Politico-Theological Debates in Ghadames between the 1770s and the 1850s from a Global Perspective

Ghadames, strategically positioned between Morocco and the Ottoman Empire, served as a hub for politico-theological debates from the 1750s to the 1850s. The city's scholars adapted their stances in response to shifting regional power dynamics, leaving behind a rich corpus of written materials—chronicles, biographies, and letters—that reflect this intellectual engagement. Discourse analysis reveals persistent yet varied arguments, offering insights into the complex interplay between political authority and theological discourse during this period.
