Focusing on four modern Sunni Muslim diaspora thinkers, Armajani (world religions and theology, St. John's U., Minnesota) explores how religious people interpret and appropriate their own religious history to address current issues and difficulties that their religious tradition faces. He shows how Fatima Mernissi and Leila Ahmed draw on various principles from modern feminism, and Fazlur Rahman and Mohammed Arkoun from modern notions of human rights and democracy. The study served as his . dissertation in religious studies for the University of California-Santa Barbara. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
