More about the book
The book explores the dynamic tensions within Muslim communities regarding the relationship between science and religion. It contrasts modernizing reformers, who advocate for the integration of technical knowledge and reinterpretation of traditional beliefs, with theological conservatives who challenge scientific principles that conflict with their worldview. Additionally, it discusses the rise of Islamists promoting a distinct non-western modernity and highlights the successes of conservatives in reconciling scientific and religious institutions without fully embracing secularization.
