In this important new book, Khaled Abou El Fadl solidifies his well-earned reputation as a leading scholar and public voice on Islam by undertaking a bold and thorough exploration of the role of Islamic law and theology in the modern age. The author firmly situates Islam in the modern world and asks piercing questions about what it means to be Muslim. He stakes out a theological path to reclaim Shari'ah by drawing on deep historical knowledge and cross-cultural training, making this a fascinating read regardless of one's personal religious beliefs.--Joel A. Nichols, University of St. Thomas School of Law
