Rezensionen

"Halverson's book is first and foremost a critique of the antirationalist, creed-centered Athari theological school of thought and its arguable dominance within the Sunni theological debate since the fifteenth century. ... The target audience is primarily students in religious studies already familiar with the basic Sunni doctrines." (Emin Poljarevic, Religious Studies Review, Vol. 42 (2), June, 2016)
