راه‌های نوین به سوی اسلام معاصر: روندهای جدید در تعامل انتقادی

"'Pathways to Contemporary Islam : New Trends in Critical Engagement' highlights that the current tensions in Islam and the Muslim world are the result of historical dynamics as opposed to an alleged incompatibility between religious tradition and modernity. The emphasis on pathways indicates that critical engagement and contestation have always been intrinsic to the history of Islam. The aim of the book is to elaborate the contemporary pathways and analyse the trends that contest the Islamic intellectual tradition, the relationship between religion and politics, and the individual and collective practice of religion. The collection of essays analyses the current efforts of critical re-engagement with the Islamic intellectual tradition and underlines the historical diversity of Islamic orthodoxies that led to the establishment of various pathways in the practice and role of religion in Muslim societies."-- back cover Dedication 6 Table of Contents 8 Acknowledgements 12 Introduction: Constructing Pathways to Contemporary Islam • Mohamad Nawab 14 Section 1: Historical Trends in Contemporary Perspective 26 1.

This volume approaches three key concepts in Roman history - gender, memory and identity - and demonstrates the significance of their interaction in all social levels and during all periods of Imperial Rome. When societies, as well as individuals, form their identities, remembrance and references to the past play a significant role.

This book highlights that the current tensions in Islam and the Muslim world are the result of historical dynamics as opposed to an alleged incompatibility between religious tradition and modernity.
