A theoretically rich, nuanced history of Islam and Islamic
civilization with a unique sociological component This major new
reference work offers a complete historical and theoretically
informed view of Islam as both a religion and a sociocultural
force. Uniquely comprehensive, it surveys and discusses the
transformation of Muslim societies in different eras and various
regions, providing a broad narrative of the historical development
of Islamic civilization. This text explores the complex and varied
history of the religion and its traditions. It provides an in-depth
study of the diverse ways through which the religious dimension at
the core of Islamic traditions has led to a distinctive type of
civilizational process in history. The book illuminates the ways in
which various historical forces have converged and crystallized in
institutional forms at a variety of levels, embracing social,
religious, legal, political, cultural, and civic dimensions.
Together, the team of internationally renowned scholars move from
the genesis of a new social order in 7th-century Arabia, right up
to the rise of revolutionary Islamist currents in the 20th century
and the varied ways in which Islam has grown and continues to
pervade daily life in the Middle East and beyond. This book is
essential reading for students and academics in a wide range of
fields, including sociology, history, law, and political science.
It will also appeal to general readers with an interest in the
history of one of the world's great religions.
