Among Protestants, Lutheran scholars stood out as particularly interested in studying Islam and Muslim culture. Mehmet Karabela's book, \"Islamic Thought Through Protestant Eyes,\" sheds light on the neglected voices of post-Reformation theologians, primarily German Lutherans, who engaged rigorously with Islamic thought. Drawing from a global history approach to religious thought, this book offers fresh perspectives to expand the conventional interpretation of the Reformation beyond its European Christian confines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKarabela's analysis revolves around three themes: Islam as theology and religion, Islamic philosophy and liberal arts, and Muslim sects (Sunni and Shi'a). He conducts his research using previously unstudied dissertations, disputations, and academic works written in Latin during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Through meticulous analysis and translation of these Latin texts, along with concise biographies of the authors, Karabela provides valuable insights into the Protestant perception of Islamic thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book appeals to scholars of religious studies and Islamic studies, as well as to general readers, who are eager to explore the interplay between Christianity and Islam. Examining the influence of Islamic thought on the construction of Protestant identity after the Reformation helps us understand the role of Islam in the evolution of Christianity. By delving into these neglected voices and themes, \"Islamic Thought Through Protestant Eyes\" contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex and multifaceted relationship between these two religious traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 570g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 229 x 27 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367549596\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MehmetKarabela","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104602583290,"sku":"9780367549596","price":44.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1664604633087_book.jpg?v=1664822114","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/islamic-thought-through-protestant-eyes-9780367549596","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
