[post_title] => Jewish Philosophy in the Middle Ages
[post_excerpt] => The author of this book aims to first examine the influence of theological discussions in the Bible and rabbinic theology on the growth and development of Jewish philosophy in the Middle Ages, and then analyze the transformations of Jewish philosophical thought from the 9th century to the late 15th century.
It should be noted that Jewish philosophers who emerged during this time sought to interpret the Torah and rabbinic tradition in light of Greek-Islamic philosophical thought and previous teachings.
With the emergence of "Maimonides" and the writing of the book "Guide for the Perplexed," this theoretical discourse reached its peak. Among these thinkers, contradictory thoughts were found; some considered Aristotelian thought as a threat to Jewish faith, while others saw it as a source of pride and strength for Jewish beliefs.
Some, like Shem Tov Ibn Shem Tov, considered Jewish philosophy more dangerous than Greek writings. However, despite the ups and downs, Jewish philosophy eventually reached its peak in the Middle Ages.

[post_title] => Rationality in a Feminine Narrative; Western Discourse
[post_excerpt] => Reason is the distinguishing factor between humans and other animals, and it is a common characteristic among all humans. Through reason, the possibility of argumentation and planning is provided, leading to the growth and progress of human societies. However, women are often accused of lacking reason due to their maternal and affectionate emotions, and it is clear that this lack of reason can be seen as a lack of humanity.
Throughout history, women have been pushed from the public sphere to the private sphere using this excuse, and their voices have not been heard in the design of rationality in shaping human civilization. While it can be argued that if affectionate feminine emotions are in conflict with rationality, aggressive masculine emotions are also in conflict with rationality. So how has masculinity always been described as aligned with rationality, while femininity has been introduced as irrational?

[post_title] => A Study in Zoroastrian Philosophy
[post_excerpt] => This work is a collection of articles about the philosophy of the Zoroastrian religion. In this research, the philosophical roots of the Zoroastrian religion are first addressed, and a history of the time and birthplace of Zoroaster and his teachings is presented.
Then, the characteristics of the Zoroastrian religion and topics such as cosmology, eschatology, dualism, Zarvanism, good and evil, and the distortion of Zoroastrian thought in the modern age are discussed. Ethics and society in Zoroastrian philosophy during the Achaemenid and Sassanian periods, as well as the characteristics of contemporary Zoroastrian philosophy, are also covered in other articles in the book. According to the author, although Zoroastrian beliefs, especially regarding the issue of good and evil, have undergone significant changes, their ethical philosophy has remained constant.

[post_title] => Christian mystics
[post_excerpt] => The book "Christian mystics" by the prominent contemporary mystic scholar Ms. Andreheil aims to provide a report on the spiritual history and mysticism of Christianity by describing the lives of important Christian mystics. In this small book, one can only mention the richness and diversity of topics that anyone who wants to express the spiritual and mystical history of Christianity must address.
The book does not even claim to have provided a complete list of mystics, but rather focuses on a few selected individuals among the vast array of saintly mystics, whose personal greatness is largely dependent on their connection to the communal life of believers in Christ and their participation in this life.
The book explores the relationship between mystics and the Christian community, namely that great and creative soul whose special experience of God extends to other Christians as well; someone who deepens the collective spiritual conscience and brings fresh news about eternal life.

Augustine of Hippo is a renowned figure whom Christians remember for his greatness, and others who value theology and philosophy hold his scholarly position in high regard and respect his theological and philosophical perspectives.

[post_title] => Jews; Their Religious Beliefs And Practices
[post_excerpt] => The book "Jews; Their Religious Beliefs And Practices" is about the religion, rituals, and perspectives of Jews, focusing on aspects of Jewish life that are unique to the Jewish people. Therefore, one cannot find much about common ethical norms among individuals in modern Western societies.
However, there is no doubt that the difference between the approach of Jews and non-Jews is not in matters such as hospitality, charity, compassion, honesty, and responsiveness to fellow human beings.
For traditional and authentic Jews, ethical norms are part of religious rituals, and the holy scriptures and subsequent Jewish writings also play a significant role in determining them.

