Description
The Bloomsbury Companion to Islamic Studies is a comprehensive one volume reference guide to Islam and study in this area. A team of leading international scholars - Muslim and non-Muslim - cover important aspects of study in the field, providing readers with a complete and accessible source of information to the wide range of methodologies and theoretical principles involved. Presenting Islam as a variegated tradition, key essays from the contributors demonstrate how it is subject to different interpretations, with no single version privileged. In this volume, Islam is treated as a lived experience, not only as theoretical ideal or textual tradition.
Featuring a series of indispensable research tools, including a substantial A-Z of key terms and concepts, chronology and a detailed list of resources, this is the essential reference guide for anyone working in Islamic Studies.

VERDICT: An excellent overview for advanced students and scholars pursuing research in the field of Islamic studies.
Amanda K. Sprochi, Univ. of Missouri-Columbia, Library Journal
-
Bennett's superb opening essay delineates the history of Islamic studies from medieval translations and polemics to today's complex, multifaceted discipline...Readers will find useful gems, e.g., a straightforward academic guide to traditional hadith science, ways to analyze a kalam argument, and hypotheses about why Qur'an, Sufi studies, and other subfields today are distinct from previous generations...Written for graduate studies, this book will also be useful for faculty mentoring them or merely keeping up with multiple facets of the field. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and above.
S. Ward, University of Wyoming, CHOICE
