This volume is one of two edited by Andrew Rippin which are
designed to complement one another, and to comprehend the principal
trends in modern scholarship on the Qur'an. Both volumes are
provided with a new introduction by the editor, analysing this
scholarship, and providing references for further study. The
Qur'an: Style and Contents reveals the variety of approaches
followed within the study of the text. From NAldeke's examination
of style through Arkoun's project for the future, these scholarly
statements reflect the historical development of the discipline,
while providing overviews of key elements for the understanding of
the Qur'an.
This is a subset of F. Max Mullers great collection The Sacred
Books of the East which includes translations of all the most
important works of the seven non-Christian religions which have
exercised a profound influence on the civilizations of the
continent of Asia. The works have been translated by leading
authorities in their field.
Abigail Dodds invites readers to ponder and celebrate God's
spiritual and physical provision in Christ through the hands-on art
of bread making.
With your lives moving in fast forward and no known chance of
slowing down, finding time to devote to your marriage can seem
nearly impossible. Quality time is incredibly important for
maintaining a healthy marriage in this quick-paced society where
you run (sometimes literally) from errands to appointments to
activities and back again. One of the best ways to strengthen your
relationship is to spend time together with God-especially when you
are busy. This daily devotional offers inspiring reflections on
relationships, encouraging Scriptures, and thought provoking
questions to help you intentionally engage with God and each other.
When you prioritize spending a few moments to grow together in your
relationship with God, you will quickly learn that it is the best
way to begin or end your day.

One of the often-repeated mantras of 12-step and recovery programs
is "one day at a time." THIS DAY IN RECOVERY offers a short daily
experience to help bring readers back to their spiritual center in
the moments of struggle and questioning. Editors Lane Campbell and
Katie Kandarian-Morris and contributors-each of them speaking from
direct personal experience with addiction and recovery-have
collected a quote, reflection, and question for readers on their
spiritual journey of recovery, with each month focusing on one of
the 12 steps. Inclusive and accessible, THIS DAY IN RECOVERY is a
thoughtful and powerful spiritual tool for those in recovery and
their families.
This Element reviews the state of the question regarding theories
of cultic violence. It introduces definitions and vocabulary and
presents relevant historical examples of religious violence. It
then discusses the 1960s and 1970s, the period immediately before
the Jonestown tragedy. Considerations of the post-Jonestown (1978),
and then post-Waco (1993) literature follow. After 9/11 (2001),
some of the themes identified in previous decades reappear. The
Element concludes by examining the current problem of repression
and harassment directed at religious believers. Legal
discrimination by governments, as well as persecution of religious
minorities by non-state actors, has challenged earlier fears about
cultic violence.
The Sunrise of the Soul is the fruit of the last 24 years of an
unexpected new life and a journey of transformation that took Gerry
Straub from the glamour of Hollywood to the horror of the worst
slums on earth. Straub's journey began in an empty church in Rome
during a moment of grace in which the hard shell of his ardent
atheism was penetrated by a spark of light, allowing him to see
that God was real and loved him just as he was. Eventually, Straub
felt God telling him to stop filming the poor and to go live among
the poor. He now lives in a crowded slum in Haiti where he operates
a home of hope and healing for 69 abandoned kids, 24 of whom are
still in diapers. Straub says his journey is far from over and will
never be finished. As Karl Rahner reminded us, "In the torment of
the insufficiency of everything attainable we ultimately learn that
here, in this life, all symphonies must remain unfinished." Living
in a home with 69 kids in Haiti means that the stillness and
silence needed for contemplation are virtually nonexistent. After
more than four years of intense work in Haiti, Gerry began to
commit himself to the rejuvenating power of authentic solitude in
order to turn his attention to his own inner spiritual poverty. In
the silent predawn darkness of each Haitian morning he waits,
reflects, and prays. This book emerged slowly from those many
lonely hours of silence.
The rise of these secular gods presents the most serious challenge to the absolute claims of Christ since the founding of Christianity itself. The Christian worldview has not only been devalued and dismissed by modern culture, but its believers openly ridiculed as irrelevant. In JESUS AMONG SECULAR GODS, apologetic scholars Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale challenge the popular "isms" of the day, skillfully pointing out the fallacies in their claims and presenting compelling evidence for revealed absolute truth as found in the Bible. This book is fresh, insightful, and important and will provide readers with valuable help in articulating why they believe that Jesus is who He said He is.
