This comprehensive book aims to provide a holistic and accessible understanding of Islam and evolution, guiding readers through the ongoing dialogue between Muslim creationists and evolutionists. By examining the discussion through the lens of al-Ghazālī (1058-1111), a renowned Islamic intellectual from the medieval period, the work explores the potential for acceptance of Neo-Darwinian evolution within the framework of Asharite theology, a specific strand of Sunni theology.
Through a detailed examination, the book seeks to offer clarity and understanding amidst the intense intellectual conflict and polarization among Muslims. It will be of great interest to scholars in the fields of Science and Religion, Theology, Philosophy of Religion, Islamic Studies, and Religious Studies, as well as those with a broader interest in the intersection of science, religion, and culture.
Al-Ghazālī's ideas are utilized to demonstrate how they can be reconciled with Neo-Darwinian evolution, providing a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate within Islamic scholarship. The book's interdisciplinary approach and comprehensive coverage make it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of these complex topics.
In recognition of its academic excellence, this book has been awarded the International Society for Science & Religion (ISSR) book prize 2022 in the academic category. The award acknowledges the book's significant contribution to the field of Science and Religion and its potential to bridge gaps and promote understanding between different belief systems.
