Getting Published in the Arab World!

[Para308]

Well, my book is going to be at a book fair in the Arab world. They finally got it translated into Arabic, edited and now published. It was a group effort among Saudi Arabia (the legal firm), the Egyptians, and the publishers in Beirut, Lebanon!
I don't know if I will become the voice of reason, but if they are listening, maybe I can do something other than promote violence and hatred. I can always try.

[Para308]

Well I don't have the 10 free copies they are supposed to be sending me as per our contract yet so I don't know how the title has been translated.  The topic is based off of my master's thesis which is how both the European Roman Catholic and the Sunni Muslim traditions of the the 14th century used Aristotle's "Posterior Analytics" (scientific or logical demonstration) and the idea of certainty in the understanding of divine revelation.  The two men I compared were Gregory of Rimini, an Augustinian Prior General and Ibn Taymiyya, Taqi ad Din of Damascus, Syria a Hanbali Jurist Consult.  The Saudi Wahabbis consider Ibn Taymiyya very important hence their interest in publishing my heavily revised thesis.  It was almost a different work.  I wanted to make some things much clearer.  Oh well, lets see how it goes. 

 

To the Islamic Sunni tradition, logical demonstration was called "al burhan" and to the European Catholic Latin tradition it was called "demonstratio."

 

It took me four years including languages like Classical Greek, Ecclesiastical Latin, and Medieval Arabic.  When I was done my head hurt and I have been recovering since then!
