Followers of Muhammad b. 'Abd al-Wahhab, often considered to be
Islam's Martin Luther, shaped the political and religious identity
of the Saudi state while also enabling the significant worldwide
expansion of Salafist Islam. Studies of the movement he inspired,
however, have often been limited by scholars' insufficient access
to key sources within Saudi Arabia. Nabil Mouline was granted rare
interviews and admittance to important Saudi archives in
preparation for this groundbreaking book, the first in-depth study
of the Wahhabi religious movement from its founding to the modern
day. Gleaning information from both written and oral sources and
employing a multidisciplinary approach that combines history,
sociology, and Islamic studies, Mouline presents a new reading of
this movement that transcends the usual resort to polemics.
