Gabriel Said Reynolds tells the story of Islam in this brief illustrated survey, beginning with Muhammad’s early life and rise to power, then tracing the origins and development of the Quran juxtaposed with biblical literature, and concluding with an overview of modern and fundamentalist narratives of the origin of Islam. Reynolds offers a fascinating look at the structure and meaning of the Qur’an, revealing the ways in which biblical language is used to advance the Qur’an’s religious meaning. Reynolds’ analysis identifies the motives that shaped each narrativeIslamic, Jewish, and Christian. The books conclusion yields a rich understanding of diverse interpretations of Islams emergence, suggesting that its emergence is itself ever-developing.

Review

“Reynolds’ book is a lucidly written and unique contribution to the study of Islam. By highlighting scholarly perspectives on Muhammad and the Qur’an in an accessible and well-researched manner, Reynolds has provided students and general readers with a remarkable resource. The extension of his insights to the implications of the material for Muslim discussions about their faith in contemporary times provides a stimulating introduction to the relevance of history to today’s world.” –Andrew Rippin, University of Victoria

Some reviewers have expressed concerns about the binding. I have accordingly worked with the publisher on this and the binding quality has been substantially improved. We have also improved the image quality of the maps. Thanks! gsr
