The recent few decades have seen a growing number of studies on Maturidism. At the same time, revision and publication of writings of Maturidites are proceeding apace. This study reconsiders past and present studies regarding Maturidism and measures their scope and possible applications. Maturidism can be helpful in four categories of applied research. First, Maturidism should be reconsidered as a representative of the rationalistic tide in Sunni theology. Therefore, it could lead to the societal cultivation of common ethics that can be shared with non-Muslims who do not accept the same revelatory values that Muslims do. Second, studies in Maturidism may be applied to examine the internal and theoretical correlations between a legal madhhab and theological school, because Maturidism is strongly connected to the Hanafi school of law. Third, studies on Maturidism would be useful for reconsideration of the expansion process of Islam and development of thoughts in respective areas. Finally, Maturidism may be an undeniable factor in contemporary activities and issues, e.g., in da'wah activities in non-Muslim countries, and in the theological disputes between Salafism and traditional Sunni regime, i.e., Ash'ari-Maturidism. Studies of Maturidism may enrich the research perspectives of Islamic thought and Sunni speculative theology, adding a new element to the ongoing discussion of contemporary issues.
