In Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya and the Divine Attributes Miriam Ovadia offers a thorough discussion on the hermeneutical methodology applied in the theology of the Ḥanbalite traditionalistic scholar Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (d. 1350), the most prominent disciple of the renowned Ibn Taymiyya (d. 1328). Focusing on Ibn al-Qayyim's voluminous – yet so far understudied – work on anthropomorphism, al-Ṣawāʿiq al-Mursala, Ovadia explores his modus operandi in his attack on four fundamental rationalistic convictions, while demonstrating Ibn al-Qayyim's systemization of the Taymiyyan theological doctrine and theoretical discourse. Contextualizing al-Ṣawāʿiq with relevant writings of thinkers who preceded Ibn al-Qayyim, Ovadia unfolds his employment of Kalāmic terminology and argumentations; thus, his rationalized-traditionalistic authoring of a theological manifesto directed against his contemporary Ashʿarite elite of Mamluk Damascus.

"Die Arbeit Ovadias zeichnet sich, soweit es ihre Textanalysen betrifft, durch große Genauigkeit aus. Die Themen der Attributenlehre werden in ihren geistesgeschichtlichen Kontext gestellt, was auch bedeutet, dass die Autorin sich mit Werken anderer sunnitischer Theologen auseinandersetzen musste." Angelika Brodersen, in Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 114/4–5 (2019)
