Klappentext Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim country, but much of its scholarly work on Islam is not available to a wider readership. This volume brings together a wide range of Muslim intellectuals, from traditionalists to neo-modernists, and makes their varied approaches to the Qur'an accessible to an English-speaking audience for the first time.
