The Jurist and the Theologian : Speculative Theology in Shafi'i Legal Theory, Hardback Book

The Jurist and the Theologian : Speculative Theology in Shafi'i Legal Theory Hardback

Part of the Islamic History and Thought series

Hardback

Description

This in-depth study examines the relation between legal theory (usul al-fiqh) and speculative theology ('ilm al-kalam).

It compares the legal theory of four classical jurists who belonged to the same school of law, the Shafi'i school, yet followed three different theological traditions.

The aim of this comparison is to understand to what extent, and in what way, the theology of each jurist shaped his choices in legal theory.
