Bøger af Daniel Alan Brubaker

"Brilliant. Eine einzigartige und wertvolle Arbeitshilfe." -- Mark Durie, Melbourne School of Theology "Brubaker hat hier eine hilfreiche Einführung in den Korpus seiner Forschungen zu Korrekturen in Koranhandschriften gegeben, die nun einer breiteren Gruppe von Gelehrten als Referenz dienen kann, die die Konturen der frühen Überlieferungsgeschichte des Korans untersuchen." -- Asma Hilali, Universität Lille "Lange Zeit wurde allgemein behauptet, dass die Manuskriptüberlieferung des Korans, anders als beispielsweise die des Neuen Testaments, makellos und perfekt sei, ohne dass auch nur eine Markierung fehl am Platze wäre, geschweige denn eine Abweichung, die ganze Wörter oder Phrasen betrifft. Brubakers faszinierende Studie zeigt, dass dies so nicht stimmt. Was der Autor in diesem kurzen Buch getan hat, ist, jahrelange Forschung zu destillieren und einer allgemeinen Leserschaft signifikante und interessante Beispiele von Schreibkorrekturen in einigen der frühesten Koranhandschriften zugänglich zu machen. Dieses Buch über Korrekturen in den Koranhandschriften liefert seine eigene Korrektur einer weit verbreiteten, aber fehlerhaften Ansicht über den Koran." -- Daniel B. Wallace, Executive Director, Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts "Es gibt eine wachsende Aktivität bei der Bearbeitung oder Präsentation früher Handschriften des Koran. [...] Es ist keine Übertreibung, dieses Stadium als die dritte Dimension der Geschichte des Korans zu bezeichnen. Einer der noch wenigen Pioniere auf diesem Gebiet ist Dan Brubaker, der die winzigen "Korrekturen" auf den alten Pergamenten entdeckt. [...] Der Ansatz von Dan Brubaker ist ebenso maßvoll wie wissenschaftlich fundiert [...]. Darüber hinaus [...] hat er einen Weg gefunden, den Leser durch ein höchst anspruchsvolles Thema zu führen, so dass Vertrautheit mit der arabischen Sprache nicht einmal notwendig ist, um seinen Argumenten zu folgen." -- Gerd-R. Puin, Universität des Saarlandes (im Ruhestand) DANIEL ALAN BRUBAKER, Ph.D. ist ein Forscher in der Geschichte des Korans, insbesondere seiner frühen Handschriftentradition, gesuchter Redner und sozialpolitischer Kommentator. Er lebt in Nord-Virginia.

The American Democratic Party is often presented as reasonable, rational, and fair. "Red Is Democrat" takes readers on a tour through the positions and principles of the Democratic Party to show how its current policies are a natural extension and adaptation of the party's long-held philosophical commitment to involuntary servitude, racism, and general injustice. Learn: Why it was Democrats and not Republicans who quickly embraced socialism as a way to get around the prohibition of involuntary servitude after Republicans gained the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th AmendmentsHow Democrats use the phrase "follow the science" to advance a deep authoritarianism lacking all interest in unbiased pursuit of knowledgeHow Democrats have redefined the word "justice" to mean its oppositeHow Democrats have many incentives to support policies that increase racism, violent crime, poverty, desperation, and destruction of lives by broken families and self-harm-even as they pretend to care, loudly accusing Republicans of being the "bad guys"...And much more"Red Is Democrat" invites readers to reassess the American political landscape and join in recommitment to the United States' best core moral affirmations, liberty and justice for all.

