This is an excellent volume for those interested in classical Islamic scholastic thought. Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali is in many ways to orthodox Sunni Islamic thought what St. Thomas Aquinas was to Roman Catholic theological and philosophical thought. The translation is good, however I would not suggest this book to someone not already familiar with classical philosophical (both Greek and Islamic) arguments. For one already familiar with the writings and arguments of Plato, Aristotle, al-Farabi, and ibn Sina (Avicenna), will find this book as an invaluable intellectual and philosophical source.
