Book description

With a foreword from Jan Jaap de Ruiter. Translation and Afterword by Adi S. Bharat. --In Homosexuality, Transidentity, and Islam: a Study of Scripture Confronting the Politics of Gender and Sexuality, Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed systematically analyses the entirety of Islamic scriptural sources that relate to the question of Gender and Sexuality In relation to their historical contexts. Through an approach that is certainly more politically engaged than that of most Islamic thinkers of our time, he clarifies key theological concepts that may seem esoteric to the uninitiated. In doing so, he makes a compelling case for the compatibility of sexual and Gender diversity within Islam. Zahed also examines the historical and contemporary socio-political impacts of inclusive and exclusive (or, quite simply, homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic) interpretations of scripture. This important Study dynamically examines the connections between Scripture, interpretation, and the Politics of Gender and sexuality.
