The Proof of God

The Proof of God stands out as a major contribution to Shi?i studies and, more broadly, to the understanding of Islam as a plural religious field. It is a powerfully structured interpretative work … The quality of the writing, the depth of the analyses, the rigor of the translations, and the breadth of the material make it an indispensable book. * Bulletin Critique des Annales Islamologiques [Bloomsbury translation] *
