The first detailed study of Islamic theodicy, the book points out distinctively Islamic formulations and solutions of the problem of the best of all possible worlds" and shows where they coincide with Western versions, such as that of Leibniz. Originally published in 1984.

These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
