دانلود کتاب Islamic and Jewish Legal Reasoning: Encountering Our Legal Other

By pairing a scholar of Islamic law with a scholar of Jewish law, a unique dynamic is created. This new perspective not only provides a deeper understanding of the other’s legal tradition, but it also reveals new insights into the one’s own legal tradition, shedding light on what we had previously been too close to observe.Whether for the pursuit of advanced scholarship, pedagogic innovation in the classroom, or simply a greater appreciation of how to live in a multi-faith community, these encounters are richly-stimulating, demonstrating how legal tradition can be used as a common site for developing discussions and opening up diverse approaches to questions about law. Surrounded as we are by political, economic and social dilemmas, it offers a truly incisive model for considering the good, the right and the legal in our societies today. For a thoughtful but circumspect readership, Islamic and Jewish Legal Reasoning is essential.‘Readers of this book will sit down with learned students of Judaism and Islam and join a wonderfully engaging conversation about the meaning, value, and possible revision of legal traditions.’Michael Walzer, Professor Emeritus, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton‘In this collaborative effort, leading scholars of Islamic and Jewish law take a pioneering approach to reading texts across religious boundaries. The result is a revelatory exploration of faith traditions in deep dialogue with one another. Islamic and Jewish Legal Reasoning offers a model of reciprocal conversation at a time when it is too often in short supply.’Dr. Seth Anziska, Lecturer in Jewish-Muslim Relations, University College London‘Anver Emon and Robert Gibbs are among the very best scholars of their generation on (respectively) Islamic and Jewish legal reasoning. This volume is a treasure, bringing their work into conversation with other notable scholars, helping us to better understand our shared heritage.’Amir Hussain, Professor of Theological Studies, Loyola Marymount University
