Roots of North Indian Shi'ism in Iran and Iraq: Religion and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cole, Juan / Cole, J. R. I., PUBLISHER: University of California Press, In this pioneering study of the Twelver Shi'i branch of Islam prevalent in Iraq and Iran, J. R. I. Cole traces the influence of Shi'i rule on the development of religious communalism and conflict in the North Indian State of Awadh (Oudh). He also examines the relationship of the Shi'i clergy to the state and the clerical reaction to British imperialism and capitalism. Based on research in rare manuscripts and in archives, the book reveals that the Shi'i clergy advocated policies that caused resentment among Sunnis and Hindus, thereby promoting religious communalism and setting the stage for modern communal conflict. The Shi'i learned men took government posts in support of Awadh's Shi'i nawabs and shahs; Awadh state support, in turn, helped transform Shi'ism from a persecuted "sect" to a dominant, if still minority, religious establishment. Sociologically, the book draws attention to the specific role of the state in defining "sect" and "church." It also argues the importance of class divisions within the Shi'i community, showing that the dominant clerical ideology was often not accepted by the laboring strata. Cole's study supports the view that Muslim communalism in Northern India had genuine historical roots and was not simply an elite strategy of modern Muslim politicians. Contrary to the arguments of some writers and to the image projected by Iran's current ayatullahs, he claims that most Shi'i clergy did not play a role of opposition to the state.

Send My Roots Rain: A Spirituality of Justice and Mercy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McKenna, Megan, PUBLISHER: Doubleday Religion, Megan McKenna has long been well known in the Catholic community as a writer, speaker, and teacher. In her lectures and writings, McKenna focuses on the central place of storytelling in the spiritual life and on the role of the storyteller as a teacher. She explores the illuminating power of stories, examining both traditional and contemporary tales that are integral parts of Christian, Zen, Jewish, Sufi, Native American, and many other spiritual traditions. "Send My Roots Rain" makes it clear that she is a masterful storyteller and teacher herself. A collection of both previously published and unpublished writings, "Send My Roots Rain" features parables that will lead readers to the discovery of timeless truths. Through engaging tales of love, friendship, freedom, peace, and loss, she brings to light the life-enhancing qualities of having a relationship with God, and shows that spiritual fulfillment can only be found through justice and mercy. Sometimes spare and stark, often richly warm and humorous, and always refreshingly provocative, McKenna's writings transcend particular traditions and practices to reveal the teachings at the heart of all faiths. In the tradition of Merton and Nouwen, McKenna offers a contemporary, progressive perspective on age-old beliefs. "Send My Roots Rain" will attract the many people already familiar with McKenna's writings and teachings, and introduce a fresh and exciting voice to millions of new readers.

Transforming Power of the Nuns: Women, Religion, and

Transforming Power of the Nuns: Women, Religion, and Cultural Change in Ireland, : Mary Peckham Magray argues that the Irish Catholic cultural revolution in the nineteenth century was spearheaded not by male elites, as previous scholarship has claimed, but rather by those most overlooked and underestimated women in Ireland: the nuns. Once thought to be merely passive servants of the male clerical hierarchy, women&apos s religious orders were in fact at the very centre of the creation of a devout Catholic culture in Ireland. Magray&apos s innovative work challenges some of most widely held assumptions of social history in nineteenth century Ireland.
