Daniel Lav is a lecturer in the Department of Arabic Language and Literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His research focuses on Islamic theology, with a particular emphasis on the salafi tradition of Sunni Islam. Salafi Political Theology continues the exploration of Salafī intellectual history begun in his previous book, Radical Islam and the Revival of Medieval Theology (Cambridge, 2012).
'A gamechanger in the field of Salafi studies. Lav's book brings a new level of philological and conceptual sophistication to the analysis of Salafi political theology, revealing the deep underlying connections between the exclusivist monotheism of premodern Salafism and the theopolitical doctrines of modern Salafis, including the jihadis among them.' Cole Bunzel, Hoover Institution, Stanford University 'Daniel Lav's Salafi Political Theology is by far the most authoritative work on the important religious movement labelled Salafi and its roots in premodern Islamic theology and intellectual history. This book reveals the connections between towering figures such as Ibn Taymiyya, Wahhabi scholars and the moderns who claim to be their descendants. Lav expertly unfolds their arguments, and in so doing traces their conceptual genealogies, both real and invented. No existing work does this in terms of textual rigor and analytical sophistication. This will be a work of reference for decades to come.' Bernard Haykel, Princeton University
