Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In Intellectual Life in the ?ijaz before Wahhabism, Naser Dumairieh argues that, as a result of changing global conditions facilitating the movement of scholars and texts, the seventeenth-century ?ijaz was one of the most important intellectual centers of the Islamic world, acting as a hub between its different parts. Positioning Ibrahim al-Kurani (d. 1101/1690) as representative of the intellectual activities of the pre-Wahhabism ?ijaz, Dumairieh argues that his coherent philosophical system represents a synthesis of several major post-classical traditions of Islamic thought, namely kalam and Akbarian appropriations of Avicennian metaphysics. Al-Kurani's work is the culmination of the philosophized Akbarian tradition; with his reconciliation of Ibn ?Arabi's ideas with Ash?ari theology, Ibn ?Arabi's ideas became Islamic theology.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Close examination of the actual performance, rather than the ideal form of rituals shows how participants modify the proceedings in ways that serve their own interests, sometimes going so far as to challenge, even subvert the established protocols and traditional values favored by presiding officials. The examples range widely, including a Roman funeral, Mesoamerican healing ceremony, Jewish-American Thanksgiving dinner and others, each of which has its own engaging characters, intricate maneuvers, analytically revealing developments, and moments of high drama.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Visualizing Sufism approaches the question of the presence of graphic materials in Islamic mystical literature from a broad and comprehensive perspective. To this goal, an international group of specialists in the field worked on largely manuscript and unpublished sources with the aim of analyzing the use of visual elements in the works of some key figures of Islamic mysticism--Ibn al-?Arabi, A?mad al-Buni, Sa?d al-Din ?amuyeh, al-Sha?rani--, and in intellectual networks--?urufiyya and Bektashiyya, Shirin Maghribi and his connections. The result is the most extensive collection of specimens of Sufi graphic materials ever brought together and discussed in a single volume. By virtue of the object of study investigated in the chapters of this book, in addition to the history of Sufism, questions are raised that touch upon numerous areas in the field of Islamic Studies, including intellectual history, codicology, and art history. Contributors Elizabeth R. Alexandrin, Noah Gardiner, Ali Karjoo-Ravary, Evyn Kropf, Giovanni Maria Martini, Orkhan Mir-Kasimov, and Sophie Tyser.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Hospitality is often invoked without question in Church of England discourse, but the importance of the practice to contemporary mission has not been subject to detailed analysis. This book provides otherwise elusive in-depth theological examination of the scope of Christian understandings of hospitality. From feasting in the Hebrew Scriptures, and foot-washing in the New Testament, to online Communion during the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitality is more than 'welcome', or the evangelistic hospitality of the Alpha Course or Messy Church. So this book encompasses racism, ageing, poverty, tragedy, storytelling, minds, bodies and belonging, as well as the implications of allying food to Christian formation. It shows that Christian hospitality has relevance not only to mission, but also to ecclesiology, eschatology, disability theology, and social and ecological justice.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Academic pride, the desire for fame and success, the importance of titles over the teaching practice, the gap between real capabilities and official recognition, the pomp of ceremonies and rituals, scholarly nepotism, and institutional privileges: these issues plagued medieval universities from their very beginnings and were discussed by theologians through the notion of 'doctoral halo.' Over the centuries, this concept became a means to praise, criticize, and reflect on the professional category of theology students and teachers (and other culture-related agents as well), providing interesting insights into their intellectual self-awareness. Based on unedited texts and new interpretations, this book offers unique perspectives on the intellectual history of the medieval and pre-modern world.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The present book encompasses various legal phenomena pertaining to wealth transfer mortis causa in the world of Roman law. It demonstrates that succession in property rights could be realised by agreements of various kinds, which - though not building a coherent legal concept and being much different from the modern understanding of contractual succession - served as will-substitutes, i.e. functional equivalents to the Roman testament.The study goes back to the ancient sources in order to select and examine any testimonies of agreements aimed at regulating patrimonial relationships after death: agreements having immediate effect between the living, those enforceable only at the death of the deceased, and finally, settlements altering the order of succession mortis causa long after his passing away. It uncovers a series of societal patterns of behaviour staying behind legal institutions. The extent of the already ancient phenomenon of estate planning by agreement and the diversity of the dogmatic issues involved provides a notable starting point for discussions on the contemporary inheritance law dogmas.…
