The Akhb?r? School dominated the intellectual landscape of Im?m? Shi?ism between the Seventeenth and early Nineteenth Centuries. Its principal doctrines involved a reliance on scripture (primarily the sayings or akhb?r of the Shi?ite Imams) and a rejection of the rational exegetical techniques which had become orthodox doctrine in Im?m? theology and law. However, the Akhb?r?s were not simple literalists, as they are at times portrayed in secondary literature. They developed a complex theory of exegesis in which texts could be interpreted, whilst at the same time remaining doggedly committed to the ability of the revelatory texts to provide answers to theological and legal questions arising within the Sh??? community. This book is the first in-depth study of the intellectual development and historical influence of the Akhb?r? School.

Scripturalist Islam
This excellent little book from one of my seminary professors (so yeah, I'm biased) is really helpful. Casillas explains how to understand the relationship of the Old Testament Law to the New Covenant era and how to interpret it in its light. But I also found myself grateful that he expresses the tension and difficulty that I feel when I try apprehensively to preach the Law today. The author takes you under his wing and says, "I get your dilemma; let me show you what helps me." He lays out several pitfalls to avoid and guidelines to follow without being unnecessarily negative toward any one system of theology. I read The Law and the Christian in full a couple of years ago, and I find myself going back to it as a reference work and feeling refreshed.
