RIPPIN, A. MUSLIMS. THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTICES, 1: THE FORMATIVE PERIOD . LONDON, 1991, xviii 155 p.,figuras. Encuadernacion original. Nuevo.
This volume seeks to redress the lack of critical thought that appears in so many introductory textbooks on Islam. Andrew Rippin examines the elements which come together to form Islam, in particular the Qur'an and the traditions from Muhammad. He traces the way in which these sources have interacted through history to create the disciplines of theology and law as well as providing the basis for the 'alternative visions' of Islam found in Shi'ism and Sufism. With a combination of well-documented source material, recent research in the field and thorough critical analysis, Andrew Rippin provides an introduction to this important and frequently misunderstood religious group in a concise, challenging and refreshing way. This will be an invaluable introduction to the subject for students and teachers alike.
