The Holy Quran - Enriched edition Text Translation and Commentary

Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

The Holy Quran, translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, presents an unparalleled literary journey through the sacred text of Islam. Not only does it offer a comprehensive translation, but it also provides extensive commentary that elucidates the meanings underlying the verses. Yusuf Ali's prose is characterized by a poetic cadence and profound depth, ensuring that each passage resonates with spiritual significance. His translation sits within a modern context, bridging the distance between classical Arabic and contemporary English, thus inviting readers from diverse backgrounds to engage with the Quran's timeless messages of guidance, morality, and faith. Abdullah Yusuf Ali, born in India in 1872, was a noted Islamic scholar, translator, and educator whose passion for the Quran was shaped by his extensive religious education and his commitment to spreading Islamic teachings. His experiences in both British India and the United Kingdom deeply influenced his thought, leading him to seek a nuanced understanding of Islamic philosophy and its application to modern life. This background equipped him with the linguistic dexterity and scholarly rigor necessary to undertake the monumental task of translating the Quran. I wholeheartedly recommend The Holy Quran to all readers'—scholars, practitioners, and seekers alike. Yusuf Ali's translation not only endeavors to preserve the Quran's original meaning, but it also opens a door to spiritual enlightenment, making it an indispensable resource for understanding the core tenets of Islam.

Fearless Faith - Learning to...

Jonathan Stephen

When fear takes hold, we can feel powerless and insipid. Life’s spiritual battles become too much, and the devil seems to be winning. It does not have to be like this, though! We can, and do, have victory in Christ. Faith in the all-powerful one means that we are strong in him, even when we feel weak.  Jonathan Stephen writes with clarity and compassion to help us understand how the battle against the enemy can truly be won. He uses one of the best known and most dramatic incidents in the Gospels, the stilling of the storm. As he draws our attention to what Jesus is teaching through this ‘faith-training exercise’, we join the disciples in discovering that when we are buffeted and frightened by the storms of life we can not only endure but overcome.

The Religion of Whiteness - How...

Glenn E. Bracey II, Michael O....

Recent years have seen a growing recognition of the role that White Christian Nationalism plays in American society. As White Christian Nationalism has become a major force, and as racial and religious attitudes become increasingly aligned among whites—for example, the more likely you are to say that the decline of white people as a share of the population is "bad for society," the more likely you are to believe the government should support religious values—it has become reasonable to wonder which of the adjectives in the phrase "White Christian Nationalism" takes precedence. 
 
 
 
In this book, Michael O. Emerson and Glenn E. Bracey II respond definitively: the answer is "white." The majority of white Christians in America, they argue, are believers in a "Religion of Whiteness" that shapes their faith, their politics, and more. The Religion of Whiteness, they argue, raises the perpetuation of racial inequality to a level of spiritual commitment that rivals followers' commitment to Christianity itself. 
 
 
 
Using national survey data, in-depth interviews, and focus group results gathered over several years, Emerson and Bracey show how the Religion of Whiteness shapes the practice of Christianity for millions of Americans—and what can be done to confront it.
