Blake Archer Williams

Blake Archer Williams is an American writer and translator who was born to an atheist/ Christian family, but entered into Islam after undergoing a profoundly transformative religious experience.

Mr. Williams’ work is mainly focused on the creedal beliefs of Shi‘a Islam, and especially on the rational and scriptural bases of the belief in the integrality of religion and state, or, looked at from an emic, religious perspective, on the belief in the unicity and exclusivity (tawhid) of God’s providential lordship (rububiat), and its integrality (again, tawhid) with the rest of His creation, and the implications of this to statecraft within a legitimately constituted (or divinely sanctioned) political order.
