An informative and engaging study of the Islamic tradition?s attempts to grapple with conceptions of anthropomorphism across a range of historical settings. It represents a formidable survey of a complex topic that has for centuries defined classical Islamic theological discourses.? Mustafa Shah, University of London Explores the problem of anthropomorphism ? a major bone of contention in eighth- to fourteenth-century Islamic theology More than any other issue in Islamic theology, anthropomorphism (tashb?h) stood at the heart of many theological debates, and was mostly discussed within the circles of traditionalist Islam. The way a scholar interpreted the anthropomorphic descriptions of God in the Qur?an or the Hadith (for instance, God?s hand, God?s laughter or God?s sitting on the heavenly throne) often reflected his political and social stature, as well as his theological affinity. This book presents an in-depth literary analysis of the textual and non-textual elements of a??d?th al-?if?t ? the traditions that depict God and His attributes in an anthropomorphic language. It goes on to discuss the inner controversies in the prominent traditionalistic learning centres of the Islamic world regarding the way to understand and interpret these anthropomorphic traditions. Through a close, contextualised and interdisciplinary reading in Hadith compilations, theological treatises and historical sources, the author offers an evaluation and understanding of the traditionalistic endeavours to define anthropomorphism in the most crucial and indeed most formative period of Islamic thought.Bron: flaptekst
