Synopsis

This original English edition includes:

• A new English translation from the Arabic
• An introduction, notes, detailed contents, and glossary

Abu Bakr al-Baqillani was one of the formative theologians of the Ashari tradition and a major figure in the development of classical Sunni thought. In The Book of Fairness concerning What Must Be Believed and What It Is Impermissible Not to Know, he presents a concise but wide-ranging account of religious knowledge, the created world, divine unity and attributes, human action, faith, prophecy, the imamate, the Quran and divine speech, intercession, and seeing God in the hereafter.

This translation seeks to preserve al-Baqillani’s argumentative voice while making the work accessible to contemporary readers. An extensive introduction situates the author and the work within the development of early Ashari theology. Translated detailed contents, topical running heads, and a glossary of technical terms help readers follow the text without imposing new divisions upon it.

The volume offers students, researchers, and interested readers direct access to an important work of classical Islamic theology in clear, source-conscious English.
