Over the course of his career, Bruce B. Lawrence has explored the
central elements of Islamicate civilization and Muslim networks.
This reader assembles more than two dozen of Lawrence's key
writings, among them analyses of premodern and modern Islamic
discourses, practices, and institutions and methodological
reflections on the contextual study of religion. Six methodologies
serve as the organizing rubric: theorizing Islam, revaluing Muslim
comparativists, translating Sufism, deconstructing religious
modernity, networking Muslims, and reflecting on the Divine.
Throughout, Lawrence attributes the resilience of Islam to its
cosmopolitan character and Muslims' engagement in cross-cultural
dialogue. Several essays also address the central role of
institutional Sufism in various phases and domains of Islamic
history. The volume concludes with Lawrence's reflections on
Islam's spiritual and aesthetic resources in the context of global
comity. Modeling what it means to study Islam beyond political and
disciplinary borders as well as a commitment to linking empathetic
imagination with critical reflection, this reader presents the
broad arc of Lawrence's prescient contributions to the study of
Islam.
