Why I wrote Islam and Evolution: Al-Ghazālī and the Modern Evolutionary Paradigm

Bu yazıda Dr. Shoaib Ahmad Malik, ""Islam and Evolution: Al-Ghazālī and the Modern Evolutionary Paradigm" adlı eserini yazmasına neden olan amaç ve motivasyonlara ilişkin açıklamalar yapmaktadır.

Dear editor of KADER. I am writing this letter both to congratulate you on your first issue to be published in English and to give you information about my new book called Islam and Evolution: Al-Ghazālī and the Modern Evolutionary Paradigm. It is the first book written from an Islamic perspective that is published with Routledge’s Science and Religion series. More specifically, it analyses the discussion of evolution through the lens of Islamic scholastic theology (kalām). I know that KADER occupies a very important space in kalām in Turkey, and it is why I hope you will find this to be a helpful addition in your first issue in English, which I hope will globally contribute to the studies in İslamic thought in general and the field of kalām in particular.
