Through close readings of works on \u003ci\u003efiqh\u003c\/i\u003e, meticulous unpacking of data in biographical dictionaries, and careful attention to curricular, pious, pedagogical, and scholarly practices, Melchert has subsequently illuminated the processes and procedures that undergirded the development of Islamic movements and institutions in the formative period of Islam. The present volume brings together sixteen of his articles, including those considered his most important as well as ones that are difficult to access. Originally published between 1997 and 2014, they are arranged chronologically under three rubrics-hadith, piety, and law. The material is presented in a new format, updated by Melchert where appropriate, and indexed. The appearance of these articles together in a single volume makes this book a highly significant and welcome contribution to the field of classical Islamic Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Melchert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1937040496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781937040499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lockwood Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Christopher Melchert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47036594290943,"sku":"9781937040499","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e1871f3e-63ae-4327-9dda-ee1c074b46e6.jpg?v=1752638055","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hadith-piety-and-law-christopher-melchert-9781937040499","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
