This book attempts to equip the reader with a holistic and
accessible account of Islam and evolution. It guides the reader
through the different variables that have played a part in the
ongoing dialogue between Muslim creationists and evolutionists.
This work views the discussion through the lens of al-Ghazali
(1058-1111), a widely-known and well-respected Islamic intellectual
from the medieval period. By understanding al-Ghazali as an
Ash'arite theologian, a particular strand of Sunni theology, his
metaphysical and hermeneutic ideas are taken to explore if and how
much Neo-Darwinian evolution can be accepted. It is shown that his
ideas can be used to reach an alignment between Islam and
Neo-Darwinian evolution. This book offers a detailed examination
that seeks to offer clarity if not agreement in the midst of an
intense intellectual conflict and polarity amongst Muslims. As
such, it will be of great interest to scholars of Science and
Religion, Theology, Philosophy of Religion, Islamic Studies, and
Religious Studies more generally. *Winner of the International
