Download or read book Shi'ism Revisited written by Liyakatali Takim and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should contemporary Muslims define the relationship between normative Islamic jurisprudence--worked out by classical jurists over the course of centuries--and the reality that confronts them in their everyday lives? Is there a need for reformation in Islam? If so, where should it begin and how should it proceed? So far, these challenging questions have received little attention from Western scholars. Shi'ism Revisited will address this gap.
