Maturidi Theology: A Bilingual Reader (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783161610974)

Despite its status as one of the great traditions of Sunni Islamic systematic theology, the Maturidi school and its major texts have remained largely inaccessible to a Western audience. As the first reader of Maturidi theology ever produced in a Western language, this volume meets an urgent need among scholars and general readers. It features selections ranging from the founder, Abu Man?ur al-Maturidi, to key texts from the broader Maturidi tradition up to the 18th century. Each selection includes the original Arabic text and an annotated English translation, preceded by a short introduction. The volume's structure mirrors the classical compendia of Islamic systematic theology, known as kalam, exploring questions of Epistemology and Ontology; Metaphysics; Prophethood; Faith, Knowledge and Acts; and Free Will, Predestination, and the Problem of Evil.
