Reviews

A new academic work on Sunna is welcome, in order to update researchers and readers on current debates on Sunna and Hadith. ... the book offers access to a wide range of conceptions of Sunna among legal theorists, jurists, theologians and traditionalists. ... this book has its place in Sunna studies, and should be useful for teachers, students and researchers in Islamic studies. (Abdessamad Belhaj, Islam and Christian-Muslim relations, Vol. 28 (3), 2017)
