BOOK REVIEWS 321 Sabine Schmidtke, ed. The Oxford Handbook of Islamic Theology. New York, NY: Oxford University Press, 2016. Pp. xi+815. Hardcover. ISBN: 9780199696703. Price: Not listed. Since the publication of her The Theology of al-'All┐ma al-╓ill┘ in 1991 (later translated into Persian and published in Iran), Sabine Schmidtke earned remarkable fame in the field of Islamic theology, philosophy, and history. As the editor of the book under review which is a collection of forty-one different articles by thirty-seven eminent scholars, she once again demonstrated how it was possible to remain consistent, both in approach and style, in such a comprehensive and detailed work. Divided into five parts in a diachronic order, this book is an excellent example of Western perspectives on the intellectual history of Islamic theology, albeit only for experts. Additionally, it also sheds light on the academic interchange between Jews, Christians, and Muslims (chapters five and thirty one). Not to mention the article (chapter six) written by late Patricia Crone (d. 2015) on Dahr┘s and Zind┘qs. Theology, if explained in its traditional Christian context, is a branch of knowledge that attempts to present a critical study of the nature of divine both from the viewpoint of reason and revelation. 1 Perhaps the most appropriate equivalent for this term, in Arabic, is il┐hiyy┐t, an Islamic science that deals with everything related to God whether these are His attributes, names, or actions. The word "theology" is often used as an equivalent of 'ilm al-kal┐m (the science of dialect) too. However, as this handbook also explains, the task of kal┐m is not limited to theology. It deals with the non-theological areas such as epistemology and physics (p. 29) as well. Thus, rather than defining theology in a narrow sense, this book uses it the other way around and attempts "to cover the doctrinal thought of all the various intellectual strands of Islam that were engaged with theological concerns" (p. 1).
Critical Research on Religion.
Ahmad, Irfan. 2019. "Reply to Anidjar, Fernando, Lawrence, and Moumtaz." Critical Research on Religion. 7(2): 1-82019 •
The journal "Critical Research on Religion" organized a symposium on my book "Religion as Critique: Islamic Critical Thinking from Mecca to the Marketplace" (University of North Carolina Press, 2017). Introduced by Yunus Dogan Telliel, the symposium participants include Gil Anidjar, Mayanthi Fernando, Bruce Lawrence and Nada Moumtaz who offer immanent, rich, critical observations. Here is my response to their commentaries. Issues discussed include, inter alia, notions of time in modernity (Foucault, Hegel, Kant and others) and Islam, cultural translation, usefulness of the term bahas (debate) over naqd (critique), ideas of adab and comparison of my book and Shahab Ahmed's What is Islam?

Intellectual and Spiritual Debates in Islam: A Comprehensive Guide to Islamic Discourse’s Intellectual Origins
Intellectual and Spiritual Debates in Islam: A Comprehensive Guide to Islamic Discourse’s Intellectual Origins2013 •
This Ebook is a compilation of my previous lectures delivered under the title "Islamic Science and its Relationship to Faith" at the Catholic University of America. While serving as a concise introduction to the Sunnah and Quranic exegeses, the Ebook's core purpose lies in offering a comprehensive exploration of the diverse dimensions of ulum al-aqliya in Islam, spanning from its inception to the contemporary era. It consists of seven chapters as follow: The Quran and Sunnah, Islamic Theology (Kalam), Islamic Ethics (Akhlaq) and Practical Wisdom, Islamic spirituality and Gnosticism (Sufism), Islamic Philosophy (Hikmah), Islamic Jurisprudence and Its Principles (Shariah), and Islamic Politics (Siyasah). This encompassing view incorporates perspectives from both the Sunni and Shia traditions. The Ebook is primarily designed to equip specialists with a comprehensive understanding of Islamic intellectualism, while also ensuring that individuals without specialized knowledge can readily grasp insights from each academic domain.
