"The book is an in-depth study of Muhammad Mitwall Sha'rawi one of the most important
religious figures in late twentieth century Egypt. Sha'rawi was an advisor to the
rulers of Egypt as well as being the first Arab television preacher. At the height
of his career it was estimated that up to 30,000,000 people tuned in to his show each
week. Much of the academic literature that focuses on Islam in modern Egypt repeats
the claim that traditionally trained Muslim scholars suffered the loss of religious
authority. Sha'rawi however is an example of a well-trained Sunni scholar who became
a national media sensation. He used television for the purpose of renewing religion
by popularizing long held theological and ethical beliefs."--Provided by publisher
