Scripturalist Islam: The History and Doctrines of the Akhbari Shi'i School

Robert Gleave

4.9/5 (28761 ratings)

Description:The Akhbari School dominated the intellectual landscape of Imami Shiism between the Seventeenth and early Nineteenth Centuries. Its principal doctrines involved a reliance on scripture (primarily the sayings or akhbar of the Shiite Imams) and a rejection of the rational exegetical techniques which had become orthodox doctrine in Imami theology and law. However, the Akhbaris were not simple literalists, as they are at times portrayed in secondary literature. They developed a complex theory of exegesis in which texts could be interpreted, whilst at the same time remaining doggedly committed to the ability of the revelatory texts to provide answers to theological and legal questions arising within the Shii community. This book is the first in-depth study of the intellectual development and historical influence of the Akhbari School.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
