Zo’n vier miljard mensen hangen een vorm van islam of christendom aan. Dat is meer dan de helft van de wereldbevolking. De twee wereldreligies delen een geschiedenis van bijna 1400 jaar, en kwamen in diverse regio’s met elkaar in contact. De tien bijdragen in Islam en christendom beslaan de hele historische periode en een groot deel van de geografische ruimte: van de invloed van het christendom op het ontstaan van de islam, tot de situatie van christelijke minderheden in het huidige Syrië en Irak.Tien specialisten werpen een blik op deze rijke geschiedenis. Zij behandelen puur religieuze onderwerpen, maar ook de invloed van deze religies op filosofie, taalkunde, economie en politiek.Verschillende regio’s en periodes staan centraal. Zo komen de vroege middeleeuwen aan bod, maar ook de kruistochten, samenlevingsvormen en conflicten in islamitisch Andalusië, de Balkan onder Ottomaans bestuur of het hedendaagse Midden-Oosten. Het boek besteedt ook aandacht aan de manier waarop wetenschappers de geschiedenis geschreven hebben, zoals in de beroemde these van Henri Pirenne.

This book focuses on how employees should work and follow in contemporary organizations. It begins with the call from Col 3:22-24 for employees to treat work as worship to God and to conduct their work to the best of their ability (Prov 22:29). It then explains how employees should help each other but not to the point of self-defeat (Galatians 6). Employees are then cautioned for the need to be true followers but to know the extent to which being a follower might call them to be committed to both the organization and the leader/manager. This is the concept of Akoloutheo. The rewards of being diligent and faithful employees are conveyed through an examination of the Parable of the Talents. The book concludes with an admonishment to everyone to prepare versus plan for one’s personal life. Managers plan for projects but should prepare for what God asks each of us to do and then to accept the opportunities that God presents to us. .

This book examines the scriptural concepts that apply to leading and managing people. It begins with a chapter that contrasts leaders, managers, and administrators and the roles they each play. The book then presents the seven virtues from the Beatitudes and how these virtues result in leaders and managers’ behaviors. The book then reviews the 15 characteristics of what love is and what love is not from the 1 Corinthians 12 passage. The book presents the four modalities of leaders as conveyed in the Ezekiel 1 and 10 chapters, as well as Revelations 4 where Ezekiel and John describe the four faces of the winged beings. The modalities are described in terms of contemporary leaders interacting with employees in the workplace. A chapter follows, based on the Parable of the Vineyard and how leaders should provide a minimum living wage. The book then compares the wife in Proverbs 31 to a good leader/manager in today’s contemporary organization. The book ends with an admonition from Ecclesiastes 3:1 about the need for leaders/managers to step away and not meddle when the leader/manager’s role is finished. Throughout the book, composite case examples provide practical application of the concepts to contemporary organizations.

This book provides a recipe for healthy moral and personal transformation. Belliotti takes seriously Dante’s deepest yearnings: to guide human well-being; to elevate social and political communities; to remedy the poisons spewed by the seven capital vices; and to celebrate the connections between human self-interest, virtuous living, and spiritual salvation. By closely examining and analyzing five of Dante’s more vivid characters in hell—Piero della Vigna, Brunetto Latini, Farinata degli Uberti, Cavalcante de’ Cavalcanti, and Guido da Montefeltro—and extracting the moral lessons Dante intends them to convey, and by conceptually analyzing envy, arrogance, pride, and human flourishing, the author challenges readers to interrogate and refine their modes of living.
