Hans Kung
Sinds Hans Küng in 1957 zijn eerste boek publiceerde, proberen de kerkelijke machthebbers deze even briljante als ongehoorzame theoloog discipline bij te brengen. Tevergeefs: Küng bleef onvermoeibaar en onverzettelijk strijden voor de waarheid. Küng is theoloog, christen en wereldburger, en stelt zich open voor de uitdagingen van deze tijd. Hij ontwikkelde zich tot een van de meest gelezen theologen ter wereld en tot tegenspeler van zijn vroegere collega Joseph Ratzinger, tegenwoordig Paus Benedictus XVI. Velen zien in hem het symbool van de hoop op een vernieuwde kerk. Hans Küng (1928) was van 1960-1996 hoogleraar Oecumenische Theologie aan de Universiteit van Tübingen. Conflicten met het establishment in de roomskatholieke kerk tekenden zijn leven en bereikten een climax in 1979, toen het Vaticaan hem zijn kerkelijke onderwijsbevoegdheid afnam. Zijn jarenlange studie van de wereldreligies mondde uit in de Stichting ‘Wereldethos’ voor interreligieuze dialoog. Op bol.com vind je alle boeken van Hans Kung, waaronder het nieuwste boek van Hans Kung.
Samenvatting
In this extraordinary comprehensive book, Hans Küng gives an in-depth account of Islam, explaining why "peace between religions" is important.
Front Cover:
"A magnificent ‘tour de force’ by our greatest living theologian"
Lord George Carey – former Archbishop of Canterbury, 1991-2002
Back Cover:
"The options have become clear: rivalry amongst the religions, a clash of civilizations, war between nations or a dialogue of civilizations and peace between the religions as a harbinger of peace among nations.
Faced with a deadly threat to all humankind, shouldn’t we demolish the walls of prejudice stone by stone and build bridges of dialogue, including bridges to Islam, rather than erect new barriers of hatred, vengeance and hostility?"
Hans Küng
Inside Left:
For more than two decades the world’s religions have been a central topic for Hans Küng. In books that have inspired millions throughout the world, he has pioneered work towards a new dialogue between them. Following bestselling volumes on Christianity and Judaism, here Küng turns his attention to Islam.
No other religion in the modern world has come under such close scrutiny or been viewed as a source of so much harm to our civilization as Islam. It is routinely portrayed in the media as a promoter of terrorism, supporter of authoritarian governments, oppressor of women, and an enemy of the West. Hans Küng demonstrates that this simplistic perception is far from the reality of Islam.
Providing a masterful overview of Islam’s 1,400-year history, Küng examines its fundamental beliefs and practices, outlines the major schools of thought, and surveys the positions of Islam on the urgent questions of the day. Deft, assured, and comprehensive, this is a sympathetic assessment of Islam by a renowned Christian theologian.
