A Prophet Has Appeared
2021
Overview
Early 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.
Included 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.
