In Islam God is the sole ultimate lawgiver Given the absence of a living prophet all law worthy of the name must therefore be derived from texts that contain divine revelation or possess authority grounded in that revelation Classical Muslim jurisprudents regarded the effort to discover divine law through these texts exceedingly demanding since it required one to grapple with an enormous array of difficult textcritical and hermeneutic issues Although the Quran itself was considered above challenge other texts had to be subjected to rigorous tests of authenticity while the meaning of the texts Quranic and nonQuranic became a topic of intense debate Without an ecclesiastic institution vested with authority to proclaim correct interpretations the development of law through interpretation became a largely individualistic enterprise though imbued with a keen sense of communal responsibilityThe Search for Gods Law provides a comprehensive overview of Islamic theoretical jurisprudence as expounded in the writings of one of its greatest figures Sayf alDin alAmidi d 1233 Amidis influential Kitab alihkam fi usul alahkam represents a high point of Sunni legal thought culminating a long period of development and incorporating the thinking of rival scholars and earlier mastersUsing Amidis work Bernard Weiss explicates and discusses the various issues that define Islamic jurisprudence as an integrated system during the time of this important mainstream scholar The Search for Gods Law presents a lucid exposition of the relationship between sacred text and mundane law It is the most comprehensive treatment of Islamic jurisprudence yet to appear in a Western language
