Against the background of the specific problems of Islam on the Indian subcontinent, Professor Abbott surveys the conflicts among the most influential traditionalist and modernist Muslims, past and present, the contributions of various sects and schools, and the tension between 'medieval' doctrine and modern accommodation to secular conditions. |
