Three short years transformed Romero, archbishop of San Salvador,
from a conservative defender of the status quo into one of the
churchs most outspoken voices of the oppressed. Though silenced by
an assassins bullet, his spirit--and the challenge of his
life--lives on.
Al-Minhaj Al-Sawi is a milestone work, the first work of its kind
for many centuries. It is a compendium of Prophetic Hadiths,
categorised under a number of headings and compiled with clear
relevance to the lives and situation of Muslims in the modern age.
The work is authenticated by a rigorous and detailed process of
Takhreej - referencing each hadith to its sources - from a study of
over 300 authentic works of hadith. This work will be useful for
academics in many relevant fields, whether researching the basis of
orthodox Sunni belief and practice, or examining the contemporary
Muslim response to religious extremism. It is split into 2 volumes:
Prophetic Virtues and Miracles and Righteous Character and Social
Interactions. The first part Prophetic Virtues and Miracles will
prove invaluable to readers who wish to understand, in the light of
the most authenticated and sourced classical Islamic materials, the
responsibilities of Muslims in modern age, and the rights of
others, and will provide clarity in relation to the Prophet
Muhammad's virtues and life, his methods of worship and spiritual
practice and other aspects of his Sunnah.
This volume puts Barth and liberation theologies in critical and
constructive conversation. With incisive essays from a range of
noted scholars, it forges new connections between Barth's expansive
corpus and the multifaceted world of Christian liberation theology.
It shows how Barth and liberation theologians can help us to make
sense of - and perhaps even to respond to - some of the most
pressing issues of our day: race and racism in the United States;
changing understandings of sex, gender, and sexuality; the ongoing
degradation of the ecosphere; the relationship between faith,
theological reflection, and the arts; the challenge of decolonizing
Christian thought; and ecclesial and political life in the Global
South.
