Ibadi Islam is a distinct sect of Islam, neither Sunni nor Shi'ite,
that emerged in the early Islamic period and remains active today
in small pockets of North Africa and as the dominant sect of Oman.
Despite its antiquity, it has often been misunderstood and remains
little known. Seeking to redress this gap and to introduce this
influential Islamic school to the non-Arabic-speaking world,
Hoffman offers the first book-length overview of Ibadi theology
published in English. Beginning with a concise overview of Ibadi
history, Hoffman delineates the sectarian movement's role in the
development of Islamic thought, tracing its distinctive teachings
and literary history. In the second section, she provides annotated
translations of two complementary modern Ibadi theological texts.
This unique volume elucidates the religious and political thought
by allowing the Ibadi tradition to speak for itself. The Essentials
of Ibadi Islam gives readers, specialists and nonspecialists alike,
a rare opportunity to understand the major teachings of Ibadi
Islam.
