Muhammad Rashid Rida is among the most influential Muslim thinkers of the modern period and yet, until now, his writings on Christian-Muslim relations have remained unpublished in English. In this flagship English edition, Simon A. Wood rights this wrong by translating and analysing one of his most important works, The Criticisms of the Christians and the Proofs of Islam. Contending that Rida's work cannot be separated from the period of colonial humiliation from which it originated, he challenges the view that Rida was a fundamentalist and argues that his response to Christian criticisms was, in fact, distinctly modernist.
Thirty years after the Iranian Revolution and more than a decade
since the events of 2001, the time is right to examine what the
discourse on fundamentalism has achieved and where it might head
from here. In this volume editors Simon A. Wood and David
Harrington Watt offer eleven interdisciplinary perspectives framed
by the debate between advocates and critics of the concept of
fundamentalism that investigate it with regard to Christianity,
Islam, and Judaism. The essays are integrated through engagement
with a common selection of texts on fundamentalism and a common set
of questions about the utility and disadvantages of the term, its
varied application by scholars of particular groups, and the extent
to which the term can encompass a cross-cultural set of religious
responses to modernity.
