Who speaks for Islam ? To whom do Muslims turn when they look for guidance ? To what extent do individual scholars and preachers exert religious authority, and how can it be assessed ? The present volume - Grown out of an international symposium at the Free University, Berlin in 2003 - is not so much concerned with religious authority, but with religious authorities, men and women claiming, projecting and exerting religious authority within a given context.
