Book Description:
|
Abu Ma'ali al-Juwayni (d. 478/1085) is a lauded figure in Islamic intellectual history but his thought remains underexplored. Living during a politically precarious period, he became preoccupied with questions of religious certainty and continuity. Siddiqui reveals the dynamism of his thinking on the relationship between theology, law and politics.
