BRIDGES not BARRIERS

AL-KAWARI HAMAD BIN ABDULAZIZ

Editorial: Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press

Sinopsis

This book reveals the intricacies of inter-civilisational relations between Northern and Southern countries and details the resultant mistreatment of Southern nations. It discusses the North’s centralizing and condescending approach that has greatly harmed both stability and peace in the modern world. Starting with the author’s own personal experience and proceeding to offer a succinct historical overview, the West’s blatant disregard for many contributions from other human civilizations - including the Arab-Islamic civilization - appear in stark contrast. Having worked in the fields of diplomacy and culture for decades, the author aims to remind this generation of Arabs of their own heritage, hitherto overshadowed by conflicts and neglect of their role in building human civilization. The author calls for building bridges instead of erecting barriers and a completely new approach to relations between the North and the South; a message which resonates globally. ‮«‬Bridges, not Barriers‮»‬ is already in circulation in Arabic, German, French, Spanish and Farsi.

Voices of Evangelical Preachers...

George W. Truett, Billy Sunday,...

George W. Truett (May 6, 1867 – July 7, 1944), was an American clergyman who was the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas, from 1897 until 1944, and the president of the Southern Baptist Convention from 1927 to 1929. He became one of the most famous Southern Baptist preachers and writers of his era. William Ashley "Billy" Sunday (November 19, 1862 – November 6, 1935) was a popular outfielder in baseball's National League from 1883 to 1890, who later became the most celebrated and influential American evangelist during the first two decades of the 20th century. Known for his colloquial sermons and frenetic delivery, Sunday held campaigns in America's largest cities and attracted the largest crowds of any evangelist before the advent of electronic sound systems. In addition, Sunday was a strong supporter of Prohibition, and his preaching likely played a role in the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1919. Charles McCallon Alexander (1867 - 1920), a native of Tennessee, studied at Maryville University and eventually became a professor of music. After attending the Moody Bible Institute from 1892 to 1894 he became a popular gospel singer who toured with R.A. Torrey and, later, John W. Chapman to launch the "Chapman-Alexander Simultaneous Campaign."
