Abduh was an Egyptian jurist, religious scholar, theologian, and reformer of Al-Azhar--Egypt's oldest university and a renowned seat of Islamic learning--who died in 1905. His impact on modern Islam cannot be overstated. In fact, much of modern Muslim thought has, in one way or another, been a reaction to his ideas. Although he is the subject of numerous English studies, only one treatise of his has been translated into English: \u003ci\u003eRisalat al-tawhid\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eTheology of Unity\u003c\/i\u003e) by Ishaq Masaad and Kenneth Cragg, in 1966. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Far too little attention has been paid to the treatise translated here and its impact on the Islamic theology of Christianity. This first English translation fills a serious gap in the genre of Islam and Christian-Muslim relations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMuhammad Abduh\u003c\/b\u003e (1849-1905) was a religious scholar, jurist, and liberal reformer, who led the late nineteenth-century movement in Egypt and other Muslim countries to revitalize Islamic teachings and institutions in the modern world. As mufti (Islamic legal counselor) for Egypt, he effected reforms in Islamic law, administration, and higher education and, although resisted by conservatives, broke the rigidity of Muslim ritual, dogma, and family ties. His writings include \u003ci\u003eTreatise on the Oneness of God\u003c\/i\u003e and a commentary on the Quran. \u003cb\u003eMohamed Gamal Abdelnour\u003c\/b\u003e is a faculty member at Al-Azhar University (Cairo) and a research fellow at the Department of Philosophy, University of York, United Kingdom.
