Informed by his deep reading of scripture and the Islamic tradition, as well as his grounding in the academic study of religion, Nguyen offers a theology that is of interest to academics as well as to people of faith, and to those who wish to learn more about Islam regardless of their orientation. -- Zayn Kassam, Pomona College
Nguyen successfully inhabits the pastoral voice-the book is as much an intellectual and spiritual reflection as a motivating call to action. -- Mairaj Syed, University of California, Davis
This is a courageous and bold voice which brings together the layers of tradition and worship in an engaged conversation on the topic of theological ethics. Learned as well as accessible, Martin Nguyen shows how a lived Islam reflects the ethical life Muslims around the world as well as in America practice and cherish. It is a fascinating search of a scholar and an engaged participant for a Muslim ethical narrative in late modernity. -- Ebrahim Moosa, professor of Islamic Studies, University of Notre Dame
