The Islamic Turks were poised to overrun Europe at The Battle of Vienna on September 11/12 of 1683, but were defeated. The Islamic Invasion As Mosques appear across the country people are asking-"What do I need to Know about Islam?" Islam-once an obscure Middle Eastern religion-has rapidly grown into the second largest religion in the world. There are now more Muslims than Episcopalians in the United States! What attraction does Islam hold for its followers? What part does it play in shaping the outlook and attitudes of nearly one billion people? Noted author Dr. Robert A. Morey, internationally recognized authority on the origins of the teachings and rituals of Islam- - explores the pre-Islamic history of Allah, and the doctrines and customs of Islam - reveals Islam's teaching about current issues such as religious freedom and the role of women The Islamic Invasion will give you the insight you need to understand Islam and the challenge it poses today. Dr. Morey warned the United States and Europe about Islam during the early 1980's long before 9/11. Most books on Islam since 9/11 have used his analysis of the Qur'an or Hadith. Special thanks to Professor Colin Akridge-who is a Vietnam Veteran and black scholar in the field of comparative religions-for his valuable and insightful contributions and working with him for researching and writing the section entitled The Black Muslim Movement in America.

The history of the Nabataean Kingdom of Hellenistic-Roman times, centred on Petra, is now well known, but until the publication of this book, no monograph has been devoted to Nabataean religion, known to us principally from inscriptions in Nabataean Aramaic, iconography, archaeology and Greek literary texts. After a critical survey of the sources, the author analyses systematically the information on the individual gods worshipped by the Nabataeans, including a detailed illustrated account of temples and iconography. A further major section discusses religious themes: aniconism, henotheism, death-cult and the divinisation of kings. In a final chapter, Nabataean religion is considered in relation to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The book will be of particular interest to historians of religion in the Graeco-Roman Near East and to Semitic epigraphists.

This work describes excavations conducted by Gertrude Caton-Thompson at the site of Hureidha in the Wadi 'Amd in eastern Yemen.

Excavations of a small temple and farmstead at Hureidha are then outlined, followed by a description of several cave tombs in neighbouring valley cliffs. Specialist reports describe the pottery and other objects recovered, as well as inscriptions found in the temple and on portable objects.

Examining a wide array of ancient writings, Brent Nongbri dispels the commonly held idea that there is such a thing as ancient religion. Nongbri shows how misleading it is to speak as though religion was a concept native to pre-modern cultures.

Mark Anderson explores the world of seventh-century Arabia as the context in which the Qur'an arose. After carefully exploring key facets of the Qur'anic worldview, he offers a nuanced understanding of how Jesus fits within it. His careful Christian response opens up a mutually respectful and informed place of dialogue between Christians and Muslims.

A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
