Sharia – the misunderstood God: the way to a modern Islamic ethic

Presentation of the publisher

Few terms refer to Islam as “sharia”. Mouhanad Khorchide, exploring new foundations of an Islamic theology (“Islam is mercy”) and in a renewed approach to the term, history and definitions of sharia, develops the basis of a modern Islamic ethic.

Original title : “Scharia – der missverstandene Gott: Der Weg zu einer modernen islamischen Ethik”

Présentation de l’éditeur

Peu de termes évoquent l’Islam comme la “charia”. Mouhanad Khorchide, explorant de nouvelles fondations d’une théologie islamique (“l’islam est miséricorde”) et dans une approche renouvelée du terme, de l’histoire et des définitions très différentes de la charia, développe la base d’une éthique islamique moderne.

Titre original : “Scharia – der missverstandene Gott: Der Weg zu einer modernen islamischen Ethik”

Kaum ein Begriff sorgt in Bezug auf den Islam für so viel Unbehagen und Unruhe wie “Scharia”. Mouhanad Khorchide legt in Weiterentwicklung seiner bahnbrechenden Grundlegung einer islamischen Theologie (“Islam ist Barmherzigkeit”) und in kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit dem Begriff, der Geschichte und den sehr unterschiedlichen Definitionen der Scharia die Basis für eine moderne islamische Ethik.
