Books by Hussein Ali Abdulsater

A study of a little-known author al-Shar?f al-Murta?? whose views are still a major influence for Shi?i Muslims.

This book presents the contribution of al-Sharif al-Murtada (d. 1044) of Baghdad, the thinker whose views still remain central to Imami identity. It analyzes his intellectual project and establishes the dynamic context which prompted him to pour the old wine of Shi'i doctrine into the new wineskin of systematic Mu'tazili theology.
