Judaism, Christianity and Islam are known to privilege words over images. This book shows, however, that the reality is more complex. Figurations and Sensations of the Unseen explores the complex procedures used to render the invisible as visible and the elusive as tangible in these three traditions. Working from different disciplinary angles, contributors reflect on figuration and sensation in biblical culture, medieval Jewish culture, the imagination of the unseen in Islamic settings, Christian assaults on 'idolatry' in Africa, baroque and modern Church art, contemporary Eastern Orthodox tradition, photography on the East African coast, European opera and literature, and more.
The book shows that the three religious traditions have formed sensorial regimes: embodied habits, traditions and standards for seeing, sensing, displaying, and figuring that which could not, or should not, be seen. So, the desire for seeing the invisible and experiencing the beyond are paradoxically confirmed, contested and controlled, by the sensorial regimes in vogue. This carries over even into secularized use of religious figurations in arts and literature.
Figurations and Sensations of the Unseen is important reading for scholars of anthropology, religious studies, Jewish studies, Christian studies, Islamic studies, art history, cultural studies, biblical studies and archaeology.

This book is not just for Muslims. Islam is in deep turmoil affecting all people and cultures around the world. Muslim countries Afghanistan, Iraq and now Iran are engaged in military conflict with Western powers that field mostly Christian soldiers. Shia Iran is in proxy conflict with Sunni Saudi Arabia in Yemen. Muslim minority Rohingya in Burma face atrocities and ethnic cleansing at the hands of Buddhist majority in Burma. The Hindu nationalist party in India that won the recent national election is hostile to the 100 plus million Muslim minority. Terrorism and fraternal armed clashes are the norm in in Africa. Above all Islam was implicated in 9/11 attacks which continues to exact a heavy price on travel and commerce throughout the world.
Tis book is unique for n the long history of Islamic literature and civilization no atheistic work or movement ever materialized whereas in Christianity experimental observations of Galileo gave rise to Enlightenment and Age of Reason. As a consequence the past few centuries have witnessed an increasing distancing of beliefs in the Christian West. Atheism for Islam that delves deep in the Quran and scriptures can serve as the springboard for finally y liberating the Muslim mind.
Mots arguments against God's existence are original and unuque, Some other proffs can easily apply to other religions. A bonus of the book is the argument against the existence of soull that plays a central role in most religions. The book argues that the essence of a person is not an immaterial soul but his or her body. Further it demosntrates the key function of the soull, that of carrying his or her identity throughout their career, is pbetter erformed a by the material DNA molecule. The 75 to 100 trillion cells that constitute the same body throughout his or her existence is mediated by identical copies of of DNA as tat conception. Needless to say that ithis view of identity has a drmatic effect how life and death is perceived.

Описание: This book gathers scholars from the three major monotheistic religions to discuss the issue of poverty and wealth from the varied perspectives of each tradition.

Описание: The rising population known as "nones" for its members` lack of religious affiliation is changing American society, politics, and culture. Corinna Nicolaou is a none, and in this layered narrative, she tours America`s major traditional religions to see what, if anything, one might lack without God. Though she remains a devout none, Nicolaou`s experiences reveal points of contact between the religious and the unaffiliated, suggesting nones may be radically revising the practice of faith in contemporary times.

Описание: Pilgrimages can be analysed as acts of conflict - such as the Crusades - or also as platforms for relationship building and rapprochement between religions. With a set of contributions from leading experts in the field, this book explores the concept of pilgrimage in Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Some specific examples of pilgrimages that helped to strengthen links between different religions or civilisations are explored, ranging from Europe to Asia and from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. Even though every pilgrimage that is investigated here has helped to link different worlds, the case studies show that this relationship rarely led to a better in inter-understanding. Nowadays, peaceful coexistence seems to be its greatest achievement.
