Health and Medicine in the Islamic Tradition: Change and Identity (Health/Medicine and the Faith Traditions)
Professor Rahman reflects the Muslim world from which he came and to which he devoted a scholarly career. He is very much at home in a modern pluralist university and society where he explains his concepts to people who come with perspectives that do not mirror Islamic life. He has had to beckon us into his world. Only then do many elements that might otherwise seem implausible begin to take on the appearance of coherence. --Martin E. Marty
