This book offers a fresh appraisal of Muhammad that considers the
widest possible history of the ways in which Christians have
assessed his prophethood. To medieval Christian communities,
Muhammad-the leader of a religious and political community that
grew quickly and with relative success-was an enigma. Did God
really send him as a prophet with a revelation? Was the political
success of the community he founded a divine validation? Or were he
and his followers inspired by something evil? Despite their
attempts, modern Christians continued to be puzzled by Muhammad.
The Qur'an provided a framework for understanding and honouring
Jesus; was it possible for Christians to reciprocate with regard to
Muhammad? This book applies the same analysis to both medieval and
modern assessments of Muhammad, in order to demonstrate the
continuities and disparities present in literature from the two
eras.
