Musa Sadr: Modernity, Shi‘ism, and Islamic Humanism

Musa Sadr was a leading force in Lebanese politics from the early 1960s, until his disappearance in Libya in 1978. Through twelve lectures given by Sadr between 1966–1977, this book situates Musa Sadr as a thinker whose actions were firmly rooted in universal ethical and religious values, and for whom Islam was social philosophy as well as faith.
