Modern Trends in Islamic Theological Discourse In 20th Indonesia by A Critical Survey by Fauzan Saleh

MODERN TRENDS IN ISLAMIC THEOLOGICAL DISCOURSE IN 20TH INDONESIA

This work is originally a Ph.D. dissertation submitted to the Institute of Islamic Studies, McGill University, Montreal, 2000.

For their assistance and help throughout the accomplishment of this work, I am greatly indebted to a large number of people and institutions.

Thanks are due, first of all, to the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) for the award of a fellowship to pursue my doctoral studies at the Institute of Islamic Studies.

 Special thanks are also due to Prof. Howard M. Federspiel and Prof. Eric Ormsby, who have given me invaluable support and encouragement, and in many different ways have helped improve the overall organiza¬ time of this study and in clarifying my ideas.

Prof. Federspiel has been generous by providing me with some important materials not accessible to me.

But, still, more importantly, he is the one who has opened my eyes to Indonesian Islam as an interesting subject of inquiry from Western academic insights.

The publication of this work is made possible only due to his prudent suggestion.

Prof. Eric Ormsby, who has been my academic advisor during my sojourn in Montreal, deserves special thanks for his patience, sincerity, and inspiring advice throughout my graduate study at McGill University (1990-1992, 1995-2000).

My sincere thanks also go to Prof. Sheila McDonough of Concordia University, who has shared her inspiring ideas with me on orthodoxy, both in Islam and beyond.

 I wish also to express my hearty thanks to Prof. Daniel S. Lev of Washington University at Seattle for allowing me to share his thoughtful insights on Indonesian Islam.
