Islam III 
Vom 19. Jahrhundert bis heute

Islam today, with approximately 1.8 billion adherents, is a lively and fast-growing worldwide religious community. This third volume of the three-part presentation of Islam in the series ?Religions of the World= traces the religion=s historical development during the last 200 years and examines the issues of ?Islam and Modernity= and ?Islam in the Postcolonial Age=. These questions are linked to the current situation in Islamic regions and the Muslim diaspora, exploring the way in which Islam deals with the challenges of modernity; the search for the ?right path= (halal/haram); intercultural influences; the situation of non-Islamic minorities in the world of Islam; jihad, terror and martyrdom; and much more. An overview of topics in modern Islamic theology and philosophy, as well as interfaith dialogue, rounds off this lively account of the youngest of the world=s three monotheistic religions.
