New arrival. Hussein Abdulsater’s major new book. Al-Jahiz as a theologian and social empiricist, and how that alters received 3/9th century intellectual history. It was a pleasure to edit this masterful work. edinburghuniversitypress.com/series-edinb...

For those who haven’t heard, I’m happy to say I’ve edited, annotated and introduced the first scholarly English version of Kitab al-tawhid, translated by Tahir Uluç. Our edition not only makes al-Maturidi’s theology accessible but allows his book to take its place as a classic of world literature.

My survey of "medieval" Islamic theology (history and themes) has been published by Routledge. Good for beginners, yet of interest to scholars too, and great for reading lists. The resource is not very accessible, so here you go: ramonharvey.com/wp-content/u...
