Sinopse

Medina Governance explores the pivotal role of Medina in early Islamic history, examining its transformation into a religious and political center under the Prophet Muhammad and the Rashidun Caliphate. The book delves into the governance models established during this period, revealing how religious principles were adapted to the practical realities of statecraft. One intriguing aspect is the Constitution of Medina, which demonstrates an early attempt to create a pluralistic society by outlining the rights and responsibilities of different religious communities. The book highlights how Medina's early leaders navigated the complexities of blending religious authority with tribal customs, laying the foundation for Islamic leadership and legal frameworks that influence Islamic political thought today.

 
The book argues that Medina's governance was not purely theocratic but rather a pragmatic response to the socio-political conditions of the time. It traces the evolution of Medina's governance across four sections, from pre-Islamic tribal structures and the Hijra to the establishment of key institutions and the governance styles of the Rashidun Caliphate. By analyzing primary sources and engaging with interdisciplinary scholarship, Medina Governance offers a unique perspective on the dynamic interplay between faith and practical administration in the formative years of Islam, challenging simplistic notions and providing a grounded understanding of early Islamic governance.

Uncrowned - Royal Heirs Who...

Ashley Mantle

Through the centuries, succession to the English throne has largely been dictated by blood. Children were born to the role, their destinies entwined with that of the nation. They would be raised with the expectation that they would eventually take their place on the throne and rule the land. But not all those expected to wear the crown completed this journey. 
 
Ashley Mantle explores the lives of several heirs apparent, from the Norman Conquest to the present day, who were destined to assume the throne of England but, for one reason or another, did not. You will meet such figures as Robert Curthose, eldest son of William the Conqueror, whose ineptitude saw him twice barred from the crown; Edward V, whose disappearance in 1483 still remains a mystery; Lady Jane Grey, the tragic Nine Days Queen; and Sophia, Electress of Hanover, who died months before her accession. Along the way we will explore the nature of rule to determine what was expected of an heir and how an heir was groomed in preparation for their ascent, as well as how the rules surrounding the succession have changed over the centuries.

Did America Have a Christian...

Mark David Hall

A distinguished professor debunks the assertion that America's Founders were deists who desired the strict separation of church and state and instead shows that their political ideas were profoundly influenced by their Christian convictions. 
In 2010, David Mark Hall gave a lecture at the Heritage Foundation entitled "Did America Have a Christian Founding?" His balanced and thoughtful approach to this controversial question caused a sensation. C-SPAN televised his talk, and an essay based on it has been downloaded more than 300,000 times. 
In this book, Hall expands upon this essay, making the airtight case that America's Founders were not deists. He explains why and how the Founders' views are absolutely relevant today, showingthat they did not create a "godless" Constitution;that even Jefferson and Madison did not want a high wall separating church and state;that most Founders believed the government should encourage Christianity; andthat they embraced a robust understanding of religious liberty for biblical and theological reasons. 
This compelling and utterly persuasive book will convince skeptics and equip believers and conservatives to defend the idea that Christian thought was crucial to the nation's founding--and that this benefits all of us, whatever our faith (or lack of faith).
