The essays in Islamic Ecumene delve into the fascinating tapestry of Muslim cultures, spanning from Morocco to Indonesia, and from sub-Saharan Africa to the steppes of Uzbekistan. Despite the diverse linguistic, ethnic, and religious backgrounds of these communities, they are bound together by a shared cultural identity that is shaped by their religious beliefs. Recognizing the importance of these commonalities, the co-editors have assembled a team of scholars from various disciplines to explore Muslim societies in comparative and interconnected ways. The result is a comprehensive and captivating book that showcases a wide range of aspects of Muslim life, including ethics, education, architecture, the arts, modernization, political resistance, marriage, divorce, and death rituals.
By employing the insights and methodologies of historians, anthropologists, literary critics, art historians, political scientists, and sociologists, Islamic Ecumene aims to unravel the complex and dynamic nature of Islamic identity. The book seeks to understand Islamic identity as a multifaceted phenomenon that manifests itself in the diverse practices of over one billion Muslims worldwide. Through its rich and diverse content, Islamic Ecumene provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of the world's largest religious community.