[post_title] => The Essential Talmud
[post_excerpt] => A book that is considered the cornerstone and foundation of Judaism is the Talmud. The Talmud, as the extensive and primary collection of Jewish jurisprudence, has been praised and respected by non-Jews throughout history for its comprehensive and rational structure of legal, ethical, and moral principles. However, it has also faced criticism, reproach, and even insult due to its explicit stance towards non-Jews (who were mostly considered infidels during its formation around 2000 years ago) and its strictness towards Jews who do not adhere to Jewish law.
Misquoted and even distorted quotes attributed to the Talmud and Jewish religion, along with subsequent religious texts, have sent waves of insult and ridicule towards this book as a source of religious rulings for Jews, propagated by publications and books to the uninformed public. Fortunately, the positive approach of Iranian society and enlightened Muslim scholars in recent years towards the realities of other religions has somewhat influenced the elimination of this shortcoming, with the publication of "The Essential Talmud" being the most important of these actions.
Hojat al-Islam Bagher Talebi Darabi, a prominent researcher in the field of religions and a member of the faculty of the University of Religions and Denominations, has translated this book with precision and complete trustworthiness and, after multiple reviews by several experts, has submitted it for publication.
In the introduction to the book, while referring to Judaism as a religion that shares more common teachings with Islam than any other religion, he compares Islam's book and tradition with the written law (Torah - Old Testament) and the oral law (Talmud) in Judaism. Talebi Darabi writes about the Talmud: "The Talmud is a symbol of rationality, thought, exertion, jurisprudence, theology, and in one word, it is a symbol of the religious literature of Judaism. Speaking about the Talmud is speaking about the history of thought and the process of the growing trend of Jewish jurisprudence. The Talmud is a lasting work that has its roots in the history and text of events that took place in the arduous lives of Jews, especially scholars, jurists, and sages of this nation..."

[post_title] => Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism
[post_excerpt] => The scientific and accurate understanding of religious concepts in different traditions is an important issue that scholars and researchers of religions must address today. This is especially significant in the realm of ethics and mysticism, which is less subject to ideological and sectarian divisions and therefore holds even greater importance.
Gershom Scholem (1897-1982), a prominent Jewish researcher, has made significant contributions to the introduction and expansion of Jewish mysticism among Jews and Western academic circles.
According to Scholem, the mythical and mystical elements of Judaism are just as important as rational elements, and he believed that these elements, rather than religious laws and details, reflect the true and living spirit of Judaism. Martin Buber, a great Jewish philosopher and theologian, said about Scholem: "While we all have our own desires and tendencies, it is only Scholem who has created a complete academic knowledge.

Many of us consider 7 as a sacred number and are superstitious about 13. But perhaps we would like to know if these numbers have the same characteristics in distant and nearby cultures as well.
"The Mystery of Numbers" by the famous German orientalist Annemarie Schimmel helps us understand the prominent role of numbers in different cultures and religions. Reading this work provides valuable information about how different nations perceive numbers.

[post_title] => Comprehensive guide to writing a scientific paper
[post_excerpt] => Writing a scientific article is one of the main concerns of students and researchers at higher education levels. Scientific writing requires specific skills and abilities that are not easily acquired.
Many students and researchers usually feel the need to study texts related to scientific writing before starting, and as a result, they are looking for a source to guide them in this area.
The comprehensive guide to writing a scientific article is one of the books that has been written in the field of scientific article writing outside of Iran. The book is written in eight chapters and five appendices, and in the appendices, four important citation styles in the world, including CMS, APA, MLA, and CSE, are explained. This book will be a useful source for many researchers and students and is one of the few Persian sources that extensively discusses the Chicago citation style.

