Note: this book is currently out of print, 2013. 2 3 INTRODUCTION It is my privilege to introduce to you a special book written for special people and published through a rather out-of-the-ordinary cooperative effort. UNDERSTANDING ISLAM: AN APPROACH TO WITNESS was born of the work of life-long Southern Baptist missionary Dr. Dwight Baker. I met Dr. Baker at Baylor University where he served as Visiting Professor in the Department of Religion. Dr. Baker presented some of the material shared in this book in seminars in November of 1988 in a meeting for volunteers in church ministries to internationals. Dr. Baker then shared with me his dream of having these lectures published. Thus began the cooperative effort that depicts the publishing of this book. As Dr. Baker notes in his comments, the Department of Religion at Baylor was responsible for the typing of his original manuscript.

  • Schools of Qur'anic Exegesis
    Schools of Qur’anic Exegesis Qur’anic exegesis has become the battleground of political Islam and theological conflict among various Muslim schools of thought. Using comparative and con- trastive methodology, examples from the Qur’an are investigated in the light of various theological views to delineate the birth, development and growth of Qur’anic exegesis. The political status quo, in the past and at present, has impinged upon Qur’anic exegesis more than on any other discipline in Islamic studies. This book illus- trates the dichotomy between mainstream and non-mainstream Islam, showing how Qur’anic exegesis reflects the subtle dogmatic differences and political cleavages in Islamic thought. Chapters explore in depth the intrusive views of the compilers of early exegesis manuscripts, the scepticism among Western scholars about the authenticity of early Muslim works of exegesis and of prophetic tradi- tion, and the role of exegesis as a tool to reaffirm the Qur’an as a canon. Broader themes encompassed include the interpretations of exegetical terms; use of the notion of free will and pre-determinism to justify the political misfortunes of Muslim leaders and the sufferings of their people; politicization of Ramadan; and the disparity between jihad and non-jihad. Written to appeal to those with comparative exegetical interests as well as those focused on Islamic studies in general, this book will be an important refer- ence for research students, scholars and students of Islamic studies, Theology, Religious studies and Middle Eastern studies. Hussein Abdul-Raof is Senior Lecturer in Arabic and Qur’anic Studies at the University of Leeds.

To all of those who are observing the holy month, let me being saying Ramadan Kareem. In a few minutes we will hear from Shadi Hamid, a senior fellow in our project on U.S. Relations with the Islamic World, about his new book. And he will then be joined in conversation by our Isaiah Berlin senior fellow for Culture and Policy, Leon Wieseltier, for what I know will be a fascinating and enlightening conversation. After we finish our program here in Falk, we will have a reception across the hall. And I hope that you can all stay to join us and celebrate Shadi’s new scholarship. The proper role of Islam in modern politics has of course been a subject of intense debate in Muslim majority countries, at least since the 19th century with the end of the Caliphate and the rise of the modern nation state.

  • Ashland Theological Journal 29 (1997)
    Ashland Theological Journal 29 (1997) BOOK REVIEWS Carl E. Braaten and Robert W. Jenson, eds., Reclaiming the Bible for the Church, Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1995, xii + 137 pp., $13.00 (pbk). This book is a collection of addresses delivered at a conference in 1994 co­ sponsored by the Center for Catholic and Evangelical Theology and the American Lutheran Publicity Bureau. Carl E. Braaten and Robert W. Jenson introduce the conference theme, "Reclaiming the Bible for the Church," as being motivated by a crisis of biblical authority and interpretation in the church. This crisis, they explain, is the result of the historical critical methodology used by biblical scholars to produce conclusions about Scripture that undermine the faith of the church. Nine leading theologians speak to the causes of this crisis and propose solutions. Brevard S. Childs discusses a three-fold challenge to the authority of Scripture: I) modern hermeneutics questions whether any ancient text can have determinative, much less authoritative, meaning for today's readers; 2) modern explanations of Christianity in terms of sociological forces blunt the witness of Scripture; and 3) the separation of the Old and New Testaments and the study of their parts in isolation from the whole has rendered them void of lasting significance. Karl P. Donfried identifies the roots of the crisis as a hermeneutical issue, stemming from interpreters who misappropriate Scripture by using a hermeneutic alien to its purpose and function. By using anti-supernatural epistemological assumptions and ignoring the meaning originally intended by the ancient author, many modern interpreters abstract the meaning of biblical passages to the point that the interpretative enterprise is idiosyncratic and self-serving.
