JuraLaw™, an imprint of TellerBooks™, has just published “The Jurisprudence of Jihād: The Use of Force and the Ethics of Violence through the Prism of the Islamic Law of War.” 

Beginning with a general introduction to Islamic law and its sources (uṣūl al-fiqh), this study examines the Islamic law of war, or fiqh al-jihād. It opens with a discourse on Islamic public international law, including the bifurcation of the world into dār al-Islām (abode of peace) and dār al-ḥarb (abode of war). The reader’s attention is then turned to jus ad bellum (the legitimacy of resorting to armed force) and jus in bello (the laws governing the use of force in armed conflict) within the framework of classical Islamic law. Next, the book discusses contemporary militant jihādī fiqh (jurisprudence), with a view towards examining the views on killing, the targeting of civilians and the means and methods of warfare espoused by armed groups operating in the name of Islam, including the Taliban and al Qaeda. This is followed by a discussion of Yusuf Al-Qaradawi’s treatise, Fiqh al-Jihād, and Qaradawi’s response to the views of contemporary jihādī militants. Finally, the book concludes with a discussion on the challenges of using public international law and Islamic law to increase Islamic armed groups’ compliance with humanitarian law.

LogosLight™ publishes Bible Contradictions and Their Resolutions: Answering Purported Biblical Self-Contradictions

LogosLight™, an imprint of TellerBooks™, has just published Bible Contradictions and Their Resolutions: Answering Purported Biblical Self-Contradictions.

At last, a reasoned response to the claim that the Bible is riddled with self-contradictions that render it unreliable. This book examines and responds to purported contradictions in the Bible: Did Simon carry Jesus’ cross, as reported in the Gospel of Luke, or did Jesus, as reported in the Gospel of John? Did a centurion plead with Jesus to heal his servant, as Matthew reports, or did he send elders of the Jews to plead with Jesus, as Luke reports? Did 40,000 horsemen die in battle with David, as 2 Samuel reports, or did 40,000 foot soldiers die, as 1 Chronicles reports? Did both thieves mock Jesus on the cross, as narrated by the Gospel of Matthew, or did only one thief mock him, as narrated by the Gospel of Mark?

Many students of the Bible, upon examining these purported self-contradictions, throw their hands up in frustration and conclude that the Bible cannot be divinely inspired. Some Christians, unable to explain these difficulties, walk away from the faith. Others, when pressed, concede that they do not have explanations but believe reasonable explanations exist, though they cannot articulate any.

Now there is a response to these claims. This book defends the divine inspiration of the Bible and demonstrates with clarity that the so-called “contradictions” of the Bible are not contradictions at all. A careful study of the Scriptures in their original context and in light of the nuances in which they were originally written vindicates the Bible from claims of errancy.
