Each essay includes helpful suggestions for further reading. This book opens the way to a new inquiry: Shari'a as the linking of divine will and human good. It makes for excellent reading and thinking ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. * CHOICE * Successfully [conjoins] the rich, sometimes turbulent, development of Islamic history, juristic tradition, philosophy and Islamic thought in an accessible and excellent manner, notwithstanding the different specialties/approaches of the authors ... I would recommend this collection to other students and specialists in the humanities and social sciences, and for the general reader to gain insight into the prospective role and application of the Shari'ah in the modern world. * The Muslim World Book Review *
