In Islam God is the sole ultimate lawgiver Given the absence of a living prophet all law worthy of the name must therefore be derived from texts that contain divine revelation or possess authority grounded in that revelation Classical Muslim jurisprudents regarded the effort to discover divine law through these texts exceedingly demanding since it required one to grapple with an enormous array of difficult textcritical and hermeneutic issues Although the Quran itself was considered above challenge other texts had to be subjected to rigorous tests of authenticity while the meaning of the texts Quranic and nonQuranic became a topic of intense debate Without an ecclesiastic institution vested with authority to proclaim correct interpretations the development of law through interpretation became a largely individualistic enterprise though imbued with a keen sense of communal responsibilityThe Search for Gods Law provides a comprehensive overview of Islamic theoretical jurisprudence as expounded in the writings of one of its greatest figures Sayf alDin alAmidi d 1233 Amidis influential Kitab alihkam fi usul alahkam represents a high point of Sunni legal thought culminating a long period of development and incorporating the thinking of rival scholars and earlier mastersUsing Amidis work Bernard Weiss explicates and discusses the various issues that define Islamic jurisprudence as an integrated system during the time of this important mainstream scholar The Search for Gods Law presents a lucid exposition of the relationship between sacred text and mundane law It is the most comprehensive treatment of Islamic jurisprudence yet to appear in a Western language

A Search for God in Time and Memory is an experiment in religious thought While Catholic in scope and in historical perspective it bypasses religious authority and official documents to find its sources in the life experiences of individuals It is a search says John S Dunne which will carry us on quests and journeys through life stories through hells purgatories and heavens through ages of life through stories of God The quest begins with an examination of ones own life with an awareness of patterns of its past and the contingencies of its future The point of individual departure then is to seek comparison and perspective from the lives of great writers and philosophers finding resonances between their lives and ones own and returning at last to ones own standpoint It is in this process of passing over that one discovers the greater dimensions of man those which reach beyond the self and the individual life story This process is ultimately how man brings time to mind how he searches through time and memory for passing over avails him of the time and memory of others and coming back leaves his own time and memory enriched In analyzing the stages of lifechildhood youth manhood and ageas they appear in modern autobiography he discovers beneath these life experiences the possibilities of companionship with God in time and the face underlying all that of the compassionate God and the Compassionate Savior

Theologian and hightech consultant Jennifer Cobb combines her expertise to create a new theory of the Divine in the Information AgeAs computers and artificial intelligence systems become more sophisticated the question of whether we can find spiritual life in cyberspace is beginning to be asked CyberGrace The Search for God in the Digital World is a bold thoughtprovoking affirmative answer to one of the most intriguing inquiries of our time Until now an unbridgeable schism has separated the world of the spirit and that of the machine According to an increasingly compelling concept known as emergence the gulf may be an imaginary one Fifty years ago Jesuit paleontologist Teilhard de Chardin combined his lifelong passions of God and science to predict the emergence of cyberspace based on his studies of evolution Using Teilhards theories as a starting point Jennifer Cobb asserts that as technical systems become more complexwith simple predictable mechanisms coalescing into hierarchies of increasing organizationsomething elegant inspired and absolutely unpredictable simply and suddenly emerges Many observers today see this hand of God showing itself in disparate disciplines from evolutionary theory to artificial intelligenceand especially in the furthest realms of cyberspace where brute computation seems to give way to divine inspiration CyberGrace offers paradoxical evidence that our machines may be conduits to a deeper spirituality With daily headlines announcing dizzying advances in science and information technology many people wonder about theirand their childrensability to lead lives imbued by a sense of the sacred In the new world where the search for spirituality may seem scattered and unfocused Cobb brilliantly uses the most popular and prevalent phenomenon of our timesthe computerto find a world filled with meaning and love
