Early modern Protestant scholars closely engaged with Islamic
thought in more ways than is usually recognized. Among Protestants,
Lutheran scholars distinguished themselves as the most invested in
the study of Islam and Muslim culture. Mehmet Karabela brings the
neglected voices of post-Reformation theologians, primarily German
Lutherans, into focus and reveals their rigorous engagement with
Islamic thought. Inspired by a global history approach to religious
thought, Islamic Thought Through Protestant Eyes offers new sources
to broaden the conventional interpretation of the Reformation
beyond a solely European Christian phenomenon. Based on previously
unstudied dissertations, disputations, and academic works written
in Latin in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Karabela
analyzes three themes: Islam as theology and religion; Islamic
philosophy and liberal arts; and Muslim sects (Sunni and Shi'a).
This book provides analyses and translations of the Latin texts as
well as brief biographies of the authors. These texts offer insight
into the Protestant perception of Islamic thought for scholars of
religious studies and Islamic studies as well as for general
readers. Examining the influence of Islamic thought on the
construction of the Protestant identity after the Reformation helps
us to understand the role of Islam in the evolution of
Christianity.
