The liturgical Friday sermon is a prime example, although other genres that are less commonly known also serve important functions. This book addresses the ways in which Muslims relate various forms of religious oratory to authoritative tradition in 21st-century Islamic practice, while striving to adapt to local contexts and the changing circumstances of politics, media and society. This is the first book of its kind to look at homiletics beyond a specific country focus. \u003cbr\u003eTaking into consideration the historical developments of Muslim preaching, it offers a collection of thoroughly contextualised case studies of oratory in Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bosnia, Sweden and the USA. The analyses presented here show shared emphasis on struggles for legitimacy, efforts to speak authoritatively, as well as discursive opportunities and constraints.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46289737515159,"sku":"9781474467476","price":14080.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781474467476.webp?v=1768664733","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/muslim-preaching-in-the-middle-east-and-beyond-historical-and-contemporary-case-studies-9781474467476","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
