Philosophy in the Islamic world : a history of philosophy without any gaps, volume 3 by Peter AdamsonPublication Date: 2016-10-01
The book is divided into three sections, with the first looking at the first blossoming of Islamic theology and responses to the Greek philosophical tradition in the world of Arabic learning. The second part of the book discusses philosophy in Muslim Spain (Andalusia), where Jewish philosophers come to the fore. Finally, a third section looks at later developments, touching on philosophy in the Ottoman, Mughal, and Safavid empires and showing how thinkers in the nineteenth to the twentieth century were still concerned to respond to the ideas that had animated philosophy in the Islamic world for centuries.

The legend of the Middle Ages : philosophical explorations of medieval Christianity, Judaism, and IslamPublication Date: 2009-04-15
This volume presents a penetrating interview and sixteen essays that explore key intersections of medieval religion and philosophy. With characteristic erudition and insight, Brague focuses less on individual thinkers than on their relationships with one another. Their disparate philosophical worlds, Brague shows, were grounded in different models of revelation that engendered divergent interpretations of the ancient Greek sources they held in common.

Islamic Philosophy and the Ethics of Belief by Anthony Robert BoothPublication Date: 2016-08-05
In this book Booth argues that the philosophers of the Islamic Golden Age, are usefully interpreted through the prism of the contemporary, western ethics of belief. He contends that their position amounts to what he calls 'Moderate Evidentialism' - that only for the epistemic elite what one ought to believe is determined by one's evidence.

The History of Islamic TheologyPublication Date: 1999-05-01
Nagel delves deeply into Islamic history as he traces the development of Islamic doctrine. He explores the centrality of the Koran in Islamic theology and examines its canonization process and the central themes of its message. The work goes on to explore the relationships between such Islamic sects as the Sunni and the Shiite, and the two types of Islamic theological literature: the hadith, an oral report or story, and the ""kalam"", a genre that ""develops theological and metaphysical statements"".

The Formation of Islam by Jonathan P. Berkey; Patricia Crone (Contribution by)ISBN: 9780521582148
Publication Date: 2002-12-11
Jonathan Berkey surveys the religious history of the peoples of the Near East from approximately 600 to 1800 c.e. After examining the religious scene in the Near East in late antiquity, he investigates Islam's first century, the "classical" period from the accession of the Abbasids to the rise of the Buyid amirs. He then traces the emergence of new forms of Islam in the middle period, deftly showing how Islam emerged slowly as part of a prolonged process.

The Oxford Handbook of Islamic Philosophy by Khaled El-Rouayheb (Editor); Sabine Schmidtke (Editor)Publication Date: 2016-11-01
The study of Islamic philosophy has entered a new and exciting phase in the last few years. Both the received canon of Islamic philosophers and the narrative of the course of Islamic philosophy are in the process of being radically questioned and revised. Most twentieth-century Western scholarship on Arabic or Islamic philosophy has focused on the period from the ninth century to the twelfth. It is a measure of the transformation that is currently underway in the field that, unlike other reference works, the Oxford Handbook has striven to give roughly equal weight to every century, from the ninth to the twentieth.

Islamic Mystical Poetry by Mahmood JamalPublication Date: 2010-01-26
Written from the ninth to the twentieth century, these poems represent the peak of Islamic Mystical writing, from Rabia Basri to Mian Mohammad Baksh. Reflecting both private devotional love and the attempt to attain union with God and become absorbed into the Divine, many poems in this edition are imbued with the symbols and metaphors that develop many of the central ideas of Sufism; while others are more personal and echo the poet's battle to leave earthly love behind.

The Formation of Islam: religion and society in the Near East, 600-1800 by Jonathan P. Berkey; Patricia Crone (Contribution by)Publication Date: 2002-12-11
Jonathan Berkey's 2003 book surveys the religious history of the peoples of the Near East from roughly 600 to 1800 CE. Throughout, close attention is paid to the experiences of Jews and Christians, as well as Muslims. The book stresses that Islam did not appear all at once, but emerged slowly, as part of a prolonged process whereby it was differentiated from other religious traditions and, indeed, that much that we take as characteristic of Islam is in fact the product of the medieval period.
