"Investigating a wide range of sources and viewpoints, this pioneering study profiles Ibn Hanbal's life, work, theology, and extensive collection of hadith, yet presupposes little specialist knowledge. Examining the fact that even during his lifetime, his followers were revising his doctrines in favour of a more commodious Islam, it questions whether Ibn Hanbal has been misrepresented, and offers an insightful introduction to one of the founders of Sunni Islam.".
