Although often neglected in the literature on Islamic law,
contemporary Indonesia is an especially rich source of insight into
the diverse understandings and uses of the Islamic legal tradition
in the modern world. Indonesian Muslims are engaged in vibrant and
far-reaching debates over the terms, relevance, and developmental
limits of Islamic law, and Indonesia is home to a variety of
dynamic state and non-state institutional structures for the
generation and application of Islamic doctrine. The essays in this
volume provide focused examinations of the internal dynamics of
intellectual and institutional elements of Islamic law in modern
Indonesia in its recent formations. The first five chapters address
issues relating to Islamic legal theory, both its historical
development over the past century and analysis of the work of
specific groups of contemporary scholars, jurists, and activists.
The final seven chapters contain studies of more concrete
manifestations of Islamic law in modern Indonesia, including court
systems, positive law, the drafting of new "Islamic" legislation,
and contemporary debates over the implementation of the Shari'a.
Taken together these essays offer a series of substantive
introductions to important developments in both the theory and
practice of law in the world's most populous Muslim society.
