Reviews and Features

"Cet ouvrage a le mérite de proposer des réflexions stimulantes et d’ouvrir des débats originaux et novateurs pour les études sur le Coran et les débuts de l’islam – contribution fort appréciable, dans un domaine où de nombreux travaux, loin d’ouvrir des perspectives nouvelles, ont plutôt tendance à fermer dogmatiquement des portes."
- Guillaume Dye, Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Bulletin critique des Annales islamologiques, No. 36 (2022)

Remapping Emergent Islam

Texts, Social Settings, and Ideological Trajectories

This multidisciplinary collective volume advances the scholarly discussion on the origins of Islam. It simultaneously focuses on three domains: texts, social contexts, and ideological developments relevant for the study of Islam’s beginnings -- taking the latter expression in its broadest possible sense. The intersections of these domains need to be examined afresh in order to obtain a clear picture of the concurrent phenomena that collectively enabled both the gradual emergence of a new religious identity and the progressive delimitation of its initially fuzzy boundaries.
