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.

The contributions to this volume reflect the state of the art in the renewed discussion on the origin of language. Some of the most important specialists in the field - life scientists and linguists - primarily examine two aspects of the question: the origin of the language faculty and the evolution of the first language. At stake is the relation between nature and culture and between universality and historical particularity as well as cognition, communication, and the very essence of language.

The dozen studies, all but one written for the anthology, are arranged in sections according to their primary source and focus: history and Sirah , Sunnah and Hadith , Qur'an and Tafsir , and

The beginning of the Neolithic in Britain is a topic of perennial interest in archaeology, marking the end of a hunter-gatherer way of life with the introduction of domesticated plants and animals, pottery, polished stone tools, and a range of new kinds of monuments, including earthen long barrows and megalithic tombs. Every year, numerous new articles are published on different aspects of the topic, ranging from diet and subsistence economy to population movement, architecture,and seafaring. Thomas offers a treatment that synthesizes all of this material, presenting a coherent argument to exp

Why and under what circumstances did the religion of Islam emerge in a remote part of Arabia at the beginning of the seventh century? Traditional scholarship maintains that Islam developed in opposition to the idolatrous and polytheistic religion of the Arabs of Mecca and the surrounding regions. In this study of pre-Islamic Arabian religion, G. R. Hawting adopts a comparative religious perspective to suggest an alternative view. By examining the various bodies of evidence which survive from this period, the Koran and the vast resources of the Islamic tradition, the author argues that in fact Islam arose out of conflict with other monotheists whose beliefs and practices were judged to fall short of true monotheism and were, in consequence, attacked polemically as idolatry. The author is adept at unravelling the complexities of the source material, and students and scholars will find his argument both engaging and persuasive.

"Grande est ma joie de voir Pierre rejeter de toutes ses forces la thèse, d’origine augustinienne, selon laquelle Dieu n’aurait prédestiné que peu d’hommes et de femmes à la joie de L’avoir éternellement pour Père « plus grand que [leur] coeur » (1 Jn 3, 20), et répéter que la grâce n’est pas semblable à l’eau qui coule goutte à goutte d’un robinet mal fermé, mais à un torrent de montagne dont l’eau fraîche ne cesse de déborder les vasques qu’elle remplit en les faisant déborder, à leur tour, sur celles qui se trouvent plus bas dans la fracture de la paroi. […] Si l’Orient chrétien ne l’a jamais oublié, formé qu’il fut par les écrits de Grégoire de Nysse au IV e siècle ou de Maxime le Confesseur au VI e siècle, pour qui la réconciliation finale de tous était « la doctrine des parfaits », c’est cela qu’il faut réapprendre à l’Occident avec le pape François, à temps et à contretemps. […] L’orthodoxie véritable ne consiste pas à se crisper sur des mots, mais à tenir ce qu’ils désignent d’inouï, d’au-delà de leur signification familière. Et peu importe qu’il nous arrive de nous tromper de mot ici et là, lui dans son genre, moi dans le mien, pourvu que l’essentiel soit dit : que le Père du Ciel nous désire et nous aime outre mesure […] Que le souffle reçu par Pierre du Souffle de Dieu entraîne ses lecteurs plus loin que leurs horizons souvent brouillés par la peur !"--Résumé de l'éditeur.
