Product Description

Is Islam incompatible with rational thought? This is the question at the heart of this challenging study by a leading scholar. Tracing the conflict between reason and religion right back to the disputes between medieval Islamic philosophers, the author examines every part of the debate, including such major themes as good, evil and the nature of divine will. In addition to providing a full survey of the debate between faith and reason, he also proposes an approach for taking reasoning beyond the traditional boundaries of textual interpretation, to a fully realized engagement with the divine.
