Copied from talk page on wikipedia from where the artilce originated and was (almost all) deleted
Copied from talk page on wikipedia from where the article originated and was (almost all) deleted for its excessive length. While the length may be against Wikipedia policies I hope that (as it says below) of use to students of Ibn Abdul-Wahhab and Islam in general. I should note that while some may find the article less than complimentary of Ibn Abdul-Wahhab or  Natana J. DeLong-Bas or wahhabism, it is ''not'' written as part of an effort to debunk Islam. --[[User:JoeTheOfficeDrone|JoeTheOfficeDrone]] ([[User talk:JoeTheOfficeDrone|talk]]) 21:02, 4 April 2018 (EDT)

==Explanatory notes==
I realize this is an unusually long article especially for a relatively obscure book. I've gone to all this trouble because DeLong-Bas's work is somewhat unique in being of basic considerable interest to anyone studying Ibn Abdul-Wahhab, but ummm ... not an easy read. So I thought going over the main points of the book -- as opposed a few paragraphs of description -- might provide a cliffsNotes "I read it so you won't have to" service.
