Cambridge Guide to Islamic Theology

"... an easy-to-read book and fulfilled the promise of the Cambridge series to provide an accessible and motivating introduction to the subject for new and non-specialist readers." The Muslim World Book Review "Tim Winter (University of Cambridge) has gathered fifteen articles on classical Islamic theology at a timely moment, given the prevailing sentiments today, which alert us to developments in critical understanding of the early Islamic period (which in this book spans from the seventh to the sixteenth century), and shows us how major theological issues were addressed by scholars and schools of thought. The book succeeds in highlighting what was often a marginalized area in Islamic studies for the ordinary reader..." Reference Reviews "This book contributes to providing an excellent introduction to understanding, reading, critiquing, and contextual awareness of many theological issues, and most importantly, it reminds us that there are still many theological spaces that need research, re-reading, interpretation, or treatment."
