Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Makers of the Muslim World)
Ahmad Ibn Hanbal Makers Of The Muslim World
Product Type: Abis Book
Brand: Oneworld Publications
Christopher Melchert examines the forefather of the fourth of the four principal Sunni schools of jurisprudence, the Hanbali. Upholding the view that the Qur'an was uncreated and the direct word of God, Ahmad ibn Hanbal (780-855) thought that the holy text should be read literally, rejecting any possibility for metaphorical or revisionist interpretation. Melchert assesses the importance of ibn Hanbal's teachings and analyses their relevance in modern Sunni Islam.
