From the rear cover
"Using representative primary sources from the seventh century to the present - many of them freshly translated into English - John Renard's book offers an accessible introduction to all the major trends of Islamic theology. Without privileging any one approach, Sunni or Shi'i, Hanbali or Mu'tazili, Philosophical or Sufi, it attempts to do justice to them all. Comprehensive in scope, the book is indispensable for serious students of Islam as well as anyone interested in comparisons between monotheistic religions."--Alexander Treiger, Dalhousie University "Another superb anthology of Islamic texts meticulouslyedited by John Renard. This comprehensive and highly accessible reader - the first in English - is destined to have a long shelf life as the main source book for all scholars, students and general readers interested in Islamic theology."--Ahmet T. Karamustafa, Professsor of History, University of Maryland "John Renard put together a highly absorbing and very useful volume. Never before have this many voices of theology and philosophy in Islam been collected in an English book, showcasing the variety and the strength of Muslim intellectual traditions."--Frank Griffel, Yale University, author of Al-Ghazali's Philosophical Theology
