audiobook Bound to Sin: Abuse; Holocaust and the Christian Doctrine of Sin (Cambridge Studies in Christian Doctrine) by Alistair McFadyen in History

Description

By analyzing a wide range of Arab and Persian literature; Louise Marlow demonstrates that Islam's initial orientation was markedly egalitarian; but the social aspect of this egalitarianism was soon undermined in the aftermath of Islam's political success. Although the memory of its early promise never entirely receded; social egalitarianism was soon associated with political subversion. The originality and chronological scope of Louise Marlow's book will ensure a wide readership of Islamic historians and of scholars assessing the impact of the recent Islamic revival.
