A study of al-Ghazali, the eleventh-century theologian who abandoned a brilliant teaching career in Baghdad for years of mystic retirement. Zwemer sets him in his century, follows his education, teaching, conversion and withdrawal, and translates passages of his creed and ethics, including his teaching on God’s unity and the judgement.
Written by a leading Christian missionary to the Muslim world, its viewpoint is plain, but it remains a readable introduction to Ghazali. Download the free EPUB.
