What reading level is Development of Muslim Theology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

God must, therefore, be in a place and thus limited. So they were compelled to reject the agreement and the tra- ditions in question and to explain away the passages in the Qur'an. Similarly, in Qur'an vii. 52, we read that God settled Himself firmly upon His throne. This, with other anthropomorphisms of hands and feet and eyes, the Mu'tazilites had to explain away in a more or less cumbrous fashion.
With one other detail of this class we must deal at greater length. It was destined to be the v
...ital point of the whole Mu'tazilite controversy and the test 146 THEOLOGY by wliich theologians were tried and liad their places assigned. It had a weighty part also in bringing about the fall of the Mu'tazilites. There had grown up very early in the Muslim community an un- bounded reverence and awe in the presence of the Qur'an. In it God speaks, addressing His servant, the Prophet ; the words, with few exceptions, are direct words of God. It is, therefore, easily intelli- gible that it came to be called the word of God (kalam Allah).
