THE MAKING OF ISLAMIC THEOLOGY: CONFESSIONAL AND REGIONAL ASPECTS

Abstract

Abstract. Theology as a new discipline approved by the Higher Attestation Commission has a number of problems due to the lack of discipline in scientific field. One of its problems is the acquaintance with the regional component, which requires knowledge of ‘local’ material. It could prevent dissemination of radical religious ideas untypical for Russia from other countries. Forgotten names of religious philosophers, whether Muslim, Christian or Jewish, should be brought back to theology.
