The Emergence of Islam: Classical Tradtion in Contemporary Perspective

This brief survey text tells the story of Islam. Gabriel Said Reynolds organizes his study in three parts in order to tell of Muhammadâ€™s early life and rise to power, of the origins and development of the Qurâ€™an, with a distinctive, if unique, juxtaposition between the Qurâ€™an and biblical literature, and concluding with an overview of modern and fundamentalist narratives of Islamâ€™s origin, which reveals how those who represent Islamâ€™s future begin by shaping its past.