[post_title] => Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: A Three-Volume Course
[post_excerpt] => The book "Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: A Three-Volume Course" is a continuation of the author's previous book "Children of Abraham: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam," which includes excerpts from the sacred texts of these three religions on various topics.
The author aims to provide an expanded explanation and elaboration of the topics covered in the previous book. The author states that their goal in creating this new work is to address various issues that these three closely related groups have often contemplated, particularly topics that facilitate comparative analysis among the three religions. Therefore, selected official, famous, or important texts are used to express these ideas.
For example, all Jews, Christians, and Muslims have contemplated the law of God and how to worship Him, as well as the authority and greatness of God, angels, heaven, and hell. Each group has sought to explain their beliefs and align their members accordingly. And perhaps more importantly, these three religious communities share the belief that divine revelation is not limited to a respected and protected book considered as their holy scripture.
Contents of Volume One:
This volume discusses the emergence and formation of Abrahamic religions and the transformation of each into a distinct and identifiable community. The author begins their discourse from the creation of the world and the first human beings and quickly moves on to the covenant between God and Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him), tracing the historical trajectory of that covenant in the authentic texts of each of these three Abrahamic religions.
Contents of Volume Two:
This volume delves into the teachings of Abrahamic religions, providing detailed discussions on books, traditions, and laws.
Contents of Volume Three:
The main subject of this volume is the mysticism of Abrahamic religions, but the first and second chapters discuss worship and rituals in Abrahamic religions, and the sixth chapter covers eschatology in these religions.

[post_title] => Gnosticism
[post_excerpt] => A group of religious individuals in different periods have confronted each other and others based on their interpretations of the Bible and religious texts, and have gained political and historical importance as a result.
Therefore, esotericism can be considered as a method of research that is not exclusive to any religion (Christianity), sect (Manichaeism, Valentinianism, etc.), or direction (Eastern Iranian or Western Greek).
This is the same diverse phenomenon that many historians of religious thought, such as Jami, Salami, etc., have enumerated and classified in their books, mentioning its characteristics and differences.
Hans Jonas, a German philosopher and historian of religion, introduces Gnosticism as a religion after Jesus (peace be upon him) that has historical and geographical roots, and for this reason he named it "religion".
Translators have therefore used the name "cult" (and not religion) for it. This belief that there is no need to observe external forms of religion in the worship of God, and that the criterion for religiosity is the recognition of God and heartfelt belief in Him, is not exclusive to Christianity and has been followed by various groups.

[post_title] => Repercussions of the Kalam in Jewish Philosophy
[post_excerpt] => The book Repercussions of the Kalam in Jewish Philosophy offers a succinct and enlightening narrative of a significant interplay of theological ideas throughout history. Wolfson, a Jewish philosopher, presents an articulated and well-documented account, showcasing the profound influence of early Muslim theologians and philosophers on the development of Jewish intellectual frameworks.
This exchange facilitated the formulation and organization of theological systems and teachings within Jewish thought. The rational aspect of Judaism thrived through engagement with rational Islamic theology (kalam), notably within the context of Muʿtazilite discourse.

[post_title] => Faith and Morality: A Comparative Account of the Theological Approaches adopted by Kierkegaard and Early Ashʿarites
[post_excerpt] => Faith and Morality: A Comparative Account of the Theological Approaches adopted by Kierkegaard and Early Ashʿarites offers a comprehensive examination of the theological viewpoints embraced by both Kierkegaard and the early Ashʿarites. The main objective of this book is to shed light on the valuable and time-honored teachings of Islamic theology (kalām) by juxtaposing them with modern theological approaches. By conducting a comparative study with contemporary theological outlooks, the book strives to reformulate and systematize the methodology, reasoning, language, and structure of Islamic theology.
In pursuit of this objective, the book undertakes a comparative analysis between the perspectives of the early Ashʿarites and Kierkegaard, a notable Christian existentialist philosopher and fideist theologian. Specifically, the focus of the comparison lies in their respective stances on two significant aspects: faith and morality. The author argues that a fundamental commonality between these two theological frameworks can be found in their shared embrace of non-rationalism and fideism.

[post_title] => Thinking Philosophically: An Introduction to Critical Reflection and Rational Dialogue
[post_excerpt] => The primary goal of this book is to offer a concrete and accessible introduction to the field of philosophy.
The book's content can be categorized into two main sections: metaphilosophy and philosophy. The section on metaphilosophy explores fundamental inquiries, such as: What is philosophy? Who qualifies as a philosopher and what is their role? How does philosophy compare and contrast with other disciplines like religion, science, history, and mathematics? What methods are employed in philosophical inquiry?
The second section of the book directly focuses on issues within three key philosophical domains: epistemology, the theory of value, and metaphysics.
Within the realm of epistemology, various topics are brought to the forefront, including the nature of truth, the essence of knowledge, and logical arguments.
The theory of value explores ethical and moral theories, and metaphysics delves into several key topics, including free will and determinism, the mind-body problem, theism, materialism, and idealism.

