In this book, Omar Farahat presents a new way of understanding the
work of classical Islamic theologians and legal theorists who
maintained that divine revelation is necessary for the knowledge of
the norms and values of human actions. Through a reconstruction of
classical Ash'ari-Mu'tazili debates on the nature and implications
of divine speech, Farahat argues that the Ash'ari attachment to
revelation was not a purely traditionalist position. Rather, it was
a rational philosophical commitment emerging from debates in
epistemology and theology. He further argues that the particularity
of this model makes its distinctive features helpful for
contemporary scholars who defend a form of divine command theory.
Farahat's volume thus constitutes a new reading of the issue of
reason and revelation in Islam and breaks new ground in Islamic
theology, law and ethics.
