The Cambridge Companion to Classical Islamic Theology (Cambridge Companions to Religion)

Scholarly synopsis of islam in a fair way. This is not for beginners or average readers. Both Muslims and non Muslims theolgians and thinkers will benefit from this bookKhan

Arrived as expectedGood condition

Its a good reference book. Some chapters I feel like the authors are somewhat bias towards certain schools of thought!

The Cambridge Companion to Classical Islamic Theology is a useful text for the study of early Islamic theology. This is a book for scholars and not going to be useful for the person with a passing interest in Islam.

Excellent read and reference! Recommend highly!

Great resource.

This is very interesting reading. The articles are well written, scholarly, and very informative. An important addition to the collection of any student of Islam and/or religion.

Good news --- this is the kind of reference book that should be on the shelf of every student, researcher or teacher. They should be used in association with another great textbook, called The Cambridge Companion to the Qur'an and I suppose the publisher is quite good at referring to other works. It's well edited, with a healthy collection of selected chapters. Really good articles are those in part 2 titled themes in which you find good stuff on ethics, revelation, the existence of God and his attributes. Tim Winter's introduction is really helpful as a great overview of the historical perspectives as well.

I am currently reading this book and have found it interesting. Some chapters are more interesting than others, together with some chapters being a lot more difficult to comprehend. Each chapter contains a reference list, which is useful if you want to explore a particular topic further.

this is an excellent book for those wanting to understand Kalaam and it's origins

This is a major work by compilation by Tim Winter and it gives a very good introduction to Classical Islamic theology. This is a recommended book for every home bookshelf.

If you are looking for a comprehensive exposition of Islamic theology and it's history for beginners - this is it. Otherwise the book is very basic and thus not suitable for specialists and researchers in Islamic theology.

Good as declared.
