A study of Islam. Using the Koran and other primary sources, Tilman
Nagel delves deeply into Islamic history as he traces the
development of Islamic doctrine. He explores the centrality of the
Koran in Islamic theology and examines its canonization process and
the central themes of its message. The work goes on to explore the
relationships between such Islamic sects as the Sunni and the
Shiite, and the two types of Islamic theological literature: the
hadith, an oral report or story, and the ""kalam"", a genre that
""develops theological and metaphysical statements"". The author
also examines Islamic monotheism; the development of Islamic
philosophy in the Middle Ages and its relation to theology; and the
relationship between Islam and Gnosticism. Although the focus of
the book is on the 9th to the 12th centuries, Nagel demonstrates
the ways in which Muslims have carried these beliefs into the
modern world.
