"The year 652 marked a fundamental political change in the Middle East and the surrounding region. An important and contemporary source of the state of the Christian Church at this time is to be found in the correspondence of the patriarch of the Church of the East, Išū'yahb III (649-659), which he wrote between 628 and 658. This books discusses Išū'yahb's view of and attitudes toward the Muslim Arabs"--

In the history of Islam, Muslim-Jewish polemics have been documented from the earliest times and studies on this subject abound. The present work is a case in point. In the spring of the year 1211/1796, the famous Shīʿī scholar Sayyid Muḥammad Mahdī al-Ḥusaynī al-Ṭabāṭabāʾī (d. 1212/1797) was on his way from Mashhad to visit the holy shrine of Imam Ḥusayn in Karbala, accompanied by a flock of his senior students. When they reached the town of al-Kifl, less than 20 km north of Najaf and home to a community of over 3.000 Jews, a delegation of the latter came to see Ṭabāṭabāʾī in the caravanserai where was staying, wishing to engage in a debate with him. The text presented here is an account of Ṭabāṭabāʾī's detailed listing of the contradictions and errors in Judaism as seen by him, a listing that remained largely unanswered. Arabic text, with a Persian translation from before 1238/1822-3.

Al-Andalus, the Iberian territory ruled by Islam from the eighth to the fifteenth centuries, was home to a flourishing philosophical culture among Muslims and the Jews who lived in their midst. Andalusians spoke proudly of the region's excellence, and indeed it engendered celebrated thinkers such as Maimonides and Averroes. Sarah Stroumsa offers an integrative new approach to Jewish and Muslim philosophy in al-Andalus, where the cultural commonality of the Islamicate world allowed scholars from diverse religious backgrounds to engage in the same philosophical pursuits. Stroumsa traces the development of philosophy in Muslim Iberia from its introduction to the region to the diverse forms it took over time, from Aristotelianism and Neoplatonism to rational theology and mystical philosophy. She sheds light on the way the politics of the day, including the struggles with the Christians to the north of the peninsula and the Fa t imids in North Africa, influenced philosophy in al-Andalus yet affected its development among the two religious communities in different ways. While acknowledging the dissimilar social status of Muslims and members of the religious minorities, Andalus and Sefarad highlights the common ground that united philosophers, providing new perspective on the development of philosophy in Islamic Spain.

Juxtaposes several of the miracles in the Islamic and Christian traditions. This new and dynamic approach to the perennially fascinating subject of miracles adopts a strictly anthropological and phenomenological approach. Allowing the miracles to speak for themselves, Ian Richard Netton examines these phenomena in the Islamic and Christian traditions through the lens of narration. What are the stories of the miracles? What are the contexts which gave rise to these miracles and allowed them to garner belief and flourish? Perspectives covered include the views of believers and non-believers alike in these phenomena. Similarities and differences in content and approach are explored with a primary focus on the five main anthropological topoi of food, water, blood, wood and stone, and cosmology. A range of intertextual elements in both these Islamic and Christian traditions are discerned.

Ces dernières années, en Europe, dans le monde musulman, mais aussi en Afrique subsaharienne, les discours visant le pouvoir supposé des francs-maçons et leurs présumées collusions ont à nouveau fleuri. Ces discours s'en prennent au rôle politique ou économique que joueraient la franc-maçonnerie ou les francs-maçons, mais s'inscrivent aussi dans une parole plus large qui vise à dénoncer une conspiration mondiale, voire un principe maléfique transhistorique - mettant à jour des topoi de la rhétorique antimaçonnique classique. Cela s'inscrit dans des sociétés où la dialectique du secret et de la transparence est omniprésente, et où la franc-maçonnerie est perçue comme l'expression par excellence d'une supposée culture du secret. S'entremêlent ainsi un antimaçonnisme catholique traditionnel, tantôt politique, tantôt religieux et diabolisateur, qui s'exprime aujourd'hui davantage en Afrique subsaharienne et en Amérique latine qu'en Europe, mais qui sur le vieux continent perpétue le fonds de commerce idéologique de milieux intégristes chrétiens ; un antimaçonnisme politique, porté par des courants populistes ou nationalistes, qui s'évertue à traquer les francs-maçons comme favorisant une domination étrangère (politique, financière) - c'est le cas en Italie et dans plusieurs pays d'Europe centrale, orientale et balkanique ; un antimaçonnisme islamique radical qui puise à l'antisémitisme et à l'antisionisme des différents courants qui le composent ; un antimaçonnisme complotiste enfin, qui s'abreuve au succès des théories conspirationnistes en vogue et se propage viralement sur Internet. Les actualisations de la rhétorique antimaçonnique comme les usages idéologiques qui en sont faits paraissaient dès lors devoir être réinterrogés, vingt-cinq ans après un premier volume consacré aux courants antimaçonniques dans la collection "Problèmes d'histoire des religions" (IV/1993). C'est la triple ambition du présent ouvrage : dresser un état des lieux de l'antimaçonnerie aujourd'hui, et de ses évolutions récentes ; analyser à la fois les accents nouveaux et les reformulations de condamnations anciennes ; examiner des situations peu mises en avant dans la littérature jusqu'ici, telles les formes de l'antimaçonnisme dans les courants émergents du christianisme contemporain ou de l'Islam.
