Abstract

This dissertation seeks to make a critical assessment of the Muslim doctrine of taḥrīf (the charge that the Jews and Christians corrupted their divine scriptures) via its most vociferous protagonist, the Spanish Muslim scholar, Abū Muhammad 'Ali Ibn Hazm (d.1064). The dissertation uses Ibn Hazm's monumental five volume work, al-Fizal Fī al-Milal Wa al-Ahwā Wa al-Ni~al (An Analysis of World Religious Communities, Ideologies and Sects) as the primary source of reference. It consists of an introduction of four chapters and a conclusion.
