Asks why Islamic Modernism took the shape it did and why it emerged
when it didThis book studies the complex relationship of religion
to modernity. Monica M. Ringer argues that modernity should be
understood as the consequence, not the cause, of the new
intellectual landscape of the 19th century. Using the lens of
Islamic Modernism, she uncovers the underlying epistemology and
methodology of historicism that penetrated the Middle East and
South Asia in this period, both forcing and enabling a
recalibration of the definition, nature, function and place of
religion. And she shows that Muslim Modernists, like their
counterparts in other religious traditions, engaged in a
sophisticated project of theological reform designed to marry their
twin commitments to religion and to modernity they were in
conversation not only with European scholarship and Catholic
Modernism but, more importantly, with their own complex Islamic
traditions.
