Classical Islamic Theology: The Ash`arites

This is the third of three volumes reprinting the collected papers on Islamic subjects by Richard M. Frank. The present volume on the Ash`arites and the classical Ash`arite tradition brings together articles written in the last two decades of Richard Frank's scholarly activity which represent his mature thought on the main philosophical and doctrinal elements of that tradition. This body of work forms the vanguard of modern studies on the subject and will repay repeated and prolonged study.
