Reseña del editor:
This is a literary, philosophical, geopolitical and theological exploration of the third and latest in a series of three religions, all solidly rooted in Semitic languages, Abrahamic traditions, scriptures and cultures. The first was Talmudic Judaism, the successor faith to the ancient Hebrew religion, centered in the rites and rituals of the Temple. The temple-based cult ended in 70CE, several decades after the time of Jesus. The Roman armies, commanded by the later emperor, Titus, attacked Jerusalem in response to a persistent revolutionary movement in the Latin province of Palestine. As a result, the Temple was razed, burned and destroyed, thus ending the old sacrifice-based cult. The modern religion called Judaism came forth from this, preserving their Hebraic scriptures in the Old Testament as well as accumulating and codifying rabbinical thought and lore in the Talmud. But, Christianity was already an active and growing rival faith, so was not all that much affected by the attack on Jerusalem or the destruction of the Temple. In 325CE it became the official Roman state religion, spreading even more widely throughout the ancient world. However, about three centuries after that, a new rival creed came forth, led by an ascetic desert prophet called Muhammad. The faith he preached was called Islam, from the Arabic words for peace and submission. Hence, a Muslim, a follower of Islam, translates as one at peace, one in submission to God, in Arabic called Allah. The Archangel Gabriel is said to have dictated the Koran to Muhammad, seen as the last and greatest prophet. Since the late 600s, Islam has spread over much of the world. Now outnumbering Roman Catholics, there are over one and a half billion Muslims with an estimated six to eight million here in the United States. We shall explore this dynamic, vibrant-and somewhat uncompromising-belief system that stands before us and directly confronts us politically and spiritually on the world stage. Read my new book and discover the background and facts about this explosive belief system. Dr. Harrell Rhome EagleNewsTips@aol.com
