Religious Perspectives in Modern Muslim and Jewish Literatures: Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Literatures

Editat de Glenda Abramson, Hilary Kilpatrick
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 feb 2011
This collection brings together discussions of the way in which Muslim and Jewish beliefs and practices are represented in modern literary texts of poetry, fiction and drama. The chapters collected here consider elements of the expression of Judaism and Islam in modern literature. Key topics such as religious ideas and teachings, aspects of mysticism, the tenets of religion, uses made of sacred texts, religion and popular culture and reflections of religious controversies are covered. While there is an embodied comparative element to the chapters, the essays are not confined by comparisons and cover a wide range of the literary expression of religious issues.

Recenzii

'This book is a valuable source of knowledge on the subject of Jewish and Muslim writers confirming modernity. Explanatory rather than critical, and above all, objective, this book achieves genuine inter-faith understanding...This work being unique of its kind, it can be recommended for college graduates who will not easily find its broad perspective elsewhere.' - The Muslim World Book Review
