Transcendent God, Rational World

In "Transcendent God, Rational World," author Ramon Harvey engages with the ideas of the influential Muslim theologian Abū Manṣūr al-Māturīdī, who passed away in 333/944. Published by Edinburgh University Press in 2023, this captivating book spans 296 pages and delves into the philosophical depths of the Māturīdī school.

This work not only brings to light the richness of Islamic theology but also invites readers to explore the dynamic interplay between tradition and modernity. Perfect for those seeking an insightful discussion on faith and reason, "Transcendent God, Rational World" is an essential addition to any philosophical or theological library.
