How did Islam arise from the obscurity of seventh century Arabia to the headlines of the twenty first century? This Very Short Introduction answers that question; exploring the cultural and religious diversity of Islamic history. Adam Silverstein explains its significance and considers its impact on Islamic society today.

Pressestimmen
The book is extremely lucid, readable, sensibly organised, and wears its considerable learning, as they say, 'lightly'. BBC History Magazine
