About the book
Engaging the Madrasa delves into the intellectual and political challenges that the Muslim scholarly community faces across the globe.
The rapid developments of the modern age have given rise to complex theological and philosophical challenges for Muslim scholarly communities. To confront these questions, editors Ebrahim Moosa and Joshua Lupo have curated a collection of essays offering balanced and nuanced perspectives that amplify the richness of the Islamic traditions while avoiding both conservative nostalgia or progressive amnesia.
Engaging the Madrasa grapples with the loss and reimagining of tradition in the modern world, bringing together madrasa scholars from India, Pakistan, and the United States to confront themes such as gender equality, the nation-state, colonial legacies, the role of technology, and more. In doing so, the contributors use both modern science and Islamic theological discourse to chart new pathways on which Muslim scholars and theologians around the globe can draw.
