John L. Esposito is one of America's leading authorities on Islam. Now, in this brilliant portrait of Islam today -- and tomorrow -- he draws on a lifetime of thought and research to provide an accurate, richly nuanced, and revelatory account of the fastest growing religion in the world. Here Esposito explores the major questions and issues that face Islam in the 21st century and that will deeply affect global politics: Is Islam compatible with modern notions of democracy, rule of law, gender equality, and human rights? How representative and widespread is Islamic fundamentalism and the threat of global terrorism? Can Muslim minority communities be loyal citizens in America and Europe? The book also turns the mirror on the US and Europe, revealing how we appear to Muslims. Recent decades have brought extraordinary changes in the Muslim world, and in addressing these issues, Esposito paints a complex picture of Islam in all its diversity-a picture of urgent importance as we face the challenges of the coming century.
John L. Esposito is University Professor of Religion and International Affairs at Georgetown University and founding director of the Prince Alwaleed Bin-Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. He is editor in chief of The Oxford Encyclopedia of Modern Islam and The Oxford History of Islam and author of more than 35 books, including Unholy War, What Everyone Needs to Know about Islam, The Islamic Threat, and many other acclaimed works.
