Summary
Ramon Harvey revisits the Muslim theologian Abū Manṣūr al-Māturīdī (d. 333⁄944) from Samarqand and puts his system, and that of the Māturīdī school, into lively dialogue with modern thought.

Critics Review
Harvey’sTranscendent God, Rational World shows incredible facility in the nuances of Islamic theology and philosophy and argues for the unique—and overlooked—contribution of al-Māturīdī and his later interpreters. By engaging with this original source material and bringing this tradition into dialogue with contemporary philosophy of religion, Harvey makes important contribution to Islamic Studies, philosophical theology, and the history of Islamic intellectual thought on reason, revelation, proofs of God’s existence, and the divine attributes. What is even more exciting is how Harvey draws on this rich legacy to argue for the revival of Islamic theology in the 21st Century. – Dr. Joshua Ralston, Reader in Christian-Muslim Relations, University of Edinburgh
