Books in the Wiener Islamstudien series

Muslima theology now claims a place alongside womanist and mujerista readings. This pioneering volume defines the contours of the emerging engagements of Muslim women scholars from around the world with the authoritative interpretive traditions of Islam, classical and contemporary.

After 9/11 imams became central figures in the debate on Islam. Integrated imams trained in Europe were to promote Muslim integration, prevent violence, and further Islamic enlightenment. Due to the central role of imams in the lives of Muslims, their training is essential in the process of Muslim integration.

Today's Muslims reconceive the role of religion in their lives, and thus Islamic education acquires new importance. The contributors to this volume explore how the religious and secular, and traditional and modern intersect in Islamic educational institutions that benefit Muslims and their societies by averting extremism and promoting cohesion.
