Under the title “Theological        Rationalism in Medieval Islam: New Texts and Perspectives”, a group of        leading international scholars was invited to introduce important new        kalam-texts that have not been the subject of previous studies or        to explore new trajectories in studying known key-texts. While most        contributions combine both aspects, they are divided into two groups        according to the predominating aspect. The first four contributions        introduce hitherto unknown or unexplored texts and assess how these can        modify and expand our understanding of kalam. The second group of        contributions applies novel methodologies in order to identify and        interpret historical and conceptual transformations that occurred within        kalam or resulted from its interaction with other disciplines.        The question whether God can delay the elucidation of vague or unclear        statements raises a number of thorny theological questions. It is hoped        that the results of these presentations will have an impact beyond their        subject matter in that their novel approaches will find their place in        the methodological toolbox of kalam scholarship, thus stimulating        work that will further expand our knowledge of Muslim kalam.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49546315399511,"sku":"9789042934368","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/theological-rationalism-in-medieval-islam-new-sources-and-perspectives-9789042934368","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
