Thomas Jefferson's Qur'an

Islam and the Founders

By: Denise Spellberg

In this original and illuminating book, Denise A. Spellberg reveals a little-known but crucial dimension of the story of American religious freedom—a drama in which Islam played a surprising role. In 1765, eleven years before composing the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson bought a Qur’an. This marked only the beginning of his lifelong interest in Islam, and he would go on to acquire numerous books on Middle Eastern languages, history, and travel, taking extensive notes on Islam as it relates to English common law. Jefferson sought to understand Islam notwithstanding his personal disdain for the faith, a sentiment prevalent among his Protestant contemporaries in England and America. But unlike most of them, by 1776 Jefferson could imagine Muslims as future citizens of his new country. Based on groundbreaking research, Spellberg compellingly recounts how a handful of the Founders, Jefferson foremost among them, drew upon Enlightenment ideas about the toleration of Muslims (then deemed the ultimate outsiders in Western society) to fashion out of what had been a purely speculative debate a practical foundation for governance in America. In this way, Muslims, who were not even known to exist in the colonies, became the imaginary outer limit for an unprecedented, uniquely American religious pluralism that would also encompass the actual despised minorities of Jews and Catholics. The rancorous public dispute concerning the inclusion of Muslims, for which principle Jefferson’s political foes would vilify him to the end of his life, thus became decisive in the Founders’ ultimate judgment not to establish a Protestant nation, as they might well have done. As popular suspicions about Islam persist and the numbers of American Muslim citizenry grow into the millions, Spellberg’s revelatory understanding of this radical notion of the Founders is more urgent than ever. Thomas Jefferson’s Qur’an is a timely look at the ideals that existed at our country’s creation, and their fundamental implications for our present and future.

Kontroversi Al-Quran Thomas Jefferson

By: Denise A. Spellberg

Pada 1765, sebelas tahun menjelang Deklarasi Kemerdekaan Amerika Serikat (AS), Thomas Jefferson membeli al-Quran. Rupanya, ini hanya menandai awal dari minatnya yang panjang terhadap Islam. Memang, setelah itu ia terus mencari sejumlah buku tentang bahasa, sejarah, dan perkembangan Timur Tengah. Jefferson pun intensif memahami Islam meskipun hal itu dinilai menghina keimanannya, sebuah sentimen umum yang berlaku di kalangan Protestan kala itu di Inggris dan Amerika. Syah dan, sejak 1776, Jefferson telah membayangkan kaum Muslim sebagai warga Negara masa depan bagi negeri barunya, AS. Buku ini mengungkapkan cerita penting yang sedikit diketahui ihwal riwayat kebebasan agama di AS; sebuah drama di mana Islam memainkan peran mengejutkan. Denise A. Spellberg menceritakan bagaimana para Pendiri Amerika Serikat—Jefferson termasuk yang terkemuka di antaranya—tertarik pada ide-ide Pencerahan perihal toleransi Muslim untuk menciptakan landasan praktis pemerintahan Amerika yang tengah sengit diperdebatkan. Dalam hal ini, kaum Muslim, yang kala itu bahkan tak diketahui eksistensinya di koloni itu, menjadi batas imajinasi terjauh bagi pluralisme keagamaan Amerika, yang juga mencakup kaum Yahudi dan Katolik sebagai minoritas sebenarnya. Kini, selagi kecurigaan Barat terhadap Islam terus hidup dan jumlah warga Muslim di AS kian tumbuh menjadi jutaan, cerita Spellberg yang mengungkap gagasan revolusioner para Pendiri AS ini sangat penting diketahui. Di tengah menguatnya keyakinan ihwal benturan peradaban antara Islam dan Barat, buku ini menjadi bacaan yang tepat untuk merajut kembali harapan akan perdamaian dunia.

The Lively Experiment

Religious Toleration in America from Roger Williams to the Present

By: Chris Beneke,Christopher S. Grenda

Beginning with the legacy of Roger Williams, who in 1633 founded the first colony not restricted to people of one faith, The Lively Experiment chronicles how Americans have continually demolished traditional prejudices while at the same time erecting new walls between belief systems. The chapters gathered here reveal how Americans are sensitively attuned to irony and contradiction, to unanticipated eruptions of bigotry and unheralded acts of decency, and to the disruption caused by new movements and the reassurance supplied by old divisions. The authors examine the way ethnicity, race, and imperialism have been woven into the fabric of interreligious relations and highlight how currents of tolerance and intolerance have rippled in multiple directions. Nearly four hundred years after Roger Williams' Rhode Island colony, the "lively experiment" of religious tolerance remains a core tenet of the American way of life. This volume honors this boisterous tradition by offering the first comprehensive account of America’s vibrant and often tumultuous history of interreligious relations.
