Following Muhammad: Rethinking Islam in the Contemporary World (Islamic Civilization and Muslim Networks)by Carl W. Ernst
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Avoiding the traps of sensational political expose and specialized scholarly Orientalism, Carl Ernst introduces readers to the profound spiritual resources of Islam while clarifying diversity and debate within the tradition. Framing his argument in terms of religious studies, Ernst describes how Protestant definitions of religion and anti-Muslim prejudice have affected views of Islam in Europe and America. He also covers the contemporary importance of Islam in both its traditional settings and its new locations and provides a context for understanding extremist movements like fundamentalism. He concludes with an overview of critical debates on important contemporary issues such as gender and veiling, state politics, and science and religion. Review:"A rare mix of clear writing and careful scholarship makes this an important purchase for any Islamic studies collection. (Booklist)" Review:"An invaluable resource for this pivotal moment in our increasingly interdependent world community. (Charles Kimball, author of When Religion Becomes Evil)" Review:"A pleasure to read. Ernst has a multilayered and self-assured understanding of Islam. (Publishers Weekly)" Synopsis:"Following Muhammad" is a major contribution that explains the faith practiced by the more than one billion Muslims throughout the world. Departing from the usual Arab-centric bias, Ernst addresses Euro-Americans and illuminates the diversity of Muslim societies and thought.
