Al-Māturīdī (d. 944 CE), the prominent Hanafi scholar from Samarqand, succeeded in formulating a theological doctrine which is widely accepted in Sunni Islam to this day. The present volume which is a revised English translation of the German original published in 1997 examines his teachings by describing their principal characteristics and situating them in the history of kalām.Part one investigates the development of Hanafi thought in Transoxania before Māturīdī's time. Part two deals with the other religious groups (in particular the Mu'tazilites) which emerged in this area during his lifetime. Part three shows how he explained and defended the position of his predecessors; in doing so, he reformed their traditional views, thereby developing his own theology which then became the basis of a new tradition, viz. the Māturīdite school.

"Rudolph's most important contribution in this monograph - besides a compelling portrait of Māturīdī - is to draw attention to the highly localised nature of early Islamic theology and the extent to which participants in a theological tradition can re-imagine its past to serve particular ends. As such, it is of use to anyone working in the history of ideas, where questions of influence and legacy are of prime importqance - not to mention Islamicists working on the formative period."Omar Anchassi in Journal of Shi‘a Islamic Studies, Autumn 2015, Vol. VIII, No. 4."Rudolph’s work successfully presents the development of the Ḥanafite theological tradition and al-Māturīdī’s unique position within it."Muammer İskenderoğlu in Islam and Christian–Muslim Relations, 4 December 2015.
