In Words of Witness, Hina Khalid offers a comparative exploration of the theologies of Muhammad Iqbal (d. 1938) and Rabindranath Tagore (d. 1941). From their vast writings spanning multiple languages, she draws attention to the striking conceptual resonances across their worldviews--particularly their metaphysics, anthropologies, and political philosophies. The book demonstrates how both poets envision the God-world relationship as one of a dynamic call and response, and thus situate the finite in unceasing connection with the infinite. For both Iqbal and Tagore, human beings are called upon to become active participants in the divine creativity unfolding throughout the cosmos, and to craft their social and political worlds in modes that reflect as well as enact this sacred artistry.
