The history of Sunni theology is little known, but the impact of
its demise has profoundly shaped modern Islam. This book explores
the correlation between anti-theological thought and the rise of
Islamism in the twentieth century by examining Egypt's Muslim
Brotherhood and the leadership of Umar al-Tilmisani (d. 1986). The
sociopolitical implications of anti-theological creedalism and its
postcolonial intermarriage with the modern nation-state are also
analyzed. Ultimately, this study seeks to know whether a revival of
Sunni theology, as a rational discourse on religion, can dilute the
absolutism of increasingly pervasive Islamist thought in the
contemporary Muslim world.
