description: The first translation of a central work of the great Arabic scholar, al-Ghazali, is being published as a time when interest in Arabic culture is growing by leaps and bounds. Moslems believe that a Renewer of the Faith appears at the beginning of each century. Because of his education and experience in law, theology, and philosophy, al-Ghazali was considered the Renewer for the sixth Islamic century. His writings, which provided helpful suggestions on improving the quality of human relationships, came at a time then the lands of Islam enjoyed a dynamically intellectual community. His work became an invaluable stimulus to Western thinkers and had a strong influence on the rebirth of Western civilization in the Middle Ages.
