On being a Muslim

"Dr. Esack is a Muslim theologian and an academic, yet he is also an outspoken public figure in the new South Africa. Every day immersed in the hotbed of controversy where faith and modernity meet, Esack is in a unique position to trample unashamedly over the traditional boundaries between the spiritual and the secular to tackle some of the key questions facing Muslims in the contemporary age. These range from the intensely personal - such as cultivating a meaningful personal relationship with God and being honestly self-aware - to meeting the major socio-political challenges of today, such as gender equality, religious freedom and racial tolerance."--BOOK JACKET.
