Through; unbiased and easy to understandBy Ensar DemirkanAs a practicing Sunni Muslim and a high caliber Hadith scholar; who has tremendous respect for the roots of Hadith and scholars of the past; Prof. Brown managed to bring forth an unbiased and unparalleled work explaining not only Sunni Hadith tradition but also Shia understanding of this science. He also looks at the Hadith criticism from all possible and valid angles; such as traditional Sunni; Shia; Orientalist; modernist revivalist Muslims; the "Only Qur'an" movement etc. While doing this; he is meticulous; impartial and through. I benefited a lot from this book and I recommend it highly..3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
