Based on epigraphic and other material evidence as well as more
traditional literary sources and critical review of the extensive
relevant scholarship, this book presents a comprehensive and
innovative reconstruction of the rise of Islam as a religion and
imperial polity. It reassesses the development of the imperial
monotheism of the New Rome, and considers the history of the Arabs
as an integral part of Late Antiquity, including Arab ethnogenesis
and the emergence of what was to become Muslim monotheism,
comparable with the emergence of other monotheisms from
polytheistic systems. Topics discussed include the emergence and
development of the Muhammadan polity and its new cultic deity and
associated ritual, the constitution of the Muslim canon, and the
development of early Islam as an imperial religion. Intended
principally for scholars of Late Antiquity, Islamic studies and the
history of religions, the book opens up many novel directions for
future research.
