Description
Islam beyond Borders: A Reader presents a comprehensive collection of key writings by Bruce B. Lawrence, renowned scholar of Islamicate civilization and Muslim networks.
This volume brings together over two dozen essays that explore the central elements of Islamic discourse, practice, and institution, as well as methodological reflections on studying religion in its global context. The reader is organized around six methodologies that serve as the framework for understanding Islam's resilience and adaptability.
Through his work, Lawrence attributes the enduring nature of Islam to its cosmopolitan character and Muslims' engagement in cross-cultural dialogue. This collection offers a unique insight into the spiritual and aesthetic resources of Islam, and how they can inform our understanding of global comity.
