Sommario/riassunto

This book tackles the most significant issues facing Muslims today. Sachedina argues that we must reopen the doors of religious



interpretation--to correct false interpretations, replace outdated laws, and formulate new doctrines. His book critically analyzes Muslim teachings on such issues as pluralism, civil society, war and peace, and violence and self-sacrifice.
