Winner of The Iranian World Prize for the Book of the Year 2007
in the Philosophy and Mysticism category.
This new and original text provides a timely re-examination of
Islamic thought, presenting a stark contrast to the more usual
conservative view.
The explanation of the relationship between God and humans, as
portrayed in Islam, is often influenced by the images of God and of
human beings which theologians, philosophers and mystics have in
mind. The early period of Islam reveals a diversity of
interpretations of this relationship. Elkaisy-Friemuth discusses
the view of three scholars from the tenth and eleventh century: Abd
al-Jabbar, Ibn Sina and Al-Ghazali, which introduce three different
approaches of looking at the relationship between God and
Humans.
God and Humans in Islamic Thought attempts to shed light on an
important side of medieval rational thought in demonstrating its
significance in forming the basis of an understanding of the nature
of God, the nature of human beings and the construction of
different bridges between them.
