revisiting classical topics for example the Qur'an, hadith and
kalam using new lenses, as well as new subjects, such as lived
Islam and Islamic critiques of the West. Taken as a whole, the
collection provides new perspectives on the role and place of the
academic study of Islam in contemporary scholarship.

This book provides the first historical examination of the study of
religion in Canada. While secular departments of religious studies
would not emerge in Canada until the late 1960s, the teaching of
religion under the guise of divinity, theology, the Bible, and
moral philosophy has been omnipresent for much of the country's
history. The gradual transformation from the teaching of religious
truths at denominational theological colleges to the
non-denominational and secular study of religion at universities
was a lengthy and complicated one. From Seminary to University
examines this transformation against a much broader backdrop. It is
not simply the history of individual departments scattered across
the nation. Instead, the story reveals the many non-academic forces
that made those departments possible, such as the creation of the
United Church of Canada, the adoption of multiculturalism, and the
introduction of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In recounting
this transformation, From Seminary to University illuminates an
important part of Canadian history.
