Informed by research taken from lived religion, each chapter looks at Islam in a modern context, and explores issues relevant to the religion today. After an initial chapter providing an overview of the Islamic faith, its history and basic theological tenets, Ron Geaves moves through key contemporary themes: Islam and diversity, ethics and morality, gender, fundamentalism, and the relationship between Islam and the West. Concluding with a final section looking at the future for Islam, its relevance in modern times, the future for the religion in question and what it can contribute to society in terms of inter-religious dialogue and harmony between different communities."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aReligion today (London, England) 606 $aIslam$xEssence, genius, nature 606 $aIslam$y21st century 606 $aIslamic renewal 606 $2Islam 615 0$aIslam$xEssence, genius, nature. 615 0$aIslam 615 0$aIslamic renewal. 676 $a297 700 $aGeaves$b Ron$01503685 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785228403321 996 $aIslam today$93732253 997 $aUNINA
