Roads to Paradise: Eschatology and Concepts of the Hereafter in Islam: Volume 2: Continuity and Change. The Plurality of Eschatological Representations in the Islamicate World: Islamic History and Civilization, cartea 136/2

Editat de Sebastian Günther, Todd Lawson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 dec 2024
Roads to Paradise: Eschatology and Concepts of the Hereafter in Islam offers a multi-disciplinary study of Muslim thinking about paradise, death, apocalypse, and the hereafter. It focuses on eschatological concepts in the Quran and its exegesis, Sunni and Shi‘i traditions, Islamic theology, philosophy, mysticism, and other scholarly disciplines reflecting Islamicate pluralism and cosmopolitanism. Gathering material from all parts of the Muslim world, ranging from Islamic Spain to Indonesia, and the entirety of Islamic history, this publication in two volumes also integrates research from comparative religion, art history, sociology, anthropology and literary studies. Unparalleled and unprecedented in its scope and comprehensiveness, Roads to Paradise promises to become the definitive reference work on Islamic eschatology for the years to come.

Recenzii

"In view of the high scholarly quality, it is safe to say that the essential background of death and the afterlife in the Islamic point-of-view is promptly understood and the authors support their arguments convincingly and authoritatively. After a comprehensive introduction by the editors (Vol. I, pp. 1-28) the reader comes in contact with useful information that helps him to form and define Islamic ontological and eschatological ideas. The editors also claim that although the present book is based in scholarly work, it is nevertheless oriented towards a wider readership where academic expertise can contribute a great deal toward a more comprehendsive understanding of current political and religious developments in both the Muslim world and West. Each article contains informative references and detailed bibliography, cited at the end of every chapter. The bibliographical appendix at the end of Volume Two (pp. 1323-1391) facilitate future research on eschatology and concepts of the hereafter of Islam, while a comprehensive index of proper names as well detailed indices of geographical names and toponymes, book titles, scriptural references, topics and keywords provide access to the contents. On the whole, scholars and students will find this two volume work quite valuable. More than a mere work, this book inspires for further research and discussion on eschatology and concepts of the hereafter in Islam." - Angeliki Georgiou Kompocholi, in: Journal of Oriental and African Studies 27 (2018)
"...a massive new contribution to the field." - John Hoover, in: Bulletin of the School of African and Oriental Studies, 8 November 2017
"Ein umfangreicher bibliographischer Appendix zu Paradies und Hölle im Islam und ausführliche Indizes, über die das zweibändige Werk überhaupt benutzbar wird, schließen die Bände ab. Natürlich ließen sich weitere Titel finden, die nicht aufgenommen wurden. Insgesamt handelt es sich um ein Grundlagenwerk für die weitere Forschung zu eschatologischen Vorstellungen." - Rüdiger Lohlker, in: Wiener Zeitschrift für die Kunde des Morgenlandes 108 (2018)
"... the most comprehensive overview of this topic in existence." - George Archer, in: Reading Religion, 22 August 2017
"Roads to Paradise maps out a beginning of modern academic research into Muslim eschatology." - Sajjad Rizvi, in: Al-Abhath 64 (2016)
