Kitab al-Tawhid: The Book of Monotheism Vol.I-II (2 Volumes Set). Paperback - 2025
by Abu Mansur al-Maturidi (Translated by Tahir Uluc)
Istanbul: Ibn Haldun Universitesi, 2025. Paperback. New. In English. Translated by Tahir Uluc; edited with annotations and an introduction by Ramon Harvey. 696 p. 16x24 cm. Oneness (tawhid) is not only the outermost gate of entry to Islam, but also its deepest dimension because tawhid, which begins with accepting God as the only being worthy of worship, manifests itself in every aspect of existence. Abu Mansur al-Maturidi's (d. 333/944) masterpiece, Kitab al-tawhid, is perhaps the oldest work available that deals with this comprehensive understanding of tawhid in Islam and traces it in all aspects of existence. Al-Maturidi is important first and foremost due to his status as the eponym of one of the two main schools of Sunn_ kal_m. The Maturidi tradition is a theological articulation of the _anaf_ school of ethics and law, itself one of the oldest and largest such schools in the Muslim world. But al-Maturidi also has a wider significance, reflecting the depth and subtlety of his theological and philosophical ideas, as well as the coherence of the resultant system. This elevates him to sit among both the great theologians of the Islamic tradition, and the great philosophers of religion. An English translation of al-Maturidi's Kitab al-Tawhid is a debt owed not just to the field of Islamic studies, but to the global Muslim community (umma), and ultimately world literature.

Transcendent God, Rational World: A Maturidi Theology (Edinburgh Studies in Islamic Scripture and Theology) 1st Edition
by
Ramon Harvey (Author)
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. Combining rigorous study of Arabic Māturīdī texts with insights from Husserl’s phenomenology and analytic theology, Harvey explores themes from epistemology and metaphysics to the nature of God and specific divine attributes (omniscience and wisdom, creative action, divine speech and the Qur’an). His systematic treatment of these topics shows that a contemporary Muslim philosophical theology, or kalām jadīd, can be true to the past, yet dynamic in the present, and can provide original and constructive answers to perennial theological questions.
