Recenzii

This excellent survey of current scholarship in the field of Islamic Studies will prove useful to college students and also to their professors.
VERDICT: An excellent overview for advanced students and scholars pursuing research in the field of Islamic studies.
Bennett's superb opening essay delineates the history of Islamic studies from medieval translations and polemics to today's complex, multifaceted discipline...Readers will find useful gems, e.g., a straightforward academic guide to traditional hadith science, ways to analyze a kalam argument, and hypotheses about why Qur'an, Sufi studies, and other subfields today are distinct from previous generations...Written for graduate studies, this book will also be useful for faculty mentoring them or merely keeping up with multiple facets of the field. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and above.
