"Up to the twentieth century, Islamic charitable endowments provided the material foundation of the Muslim world. In Lebanon, with the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the imposition of French colonial rule, many of these endowments reverted to private property circulating in the marketplace. In contemporary Beirut, however, charitable endowments have resurged as mosques, Islamic centers, and non-profit organizations. A historical anthropology in dialogue with Islamic law, God's Property demonstrates how these endowments have been drawn into secular logics-no longer the property of God but of the Muslim community-and shaped by the modern state and modern understandings of charity and property. Although these transformations produced new kinds of loyalties and new ways of being in society, Moumtaz's ethnography reveals the furtive persistence of endowment practices that perpetuate older ways of thinking of one's self and one's responsibilities toward family and state"-- Provided by publisher.

Les premiers sociologues, parce qu'ils s'interrogeaient sur la société moderne, ont été conduits à étudier les phénomènes religieux, en particulier les changements que la modernité impliquait pour la religion. Le regard sociologique sur l'univers religieux n'a cessé depuis de se renouveler et de s'enrichir. En dressant un tableau des diverses approches depuis Weber et Durkheim jusqu'aux questionnements les plus contemporains sur la sécularisation, les intégrismes et progressismes…, cet ouvrage montre que les religions sont des faits sociaux dont l'analyse permet de mieux comprendre les sociétés et leurs évolutions.
