"A stimulating and original approach to understanding Islam. The contributions by a distinguished roster of scholars provide a fresh look at topics of enduring importance." * Carl Ernst - William R. Kenan, Jr., Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies, University of Nort * "Excellent... beautifully framed by its editor. Students and scholars will appreciate the work's methodological sophistication, the thoughtfulness of each treatment, and the consistent clarity of presentation." * Susan Niditch - Samuel Green Professor of Religion, Amherst College * "Jamal Elias and his collaborators have produced an introduction to Islam that both beginners and specialists will find original and stimulating. . . . The entries feel like conversations with learned interlocutors whose comments one is privileged to hear." * Barbara Metcalf * "Superb. An indispensable source for introductory, advanced, and comparative courses involving Islamic religious tradition and culture." * Suleiman Mourad * "An unusually satisfying book. Rather than replicating the standard structure of introductory works in Islamic studies, Jamal Elias has gathered a group of outstanding scholars and asked them to think freshly and provocatively about the categories that frame our understanding and interpretation of Islam." * Jane McAuliffe - President of Bryn Mawr College *More details
