Perfection makes practice : learning, emotion, and the recited Qurʼān in Indonesia
Anna M. Gade (Author)
"The study's rich material and analysis provide a new focus for observers who attempt to "read" transnational religious revitalization movements within regional contexts, as well as for Islamicists seeking to understand developing trends in Muslim systems. By highlighting the "learner's point of view" in close treatments of text and context, Perfection Makes Practice represents an anthropology of Qur'anic traditions outside of the Arabic-speaking world, suggesting ways to apprehend the depth of Qur'anic piety in contemporary Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority societies."--BOOK JACKET
