Great Britain: Cambridge University Press. Hardback. Slight foxing to end inside covers and edge. Price clipped. Slight shelf wear and tiny tear to edge of D/J. Dr. Rosenthal's new book describes the contemporary spiritual and intellectual crisis of Islam. The unity of religion and politics, essential in classical Islam, has larggely disappeared. There has been no counterpart in Islam of the Reformation in the West; and so, in the absence of radical reform, a vulnerable religious and political system has capitulated step by step to a secular nationalism, which in turn has grown out of resentment of foreign influence and domination. The result is a very confused situation, close analysis of which is essential to an understanding of the place of Islam in the modern national state. The author bases part of his book on the available source material; but the greater part derives from personal observation during long visits to Pakistan, India, Malaya, Iran, Turkey, Tunisia and Morocco. 416 pp. ( We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) . Very Good. Cloth. First Edition. 1965.
