Islam in Sudan : identity, citizenship and conflictO'Mahony, Geraldine Maria. January 2006 (has links)
This thesis will examine the role of Islamist political parties and what effect their interpretation of national identity has played in dividing the people of Sudan, resulting in two civil wars. It will examine the manifestations and interpretations of Islam and pan-Arabism among the various Islamist parties of Northern Sudan, exploring the ethnic and religious factors which influence Islamist political groups, as well as their social bases which are tied to economics, language, and the conception of a distinctly "Arab" or "African" culture. This thesis will argue that the predominance of these Islamist political parties in the Sudanese government combined with the lack of a Sudanese identity and historical factors have combined to prevent the consolidation of state power, leading to situations of protracted conflict. The imposition, or attempted imposition, of an Islamic identity on the state as a whole prevents unity as it necessarily excludes certain parts of the population as well as disenfranchising those who, whilst they might be Muslim, do not subscribe to the same interpretation of Islamic identity.

Contextualization and folk Islam : a case study in the SudanHadaway, Robin Dale 11 1900 (has links)
Estimates suggest that seventy percent of Muslims follow
folk Islam (popular Islam), rather than the orthodox Islamic
faith. Most methods for reaching Muslims with the
Gospel have concentrated on one of two broad approaches
with a third blending the first two methods.
Apologetic, polemic and dialogue techniques argue
that Christianity is more valid or reasonable than Islam.
Other approaches consist of contextualized methods seeking
some common ground between Christianity and Islam.
Apologetic arguments have not been very effective
with folk Muslims because cognitive propositions fail to
answer the “why” questions posed by popular Islam. Most
contextualized methods also miss the mark with folk Muslims;
they rarely attend Islamic worship, observe the
five pillars of Islam, or read the Qur’an. A few missiologists
propose a fourth category for reaching Muslims –
contextualizing according to their worldview.
This thesis explores what are the best approaches
for evangelizing folk Muslims who are particularly influenced
by African Traditional Religion (ATR). The Beja
tribe of the Sudan and the Sukuma tribe of Tanzania serve
as case studies. I argue for a contextualized approach to
folk Muslims, addressing their unique worldviews. ATRinfluenced
folk Muslims lean toward a fear-power
worldview, while the Sufis among them hold to an existential-
transcendent worldview. Each group, therefore,
necessitates a different evangelism approach.
The first chapter presents preliminary matters, the
research question, a literature review, and a rationale
for the thesis. The second chapter analyzes the case
study example of Beja folk Islam. Chapter three examines
folk Islam and its relationship to orthodox Islam,including further illustrations from the Beja tribe. The
fourth chapter explores the subject of ATR and its relationship
to folk Islam. The Sukuma tribe of Tanzania
serves as a base-line model of ATR for a comparison with
Beja folk Islam. Chapter five introduces the topic of
contextualization in Muslim evangelization and assesses
the effectiveness and validity of methods that have been
used. Chapter six suggests worldview approaches for
reaching ATR and Sufi-influenced folk Muslims. The final
chapter summarizes the thesis content, reviews the response
to the research question, and analyzes the implications
of the findings of the case study. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / D.Th. (Missiology)

Conversions from Islam to Christianity in the SudanStraehler, Reinhold 30 November 2005 (has links)
This research project focuses on conversions from Islam to Christianity in the Sudan. It first
gives a biblical and theological understanding of conversion and then introduces the sociological
and psychological understanding of such a change in religious affiliation. It discusses conversion
as a spiritual decision process and develops a spiritual decision matrix for evaluating conversion processes of Muslims. The heart of the study is an analysis of the conversion processes of six converts with a Northern Sudanese background from different Muslim tribes. The interviews that were conducted with these converts are analysed in terms of five parameters: reasons for conversion; factors that led to conversion; stages in the conversion processes; problems encountered during the conversion processes; and results of the conversion. These parameters are compared with existing data from six studies of Muslims in other geographical areas who also converted to the Christian faith. / Christian Spirituality Church History and Missiology / M.Th.

Eine multidimensionale Methodik zur Analyse von Bekehrungsmotiven = A multi-dimensional methodology for the analysis of conversion motivesRink, Tobias 28 February 2006 (has links)
Zusammenfassung
Das Forschungsprojekt untersucht Bekehrungsmotive von südsudanesischen Migranten, die in einem islamischen Kontext leben. Dazu wird zunächst das biblisch-theologische Bekeh¬rungsverständnis erhoben und im Kontext seiner kirchengeschichtlichen Entwicklung dar¬gestellt. Da jede Bekehrung ein multidimensionaler Prozess ist, der neben theologischen Fragestellungen auch soziologische, anthropologische und religionspsychologische Aspekte enthält, wird ein multidimensionaler Ansatz zur Erforschung von Bekehrungsmotiven konzipiert und ein Forschungswerkzeug erstellt, dass den Kontext südsudanesischer Migranten aufnimmt. Dieses kommt im Rahmen einer Pilotstudie zum Einsatz, die aus fünf Konvertiten-Interviews besteht. Zuerst wird der Inhalt jedes Interviews aus theologischer, soziologischer, religionspsychologischer und anthropologischer Sicht separat erhoben. Danach werden die unterschiedlichen Betrachtungsweisen in einen kritischen Dialog gebracht, um die Bekehrungsmotive zu bestimmen, welche den Kategorien kognitiv-religiös, mystisch-religiös, affektiv, experimentell oder sozial-politisch zugeordnet werden. Zum Schluss wird der Ertrag aller Interviews zu einem Gesamtergebnis verbunden und einer selbstkritischen Evaluierung unterzogen.
Summary
This dissertation examines conversion motives of Southern Sudanese migrants who live in an Islamic context. First of all a theological view of conversion in scripture and its development in the church history is presented. Since every conversion is a multi-dimensional process containing not only theological problems but also sociological, anthropological and religio¬psychlogical aspects, a multi-dimensional approach and a reseach methodology are designed for above context. This methodology is used for a pilot study of five interviews with converts. Each interview is examined separately from a theological, sociological, religio-psychological and anthropological analysis. After this the different views are brought into a critical dialog in order to identify the motives of conversion which are related to cognitive-religious, mystical¬religious, affective, experimental or social-political categories. The results of all individual interviews are merged in a final analysis and reflected in a self-critical evaluation. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M. Th. (Missiology)
