      This book far from reflects the majority opinion of Muslims, but the contributors do make a good case for a more magnanimous form of Islam. Although some of the authors make the same mistake that Irshad Manji does in her famous treatise, i.e. fixating on certain aspects of the Quran and ignoring the parts they find inconvenient, they are from her sloppy scholarship. If only more Muslims read this instead of skeptics.

      A Who's who of Progressive Muslim scholars, primarily teaching at institutions in North America and South Africa (one Malaysian, one person at American University of Beirut). No European Muslims are represented in this volume.Each scholar wrote a short essay, and years later these essays have been turned into book(s). Gives you a nice preview of what the authors will later expand. The essay quality varies, but in general, they are quite good and easily accessible to the average university undergraduate. Many of these academics are no longer at the institutions listed in the introduction, but a quick Google search should locate them easily.Progressive Muslim scholars in this book include Kecia Ali, Khaled Abou El Fadl, Farid Esak, Marcia Hermansen, Amir Hussain, Ahmet K. Karamustafa, Tazim R. Kassam, Scott Kugle, Ebrahim Moosa, Ahmad S. Moussalli, Farish Ahmad-Noor, Omid Saifi, Sa'diyya Shaikh, Gwendolyn Zoharah Simmons, and Amina Wadud.
