Wolfson describes the body of doctrine known as the Kalam. Kalam, an Arabic term meaning “speech†and hence “discussion,†was applied to early attempts in Islam to adduce philosophic proofs for religious beliefs. It later came to designate a system of religious philosophy which reached its highest point in the eleventh century.
