The Philosophy of the Kalam by Harry Austryn Wolfson

Wolfson describes the body of doctrine known as the Kalam. Kalam, an Arabic term meaning speech and hence discussion, was applied to early attempts in Islam to adduce philosophic proofs for religious beliefs. It later came to designate a system of religious philosophy which reached its highest point in the eleventh century.
Harry Austryn Wolfson was Nathan Littauer Professor of Hebrew Literature and Philosophy, Emeritus, Harvard University.
