This book offers a scholarly exploration of how early Muslim theologians and philosophers grappled with concepts such as God's oneness, power, knowledge, and will, examining the diverse schools of thought that emerged—from the Mu'tazilites to the Ash'arites. Pretzl meticulously analyzes primary sources, providing invaluable insights into the development of Islamic scholastic theology (kalam) and its intellectual responses to complex metaphysical questions, making it an essential read for scholars of Islamic studies and intellectual history.
