Summary:	Islam's tense relationship with modernity is one of the most crucial issues of our time. Within Islamic legal systems, this struggle has played a significant role in attitudes toward expert witnesses. Shaham examines the evolution of the role of such witnesses in a number of Arab countries from the premodern period to the present.
