Muhammad and the Christians: Commemorating the Covenants of the Prophet

Intriguing, innovative, and meticulously documented, Muhammad and the Christians pierces through veils of dogmatic darkness, theological accretions, political propaganda, and religious obfuscation in search of the historical Prophet of Islam. Sound in its premise, major arguments, and methodology, respected scholar John Andrew Morrow's pathbreaking work evaluates the authenticity of the covenants of the Prophet with the Christians from an objective, impartial, and neutral perspective. Seeking solely the facts, and relying only on the evidence, Morrow sets off on a quest to unveil the earliest understanding of the Qur'an and the original teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and the prophetic Islam that existed prior to the Umayyads, 'Abbasids, and others. Muhammad and the Christians answers two questions of paramount and existential importance then and today: do the covenants of the Prophet with the Christians represent the primordial teachings of Muhammad and, if so, are they still obligatory and binding upon believers?
