Engaging the Madrasa delves into the intellectual and political challenges that the Muslim scholarly community faces across the globe. The rapid developments of the modern age have given rise to complex theological and philosophical challenges for Muslim scholarly communities. To confront these questions, editors Ebrahim Moosa and Joshua Lupo have curated a collection of essays offering balanced and nuanced perspectives that amplify the richness of the Islamic traditions while avoiding both conservative nostalgia or progressive amnesia. Engaging the Madrasa grapples with the loss and reimagining of tradition in the modern world, bringing together madrasa scholars from India, Pakistan, and the United States to confront themes such as gender equality, the nation-state, colonial legacies, the role of technology, and more. In doing so, the contributors use both modern science and Islamic theological discourse to chart new pathways for Muslim scholars and theologians around the globe to draw on.
Industry Reviews
"The work of this volume opens vistas. Within its pages one finds an impressive array of perspectives dedicated to broadening the epistemic horizons of the contemporary madrasa context in dynamic and needed ways. Whether dealing with law and theology or science and pedagogy, each contributor guides us through their respective field of concern with erudition, sophistication, and care." - Martin Nguyen, author of Modern Muslim Theology "This marvelous volume details that work, helping us to better understand the complexities involved. It is that rare collection, filled not only with erudition, but also with hope." - Amir Hussain, author of One God and Two Religions
