Arguing the Just War in Islam
John Kelsay
Kelsay’s timely and important work focuses on jihad of the sword in Islamic thought, history, and culture. Making use of original sources, Kelsay delves into the tradition of shari'a—Islamic jurisprudence and reasoning—and shows how it defines jihad as the Islamic analogue of the Western “just” war.
