Toward an Islamic Theology of Nonviolence by Adnane Mokrani
Offers the first systematic study of the Qur'an and Islamic history in the light of Rene Girard's mimetic theory. Addressing this gap in Girardian studies, Adnane Mokrani aims to develop an Islamic theology that goes beyond just war theory to adopt a radical nonviolent approach.
“Adnane Mokrani’s book is an original and enlightening effort in reinterpreting the Islamic historical narrative in the mirror of RenÉ Girard’s mimetic theoryThe greatest merit of Mokrani’s work is his clarity and audacity in presenting Islam as a post-sacrificial religion. As such, this book opens a new consideration in the field of nonviolent Islam by demonstrating the need to move beyond a limited and stereotyped view of this religion."—Ramin Jahanbegloo, professor, vice dean, and executive director, Mahatma Gandhi Centre for Peace Studies, Jindal Global Law School, India
