Summary
"The practice of preaching is an essential element of Muslim religious life. It is a means of religious promulgation, knowledge transfer and communication, and of pastoral guidance and uplift. As such, preaching is recognized as a vehicle to negotiate religious normativity and power relations, hence holding societal relevance. This collective volume sheds new light on sermons' content and intertextual references as well as on the preachers themselves and the audience by focusing on the role of bodily performance, of the temporality and spatiality of preaching, and of the material things involved." -- Publisher, page four of cover.
