This series of critical reflections on the evolution and major
themes of pre-modern Muslim theology begins with the revelation of
the Koran, and extends to the beginnings of modernity in the
eighteenth century. The significance of Islamic theology reflects
the immense importance of Islam in the history of monotheism, to
which it has brought a unique approach and style, and a range of
solutions which are of abiding interest. Devoting especial
attention to questions of rationality, scriptural fidelity, and the
construction of 'orthodoxy', this volume introduces key Muslim
theories of revelation, creation, ethics, scriptural
interpretation, law, mysticism, and eschatology. Throughout the
treatment is firmly set in the historical, social and political
context in which Islam's distinctive understanding of God evolved.
Despite its importance, Islamic theology has been neglected in
recent scholarship, and this book provides a unique, scholarly but
accessible introduction.
