The Emergence of Islam, 2nd Edition
Classical Traditions in Contemporary Perspective

Gabriel Said Reynolds

 

 

 

 

Now in an updated second edition, 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 Qur’an 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 narrative–Islamic, Jewish, and Christian. The book’s conclusion yields a rich understanding of diverse interpretations of Islam’s emergence, suggesting that its emergence is itself ever-developing.
