{"product_id":"9780520299603","title":"A Prophet Has Appeared : The Rise of Islam through Christian and Jewish Eyes, a Sourcebook","description":"\u003cp\u003eEarly Islam has emerged as a lively site of historical investigation, and scholars have challenged the traditional accounts of Islamic origins by drawing attention to the wealth of non-Islamic sources that describe the rise of Islam. A Prophet Has Appeared brings this approach to the classroom. This collection provides students and scholars with carefully selected, introduced, and annotated materials from non-Islamic sources dating to the early years of Islam. These can be read alone or alongside the Qur'an and later Islamic materials. Applying historical-critical analysis, the volume moves these invaluable sources to more equal footing with later Islamic narratives about Muhammad and the formation of his new religious movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded are new English translations of sources by twenty authors, originally written in not only Greek and Latin but also Syriac, Georgian, Armenian, Hebrew, and Arabic and spanning a geographic range from England to Egypt and Iran. Ideal for the classroom and personal library, this sourcebook provides readers with the tools to meaningfully approach a new, burgeoning area of Islamic studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52286560665911,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":514.71,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9780520299603-1.jpg?v=1784953644","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9780520299603","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
