William Patton, Ahmed ibn Hanbal and the Mihna (1897)
John Nawas is Professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Leuven, Belgium. His research centres on the religio-political and social history
Nawas makes a compelling and eloquent argument that requires our
attention. To begin understanding the minha, one must start here.
The editors of the series are to be commended for their efforts to
gain the larger audience that is its due.
