Trade Review
"In this pathbreaking work, Mohsen Kadivar, a leading Muslim theologian and religious scholar, presents an authoritative and systematic methodology for interpreting, reforming, and applying Islam's sacred teachings and juridical rulings in ways that would make them compatible with universally accepted norms of human rights. By including freedom of thought, civil and minority rights, religious tolerance, and gender equality, as well as human security and economic rights, Kadivar offers a progressive vision of Islam that could serve as a basis not for political power and state governance but as a spiritual and ethical guide for believers and a foundation for a secular, pluralistic and egalitarian civil society. " -Ali Banuazizi, Professor of Political Science and Director of Islamic Civilization and Societies Program at Boston College
