The Islamic Enlightenment: The Struggle Between Faith and Reason, 1798 to Modern Times

byChristopher de Bellaigue

Christopher de Bellaigue uses The Islamic Enlightenment to investigate the Struggle Between Faith and Reason, 1798 to Modern Times through a carefully framed historical account. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the wider field of history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
