This is an unusual book with an unusual purpose. Shabbir Akhtar is
an intelligent and erudite Muslim whose writings have attracted the
attention of Graham Greene and other English authors. In "A Faith
for All Seasons" he challenges his fellow Muslims to recognize that
they live in a secular world of religious pluralism; that they must
demonstrate to their critics that Islam is a progressive and
responsive faith. In the course of arguing for a more congenial
encounter with the modern world, Mr. Akhtar offers a remarkably
clear and concise explanation of Islam's basic religious tenets. He
discusses its rivalry with Christianity, Marxism, and secular
liberalism as ideologies that also claim the allegiance of modern
man. Censuring his co-religionists for the current intellectual
paralysis in Islamic circles, he shows how believers can cultivate
a reverent yet penetrating skepticism which teaches the ignorant,
disturbs the orthodox, and agitates the indifferent.
