The [european] Other In Medieval Arabic Literature And Culture
by Nizar F. HermesContrary to the monolithic impression left by postcolonial theories of Orientalism, the book makes the case that Orientals did not exist solely to be gazed at. Hermes shows that there was no shortage of medieval Muslims who cast curious eyes towards the European Other and that more than a handful of them were interested in Europe.
The al-Baqara Crescendo: Understanding the Qur'an's Style, Narrative Structure, and Running Themes
by Nevin RedaHow is the Qur'an organized? Does its structure convey meaning? Why did the Islamic tradition neglect the study of the Qur'an's unusual configuration until the twentieth century? In The al-Baqara Crescendo, Nevin Reda introduces a bold new avenue of research: the poetics of Qurʾanic narrative structure. Focusing on Surat al-Baqara, the longest and most challenging of the suras, she uncovers the beauty and rationale behind the Qurʾan’s unusual organization. Reda argues that the sura – often dismissed by Muslim traditionalists and Orientalist critics as a baffling collection of disjointed material – can be appreciated as a coherent composition if it is approached as an oral text. Calling attention to oral organizational techniques such as repetition, this book’s repertoire of figures showcases Surat al-Baqara’s ingenious layout and pinpoint the sophisticated meanings that are embedded within it. Incorporating insights from literary theory and Biblical studies, the author advances inclusivity and intercultural bridge-building in the study of scripture. In an engaging narrative that is bound to captivate and challenge the reader, Reda communicates a deep love and thorough command of her subject, all while presenting a significant new development in Islamic hermeneutics.
The al-Baqara Crescendo: Understanding the Qur'an's Style, Narrative Structure, and Running Themes (Advancing Studies in Religion)
by Nevin RedaRecent manuscript evidence from al-Jami` al-Kabir in ?an ‘a’ suggests that the Qur’an took its final shape well before 671 CE. Irrespective, however, of who composed it or when it was compiled, questions remain about whether the Qur’an followed any kind of preconceived plan or compositional schema that makes sense in today’s world. In The al-Baqara Crescendo, Nevin Reda introduces a bold new avenue of research: the poetics of Qur'anic narrative structure. Focusing on Surat al-Baqara, the longest and most challenging of the suras, she explores the beauty and rationale behind the Qur'an’s unusual organization. Reda argues that the sura – often dismissed by Muslim traditionalists and Orientalist critics as a baffling collection of disjointed material – can be appreciated as a coherent composition if it is approached as a spoken text. Calling attention to oral organizational techniques such as repetition, this book’s repertoire of figures showcases Surat al-Baqara’s ingenious layout and pinpoints the sophisticated meanings that are embedded within it. Incorporating insights from literary theory and Biblical studies, the author advances inclusivity and intercultural bridge-building in the study of scripture.

The demons within
by Raquel AlemanFourteen-year-old Raquel didn’t know why entities tormented her on a daily basis, but she did know that the phenomenon started days after her uncle attempted to rape her for the third time. When her sister’s boyfriend, Rojelio Joel Cardenas, whom Raquel barely knew, showed up at her parents’ door, Raquel thought nothing of it. Two hours later, Raquel is ushered into the living room and told that she and R. J. are to get married. In her naiveté, Raquel believed that moving away would stop the invisible beings and voices from tormenting her. But, twelve years later, suffering daily physical attacks by the invisible beings and living in an abusive and loveless marriage, Raquel is losing hope. When R. J. introduces her to Eliazar De Castello, a new work partner, Raquel is resistant. Something about Eliazar unsettles her very soul. Soon Raquel becomes aware of the charged atmosphere that crackles between them. Fighting the passion that is brewing in her heart, Raquel soon realizes that she is losing the battle. But can she trust Eliazar with her heart? Is he really who he appears to be, or is he someone even more sinister than the beings that surround her?

The i-zation of Society, Religion, and Neoliberal Post-Secularism
by Adam PossamaiThis book explores the elective affinity of religion and post-secularism with neoliberalism. With the help of digital capitalism, neoliberalism dominates, more and more, all aspects of life, and religion is not left unaffected. While some faith groups are embracing this hegemony, and others are simply following the signs of the times, changes have been so significant that religion is no longer what it used to be. Linking theories from Fredric Jameson and George Ritzer, this book presents the argument that our present society is going through a process of i-zation in which (1) capitalism dominates not only our outer, social lives (through, for example, global capitalism) but also our inner, personal lives, through its expansion in the digital world, facilitated by various i-technology applications; (2) the McDonaldization process has now been normalized; and (3) religiosity has been standardized. Reviewing the new inequalities present in this i-society, the book considers their impact on Jurgen Habermas's project of post-secularism, and appraises the roles that various religions may have in supporting and/or countering this process. It concludes by arguing that Habermas's post-secular project will occur but that, paradoxically, the religious message(s) will be instrumentalized for capitalist purposes.
