Establishes the case for examining Crow as a significant figure and leader in industrial relations, union and political scenes. This is done through the schema of a) the person, b) the politics, and c) the potential power of RMT members, and defining what the functions of leadership are and what is required to carry them out. The introduction outlines the methodology deployed and the intellectual approach taken. It also sets out context for analysing Crow in terms of the specificity of RMT and the rail industry. Finally, it provides outline of following chapters.Less

This chapter sets the stage for the study, laying out the primary research question and the answer to this question, both of which are outlined in the book abstract. The author’s methodological approach is also unpacked. Comparative textual analysis is the primary method, examining and contrasting the exegetical writings of Esack, Engineer, Wadud and Barlas. Supplementing this textual study, semi-structured interviews were carried out with each intellectual. In addition to providing a rationale as to why these intellectuals were singled out for analysis, unearthing the significance of their works, and explaining the layout and structure of the chapters, the author theorizes a key term invoked by all the intellectuals in question: namely, the Qur’an as being the ‘Word of God’.Less
