Reviews

'Aziz Al-Azmeh starts his excellent new book by modestly describing it as an extended essay in historical interpretation' ... but in reality this is a truly massive analysis of the origins of early Islam that will challenge many contemporary assumptions ... This intriguing and engaging book is a welcome addition to academia. Intended primarily for postgraduate scholars of Islam, religion and Late Antiquity, this monograph suggests many exciting new directions for future studies and empirical research.' Abdullah Drury, Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations
