An important work of contemporary Islamic thought argues against
the programmatic use of Islamic religious texts to support
fundamentalist beliefs First published in Arabic in 1994,
progressive Muslim scholar Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd's controversial
essay argued that conventional fundamentalist interpretations of
the Quran and other Islamic religious texts are ahistorical and
misleading. Conservative religious leaders accused him of apostasy.
Marking the first time a work by Abu Zayd is available in its
entirety in any Western language, this English edition makes his
erudite interpretation of classical Islamic thought accessible to a
wider audience at a critical historical moment.
