The book Remapping Emergent Islam presents a comprehensive exploration of the origins of Islam through a multidisciplinary lens. It delves into three critical domains: texts, social contexts, and ideological developments that are essential for understanding the beginnings of this significant faith. By examining these intersecting areas, the authors aim to provide fresh insights into the complex phenomena that contributed to the emergence of a new religious identity.
In Remapping Emergent Islam, the contributors emphasize the importance of re-evaluating traditional narratives and methodologies. They argue that a deeper analysis of the social and ideological contexts surrounding early Islam is crucial for grasping how this new identity formed and evolved over time. The book encourages scholars to look beyond established frameworks and consider how various factors interacted to shape religious beliefs and practices.
Ultimately, Remapping Emergent Islam seeks to illuminate the gradual process by which Islam's boundaries were defined and refined. By addressing the multifaceted nature of its origins, the volume not only enriches academic discourse but also invites readers to reflect on the broader implications of these developments for contemporary understandings of Islam.
"Cet ouvrage a le mérite de proposer des réflexions stimulantes et d’ouvrir des débats originaux et novateurs pour les études sur le Coran et les débuts de l’islam – contribution fort appréciable, dans un domaine où de nombreux travaux, loin d’ouvrir des perspectives nouvelles, ont plutôt tendance à fermer dogmatiquement des portes."
