Reviews for Theology and Creed in Sunni Islam: The Muslim Brotherhood, Ash'arism, and Political Sunnism
“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)
