Beschreibung

In The Renewal of Islam, Fitzroy Morrissey explores the evolution of modern Islam, from the nineteenth century to present day.

He tells the story of how Muslim thinkers have reinterpreted Islam to meet the challenges posed by the modern world, including Islamic thinking about gender, politics and history; the modern history of Sunni-Shi'i and Muslim-non-Muslim relations; and contemporary efforts to establish moderate and progressive forms of Islam in response to the rise of Salafi-jihadism. He shows how over the past few centuries, the insights of contemporary Muslim thinkers have developed - and in some cases transformed - the meaning of the faith.

Intellectual and engaging, The Renewal of Islam is an essential read from a leading author and historian on the Islamic world.
