Diuraikan secara detail mengenai motivasi penulisan, karakteristik dan sistematika, metode dan sumber penafsiran, serta corak dan kecenderungan penafsiran. Dilihat dari motivasi, kitab-kitab tafsir tersebut rata-rata ditulis atas dorongan kebutuhan masyarakat yang sangat mendesak agar tidak hanya membaca al-Qur’an semata, melainkan juga paham isinya. Oleh karenanya, di antara kitab-kitab tafsir tersebut, ada yang ditulis menggunakan bahasa Arab agar dipergunakan oleh kalangan santri yang sudah terbiasa dengan berbahasa Arab, ada yang ditulis menggunakan aksara pegon karena masyarakatnya tidak mampu membaca aksara Latin dan tidak paham bahasa Arab, ada yang ditulis dalam bahasa lokal dengan menggunakan aksara Latin karena publik pembacanya sudah terbiasa membaca huruf Latin, dan belakangan ditulis dengan bahasa Indonesia agar dapat menjangkau khalayak yang lebih luas. Menariknya, dari 14 kitab tafsir itu, rupanya memiliki karakter yang tidak sama: ada yang bercorak tradisionalis, dan ada pula yang bercorak modernis.

Ia mempunyai banyak karya di beberapa bidang, mulai tafsir, ilmu hadits, pendidikan, dan lain sebagainya. Setidaknya, ada 49 karya tulis berbahasa Indonesia dan 26 karya berbahasa Arab yang ia hasilkan selama hidupnya.

Said the Prophet of God

Hadith Commentary across a Millennium

Although scholars have long studied how Muslims authenticated and transmitted Muhammad’s sayings and practices (hadith), the story of how they interpreted and reinterpreted the meanings of hadith over the past millennium has yet to be told. Joel Blecher takes up this charge, illuminating the rich social and intellectual history of hadith commentary at three critical moments and locales: classical Andalusia, medieval Egypt, and modern India. Weaving together tales of public debates, high court rivalries, and colonial politics with analyses of ethnographic field notes and fine-grained arguments adorning the margins of manuscripts, Said the Prophet of God offers new avenues for the study of religion, history, anthropology, and law.

Worship with One Accord

Where Liturgy and Ecumenism Embrace

The historical course of Christianity in the twentieth century has been strongly marked by the Ecumenical Movement and the Liturgical Movement, and often these currents for the recovery of the Church's unity and the renewal of its worship have flowed together. In this new book, author Geoffrey Wainwright draws on his three decades of active participation in both movements to offer a theologically informed account of what has been at stake in them, what their achievements have been, and what tasks remain for them to accomplish. He shows how the two movements have engaged such issues as the authority and function of scripture and tradition as well as the nature of the Church and sacraments. In this last connection, Wainwright illuminates the convergence represented by the widely received Lima text on "Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry," in the writing of which he played a prominent part. The linguistic and anthropological turns that characterize twentieth-century thought are reflected in the attention given to the language and ritual of worship. The social location of the Church is addressed in chapters that look to liturgical practices for common Christian perspectives on ethics, politics, and culture, so that discords and conflicts may be resolved and reconciled. The book makes its own contribution to the symphony of praise to which the apostle Paul summons Christians and the churches when they will "with one mind and one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

The Arabic Influences on Early Modern Occult Philosophy

The Arabic Influences on Early Modern Occult Philosophy introduces Arabic medieval astrological and magical theories formulated mainly in The Great Introduction to the Judgements of the Stars by Abu Ma'shar al-Balkhi (787-886), De radiis by Ya'qub ibn Ishaq al-Kindi (801-873), and the Picatrix by Maslama al-Qurtubi (d. 964). Liana Saif investigates their influence on early modern occult philosophy, particularly the works of Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499), Pico della Mirandola (1463-1494), and John Dee (1527-c. 1608). The Arabic theories of astral influences provided a naturalistic explanation of astral influences and magical efficacy based on Aristotelian notions of causality. In addition, this book explores how this causality was reconciled with astrological hermeneutics, Neoplatonic emanationism, and Platonic eschatology, thus demonstrating the complexity of early modern occult philosophy and its syncretism.
