Making a radical departure from the recently
proliferating publications on Islam - journalist
exposes on terrorist intrigues and solemn
expositions on the clash of civilizations - renowned
Islamicist Carl Ernst offers in this book a sympathetic
yet reasoned and analytical view of the Islamic
religious tradition and the contemporary issues that
Muslims face. He introduces the reader to the
profound spiritual and intellectual resources of Islam
while clarifying debate and diversity within the
tradition. Writing from within the framework of
religious studies and the historical context he
describes how Protestant definitions of religion and
anti-Muslim prejudice have affected views of Islam in
Europe and America. He also discusses the
contemporary importance of Islam in both its
traditional settings and its new locations and
provides a context for understanding extremist
movements like fundamentalism. Ernst concludes
with an overview of critical debates on important
contemporary issues such as gender and veiling,
state politics, and science and religion. Revealing
the human face of Islam, this timely and important
volume aims at stimulating conversation between
Muslims and non-Muslims in a world that they have
commonly inherited.ISBN:9789380403120
