Product Description
Review
No student can overlook or ignore these contributions, in fact, students have a lot to gain from them...
"-Arab Studies Journal"
Product Description
This book brings together the ideas of a number of contemporary modernist and liberal Muslim thinkers, exposing an important intellectual current in Islamic thought which will be new to many Western readers. Responding to the challenges brought by colonialism and modernisation, the contributors propose new conceptions and interpretations of Islam consonant with the age. Although their specific concerns and emphases vary, their thought shares certain features: a reconsideration of the relation between religion and politics; an easy incorporation of modern Western ideas; a reinterpretation of sacred sources which highlights their more universalistic elements; and a conception of Islam as moving with historical change whilst remaining rooted in Quranic values. Disputing the widespread view of modern Islam as essentially political, the book shows a quite different face of the tradition.
