This volume presents the seminal 1997 document in which Egypt’s al-Gama‘ah al-Islamiyah formally renounced violence. Through a series of theological treatises, the organization’s leadership reinterprets foundational Islamic texts to argue against militancy, offering a rare primary source perspective on the internal ideological shifts within radical movements.
