Islam, Peace and Social Justice examines the ways in which Islamic
cultures have dealt with issues of social justice historically and
culturally. With unwavering objectivity, the author helps readers
of any faith to gain a nuanced and accurate understanding of the
challenges that we face in contemporary multifaith engagements. Dr
van Gorder offers a comprehensive and sympathetic Christian insight
into Islam. The contentious issues of social justice that are
encountered in this broad, yet intricate, study include the concept
of Jihad, poverty, political oppression, human rights, genocide,
racism, sexual injustice, homophobia, and environmental
degradation. The challenges are real and the problems are vast;
partnerships and solutions must be found - people of faith, Muslim,
Jewish and Christian, must find ways to work together to address
these shared challenges. This work exposes misrepresentations and
stereotypes about Islamic views of social justice that abound in
Europe and North America. The author encourages a deeper
appreciation of how themes of social justice resound through
Islamic texts and have been expressed both in the contemporary and
historical life of various and diverse Islamic communities
worldwide.
