Renovatio: The Distance of Our Differences (The Journal of Zaytuna College - Fall 2017)
Description
About The Book
"Renovatio provides a forum for philosophers who want to deploy analytically rigorous methods to deepen our understanding of the human condition and address important matters of human aspiration and moral obligation. Kudos to Zaytuna College for giving the broader community of scholars and thinkers the gift of such a forum." - ROBERT P. GEORGE, PRINCETON UNIVERSITY
"A great deal of attention has been paid to the vacuum of religious authority in Islam in our age. But ours is also a time of flourishing, opportunity, and rejuvenation. Renovatio promises to be a forum to bring together rigorous and rooted Islamic thought, engaging some of the most important questions of our day." - OMID SAFI, DUKE UNIVERSITY
"Renovatio is an impressive publication, pitched at a broader readership than the merely academic, but still quite intellectually rich and bracing... . Zaytuna College is an institution, it seems, deeply steeped in the classical scholarly traditions of Islam, open to the entire world of learning, and committed to sincere and scrupulous dialogue with Jewish and Christian scholars and believers." - DAVID BENTLEY HART, UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME
