Many people, including Muslims, have a singular and static view of Islam. However, there is a vast diversity to be discovered in how Islam is experienced across different regions and periods.
In The Five Senses, Islamic scholar and Arabist Christian Lange takes us on a journey through the multifaceted nature of Islam. He does so through his research on the five senses—the windows through which we take in the world by listening, seeing, hearing, smelling, and feeling.
Wandering through the fragrant streets of Fez, Morocco, Lange shares his personal motivations for this unique, long-term project and his mission as a non-Muslim to bridge the gap between East and West. What does it feel like to step into someone else’s world?
