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

Western culture has eclipsed the fundamental conviction that developed its worldview gave birth to its institutions and provided continual rejuvenation to its way of life namely that the living God AllPowerful and AllKnowing is actively searching for us In this radical quest God became a man lived a human life died a torturous death triumphantly rose from the dead and ascended into eternal glory This central Christian belief is the heart of Western culture It broke the pathetic pantheistic and deterministic pagan worldview of angry vengeful gods in a dark world of personal despair and meaninglessness It was precisely the Dawn from on High breaking upon the human family and shedding abundant eternal light that allowed for a hope to be born a dignity recognized and a human creativity to flourish It made all the difference And it gave an impetus to the creation and development of Western culture As this profound belief has waned so have its blessings As we see a formerly abandoned worldview with all its demons being ushered back into Western culture we have to make some decisions Will the diminishing of the light be recognized Will darkness be rejected There are many options to preserve the West And yet if Western people pursue all other options but forget the most foundational then the result would only be a house built on sand This simple book is a reminder of forgotten realities a resource to reinvigorate a tired culture and a reassertion of the radical truth that God is searching for us Yes this book is a small effort to point to a supreme truth namely that the living God the Creator and Sustainer of all things will move any mountain or fill any valley to find us heal and restore us embrace us and show us our dignity as his children

The worlds leading neurologist on outofbody and neardeath experiences shows that spirituality is as much a part of our basic biological makeup as our sex drive or survival instinct If Buddha had been in an MRI machine and not under the Bodhi tree when he attained enlightenment what would we have seen on the monitor Dr Kevin Nelson offers an answer to that question that is beyond what any scientist has previously encountered on the borderlands of consciousness In his cuttingedge research Nelson has discovered that spiritual experiences take place in one of the most primitive areas of the brain In this eloquent inspired and reverent book he relates the moving stories of patients and research subjects brain scan analysis evolutionary biology and beautiful examples of transcendence from literature to reveal the machinery in our heads that enables us to perceive miracleswhether you are an atheist Buddhist or the most devout Catholic The patients and people Nelson discuss have had an extremely diverse set of spiritual experiences from arguing with the devil sitting at the foot of their hospital bed to seeing the universe synchronize around the bouncing of the ball in a pinball machine However the bizarre experiences dont make the people seem like freaks they seem strangely very much like us in surprising ways Ultimately Nelson makes clear that spiritual experiences are not the exception in human life but rather an inescapable and precious part of every one of us
