Perilous Intimacies: Debating Hindu-Muslim Friendship After Empire (Religion, Culture, and Public Life #49)
by SherAli TareenFriendship—particularly interreligious friendship—offers both promise and peril. After the end of Muslim political sovereignty in South Asia, how did Muslim scholars grapple with the possibilities and dangers of Hindu-Muslim friendship? How did they negotiate the incongruities between foundational texts and attitudes toward non-Muslims that were informed by the premodern context of Muslim empire and the realities of British colonialism, which rendered South Asian Muslims a political minority?In this groundbreaking book, SherAli Tareen explores how leading South Asian Muslim thinkers imagined and contested the boundaries of Hindu-Muslim friendship from the late eighteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. He argues that often what was at stake in Muslim scholarly discourse and debates on Hindu-Muslim friendship were unresolved tensions and fissures over the place and meaning of Islam in the modern world. Perilous Intimacies considers a range of topics, including Muslim scholarly translations of Hinduism, Hindu-Muslim theological polemics, the question of interreligious friendship in the Qur’an, intra-Muslim debates on cow sacrifice, and debates on emulating Hindu customs and habits.Based on the close reading of an expansive and multifaceted archive of Arabic, Persian, and Urdu sources, this book illuminates the depth, complexity, and profound divisions of the Muslim intellectual traditions of South Asia. Perilous Intimacies also provides timely perspective on the historical roots of present-day Hindu-Muslim relations, considering how to overcome thorny legacies and open new horizons for interreligious friendship.
Perilous Passages
by Julie A. ChappellOn December 27, 1934, the American scholar Hope Emily Allen announced in The Times the reappearance of a late medieval manuscript called The Book of Margery Kempe. Perilous Passages: The Book of Margery Kempe, 1534-1934 explores the various paths by which this late medieval manuscript made its way out of a monastery in Yorkshire during Henry VIII's religious reformation to the home of a family of deep English and Catholic roots in the twentieth century. Julie A. Chappell reveals new evidence that implicates the Carthusians as conscious preservers of this manuscript between 1534 and 1537 and significantly furthers our understanding of the ways in which the unique autobiography of Margery Kempe, lay woman turned mystic and visionary, was interpreted. Most importantly, this fascinating study bridges the gaps in our understanding of the transmission of texts from the medieval past to the present.

Perishing Heathens: Stories of Protestant Missionaries and Christian Indians in Antebellum America
by Julius H. RubinIn Perishing Heathens Julius H. Rubin tells the stories of missionary men and women who between 1800 and 1830 responded to the call to save Native peoples through missions, especially the Osages in the Arkansas Territory, Cherokees in Tennessee and Georgia, and Ojibwe peoples in the Michigan Territory. Rubin also recounts the lives of Native converts, many of whom were from mixed-blood métis families and were attracted to the benefits of education, literacy, and conversion. During the Second Great Awakening, Protestant denominations embraced a complex set of values, ideas, and institutions known as “the missionary spirit.” These missionaries fervently believed they would build the kingdom of God in America by converting Native Americans in the Trans-Appalachian and Trans-Mississippi West. Perishing Heathens explores the theology and institutions that characterized the missionary spirit and the early missions such as the Union Mission to the Osages, and the Brainerd Mission to the Cherokees, and the Moravian Springplace Mission to the Cherokees. Through a magnificent array of primary sources, Perishing Heathens reconstructs the millennial ideals of fervent true believers as they confronted a host of impediments to success: endemic malaria and infectious illness, Native resistance to the gospel message, and intertribal warfare in the context of the removal of eastern tribes to the Indian frontier.

Perlas de la Mente Despierta
by David HoffmeisterEstos escritos cortos de David Hoffmeister guían a la mente a un descanso íntimo y deliberado.Amor Divino &“Hay una experiencia que acaba con toda incertidumbre y que pone fin a todas las preguntas. Esta experiencia es el Amor. La experiencia del amor es inspirada por la Divinidad y es eternamente constante. El Amor no viene y va, ni sale y se oculta como el sol, tampoco brilla resplandeciente para luego palidecer y desaparecer por un tiempo. El Amor no es personal ni específico. Es imposible amar algo específico, porque el Amor lo es Todo y no está seccionado. El Amor no tiene opuestos, siendo Todo lo que Dios crea para siempre. La Mente Divina es Dios, es Amor, es Todo.&”Este libro electrónico está salpicado con delicadas ilustraciones en acuarela y es en sí, un regalo para el corazón... permite que la mente sea bañada suavemente con la Luz de la Verdad.DespiertaMuchos son llamados, pocos los que deciden escuchar. De aquellos que escuchan, menos aún están dispuestos a seguir. De aquellos que siguen, menos todavía están listos para seguir completamente. Tal es el temor al Amor de Dios, el miedo de despertar a la eternidad. Aún así la Expiación es segura, permaneciendo intacta a través del tiempo y las preocupaciones ilusorias acerca del tiempo. Descansa feliz en el Hecho de que nada puede afectar al Amor eterno.El tiempo de juguetes y baratijas ya se ha acabado en el gozo de la Expiación. El propósito es la única opción significativa ahora. Todo lo demás no importa en lo mas mínimo, ni tiene valor alguno. Deja atrás todos los castillos ficticios. Deja a un lado los roles y la vanidad del juego de la personalidad. Nunca hubo un momento en el que el Cristo fuera padre, madre, hermana, hermano, esposo, esposa, padre, hijo o humano. El Presente existe antes de que existiera el tiempo. Permanece intacto en Sagrada Unión con la Eternidad.Ha llegado el momento de despertar. El tiempo que le queda a las palabras y a los conceptos está por finalizar. Ahora buscamos la experiencia directa del Amor de Dios. De buena gana dejamos a un lado técnicas, repeticiones y rituales para que podamos llegar al encuentro con Dios en el silencio de nuestros corazones. Lo que creíamos saber acerca de Dios era un error. Y así llegamos esta vez con las manos vacías y los brazos abiertos, conscientes de que no sabemos el camino a Dios, pero con la certeza de que Dios nos lo mostrará.Cuando miramos a nuestro alrededor, vemos que compañeros poderosos se han unido a nosotros para este ascenso final a Dios. Un amigo es un amigo para siempre en el Señor. La bienvenida nunca termina en la faz de Cristo. La relación santa ha llegado a nosotros y nos llena de alegría y gratitud. Los testigos del sueño feliz se ven por todas partes, en cada dirección que vemos, en todo momento. El manto de la paz se ha extendido a lo largo de toda la faz de la tierra. La tranquilidad fluye hacia todos sus rincones. No queda nada más que hacer que celebrar, regocijarnos y bendecir. Todas las baratijas del mundo que una vez llamaron nuestra atención carecen de valor ahora frente a la inmensidad de la experiencia presente. Toda ambición y lucha por metas futuras ha desaparecido. Toda curiosidad acerca del mundo y sus formas ha acabado.Descansamos en una quietud tan profunda e insondable que el tiempo transcurre sin afectar al Espíritu. Escuchamos. Oímos. Nos regocijamos.