[post_title] => The Myth of God Incarnate
[post_excerpt] => This book features ten articles written by seven Christian authors, exploring the issue of Jesus's divinity, which has been justified through the theory of God incarnate.
The book The Myth of God Incarnate is divided into two sections dedicated to the evaluation of sources and the assessment of developments. Its objective is to demonstrate that the notions of God's incarnation and Christ's divinity are regarded as myths, lacking any basis in reality.
The Historical Jesus did not perceive himself as "God Incarnate" or the "incarnation of the second person of the Trinity." Furthermore, the portrayal of Jesus in the three gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke does not diverge from his depiction in the Quran as a distinguished messenger of God.
Issues discussed in the book include the following: a cloud of witnesses, myth in theology, Jesus and world religions, the Christ of the Christendom, Jesus as a man of universal destiny, Christianity without incarnation, and the creed of experience.
Authors who contributed to this book include Maurice Wiles, Frances Young, Michael Goulder, Leslie Houlden, Don Cupitt, Dennis Nineham, and John Hick.
The book, authored by seven individuals, was published three decades ago. Despite the topic not being novel, its release stirred up significant controversy within Christian circles.

[post_title] => Salafists from Past to Present
[post_excerpt] => Groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, Wahhabism, and certain excommunicationist-Jihadist terrorists are commonly associated with Salafism. However, it is important to consider whether the ideas of these groups align with one another. In the present era, the term "Salafism" is increasingly employed to encompass movements like the Muslim Brotherhood and Wahhabism.
While excommunicationist-Jihadist terrorists may be referred to as Salafists, it is crucial to assess whether these groups share common ideas or differ in their beliefs. Additionally, evaluating the perspective of excommunicationist groups regarding Wahhabism becomes pertinent.
The book explores these inquiries, tracing the historical trajectory of Salafism from its origins to the present day, while also shedding light on the key figures who have played significant roles in shaping and establishing Salafist thought.

[post_title] => Reincarnation: Past and Present
[post_excerpt] => This book presents a study of the concept of reincarnation within its contextual framework, examining the arguments surrounding it and critiquing those arguments from the perspective of Islamic doctrines. The book begins by providing a definition of reincarnation and exploring its relationship with resurrection, delving into the intricacies of these issues.
Continuing on, the book delves into the historical backdrop and evolution of the belief in reincarnation within specific religions and denominations. It examines the presence of this belief among ancient Greeks, Hindus, Muslims, Zoroastrians, as well as its relevance in contemporary religions like Christianity and Judaism. The book provides a concise overview of their respective perspectives on this matter.
Subsequently, the book explores the belief in reincarnation and its significance in elucidating the destiny of the human soul following death.

[post_title] => Human Cloning according to Catholicism and Islam
[post_excerpt] => The issue of human cloning has emerged as one of the most significant challenges of the twentieth century, capturing the attention and raising concerns among ethicists and theologians.
Catholicism unequivocally considers human cloning to be a direct infringement upon human dignity and a defiance of the divine plan. Similarly, Sunni scholars and certain Shia scholars share this perspective, criticizing human cloning on these grounds.
This book presents various aspects of human cloning in eight chapters. Its primary objective is to lay the groundwork for religious scholars across various domains to develop plans, make informed decisions, and devise strategies pertaining to the complex topic of human cloning.
The book encompasses a range of topics, including an introductory exploration of genetics, the enigma of reproduction, information on cloning, the composition of individuals and its constituent elements, the medical ethical considerations surrounding cloning, the perspective of divine religions on cloning, the viewpoints of cloning proponents, and the stances adopted by opponents of cloning

[post_title] => Abu Hayyan Tawhidi and Rational Human Thinking in the Fourth Century AH
[post_excerpt] => This book delves into the life and character of Abu Hayyan Tawhidi.
The author examines the exceptional intellectual, cultural, and religious flourishing of the Islamic world during the fourth century AH/tenth century CE, primarily through the lens of intellectuals.

