Islam and the Question of Reform

Volume 1

Herausgeber: Macqueen, Ben; Baxter, Kylie; Barlow, Rebecca

Beschreibung

The individuals and movements in Islam and the Question of Reform are determined to push aside existing political and social elites and the historically accepted interpretations of Islam and its place in society. The perspectives examined in this volume scrutinise the Islam's public role, often questioning the validity of dogmas that have acted as tools of empowerment for centuries.
