Summary
Summary
The jurist-theologian Mawardi (d.1058) was the first Muslim scholar to study systematically the relationship between Islamic revelation and political power. His classic work on the Caliphate is the basis of all subsequent writings on the topic and even today is used in the framing of Islamic constitutions. This book explains the importance of Mawardi's influential writings and gives a fresh interpretation of the man and his thought.
