Between Heaven & Hell Islam Salvation & Fate Others

In Between Heaven and Hell, eminent and upandcoming scholars representing a diversity of backgrounds and viewpoints address the question of nonMuslim salvation according to the Islamic ethos (however understood), what can be said about the status and fate of nonMuslims? Each of the volumes contributors responds to this often asked "salvation question"a question with profound theological and practical implicationsfrom different angles while some limit themselves to its historical dimensions, others approach it as theologians and philosophers, while yet others focus on the relationship between thisworldly relations with Others and nextworldly conceptions of salvation. Collectively and individually, the essays in this volume advance our understanding of Islamic thought and Muslim societies and indeed the discourse on religious diversity. This groundbreaking volume does not conclude with neat resolutions instead, it offers fascinating expositions, debates, and points of departure for further contemplation. Contributors include Mohammad Hassan Khalil, Tariq Ramadan, William C. Chittick, Farid Esack, Mohammad Fadel, David M. Freidenreich, Marcia Hermansen, Jerusha Lamptey, Bruce B. Lawrence, Muhammad Legenhausen, Yasir Qadhi, A. Kevin Reinhart, Sajjad Rizvi, Reza ShahKazemi, and Tim Winter. | Oxford University Press Between Heaven & Hell: Islam, Salvation, & the Fate of Others
