Identity, Politics and the Study of Islam (Culture on the Edge: Studies in Identity Formation)
Based partly on a series of posts coming out of the Bulletin for the Study of Religion blog, this volume includes greatly expanded essays by Ruth Mas, Sarah Imhoff and James Crossley as well as new pieces by Devin Stewart, Carlos Segovia, Alexandre Caeiro and Emmanuelle Stefanidis, Russell McCutcheon and Salman Sayyid.

Critical Thinking and the Chronological Quran Book 3 in the Life of Prophet Muhammad
Abrogation in the Qur'an and Islamic Law (Routledge Studies in Religion)
by Louay Fatoohi

The book stresses the importance of reviewing the interpretive linguistic choices th...
