Preferred term

Abdulkarim Soroush  

Definition

  • Considered by some as Islam's Luther, the Shi'a theologian Abdulkarim Soroush has played a central role in the religious intellectual movement in Iran. Soroush is an important figure among a new wave of modern Islamic scholars who argue that the global message of the religion should be distinguished from its local elements. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Religion; Soroush, Abdulkarim (b. 1945)]