[post_title] => Religion in ancient history: Studies in ideas, men, and events
[post_excerpt] => This book features different chapters that identify with both virtuous and malevolent characters from various ancient religions. Ranging from pre-history and mythology to the history of religions, it delves into the narratives of Osiris and Gilgamesh. Throughout these chapters, the author establishes a connection with the paths of these characters, empathizing with Enkidu and Job for the hardships they endured and their spiritual journeys. Additionally, the author portrays figures such as Seth, Judah, Herod, and Pontius Pilate as embodiments of evil.
As we delve deeper into the interconnectedness of the chapters in this book, a profound realization emerges—that each of these figures serves as a gateway to identifying their counterparts or opposites throughout history.
They embody the timeless struggle between good and evil, much like the eternal dichotomy of devil and angel that exists within and around us. It is within the 23rd and 24th chapters of this book where these profound issues are explored in unprecedented depth.

[post_title] => The Messiah idea in Jewish history
[post_excerpt] => The anticipation for the arrival of a promised savior at the culmination of history is a prevalent theme within the narratives of Judaism and Christianity. Amidst the trials and tribulations that marked their respective histories, the Jewish people persevered through countless humiliations and sufferings, buoyed by the steadfast belief in a messiah who would liberate them from their anguish and establish their dominion over the world.
The term "messiah" originates from the Hebrew word "māšîaḥ," which translates to "anointed." Initially, it referred to ancient Israelite kings. However, over time, the term evolved to encompass the concept of an ideal Jewish king.

[post_title] => A Typology of the Idea of the Anticipated Savior across Religions
[post_excerpt] => A significant question surrounding the concept of an anticipated savior in religions is whether the belief in a promised savior holds value as a positive and constructive notion. If so, what potentials does this idea possess for enhancing the human condition? Furthermore, what material and spiritual energies are inherent within each of these perspectives?
The belief in a savior holds several crucial capacities that contribute to the improvement of the human condition. These include: (1) providing an ideal, (2) presenting a pathway, (3) giving hope, (4) giving a meaning for life or a philosophy for history, (5) preparing a ground for mutual understanding and convergence, (6) creating a kind of active anticipation, and (7) moving beyond false hopes.

[post_title] => God in the Thoughts of Western Philosophers (“Does God Exist?” An Answer for Today) Volume 1
[post_excerpt] => Hans Küng, a Catholic theologian and philosopher, was born in 1928 in Sursee, Switzerland. After completing his preliminary studies, he traveled to Rome, the heart of Catholic Christianity, to pursue philosophy (1948-1951) and theology (1955-1955) at the Pontifical Gregorian University. During this period, he wrote two dissertations: one in philosophy examining Jean Paul Sartre's atheistic humanism, and the other in theology exploring Karl Barth.
In 1951, he traveled to France to pursue a PhD in theology. He furthered his philosophical and theological studies at the Catholic University of Paris and Sorbonne University. Upon completing his PhD in theology, he returned to Lausanne, Switzerland, and was ordained as a priest. In 1960, he accepted an invitation from the University of Tübingen in Germany to become a professor of theology, a position he held until his retirement.
In 1962, he was appointed as a theological advisor to Pope John XXIII. In this role, he had the opportunity to influence important decisions, such as shedding light on the theological perspectives of Church officials, and played a crucial role in shaping the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965).
In 1963, Hans Küng founded ecumenical theology with the aim of fostering closer relationships between Christian denominations, and eventually various religions. This initiative led to the establishment of the Institute for Ecumenical Research. Since then, his scholarly and practical endeavors have focused on promoting unity among diverse religions around the world.

[post_title] => Introduction to the Study of Religion
[post_excerpt] => According to religious studies scholar Jonathan Z. Smith, research on this subject should not adhere to the definitional criteria established by religious "insiders." He argues that there is a longstanding tradition that prioritizes philosophical contemplation over ritual practices and material aspects of religion, such as the historical distinction between Protestants and Catholics.
The history of research reveals a preoccupation with tracing the origins of a particular religion and seeking authenticity within those origins. This approach is akin to the emphasis placed by Protestant Christianity on the Bible, rather than considering the entirety of a religious tradition throughout its entire existence.
