Infos

The Christians that lived around the Arabian Peninsula during Muhammads lifetime are shrouded in mystery. Some of the stories of the Prophets interactions with them are based on legends and myths, while others are more authentic and plausible. But who exactly were these Christians? Why did Muhammad interact with them as he reportedly did? And what lessons can todays Christians and Muslims learn from these encounters?Scholar Craig Considine, one of the most powerful global voices speaking in admiration of the prophet of Islam, provides answers to these questions. Through a careful study of works by historians and theologians, he highlights an idea central to Muhammads vision: an inclusive Ummah, or Muslim nation, rooted in citizenship rights, interfaith dialogue, and freedom of conscience, religion and speech. In this unprecedented sociological analysis of one of historys most influential human beings, Considine offers groundbreaking insight that could redefine Christian and Muslim relations.
