For anyone with an interest in the early history of Islam, this
erudite anthology will prove to be informative and enlightening.
Scholars have long known that the text of the Koran shows evidence
of many influences from religious sources outside Islam. For
example, stories in the Koran about Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and
other characters from the Bible obviously come from the Jewish
Torah and the Christian Gospels. But there is also evidence of
borrowing in the Koran from more obscure literature.
In this anthology, the acclaimed critic of Islam Ibn Warraq has
assembled scholarly articles that delve into these unusual,
little-known sources. The contributors examine the connections
between pre-Islamic poetry and the text of the Koran; and they
explore similarities between various Muslim doctrines and ideas
found in the writings of the Ebionites, a Jewish Christian sect
that existed from the second to the fourth centuries. Also
considered is the influence of Coptic Christian literature on the
writing of the traditional biography of Muhammad.
