Opis

This examination of modern Islamic anthropology provides an account of the human being in various significant strands of Islamic religious thought.

Recenzje

"Being Human in Islam is a solid and rich piece of scholarship, a critical guide that will be profitably read by specialist scholars and (perhaps with some effort) students or laypeople alike. Howard’s work not only does justice to the richness and nuances of the debate over religion and evolution per se but, more importantly, to the richness of Muslim positions in this arena. In so doing, it sets the stage for the further exploration of common ground between Christianity and Islam."
Stefano Bigliardi, Centre for Middle Eastern Studies, Lund University, Sweden
