Expectations from Islam?

What should we expect from religion today, and what lies outside its proper realm? In which matters should we seek guidance from religion, and in which should we not expect it to provide answers?

Focusing on Islam, Professor Mohsen Kadivar explores how the Qur'an engages this fundamental question, how the Prophet responded to it, and why the popular slogan "Islam is the key to everything" can be misleading.
