology between Christians and Muslims in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Christian de Cherg written by Christian Salenson and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Angels occupy a significant space in contemporary popular spirituality. Yet, today more than ever, the belief in the existence of intermediary spirits between the human and divine realms needs to be evangelized and Christianized. Angels and Demons offers a detailed synthesis of the givens of the Christian tradition concerning the angels and demons, as systematized in its essential principles by St. Thomas Aquinas. Certainly, the doctrine of angels and demons is not at the heart of Christian faith, but its place is far from negligible. On the one hand, as part of faith seeking understanding, angelology has been and can continue to be a source of enrichment for philosophy. Thus, reflection on the ontological constitution of the angel, on the modes of angelic knowledge, and on the nature of the sin of Satan can engage and shed light on the most fundamental areas of metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. On the other hand, angelology, insofar as it is inseparable from the ensemble of the Christian mystery (from the doctrine of creation to the Christian understanding of the spiritual life), can be envisioned from an original and fruitful perspective."--Provided by publisher.
Download or read book Interroger l Islam written by Abbé Guy Pagès and published by Editions DMM. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retentit avec toujours plus d’urgence l'appel que lançait déjà en 2003 saint Jean-Paul II : « Il est nécessaire de préparer convenablement les chrétiens qui vivent au contact quotidien des musulmans [et pour qui n'est-ce pas aujourd'hui, peu ou prou, le cas ?] à connaître l’islam de manière objective [autrement dit : toute connaissance de l'islam n'est pas objective...] et à savoir s’y confronter. » (Ecclesia in Europa, n°57). S'y confronter ? La confrontation, à laquelle le Pape sommait les chrétiens de se préparer, leur demande non seulement de bien connaître l’islam, mais surtout de bien se connaître eux-mêmes... C’est donc à une réappropriation de leur identité qu’ils sont appelés, en ces temps d’indifférentisme généralisé et d’apostasie silencieuse dénoncés par cette même exhortation apostolique (ibid. n°9). Pour répondre à cette demande, l’abbé Guy Pagès, licencié en théologie, prêtre du diocèse de Paris, ayant vécu et évangélisé en République islamique de Djibouti, a rédigé cet ouvrage, qui, deux ans après sa parution en est déjà à sa troisième édition, revue et augmentée. Vous y trouverez exposés aussi bien de nombreux éléments d’information relatifs à l’Islam, que la cohérence de la Foi chrétienne. Le sous-titre vient de ce que tous les articles de chaque chapitre se terminent par au moins une question... Ainsi cet ouvrage s’adresse-t-il aussi aux musulmans désireux de s’informer du regard chrétien posé sur l’islam, eux à qui Allah demande : « Si tu es dans le doute sur ce qui t’a été envoyé d’en haut, interroge ceux qui lisent les Écritures envoyées avant toi. » (Coran 10.94) «Le dialogue inter-religieux et interculturel entre chrétiens et musulmans ne peut pas se réduire à un choix passager. C’est en effet une nécessité vitale, dont dépend en grande partie notre avenir. » (Benoît XVI, Cologne, 20.08.2005).

Download or read book The Sufi and the Friar written by Minlib Dallh and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation of the spiritual encounter between a twentieth-century Dominican friar and an eleventh-century Afghani Sufi master. This book explores the profound spiritual encounter between Serge de Beaurecueil (19172005), a twentieth-century French Dominican friar and Christian mystic, and the eleventh-century ?anbal? Sufi master Khw?ja Abdull?h An??r? of Her?t (10061089). De Beaurecueil lived much of his Christian discipleship in Cairo and Afghanistan, where he became the foremost expert on the life and thought of An??r?. His mystical conversation and scholarly engagement with An??r?, his experience of Islamic hospitality, and the transformation of his own practical spirituality or praxis mystica through his experience of dwelling in the abode of Islam provide us with not only a magnificent and luminous meditation on the hidden and abiding presence of God among Muslims but also a contemplation on the quandary of genuine engagement with and openness to the religious other. To place a French Dominican friar who died in 2005 and a Sufi who died in 1089 in juxtaposition in the same book is not the most obvious path in comparative religious scholarship. Yet Dallh has not only done precisely that, but he has also produced a brilliant monograph in the process which makes for a fascinating read. Dallhs work exhibits painstaking scholarship which illuminates two notable figures in Christianity and Islam respectively and makes an original contribution to the study of these two great faith traditions.

