Biography
Stephen Burge is a Research Associate at the Institute of Ismaili Studies. His main areas of research are in the life and works of al-Suyūtī, hadīth studies, tafsīr and angelology.
"In summary, Burge’s work provides readers with a well-written and well-researched presentation of the function of angels in Islamic theology. His book and translation have the potential to become a standard work on angels in Islamic theology and history."
