Description:
Throughout history to the present day, religion has
ideologically fueled wars, conquests, and persecutions. Christianity
and Islam, the world’s largest and geopolitically powerful faiths, are
often positioned as mortal enemies locked in an apocalyptic “clash of
civilizations.” Rarely are similarities addressed.
Dreaming in
Christianity and Islam, the first book to explore dreaming in
these religions through original essays, fills this void. The editors
reach a plateau by focusing on how studying dreams reveals new aspects
of social and political reality. International scholars document the
impact of dreams on sacred texts, mystical experiences, therapeutic
practices, and doctrinal controversies.
