Hasan Horkuc (EDT) God, Man, and Mortality

Annotation

God, Man, Mortality is a collection of essays written both by seasoned and by up and coming scholars working the field known as Nursi studies. The aim of these essays is to hold a mirror up to Nursis teachings on a number of issues, just as Nursi held a mirror up to the teachings of the Quran. The scope is broad covering subjects such as Divine immanence and transcendence, human spirituality and mans role as Divine vicegerent. Divine determining and free will, and human conscience as evidence of the existence of God. The topics presented by the authors are unashamedly theocentric in nature: discussions on politics and legal theory are conspicuous by their absence. We benefit from the depth of awareness that the contributors clearly have of Nursis teachings and his place in the Muslim academe, as well as from their lucid expository styles and strong authorial voices.
