Clearly structured to cover all the major areas of study, including historical foundations, scripture, society, thought, ethics, rituals, spirituality and aesthetics, this is the ideal study aid for those approaching Islam for the first time. Rather than attempting to cover all the material, the critical and methodological issues that students need to grasp in the study of Islam - and religion in general - are drawn out, and the major contemporary debates explored. 0aIslamxStudy and teaching.92598 0aReligion952051 0aReligionxIslamvGeneral952052  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBOOKhBP 42i.B46 2010  c736d736  00102lcc40708BooksaAUA.1bAUA.1cGSd2011-08-15eDonation, Biblical Research Instituteg22.95hAUA000900l3m1oBP 42 .B46 2010pAUA000900r2013-05-22 00:00:00s2013-05-21v22.95w2011-08-15yBOOK
