Lost in the Sacred: Why the Muslim World Stood Still

Lost in the Sacred poses questions about the Muslim world that no other book by a Western writer has dared to ask. Focusing on the Arab Middle East, Dan Diner asks what caused the Muslim world to lag behind so dramatically. Is Western dominance to blame? Or is the problem even with Islam itself?

[ 4.0 stars ] "It is said that the realm of religion in general is particularly conservative, and this seems largely true. It isn't, however, necessarily so: in addition to the phenomenon of liberal religion (which holds rather to Utopian ethical standards than to remembered ritual), there crops up an occasional radical-leaning antinomianism in many religions, as well as an apocalypticism that is the opposit ..."

Why this i ..." Courtesy by Amazon
