Abstract:
The Kitab-i Aqdas was not intended to establish a new law code (shari'a) similar to the one known to 19th century Muslim jurisprudence, but rather to discard that approach to law in favor of a more organic promulgation of ethical principles.
Notes:
Presented at the Fifth Irfan Colloquium on Scriptural Studies, Wilmette, Illinois, 1995. Also posted at irfancolloquia.org/5/lee_wine.
