Paperback. Condition: New. Christopher Melchert proposes to historicize Islamic renunciant piety (zuhd). As the conquest period wound down in the early eighth century c.e., renunciants set out to maintain the contempt of worldly comfort and loyalty to a greater cause that had characterized the community of Muslims in the seventh… century. Instead of reckless endangerment on the battlefield, they cultivated intense fear of the Last Judgement to come. They spent nights weeping, reciting the Qur'an, and performing supererogatory ritual prayers. They stressed other-worldliness to the extent of minimizing good works in this world. Then the decline of tribute from the conquered peoples and conversion to Islam made it increasingly unfeasible for most Muslims to keep up any such régime. Professional differentiation also provoked increasing criticism of austerity. Finally, in the later ninth century, a form of Sufism emerged that would accommodate those willing and able to spend most of their time on religious devotions, those willing and able to spend their time on other religious pursuits such as law and hadith, and those unwilling or unable to do either.

Hardback. Condition: New. In this pioneering biography, 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 li…terally, rejecting any possibility for metaphorical or revisionist interpretation. Showing that even in his own lifetime, ibn Hanbal's followers were revising his doctrines in favour of a more commodious Islam, Melchert assesses the importance of ibn Hanbal's teachings and analyses their relevance in modern Sunni Islam.

Paperback. Condition: New. Scholars from Europe, the Middle East and North America explore medieval and modern approaches to the study of HadithExamining and exemplifying the latest methods and trends in Hadith Studies, this book treats scholarship from the early Middle Ages to the 21st century. It looks at how hadiths were tran…smitted and organised by Muslim scholars to give us the collections we use today, and how hadiths were used to define the life of pietyas well as to tell us the revealed law. Some chapters seek to overturn, refine or reaffirm dominant paradigms within the field. Others look to expand our horizons in new directions. Comprising studies from the Middle East, Europe and North America, this book makes a major contribution to a controversial and challenging field.
