"Epistle on Worship: Risalat al-ubudiyya" aims to shed new light on
the thought of Ibn Taymiyya who remains one of the most
controversial Islamic thinkers today because of his supposed
influence on many fundamentalist movements. In this work, Professor
James Pavlin argues that the common understanding of Ibn Taymiyya's
ideas has been filtered through fragments of his statements-which
have been misappropriated by alleged supporters and avowed critics
alike-and that most people still have limited access to Ibn
Taymiyya's beliefs and opinions as expressed in his own writings.
"Epistle on Worship: Risalat al-ubudiyya" aims to begin filling
this gap by presenting an annotated translation of one of Ibn
Taymiyya's most important epistles on the theology of
worship.---The introduction to "Epistle on Worship: Risalat
al-ubudiyya" gives the reader an overview of Ibn Taymiyya's
biography, situating him in the broader world of Islamic
intellectual history by explaining his methodological arguments and
theological opinions, while the annotated translation captures the
immediacy of his ideas as they impacted his world as well as the
relevancy they have for our times.
