This book surveys and analyzes Twelver Shiite relations with the Sunni legal establishment, comprising the four recognized Sunni legal schools, which the author defines as "Islamic Legal Orthdoxy.
"Meticulously and thoroughly referenced and will undoubtedly serve as a touchstone for future scholarship in the area." --Islamic Law and Society "The subject of the book is certainly an important one for a proper understanding of the evolution of Twelver Shiism and has so far not received sufficient attention in Islamic studies. Brings out new data and insights." --Journal of the American Oriental Society
