Ashariyyah (Encyclopaedia Britannica)

Encyclopaedia Britannica

Encyclopaedia Britannica's reference entry on the Ashariyyah, the Sunni school of theology founded by Abu al-Hasan al-Ashari that mediated between Mutazili rationalism and traditionist anthropomorphism.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
2
Encyclopaedia Britannica's reference entry on the Ashariyyah, written and edited under the encyclopedia's own named editorial staff rather than an outside academic peer review process, hence the middle tier for a professionally edited general reference.
Notes
A general reference encyclopedia with editorial staff and a long institutional record, continuously revised rather than dated to a single print year. Reliable for the bila kayfa formula and its place between anthropomorphism and figurative reading.
