Brings together western and Middle Eastern scholars to explore medieval and modern approaches to the study of HadithExplores and analyses state-of-the-art scholarship in Hadith studies in Middle Eastern and Western contexts, covering a variety of approaches and methods to studying and evaluating the Hadith corpusAddresses several methodological issues and questions in evaluating Hadith reportsProvides a rich analysis of the global trends in Hadith studies, affording a broad understanding of the field and bringing together contributions from scholarly communities typically inaccessible to one anotherThis book is dedicated to examining the various methods and trends in Hadith Studies across the globe. Bringing together contributions from 10 scholars of Hadith, it addresses the subject from a variety of methodological vantage points and historical premises. It first looks at methods and approaches, and then presents five case studies focusing on specific questions and issues. Some of these authors seek to overturn, refine or reaffirm dominant paradigms within the field, while others look to expand its horizons in new directions. The global scope, and coverage of both longstanding debates and cutting edge methods and approaches, means this book will make a significant contribution to a controversial and challenging field.Notes on ContributorsBelal Abu-Alabbas, British Academy Newton International Fellow, University of Exeter, UK and Lecturer at Al-Azhar University, Egypt.Ali Aghaei, Postdoctoral Researcher, Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities Germany.
