SherAli Tareen (Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Franklin &amp; Marshall College) joins us to discuss his intellectual trajectory and his approach to studying debates within the Muslim tradition. This approach is best illustrated in his recent book "Defending Muhammad in Modernity" (2019, University of Notre Dame Press) which reanimates the contours of the infamous Barelvi-Deobandi polemic as a contest between competing political theologies. In 2020, the book was awarded the American Institute of Pakistan Studies book prize.
