Shi'i Islam

Origins, Faith and Practices

In six concise clearly written chapters, the author provides a scholarly and well-documented introduction to the principle features of Shi'i Islam, an important school of Islamic thought which has gained increasing prominence in Western media in recent years. Beginning with an examination of the term Sh'i Islam -- stressing its occurrence in numerous traditions of the prophet so that the origins of Shi'ism can be regarded as coterminous with those of Islam itself -- the author then moves to a discussion of the textual and other sources of Shi'i thought: The qur'an, the Sunnah of the Prophet, the teachings of the infallible Imams from the Household of the Prophet, and the principles of reason and consensus as distinctively understood in Shi'ism. He follows with a review of the leading doctrines of Shi'i Islam, both those it holds in common with other Muslims and those that set it apart -- divine justice, the Imamate and the infallibility of the Imams. The devotional practices of Shi'i Islam are presented in turn, followed by a review of its general characteristics, with stress on both spirituality and rationality. Concluding with a demographic survey of Shi'i populations and brief notes on cities and sacred associations, the book is carefully argued, and can be recommended as a useful source of reference for all those interested in Islamic studies.

Kim: Empty Inside

The Diary of an Anonymous Teenager

I am so scared. I feel like I'm silently screaming for help and no one pays any attention of tries to hear me. I can't control anything anymore. It's all out to get me! When Kim can't handle things, she eats. Then she purges. Sometimes she fasts. She knows she isn't as thin as the other girls on her gymnastics team, and she's worried that now, away from home for the first time as a college freshman, she won't be able to live up to expectations -- especially her own. Eating is the one thing she can control -- or can she?

I am so scared.
