Description
Book SynopsisA highly influential Sudanese reformist thinker, Mahmud Muhammad Taha is regarded as a product of a dual legacy rooted in mystical Islam on the one hand and in the tradition of modernity on the other. This work presents a treatment of Taha's controversial yet significant thought. It explores Taha's theories of human freedom and his social message.
Trade ReviewMohamed Mahmoud does an excellent job of explaining the ideas of a significant but little-known Muslim thinker. Taha's thought is an important alternative to the ideas of Muslim militants and Mahmoud's book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the full spectrum of contemporary Muslim thought." - John Voll, Associate Director, Prince Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, Georgetown University
