Fowler1st ed.LeidenLeiden University Press20181 online resource (289)Debates on Islam and society94-006-0309-6 90-8728-301-6 Islam exists in global history with its richly variegated cultural and social realities. When these specific cultural contexts are marginalized, Islam is reduced to an ahistorical religion without the ability to contribute to humanity. This limited understanding of Islam has been a contributing factor in many of the violent conflicts in the present day. Reflecting on Islam in Indonesia, the world's third largest democracy, supporting the largest Muslim population, Ahmad Syafii Maarif argues for an understanding that is both faithful to Islam's essential teachings and open to constantly changing social and cultural contexts. Building on this, he then addresses critical contemporary issues such as democracy, human rights, religious freedom, the status of women, and the future of Islam. Through this book the breadth and depth of the ideas of one of Indonesia's foremost Muslim scholars are made accessible for English language readership.Debates on Islam and societyIslam and statefast(OCoLC)fst00979890Islam and social problemsfast(OCoLC)fst00979888Islam and politicsfast(OCoLC)fst00979879Islamfast(OCoLC)fst00979776Islam and social problemsIndonesiaHistoryIslam and politicsIndonesiaHistoryIslam and stateIndonesiaHistoryIslamIndonesia21st centuryIndonesiafastHistory.IslamIndonesiaHumanityDemocracyReligionIslam and state.Islam and social problems.Islam and politics.Islam.Islam and social problemsHistory.Islam and politicsHistory.Islam and stateHistory.IslamMaarif Ahmad Syafii1935-997954Fowler George A.MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910294540003321Islam, Humanity and the Indonesian Identity2288752UNINA
