Islam is charity: the foundations of a modern religion

For the first time in the German-speaking world: a contemporary Islamic theology. Mouhanad Khorchide shows how Islam can come from within itself to a self-understanding that makes a fundamental turn towards a theology of a merciful God. – The revised and expanded paperback edition responds to accusations from fundamentalist circles that some of the positions advocated in the book are not compatible with Islam.

Pour la première fois dans l’espace germanophone : une théologie islamique contemporaine. Mouhanad Khorchide montre comment l’Islam peut se forger lui-même une conception de lui-même qui marque un tournant fondamental vers la théologie d’un Dieu miséricordieux. – L’édition révisée et étendue du livre de poche répond à des allégations émanant de milieux intégristes selon lesquelles certaines des positions du livre ne sont pas compatibles avec l’islam.

Titre original : “Islam ist Barmherzigkeit: Grundzüge einer modernen Religion”

Erstmals für den deutschsprachigen Raum: eine zeitgenössische islamische Theologie. Mouhanad Khorchide zeigt, wie der Islam aus sich selbst heraus zu einem Selbstverständnis kommen kann, das eine fundamentale Wende hin zu einer Theologie eines barmherzigen Gottes vollzieht. – Die überarbeitete und erweiterte Taschenbuchausgabe antwortet auf Vorwürfe aus fundamentalistischen Kreisen, einige der im Buch vertretenen Positionen seien nicht mit dem Islam vereinbar. Mouhanad Khorchide sorgt für Klarheit.,,… ein revolutionäres Projekt, das er in seinem Buch überzeugend demonstriert.” Professor Dr. Angelika Neuwirth
