The Idea of Idolatry and the Emergence of Islam: From Polemic to History - Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization
Hawting, G. R. (School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London)
Hawting challenges the traditional view that Islam developed in opposition to idolatry in pre-Islamic Arabia arguing that Islam arose in opposition to other forms of monotheism. The author is adept at unravelling the complexities of his material, and readers will find the argument engaging and persuasive.
