Critical Bibliography of Islamic Studies
This article will compile academic articles, chapters, and books which are both scholarly and rigorous and which present perspectives on topics in Islamic studies (history, theology, etc.) subversive of inherited and religious viewpoints on the same. It is not essential that posterity have confirmed the accuracy of the analysis presented in these publications, or that their analysis necessarily be falsifiable in all cases; instead, what will merit inclusion is anything that has succeeded in prompting scholars, students, and the literate laity to rethink what they believe about Islam as it exists today or how it existed in the past. In other words, the aim is to curate research and theory about Islam and its past which would not merely cause al-Ghazali to spin in his grave, but which would instead prompt him to climb out of it and perhaps change his mind about his most fundamental religious convictions.
