Māturīdī Theology

Trotz ihres Status als eine der großen Traditionen des islamischen Denkens sind die Māturīdī-Schule und ihre wichtigsten Texte für ein westliches Publikum weitgehend unzugänglich geblieben. Als erster Reader zu māturīdischer Theologie in westlicher Sprache, bietet dieser Band ausgewählte māturīdische Texte zu klassischen Fragen islamischer systematischer Theologie, vom Gründer dieser wichtigen sunnitischen Tradition bis ins 18. Jahrhundert.Introduction
