Asalaamu Alaikum,

inshallah I'd like to write a paper (10-20 pages) on the different approaches to "anthropomorphic" phrases in the qur'an/hadith--nothing too serious, just something good to apply to grad school with. Can anyone recommend any good books or academic articles on this topic--whether arguing for a particular side, or giving an overview of different approaches. I'd appreciate works by BOTH traditional Muslim scholars as well as academics (Muslim or not). JazakumAllahu khair!
