"This volume offers a unique approach to the study of Ibn Taymiyyah, by offering an English translation of his fundamental political work, The Office of Islamic Government, and shorter collections from The Collected Fatwas and The Prophetic Way Against the Theology of the Shiites and Qadarites. The volume not only sheds light on fundamental primary source works, but also offers a theoretical analysis of Ibn Taymiyyah's thought and how his legal viewpoint can be reconciled with current trends in Islamic political thought"-- Provided by publisher.
