Présentation de l'éditeur
Are jihadists dying for a fiction? Everything you thought you knew about Islam is about to change.
In Did Muhammad Exist? best-selling author Robert Spencer meticulously examines historical records, archaeological findings, and pioneering new scholarship to reconstruct what can be known about Muhammad, the Quran, and the early days of Islam. He uncovers evidence that calls into question fundamental assumptions made even by non-Muslims.
- Did Muhammad Exist? reveals:
- The earliest biographical material about Muhammad dates from 150 years after the traditional date of his death.
- Neither the Arab conquerors of the seventh century nor the people they conquered made any mention of Muhammad, the Quran, or Islam for fully six decades.
- Recent scholarship indicating that the Quran was constructed from existing materialsincluding a pre-Islamic Christian text.
- Numerous archaeological indications that Islam as a religion was fashioned for political reasons.
Far from an anti-Islamic polemic, Did Muhammad Exist? is a sober and unflinching look at the origins of one of the worlds major religions. While Judaism and Christianity have been subjected to searching historical criticism for more than two centuries, Islam has, astonishingly, never received the same treatment on any significant scale. In bringing to light the latest scholarship on Muhammad and Islam, Robert Spencer raises questions of global consequence.

Hard cover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. "Is there any sound historical evidence that the prophet of Islam actually existed, or is the entire story of Muhammad fable or fiction? It is a question that few have thought?or dared?to ask. Virtually everyone, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, takes for granted that the prophet of Islam lived as a prophet, as well as a political and military leader, in seventh-century Arabia. But this widely accepted story begins to crumble on close examination. In his blockbuster New York Times bestseller The Truth about Muhammad, historian and Islam expert Robert Spencer revealed the often shocking contents of Islamic teachings about Muhammad. Now, in this newly revised and expanded version of Did Muhammad Exist?, he lays bare those teachings? surprisingly shaky historical foundations. This updated and enlarged version of this acclaimed book examines even more striking and compelling evidence that the story of Muhammad, who for so long was assumed to have lived in the ?full light of history,? could be more myth and legend than historical fact. Spencer meticulously examines historical records and archaeological findings, pioneering new scholarship to reconstruct what we can know about Muhammad, the Qur?an, and the early days of Islam. The evidence he presents challenges the most fundamental assumptions about Islam?s origins ". Signed by Author. N° de réf. du vendeur SKU2010030417
