Islamic thought has long debated questions of justice, governance, virtue, power, and sovereignty, both human and divine. Despite this rich legacy, the burgeoning field of political theology has yet to engage in sufficient depth with Muslim thinkers or Islamic categories. This edited volume offers a much needed intervention, showing both how Muslim thinkers from the classical periods to the modern day offer vital insights for the study of political theology and also how the methods of political theology aid our understanding of Islamic political thought.
