| Summary: | Glossary -- Introduction: Islamic Reformist Mosaic in Southeast Asia -- 1. Naquib Al-Attas: The Desecularist -- 2. Osman Bakar: The Epistemist -- 3. Harun Nasution: The Rationalist -- 4. Ahmad Ibrahim: The Legalist -- 5. Kuntowijoyo: The Historicist -- 6. Cesar Majul Adib: The Integrationist -- 7. Zakiah Daradjat: The Moralist -- Epilogue: Muslim Reformism and the Future of Islam -- Bibliography. "One of the largest Muslim populations in the world today resides in Southeast Asia. The region has also produced its own pedigree of reformers who have critiqued the limits of Islamic thought and propounded new lines of thinking in the road to construct a better ummah. This book captures the progressive and pluralistic nature of Islamic reformism in Southeast Asia from the mid-twentieth century onwards, a period can now be regarded as the age of networked Islam. Offering a fresh conceptualization that could be well applied in the parts of the Islamic world, the author shows how several influential Muslim intellectuals have given rise to an "Islamic reformist mosaic" in Southeast Asia. Representing different strands of reformist thinking, these shapers of Islam form a unified and coherent frame of thought that distinguishes itself from the ultra-traditionalist and ultra-secularist leanings. This fascinating study is indispensable to anyone interested in understanding the challenges facing Islam and other religions in the modern world"-- |
