Description
A Reader on Classical Islam by Francis E. Peters presents a substantial body of literary evidence from Islamic texts, offering insight into the bases of Muslim faith and the breadth and depth of Islamic religious culture. Through extensive passages from Islamic texts combined with his own commentary, Peters enables readers to grasp the voices of Muslims engaged in discourse with their God and with each other - historians, lawyers, mystics, and theologians. This collection draws on the works of great masters, enriching our understanding of the community of "those who have submitted" and their imposing religious and political culture. By exploring Islamic texts in their own words, Peters provides a unique perspective on the development of Islam and its enduring legacy, making this book an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of Muslim faith.
