| Summary: | The paper concerns the self-transformation of Ibadism in Oman since the 1950s and suggests the main trends of contemporary religious discourse and identity. An intensified economic and political involvement with the outside world in recent decades, the implementation of mass modern education over the last fifteen years, a growing sense of identity with the Islamic world, and changing perceptions of political and religious authority have contributed to an altered sectarian identity.
