John L. Esposito is University Professor, Professor of Religion and International Affairs and of Islamic Studies at Georgetown University. He is the author or editor of more than 45 books, including What Everyone Needs to Know About Islam and The Future of Islam and is Editor in Chief of Oxford Islamic Studies Online.
"A Georgetown University professor and well-known scholar of Islam,
Esposito analyzes the current and future practice of Islam in this
short but insightful volume... Esposito's enthusiasm for his topic
makes his book an easy and enlightening read."--Publishers
Weekly
"Esposito's book is a calculated appeal to the moderate middle
ground upon whom the success of Obama's policies depends. Esposito
is the right man for the job: he is a leading scholar of modern
Islam, with more than 35 books on the subject to his credit, and
heads a centre for Christian-Muslim understanding at Georgetown
University. Through his scholarship and engaging writing, Esposito
proposes the way forward for a better future for both Islam and
the
west."--The Financial Times
"Esposito's newest book is a well-researched, richly nuanced
portrait of Islam. Though manageable at 234 pages, the book is both
comprehensive and in-depth. His choices are fascinating and provide
a road map for the myriad ways in which Islam is changing and
adapting to new challenges. 'The Future of Islam' is a step in the
right direction."--The Christian Science Monitor
"The Future of Islam will be welcomed by readers who want a solid
overview of where Islam and Muslims are now...Esposito provides, in
short, the kind of information that is all too often lacking in
U.S. foreign policy approaches to Muslims and the Muslim
world."--America Magazine
"Esposito, who has spent some three decades writing books that
present Islam and Muslims to nonspecialists, is at his best here."
---Foreign Affairs
"A powerful call for mutual respect between Muslims and non-Muslims
and for a paradigm change in US-foreign policy, though in a
balanced and informed way, offside populist argumentation."--Der
Islam
