Abstract

104 Book Reviews them. Scholars from outside Islamic Studies may find the work too laden with Arabic for the argument to be appreciated. Taken as a whole, the work will find a deserved place amongst the growing historiography of early Islam that seeks to study its “sacred history” in the same critical manner as early Christianity and Judaism.
