Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Fuad Khuri's comparative study of Islamic sects in the contemporary Arab world spotlights those that share distinguishing features like geographical isolation, intensity of rituals, and duality of religious organization. He examines not only dogma but also the variables that differentiate a religion from a sect and a sect from a religious community.
