The author traces the inception of this doctrine from ancient Greek texts, and also its interpretation and elaboration by Muslim philosophers in order to suit their vision of the Prophet.

Suitable for students and scholars, this title presents an introduction to one of the richest texts in the history of religious thought, Qur'an.

This volume constitutes a comprehensive history and analysis of Islam - its history, its conflicts, its legacy - and its prospects. It traces the development of Islam as a religion and as an intellectual tradition, offering an introduction to the faith and an argument for its future direction.
