Violence in Early Islam
Angebote / Angebote:
Deploying an interdisciplinary approach which combines the hermeneutical study of the early hadiths and the famous ?Verses of the Sword' within the Qur'an itself, with historical writing by Islamic and non-Islamic contemporary sources, numismatics, epigraphical and architectural evidence, this book questions the relationship between the religious concept of jihad and the conquests. It argues that Christian Arabs who previously fought against the Persians may have had a formative effect on the later emergence of more bellicose rhetoric, rather than any inherent warlike attitudes within Islamic doctrine, and reveals a more nuanced and complicated history of religious violence in the early Islamic period.
