Lights from Sinai – Traditional Response to Modern World

Lights from Sinai

It seeks to engage with modernity in terms of rational, spiritual, moral, religious and aesthetic denominations inherited from tradition. This book places not only religion and spirituality in proper academic orbit, but more importantly retraces the intrusion of modernism in other common day facets of human life, and wakes the reader up to the dangers thereof. In an era of growing alienation and intellectual discontent, the book aims to help its readers in regaining their confidence on the worldview that tradition has bestowed us with.
