Text: French Introduction: Arabic, English

In-depth exploration of the life and thought of Louis Massignon (1883-1962), a very influential French Islamic scholar and Christian mystic. This is a translation of an original French by an expert on Massignon's life and works, revised and augmented.

Anticipating the vision of Nostra Aetate, Louis Massignon (1883-1962) imagined and worked toward a revolution in the relationship between Muslims and Christians, from one poisoned by fear and rivalry to one rooted in mutual understanding and fraternal correction. His lifelong study of the Qur'an, Muhammad, Arabic, Sufism, and the Muslim mystic and martyr al-Hallâj (858-922), who was executed by crucifixion for having publicly claimed union with God, grounded Massignon's conviction that there was a Christological nexus between the two religions. His founding of the Badaliya sodality with Mary Kahil (1889-1979) sought to bring Christians and Muslims together in prayer and substitutive love, and his writings and personal contacts helped to form the views of the men who would eventually draft the statements on Muslims at the Second Vatican Council. For all those reasons and more Massignon has been called "the single most influential figure [in the 20th century] in regard to the Church's relationship with Islam," and his approach has only become more important in the decades since his passing.In The Theology of Louis Massignon, author Christian Krokus argues that Massignon's achievements in Christian-Muslim understanding, his activism on behalf of Muslim immigrants, refugees, and Middle Eastern Christians, as well as his developing understanding of Islam must be understood in the light of his Catholic convictions in relation to God, Christ, and the Church. With ample references to primary works, many translated into English for the first time, Krokus offers a comprehensive account of the main points of Massignon's religious thought that will prove essential to theologians and historians working on questions of Christian-Muslim dialogue, comparative theology, and religious pluralism. As global tensions between Christians and Muslims rise, the learned, religious, and humanizing vision of Louis Massignon is urgently needed.

"Présenté comme thèse de doctorat à l´université de Paris, Exégèse coranique et langage mystique reprend l´étude des origines du langage mystique"" musulman là où l´avait laissée Louis Massignon. Si ce langage procède du Coran, il importait de revenir à l´exégèse coranique pour montrer comment se conjuguent dans une même œuvre l´herméneutique du Livre et l´interprétation de l´expérience spirituelle. Le langage nouveau auquel donne naissance le mouvement soufi est, en effet, le fruit de la rencontre de ces deux exégèses. L´auteur présente ici les grands moments de cette rencontre, depuis le Tafsir de Muqâtil Ibn Sulayman jusqu´aux récits visionnaires de Niffari chez qui le langage mystique atteint la forme parfaite du symbole, tandis que l´analyse de l´expérience mystique trouve dans l´œuvre de Harrâz une expression qui prépare et annonce les analyses de Hallâg."

Idioma/Language: Español. Ésta es la más significativa obra de Massignon, en la que se muestran nuevas formas de circulación del saber entre las ciencias y el clamor de lo humillado, y mediante un lenguaje que horada el puramente instrumental hasta la «palabra dada» al hombre desde sus más inviolables impulsos de libertad y justicia; como el hilo de una melodía de esperanzas por entre el cronograma del dolor, la dominación y el encierro cósmico del hombre. «Palabra dada» al «Extranjero» que transmuta los deseos de poseedor en pobreza y entrega al don de la vida. Componen las cinco partes del libro los pasos de una «quête» espiritual entrelazada con todas las sabidurías, en un «estructuralismo espiritual» que hace de la ciencia un lugar hospitalario interdisciplinar, donde cita un entramado de causas materiales, políticas, éticas, y redes imaginales de mitos, creencias y arquetipos de lo sagrado, y como parte de la palabra con la que el hombre puede responder a las demandas que le hace el amor. Que en este libro se incendia a través de su geografía espiritual; por la historia de las compasiones; la resistencia no violenta a la injusticia; en el «manto de fuego de Abraham», donde dialogan las tres culturas bajo ese manto; recorriendo saberes matemáticos, lingüísticos, sobre el tiempo, la historia y el arte árabes, pero también de las culturas javanesa, hindú o japonesa, y en realidad en «horadaciones» hacia la palabra dada universalmente al hombre. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Abridged from the four-volume The Passion of al-Hallaj, one of the major works of Western orientalism, this book explores the life and teaching of a famous tenth-century Sufi mystic and martyr, and in so doing describes not only his experience but also the whole milieu of early Islamic civilization. Louis Massignon (1883-1962), France's most celebrated Islamic specialist in this century and a leading Catholic intellectual, wrote of a man who was for him a personal inspiration. From reviews of the four-volume translation:

Los seis textos de Massignon que recogen este volumen componen un significativo extracto del método, la escritura y la temática del pensamiento del autor. Se ha elegido como título para esta edición el de Ciencia de la compasión, pues ése fue el nombre preciso que Massignon dio a su propio quehacer teórico que, además, siem
