This book encourages Muslima theologians to enter with humility and opennessÂinto the valuable terrain of feminist scholarship from different faith traditions. It demonstrates the value of comparative engagement as not only theologically meaningful, but also as a beautiful act of faith and deeper learning. For while risky and destabilizing, comparative engagement allows for new ways of self-understanding and creates bonds of solidarity across faith-based
feminist scholarship.