"It is not enough just to get the necessary number of votes if those votes were not received according to the law." (from the book, p. 347) What would it look like if the United States were no longer governed by the people? It might look a lot like the situation that exists today, argues Dr. Daniel Brubaker. And, with the 2024 presidential election nearly upon us, failure to address the problem will leave every American open to the whim of tyrants and autocrats. Soon after the events of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, which included the lightning-fast and bizarrely sweeping declaration by most information gatekeepers that the election had been "the most safe and secure in U.S. history," and that culminated in the January 20, 2021 inauguration of Joe Biden, postdoctoral researcher Daniel Brubaker took up the task of researching what had just happened in order to write a book that could be trusted as a full and faithful account from an informed citizen's perspective. Eighteen months later (and a mere three weeks before the looming end of the statutory period for preservation of materials and evidence from the 2020 election), the fruit of Dr. Brubaker's effort was published in the form of a book of some 500 pages and 800 footnotes. "By The People?" has been called "encyclopedic." While not the only important book so far published addressing the issues of the 2020 election, it is perhaps the most thorough in addressing the core constitutional problems, backed by mountains of data, synthesis of news and events, and the author's own discussion and analysis. And Brubaker's conclusions are careful, making his strong final assertion all the more compelling: "One fact that is now beyond doubt is that it cannot be confirmed that Joe Biden won the 2020 election. And, while it may or may not be now possible to state with scientific certainty that Donald Trump won, all the available evidence strongly recommends that conclusion. Indeed, the likelihood that Joe Biden was chosen by the people-that is, without resort to ballots that were illegally counted-approaches zero." (p. 362) PRAISE FOR BY THE PEOPLE?"Amazing-a huge work." -Daniel Lapin "A superbly comprehensive work which will serve as a permanent factual record for historians." -John Langlois, OBE "The most cogent, detailed, and thoughtful presentation of the facts and real issues surrounding the 2020 election that I have seen. I believe that most people simply do not understand so much of what Brubaker covers. Americans and others of all political persuasions will benefit from reading this book." -E.W. Jackson, President, S.T.A.N.D. Foundation>In April of 2021, a Rasmussen poll found that most voters, including many Democrats, believe it is "likely" that cheating affected the outcome. Yet, within a week of the election, at the very moment serious allegations of corruption were multiplying, media and Democrat partisan authorities suddenly announced that the 2020 election was the "most safe and secure in history." Veteran investigator and postdoctoral researcher Dr. Daniel A. Brubaker, turned his attention to these issues. This book is the result of that investigation. His findings should shock every American. If you want to know the truth of the 2020 election, this book is a must read. Further, By The People? will help you understand the real steps that must be taken to restore and protect fair, honest, and transparent elections for the benefit of everyone.

PRAISE FOR "CORRECTIONS IN EARLY QURʾĀN MANUSCRIPTS" "Brilliant. A unique and valuable resource." -- Mark Durie, Melbourne School of Theology "In Qur'anic research, the text has always been regarded as more or less comprehensible with the help of its Muslim exegetes. In a way, one could qualify the approach as one-dimensional, based on the latest interpretation of an ancient scripture. However, in recent years an increasing wave of Arabic Qur'an editions of different but equally valid Readings has been edited, opening a second dimension, a wide field of research opportunities on the range of scriptural and oral traditions which have led to those different Readings. In addition to these there is a growing activity in editing or presenting early manuscripts of the Qur'an, so that it is not an exaggeration to characterize this stadium as the third dimension of the Qur'an's history. One of the few remaining pioneers in this domain is Dan Brubaker, who discovers the minute 'corrections' on the old parchments, which he investigated in the main collections all over the world. He compares the corrections with the earlier versions underneath, and in his analyses of the different types of corrections he observes even the sensible and frequent "omission" of the word "Allah" in the lower text, or frequent corrections of "rizq" or the eschatological "sa'ah / hour" [...] Dan Brubaker's approach is as modest as it is scientifically sound [...]. In addition [...], he has found a way to lead the reader through a highly sophisticated topic, so that familiarity with Arabic is not even necessary to follow his arguments." -- Gerd-R. Puin, Universität des Saarlandes (retired) "It has long been popularly asserted that, in contrast to that of the New Testament, for example, the Qur'an's manuscript tradition is pristine and perfect, without ever a mark out of place, much less a variation involving whole words or phrases. Brubaker's fascinating study demonstrates that this is not quite so. What the author has done in this short book is to distill years of research, making accessible to a general readership significant and interesting examples of scribal corrections in some of the earliest Qur'an manuscripts. This book about corrections in handwritten copies of the Qur'an offers its own correction of a widespread but faulty view about the Qur'an." -- Daniel B. Wallace, Executive Director, Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts "With great enthusiasm Brubaker introduces the fascinating field of quranic text criticism to a general audience while never losing sight of the academic rigor required for such. No one has documented more corrections in Qurʾān manuscripts than Dr. Brubaker. Worth reading." -- Marijn van Putten, University of Leiden "Brubaker has here given a helpful introduction to the body of his research on corrections in Qur'an manuscripts, which is now serving as a reference to a wider group of scholars studying the contours of the Qur'an's early transmission history. " -- Asma Hilali, University of Lille Brubaker has surveyed some 10,000 pages of early Quran manuscripts, documenting post-production physical corrections. To date, he has noted and described thousands, with various causes including (but not limited to) simple scribal error. Brubaker is working on several academic books, but has found the subject is also of interest to non-academic readers. "Corrections in Early Qurʾān Manuscripts: Twenty Examples" is an introduction to the range of the phenomenon, written to be accessible to non-specialists. In it, he selects a group of corrections from a variety of early Quran manuscripts of this early period. For each example, he shows a picture and gives a brief description, followed by a diagram showing the correction in relation to a modern standard edition of the Quran.
