The Presence of the Prophet in Early Modern and Contemporary Islam
Volume 1, The Prophet Between Doctrine, Literature and Arts: Historical Legacies and Their Unfolding
Series:
The three-volume series titled The Presence of the Prophet in Early Modern and Contemporary Islam, is the first attempt to explore the dynamics of the representation of the Prophet Muhammad in the course of Muslim history until the present.
This first collective volume outlines his figure in the early Islamic tradition, and its later transformations until recent times that were shaped by Prophet-centered piety and politics. A variety of case studies offers a unique overview of the interplay of SunnÄ« amd ShÄ«Ê¿Ä« doctrines with literature and arts in the formation of his image. They trace the integrative and conflictual qualities of a âProphetic cultureâ, in which the Prophet of Islam continues his presence among the Muslim believers.

" An added value in this monumental volume is the success at updating our sources and resources on the âHistorical Muhammadâ. It projects the trajectory of Western scholarship from Max Horten (1916), Annemarie Schimmel (1981 &1985), H. Motzki ed, 2000, C. Fitzpatrick & A. H. Walker (2014) up to Stephen J. Shoemaker (2019), Les vies de Muhammad. By all account, this volume has opened up a new vista on an important field of inquiry but one which has hitherto been sidestepped or, at best, treated with gracious superficiality"
