  • Summary

    This chapter introduces the main scholars and institutions leading the movement for revival of Islamic rationalism. It presents evidence of their growing popularity among young educated Muslims in the West and also among Muslims from upper income groups in the Muslim majority countries. It introduces the conceptual framework outlining the importance of elites’ involvement in knowledge production. It shows how this movement's ability to bring young educated Muslims to the serious study of Islamic texts holds promise for revival of creative energy within the Islamic scholarly tradition.
