As part of a regular series of conversations, Usaama al-Azami interviews Omar Anchassi about books from the academic field of Islamic studies. We reflect on what they mean for both the field and Islam and Muslims in the modern world.

This week we discuss Christopher Melchert's recent work. 'Before Sufism: Early Islamic Renunciant Piety'.

We welcome audience participation with questions and comments during the livestream. Please like, follow and subscribe to receive regular notifications.
