Spellberg reveals a little-known but crucial dimension of the story of American religious freedom?a drama in which Islam played a surprising role. In 1765, eleven years before composing the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson bought a Qur'an.Jefferson sought to understand Islam notwithstanding his personal disdain for the faith, a sentiment prevalent among his Protestant contemporaries in England and America. But unlike most of them, by 1776 Jefferson could imagine Muslims as future citizens of his new country.Based on groundbreaking research, Spellberg compellingly recounts how a handful of the Founders, Jefferson foremost among them, drew upon Enlightenment ideas about the toleration of Muslims (then deemed the ultimate outsiders in Western society) to fashion out of what had been a purely speculative debate a practical foundation for governance in America. In this way, Muslims, who were not even known to exist in the colonies, became the imaginary outer limit for an unprecedented, uniquely American religious pluralism that would also encompass the actual despised minorities of Jews and Catholics. The rancorous public dispute concerning the inclusion of Muslims, for which principle Jefferson's political foes would vilify him to the end of his life, thus became decisive in the Founders' ultimate judgment not to establish a Protestant nation, as they might well have done."

Condition: Sehr gut. 188 Seiten Zustand: Einband etwas berieben // Signierte Ausgabe. Arbeitsmaterialen zum Orient, Band 12 Es hat stets eine große Differenz in der Beurteilung der Ästhetik des Koran zwischen den westlichen Islamwissenschaftlern und den Muslimen gegeben. Während die Muslime die Schönheit des Koran und seine Unnachahmlichkeit sowohl in sprachlicher, rhetorischer und literarischer Hinsicht hervorheben, können viele europäische Orientalisten dem Koran in ästhetischer Hinsicht kaum etwas Positives abgewinnen. Diese Orientalisten verkennen zum einen den liturgischen Rezitationscharakter des koranischen Texts und zum anderen den Zusammenhang zwischen dem ästhetischen Urteil der Muslime und der gläubigen Rezeption des Korantexts in der muslimischen Gesellschaft. Die islamische Literatur hält zahlreiche Zeugnisse bereit, worin die sinnlich erfaßbare Seite der Koranrezitation dokumentiert ist. Der afi'itische Jurist und Rechtsgelehrte Abû Ishâq Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ibrâhîm at-Ta'labî (gest. 427/1035-1036) hat in seiner mystisch erbaulichen biographischen Sammlung Kitâb fîhi qatlâ l-Qur'ân die extremste Wirkung festgehalten, die eine Koranrezitation beim Hörer hervorrufen kann. Das kleine Werk enthält neunzehn Überlieferungen über Asketen sowie vier Éinnen, die in Folge einer Koranrezitation gestorben sind. Mit der kommentierten Edition und Übersetzung der drei Handschriften zu at-Ta'labîs Werk möchte die Arbeit einen Beitrag zur ästhetischen Rezeptionsgeschichte des Koran leisten. Der Kommentar zum Qatlâ l-Qur'ân hat folgende Ziele: Es sollen zum einen die in der Schrift sowohl explizit als auch implizit enthaltenen Faktoren herausgearbeitet werden, deren Zusammenwirken den Tod der Personen und Éinnen bei der Koranrezitation hervorrufen. Danach werden die einzelnen Personen und ihre asketische Geistes- und Lebenshaltung näher beleuchtet. Anschließend beschäftigt sich der Kommentar mit der stereotypen Erzählweise und Struktur der Überlieferungen. Zum Schluß wird at-Ta'labîs Werk im Kontext der mystischen Literatur betrachtet. /// Versand gratis Innerhalb Deutschlands - Portofrei in Deutschland- ab 20 Euro mit Post ID - Gratisversand deutschlandweit innerhalb Deutschlands gratis Versand -Versandkostenfrei innerhalb Deutschlands /// Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 380 24,0 x 17,0 cm, Softcover/Paperback.
