Summary

4 Education and the Democratization of Scripture - One outworking of the parallel Salafi and Evangelical attachments to scripture is that they build massive educational networks to facilitate popular access to scriptural knowledge and scholarship. This chapter juxtaposes a traditional American Muslim educational institution (Zaytuna College) with the much larger and more diffuse, Salafi-inspired AlMaghrib Institute to show how distinctive scripturalist pedagogies and educational philosophy operate.
