by Fred M. Donner

$1,200 · Offered by eBay

Geared towards a popular audience, Muhammad and the Believers is Donner's concise encapsulation of his thinking about what really was happening when Islam mysteriously emerged forcefully from the Arabian peninsula. In this revisionist study, Donner's main point is that initially Islam was seen by its members as a not entirely distinct religion. Gradually though, the believers (Mu'iminum) became known as Muslims, especially in the period following the redaction of the Qur'an and several other important historical markers that happened in the decades following Muhammad's death. Highly recommended. Condition: Very Good, pen underlining on one page. ISBN: 9780674064140
