Christians at Mecca is a collection of narratives summarizing the journeys undertaken by 16 European travelers to the Muslim holy city, starting with Ludovico di Varthema, who visited in 1503, and ending with Jules Gervais-Courtellemont, who visited in 1894. The list also includes Vincent Le Blanc (1568), Johann Wild (1607), Joseph Pitts (1680), Domingo Badia y Leblich (also called Ali Bey, 1807), Ulrich Jasper Seetzen (1809-10), Johann Ludwig Burckhardt (1814-15), Giovanni Finati (1814), Léon Roches (1841-42), Georg August Wallin (1845), Sir Richard Burton (1853), Heinrich, Freiherr von Maltzan (1860), Herman Bicknell (1862), John Fryer Keane (1877-78), and Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje (1885). Accounts of the exploration of Arabia and Islam's "forbidden cities" became a genre that aroused considerable interest in Europe, especially during the 19th century. Christians at Mecca is a particularly useful volume, in that it summarizes and compiles nearly all such accounts in one work. The author, Augustus Ralli, wrote in the brief preface that he intended to "give a narrative of each pilgrim's adventures, and a summary of his observation of the people of Mecca and the condition of the city." Little is known about Ralli. It is unclear if he was related to the London-based Ralli Brothers, a successful Victorian-era merchant family of Greek origins. A scholar by the same name was born in London in 1875 and died in Bath in southwest England in 1954 and is thought to have written a number of books including Guide to Carlyle and A History of Shakespearian Criticism.

Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ...its part. If it did not buy the consciences of the Ulemas, it at least moderated their fanaticism. The Fettoua was written on a long roll of thick glazed paper, and it concluded thus: --"When a Mussulman people whose country has been invaded by infidels, has fought them as long as there is hope of driving them out, and when it is certain that the continuance of war can only bring misery, ruin, and death for the Mussulmans, with no chance of conquering the infidels--this people, while cherishing the hope of shaking off the yoke with the help of God, may elect to live under their rule, on the express condition that they may retain the free practice of their religion, and that their wives and daughters will be respected." Roches was informed that this document would have a tenfold greater influence if approved by the Ulemas of the great Universities of the East. It was the first premonition of his journey to Mecca. From Kairouan he proceeded to Malta. There he met Prosper Merimee, and to this meeting he ultimately owed his salvation. Merimde gave him a letter of introduction to his cousin Fulgence Fresnel, French Consul at Jeddah, but then at Cairo. Fresnel was a great Orientalist of the school of Sylvestre de Sacy, the most consummate master of the Arabic language and literature of his own or perhaps any age. His books written in Arabic had been adopted in the most celebrated Eastern Universities. He had devoted forty years, he said, to the study, and it would require another forty to attain perfect knowledge: that is, the power of assimilating at first sight the works of poets and writers of all times. Fresnel had been one of his most distinguished pupils; but for the present purpose it is more important to' record that he was a...

Excerpt from Christians at Mecca MY object in the following pages has been to give a narrative of each pilgrim's adventures, and a summary of his observations of the people of Mecca and the condition of the city. These are the things that change from age to age. What do not change are the rites of the Pil grimage and the appearance of the Great Mosque. Having, therefore, described these in the opening chapters, I have omitted, in the case of each individual traveller, all but personal and charac teristic touches.

This book on Islam has an unusual perspective. It argues that a critically minded examination of Islam can help Christians achieve a deeper appreciation of the unique truths of their own faith. It draws on the author’s personal experiences living in Islamic countries and his fieldwork with persecuted Christian-minority communities, especially in Pakistan, Yemen, Egypt, and Indonesia. It includes the author’s own original translations of Islamic texts in Arabic, Persian, and Urdu, as well as primary-source materials in Latin that were written by Christian participants in the Crusades. The author focuses on Muslim interactions with the Christian tradition. He examines and takes issue with the misguided approach of those Christians and Muslims who, in the interests of Christian-Muslim rapprochement, minimize theological differences between the two faiths, especially in the area of Christology. Such attempts at rapport, he writes, do a profound disservice to both religions. Illustrating the Muslim view of Christ with Islamic polemical texts from the eleventh to the twenty-first centuries, the author draws on Hans Urs von Balthasar, and other theologians of kenotic Christology, to show how Islamic condemnations of divine "weakness" and "neediness" can deepen our appreciation of what is most uniquely Christian in our vision of Jesus as God-made-man, who voluntarily experiences weakness, suffering, and death in solidarity with all human beings. Both timely and urgently needed, The Crucifix on Mecca's Front Porch invites readers to reflect on the stark differences between Christianity and Islam and to appreciate the uniqueness of the Christian faith.

For the non-Muslim, Mecca is the most forbidden of Holy Cities--and yet, in many ways it is the best known. Muslim historians and geographers have studied it, and countless pilgrims and travelers--many of them European Christians in disguise--have left behind lively and well-publicized accounts of life in Mecca and its associated shrine-city of Medina, where the Prophet lies buried. The stories of all these figures, holy men and heathens alike, come together in this book to offer a remarkably revealing literary portrait of the city's traditions and urban life and of the surrounding area. Closely following the publication of F. E. Peters's The Hajj (Princeton, 1994), which describes the perilous pilgrimage itself from the travelers' perspectives, this collection of writings and commentary completes the historical travelogue. The accounts begin with the Muslims themselves, in the patriarchal age of Abraham and Ishmael, and trace the sometimes glorious and sometimes sad history of Islam's central shrine down to the last Grand Sharif of Mecca, Husayn ibn Ali, whose fragile kingdom was overtaken by the House of Sa`ud in 1926. Because of chronic flooding and constant rebuilding, there is little or no material evidence for the early history of Islam's holy cities. By assembling, analyzing, and fashioning these literary accounts of Mecca, however, Peters supplies us with a vivid sense of place and human interaction, much as he did in his widely acclaimed Jerusalem (Princeton, 1985). Originally published in 1994. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

ADULT CHRISTIAN MEN ONLY! (Please order this ONLY AFTER having read "God Becomes Man.") Our adversary in the Middle East is using their religion as a military ordnance. Our secular government cannot dabble in religious matters. But the Constitution does not protect hostile ordnance in a foreign war, so We the People are free to address the religious questions. What horrid conditions in ancient Mecca compelled Muhammad to act and to speak so vehemently while advancing a new faith, that today's Muslim thugs can reference him as their highest authority? Are they misrepresenting their Prophet to us and to their own people? If Muhammad were not so desperate to put a stop to the horrid situation in Mecca, would he have preferred to advance Christianity? In order to form alliances with the neighboring cities to conquer his own hometown and his own tribe, how did Muhammad have to compromise his own faith? Muhammad was desperately disgusted, and as you read this, you will know how he felt.