Download or read book Wal yah in the F imid Ism l Tradition written by Elizabeth R. Alexandrin and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the relationship between revelation and reason in medieval Islamic intellectual history. In this original study, Elizabeth R. Alexandrin examines the complex relationships that can be inscribed between medieval Ismā'īlī thought as an intellectual tradition with a devotional practice of reliance on the imām, and as a politico-esoteric system that redefined governance during the Fāṭimid caliphate in the eleventh century. Alexandrin's work is a departure from recent Western scholarship that focuses on similarities among early Islamic traditions. She argues instead that, under the guidance of the Fāṭimid Ismā'īlī chief missionary al-Mu'ayyad fī al-Dīn al-Shīrāzī (d. 1078 CE), the concept of walāyah (divine guidance) became closely associated with religio-political authority, on the one hand, and the perfection of the individual human being, on the other. By signaling and affirming how the Fāṭimid caliph-imām's were the heirs of walāyah and by proposing new definitions of the "seal of God's friends" (khātim al-awliyā' Allāh), al- Mu'ayyad broadened the contexts of making esoteric knowledge public and shifted the apocalyptic frameworks of Islamic messianism.
Download or read book Interroger l islam written by Guy Pagès and published by Dominique Martin Morin. This book was released on 2013 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Déjà, en 2003 Jean-Paul II lançait cet appel : "Il est nécessaire de préparer convenablement les chrétiens qui vivent au contact quotidien des musulmans à connaître l'islam de manière objective et à savoir s'y confronter." (Ecclesia in Europa, n°57). La confrontation avec l'islam à laquelle le pape somme les chrétiens de se préparer, leur demande non seulement de bien connaître l'islam, mais surtout de se connaître eux-mêmes... C'est donc à une réappropriation de leur identité qu'ils sont appelés, en ces temps d'indifférentisme et d'apostasie silencieuse dénoncés par cette même exhortation apostolique (ibid n°9). Pour répondre à cette demande de l'Eglise, l'abbé Guy Pagès, licencié en théologie, prêtre du diocèse de Paris, ayant notamment vécu et évangélisé en République islamique de Djibouti, vous offre cet ouvrage bâti comme un inventaire de réponses à apporter par la raison et la Foi aux principales affirmations de l'apologétique musulmane. Si cet ouvrage entend donner de nombreux éléments d'information relatifs à l'islam tout en montrant la cohérence de la Foi chrétienne, il s'adresse également aux musulmans désireux de s'informer du regard que la Foi chrétienne pose sur l'islam, eux à qui Allah demande : "Si tu es dans le doute sur ce qui t'as été envoyé d'en haut, interroge ceux qui lisent les Ecritures envoyées avant toi."

Download or read book Towards Reconciliation written by Paul Gifford and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2020-03-26 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do humans sacralise the causes for which they fight? Who will decipher for us the enigma of 'sacred violence'? Paul Gifford shows that the culture theorist and fundamental anthropologist Rene Girard has in fact decoded the obscurely 'foundational' complicity between violence and the sacred, showing why it is everybody's problem and the Problem of Everybody. Rene Girard's mimetic theory, especially his neglected writings on biblical texts, can be read as an anthropological argument continuous with Darwin, shedding formidable new light to a vast array of dark and knotted things: from the functioning of the world's oldest temple to today's terrorist violence, from the Cross of Christ to the Good Friday Agreement, such insights illuminate superbly ('from below') the ways of creation, revelation, redemption - which is to say, ultimately, the Christian enterprise and vocation of Reconciliation. Here is a novel and exciting resource for scanning the hidden 'sacrificial' logic that still secretly shapes cultural, social, and political life today. Girard puts us ahead of the game in the key dialogues required if we are to avoid autogenerated apocalypses of human violence in the world of tomorrow.

Book excerpt: The importance of studying past and present relationships between Islam and Christianity as well as between Muslims and Christians of different persuasions has now become generally recognized. The present volume of scholarly studies focusses on changes which have occurred in these relationships during the last forty years. The papers examine new Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox views of Islam and a broad variety of views of Christianity held by Muslims from India, Iran, North Africa, and the Near East, including some "fundamentalist" authors in Egypt and Lebanon. The book contains a moving testimony from a Muslim intellectual in Sarajevo written during the siege of the city. Nearly all contributions were discussed at the Cret Berard (Switzerland) symposium in April 1995.
