A highly influential Sudanese reformist thinker, Mahmud Muhammad Taha is regarded as a product of a dual legacy rooted in mystical Islam on the one hand and in the tradition of modernity on the other. Publicly executed in 1985 folowing his conviction of apostasy, Taha offered distinctly original interpretations of the Quran and a radical theory of Islamic prayer. In Quest for Divinity, Mohamed Mahmoud presents an indepth and balanced treatment of Tahas controversial yet significant thought. The authors ability to provide access to relevant literature in both Arabic and English offers readers a rare view of the considerable nuance in Tahas thought. With rich detail Mahmoud explores Tahas theories of human freedom and his social message, referred to as 'the second message of Islam' with its emphasis on political, economic, and social equality. Tahas embrace of modernity is further assessed relative to his position on science, law, and artareas that have always attracted Muslim modernists. Quest for Divinity will attract attention to Tahas compelling but littleknown intellectual contribution as a seminal modern reformer of Islam. Such recognition is long overdue and will enrich the current debates on Islam and modernity.
