ABSTRACT

Sociological studies of Islam and science in the West have developed in the past two decades. This response is positioned in the light of one such study (https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/ptr/projects/science-british-muslim-religious-leadership.aspx). It argues that Malik’s work is part of emerging transatlantic networks of learning and authority in Islam and science discourses. It suggests that Muslim leadership is now shifting in favour of informed engagement with science/religion topics, and that Malik’s book both exemplifies this shift, but also addresses an urgent need for scholarship that brings Islamic theological principles into dialogue with modern scientific topics.

摘要

西方对伊斯兰教和科学的社会学研究在过去二十年得到了发展。这一回应是根据一项此类研究做出的（https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/ptr/projects/science-british-muslim-religious-leadership.aspx）。它认为马利克的工作是新兴的跨大西洋学习网络和伊斯兰教和科学话语权威的一部分。它表明穆斯林领导层现在正在转向支持在知情的情况下参与科学/宗教主题，马利克的书既体现了这种转变，也解决了对学术的迫切需求，将伊斯兰神学原则与现代科学主题进行对话。
