Islam In Focus

Indianapolis, Indiana: American Trust Publications, 1975. Trade Paperback. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Revised Edition. Copyright 1975. The new revised edition of Islam in Focus preserves the spirit and scope of the first. But in adition, it incorporates the more recent experiences and studies of the author. It speaks to the young and lay readers in a non-condescending manner, and to the adult intellectuals in a provocative yet respectful fashion. It avoids the unproductive theological debates and sectarian arguments. When applicable, historical and comparative issues are discussed. Most importantly, the book presents Islam as a universal, viable, resourceful, and cosmopolitan religion that is not only relevant to every phase of human existence but also necessary for the very well-being of mankind. It uses an approach that is really intelligible, a style that is living, and a frame of mind that is easily understandable to the English-speaking reader. This book is the most popular written document on Islam. With its living and resourceful style, the book addresses both the young educated and the adult intellectual in a scholarly yet fresh and simple mode of thinking and presentation. 200 pages..
