Название: The Emergence of Islam in Late Antiquity: Allah and His People Автор: Aziz Al-Azmeh Издательство: New York: Cambridge University Press Год: 2014 Формат: pdf Страниц: 654 Размер: 11,3 mb Язык: English
Text reassesses the development of the imperial monotheism of the New Rome, and considers the history of the Arabs as an integral part of Late Antiquity, including Arab ethnogenesis and the emergence of what was to become Muslim monotheism, comparable with the emergence of other monotheisms from polytheistic systems. Topics discussed include the emergence and development of the Muhammadan polity and its new cultic deity and associated ritual, the constitution of the Muslim canon, and the development of early Islam as an imperial religion.
Intended principally for scholars of Late Antiquity, Islamic studies and the history of religions, the book opens up many novel directions for future research.
