В классическом фундаментальном труде немецкого ученого Августа Мюллера, посвященном истории ислама, проанализированы доисламская история арабов и история арабов от пророка Мухаммеда до падения арабской династии Аббасидов. По богатству материала и широте охвата стран и событий, а также благодаря титаническим усилиям автора по обработке арабских письменных источников «История ислама» и сегодня остается одним из важнейших исследований. Многие термины, понятия и названия в тексте оставлены именно так, как их написал автор. Для вдумчивого читателя не составит большого труда соотнести авторскую интерпретацию слов с их современным написанием.
Академик барон В.Р. Розен сказал об этой книге: «…я не знаю ни одного другого сочинения, которое давало бы столь ясный, связный и осмысленный общий обзор преимущественно внешней истории мусульманского мира, не говоря уже о том, что и во многих частных вопросах оно дает веские и ценные указания и разъяснения, свидетельствующие как о добросовестности, с которой автор всюду проверял своих предшественников по доступным ему источникам, так и о самостоятельности его взглядов».
Данное издание включает 1-й и 2-й тома «Истории ислама».

Книга Эжена Марена посвящена истории византийского монашества от Константина Великого до патриарха Фотия. Автор рассказывает о том, как с принятием христианства Константинополь и обширные территории Восточной Римской империи начали стремительно застраиваться храмами и монастырями, каждый из которых имел особый уклад и традиции. Марен знакомит читателя с внутренним миром обители, прослеживает жизнь инока от вступления в монастырь до принятия высшего сана, рассказывает о том, какую роль монахи играли в политической и общественной жизни империи. Отдельная глава посвящена интеллектуальной деятельности монахов, среди которых было немало поистине талантливых ученых-богословов, живописцев, гимнографов и поэтов.

Just as our life is in our blood, the life for Christ’s body is in His blood. Changing a church is more than a new goal or direction. Our churches need more than an organizational transition; we need a full transfusion of Jesus' blood, His life, within every disciple. Anything less than that will only perpetuate more of the dysfunction and unhealthy church practices that have already plagued us for too long. We are in desperate need of the internally transforming power of the gospel of grace and the presence of Christ so that our salvation is then worked out in a way the rest of the world will notice. It isn’t enough that we believe in the facts contained in the gospel, we must allow the gospel itself to infect our souls and transform us from within. The DNA of Jesus' lifeblood is needed in our churches and nothing shy of a full transfusion that touches every cell will be sufficient. In this book Neil Cole (author of Organic Church, Church Transfusion and Journeys to Significance) and Phil Helfer, co-founders of Church Multiplication Associates, will first point out that change is possible with God, but only with God. In the second half of the book they will lay out some of the actual practical considerations to weigh if you want to release real organic health in your church. Using multiple examples of very different kinds of churches that have been through the process, the authors present ways that leadership and practices need to change in order to release organic church movements from their midst. Chapters cover: Leadershifts necessary Detoxification from dependence issues. How to ignite change virally. How to grandparent movements. How to measure success in movements. This book (another in the Leadership Network series) applies organic life principles to established churches with practical help that is holistic and natural. The content in this book will be helpful whether you are pastor of an established church or wanting to revitalize a small organic church. Jesus didn’t die and rise from the dead so that we can be like everyone else in the world. Our faith is more than just a better doctrine or a bigger goal with a capital giving campaign; it is a better life. Jesus is the difference, and what a difference he makes…don't be satisfied with less.

After Terror presents sustained reflections by some of the world's most celebrated thinkers on the most pressing question of our time: how can we find ways to defuse the ticking bombs of terrorism and excessive interventions against it? It offers an antidote to the fatalistic global holy war perspective that afflicts much contemporary thought, focusing instead on the principles, issues, and acts needed to shift course from alienation and conflict to a path of sanity and goodwill among cultures and civilizations. The central aim of the book is to advance contemporary thinking on the causes and implications of 9/11 and thus provide the essential elements of a blueprint for humanity. It features 28 original essays by some of the world's leading public figures, scholars, and religious leaders, including Benjamin Barber, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jean Bethke Elshtain, Amitai Etzioni, Bernard Lewis, Martin Marty, Queen Noor, Joseph Nye, Judea Pearl, Jonathan Sacks, Ravi Shankar, Bishop Desmond Tutu, E.O. Wilson and James D. Wolfensohn. After Terror attests to the power of dialogue and mutual understanding and the possibility of tolerance, respect, cooperation, and commitment. Without ignoring the dangers of the modern world, it points to a future in which people can celebrate both the fundamental sentiments and interests that we share and the diversities that make us human.
