For scholars and critics, the issue of what constitutes or defines 'Islam' - whether examining the history of the religion, its specific traditions, sectarian politics, or acts of terrorist - is central to any understanding of issues, cultures and ideas. 'Defining Islam' brings together key classic and contemporary writings on the nature of Islam to provide student readers with the ideal collection of both primary and critical sources. 410 0$aCritical categories in the study of religion. 606 $aIslam$xEssence, genius, nature 606 $aIslam$y21st century 606 $aIslam$xDoctrines 615 0$aIslam$xEssence, genius, nature. 615 0$aIslam 615 0$aIslam$xDoctrines. 676 $a297 701 $aRippin$b Andrew$f1950-$0739947 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959449803321 996 $aDefining Islam$94477908 997 $aUNINA
