He journeyed farther than his near contemporary Marco Polo, though
Muslim scholar Ibn Battuta (1304-c. 1377) is barely remembered at
all compared to that legendary traveler. But Battuta's story is
just as fascinating, as this 1829 translation of his diaries, by
British Orientalist REV. SAMUEL LEE (1783 -1852), demonstrates.
Embarking upon what would eventually be a 27-year pilgrimage,
Battuta traveled through East Africa, the Middle East, India,
China, and beyond, bringing him to most of the 14th-century Islamic
world. Rife with beautiful descriptions of the exotic peoples he
met and landscapes he saw, this little--known classic of medieval
literature will enthrall scholars of Islamic history and armchair
travelers alike.
The nine chapters in this book, along with a critical introduction,
address complex theological issues relating to structural
inequalities of our society, exacerbated by the experience of the
COVID-19 pandemic. Pastoral theology as an academic discipline is
not a value-free enterprise. This book strives to speak against all
forms of injustice and to advocate for those who suffer under
existing structural inequalities because such a liberative and
social transformative task constitutes the fundamental work of
pastoral theology. Each chapter in this book analyses how private
problems of individuals are occurring within the immediate world of
experience with public issues historically, socially, and
politically. As a whole, this book addresses racial injustice,
ableism, foster family care, and issues faced by Christian churches
during the COVID-19 pandemic. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Pastoral
Theology.
In Rediscovering Japan, Reintroducing Christendom Japan's unvoiced
Christian history and cultural roots are examined from an
alternative perspective. It is commonly believed that Christianity
was introduced to Japan by the Spanish and Portuguese missionaries
during the 1500s; however, Samuel Lee draws on various forms of
cultural, religious and linguistic evidence to argue that
Christianity was introduced to Japan through the Lost Tribes of
Israel, who were converted to Christianity through the missionary
efforts of the Assyrian Church of the East around A.D. 500. Much of
the evidence he discusses has become submerged into many Japanese
folkloric songs, festivals and is to be found in temples. There
are, for example, approximately 300 words in Japanese and
Hebrew/Aramaic that are similar. Further, Dr. Lee outlines the
history of Catholicism in Japan during the 1500s, the systematic
persecution of Christians from 1600s to the 1800s, and the rise of
Protestant Church in Japan. The historical portion of the book ends
with an analysis and discussion of 21st century Japanese society.
Lastly, in Rediscovering Japan, Reintroducing Christendom, Samuel
Lee questions the missiological methods of Western Christianity and
advocates an approach based in dialogue between Christianity and
other cultures.
This English edition of the work of the Arab traveller usually
known as Ibn Battuta (1304-68/9) was translated by Rev. Samuel Lee
(1783-1852), Professor of Arabic in the University of Cambridge,
from 'the abridged Arabic manuscript copies, preserved in the
Public Library of Cambridge', and published in 1829. Lee's work
sparked widespread European interest in Ibn Battuta, who had set
off from his native Morocco on a pilgrimage to Mecca in 1325, and
kept travelling for the next twenty-four years, reaching as far
east as China and as far south as Zanzibar, as well as visiting
parts of Spain and the Byzantine Empire. On his return, he dictated
an account of his travels; Lee translated an abridged version, but
fuller versions were later discovered. There is doubt as to whether
Ibn Battuta actually saw everything he described, but this account
gives a fascinating world-view from the medieval period.
With Some Remarks On The Character And Use Of Metaphors And
Symbols. Due to the very old age and scarcity of this book, many of
the pages may be hard to read due to the blurring of the original
text, possible missing pages, missing text and other issues beyond
our control.
