What reading level is Development of Muslim Theology Jurisprudence And Constitutional Theory book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is an interesting but useless question whether Islam could ever have been broadened and devel- oped to the point of enduring in its midst free spec- ulation and research. As the case stands in history, it has known periods of intellectual life, but only under the protection of isolated princes here and there. It has had Augustan ages ; it has never had 153 154 THEOLOGY great popular yearnings after wider knowledge. Its intellectual leaders have lived and studied and lect- ured at courts ; th...ey have not gone down and taught the masses of the people. To that the democracy of Islam has never come. Hampered by scholastic snobbishness, it has never learned that the abiding victories of science are won in the village school.
But most unfortunately for the Mu'tazilites and for Islam, a Khalifa arose who had a relish for theological discussions and a high opinion of his own infallibil- ity. This was al-Ma'mun. It did not matter that he ranged himself on the progressive side ; his fatal error was that he invoked the authority of the state in matters of the intellectual and religious life.
