Becoming a Muslim in Japan : The Journey of Faith and Identity /
:
What draws someone to Islam in a country where few people even know a Muslim? In Becoming a Muslim in Japan , you meet 62 Japanese converts whose journeys defy common assumptions. Their stories are not about crisis, but curiosity. They speak of unexpected encounters, moments of reflection, or quiet admiration that gradually deepened into faith. Based on immersive fieldwork and interviews, this book shows how Islam is not adapted in isolation but interwoven with Japanese values. If you are interested in religion, identity, or cultural transformation, this book offers rare access to spiritual lives shaped across boundaries - personal, cultural, and national.

West African 'ulamā' and Salafism in Mecca and Medina : jawab al-Ifrīqī-the response of the African /
:
Chanfi Ahmed shows how West African ʿulamāʾ, who fled the European colonization of their region to settle in Mecca and Medina, helped the regime of King Ibn Sa'ud at its beginnings in the field of teaching and spreading the Salafῑ-Wahhabῑ's Islam both inside and outside Saudi Arabia. This is against the widespread idea of considering the spread of the Salafῑ-Wahhābῑ doctrine as being the work of ʿulamāʾ from Najd (Central Arabia) only. We learn here that the diffusion of this doctrine after 1926 was much more the work of ʿulamāʾ from other parts of the Muslim World who had already acquired this doctrine and spread it in their countries by teaching and publishing books related to it. In addition Chanfi Ahmed demonstrates that concerning Islamic reform and mission (daʿwa), Africans are not just consumers, but also thinkers and designers.

Jewish philosophy for the twenty-first century : personal reflections /
:
Jewish Philosophy for the Twenty-First Century encourages contemporary Jewish thinkers to reflect on the meaning of Judaism in the modern world by connecting these reflections to their own personal biographies. In so doing, it reveals the complexity of Jewish thought in the present moment. The contributors reflect on a range of political, social, ethical, and educational challenges that face Jews and Judaism today and chart a path for the future. The results showcase how Jewish philosophy encompasses the methodologies and concerns of other fields such as political theory, intellectual history, theology, religious studies, anthropology, education, comparative literature, and cultural studies. By presenting how Jewish thinkers address contemporary challenges of Jewish existence, the volume makes a valuable contribution to the humanities as a whole, especially at a time when the humanities are increasingly under duress for being irrelevant.
