Shadaab Rahemtulla considers the exegeses of the South African Farid Esack (b. 1956), the Indian Asghar Ali Engineer (1939-2013), the African American Amina Wadud (b. 1952), and the Pakistani-American Asma Barlas (b. 1950). The authors considered all proritise the Qur'an over the hadith. Rahemtulla considers this an essential move for a Muslim liberation theology and concludes with proposals with a new construal of what a politically radical Islam might mean, sharply differentitated from Islamism. This work provides a rich analysis of the thought-ways of specific Muslim intellectuals, it substantiates a broadly framed school of thought. Rahemtulla draws out their specific and general importance without displaying an uncritical sympathy. He sheds light on the impact of modern exegetical commentary which is more self-conciously concerned with historical context and present realities. In a mutally reinforcing way, this work thus illuminates both the role of agency and heremnetucal approaches in Modern Islamic thought. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Civil rights $x Islam. $x Islam. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009120220 650 0 $a Liberty $x Islam. $x Islam. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85051695 650 0 $a Islam and politics. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85068420 650 0 $a Liberation theology. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85076447 650 0 $a Islamic philosophy. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85100934 650 7 $a Civil rights $x Islam. $x Islam. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862675 650 7 $a Islam and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979879 650 7 $a Islamic philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01730358 650 7 $a Liberation theology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997211 650 7 $a Liberty $x Islam. $x Islam. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997273 830 0 $a Oxford theology and religion monographs. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2013059871 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213015929.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D189B00EE55311E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
