This innovative study assesses Imam Shafi'i¿s life in its intellectual and social context, his engagement with other important early legal figures, and the development of his legal thought and teachings. It also examines how he became the posthumous patron saint of a legal school; and why he remains today a figure of popular interest and veneration as well as a powerful symbol of orthodoxy.
