Preaching has been central to Muslim communities throughout the
centuries. The liturgical Friday sermon is a prime example,
although other genres that are less commonly known also serve
important functions. This book addresses the ways in which Muslims
relate various forms of religious oratory to authoritative
tradition in 21st-century Islamic practice, while striving to adapt
to local contexts and the changing circumstances of politics, media
and society. This is the first book of its kind to look at
homiletics beyond a specific country focus. Taking into
consideration the historical developments of Muslim preaching, it
offers a collection of thoroughly contextualised case studies of
oratory in Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bosnia, Sweden and the USA.
The analyses presented here show shared emphasis on struggles for
legitimacy, efforts to speak authoritatively, as well as discursive
opportunities and constraints.
