A Muslim Theologian in the Sectarian Milieu

"In this examination of an extraordinary Islamic anti-Christian polemic, the author describes Qadi 'Abd al-Jabbar's life (d.415/1025), his intellectual heritage and the sectarian controversy of his day. Thus the reader will discover how, and why, a Muslim theologian reinterpreted Christian scripture, history and practice to develop an Islamic doctrine of Christianity."--Jacket.
