Description

Explore the roots of Sunni theology with this scholarly work from Brill. This book examines the life and teachings of Al-Maturidi (d. 944 CE), the influential Hanafi scholar from Samarqand. By studying his theological doctrine, readers gain insight into a system that remains widely accepted in Sunni Islam today. This volume provides a revised English translation of the 1997 German original. It offers a detailed look at the history of kalam by situating Al-Maturidi's work within its historical context. The text is divided into two parts to provide a clear academic perspective. The first part tracks the development of Hanafi thought in Transoxania prior to Al-Maturidi. The second part examines the religious landscape of his era, specifically looking at groups like the Mu'tazilites that emerged in the region. This book is a necessary resource for students and researchers of Islamic history and civilization.
