This major new reference work offers an historical and theoretically informed view of Islam as both a religion and a sociocultural force. Uniquely comprehensive, it surveys and discusses the transformation of Muslim societies in different eras and various regions, providing a broad narrative of the historical development of Islamic civilization.

The volume provides an in–depth study of the diverse ways through which the religious dimension at the core of Islamic traditions has led to a distinctive type of civilizational process in history. The book illuminates the ways in which various historical forces have converged, clashed, and crystallized in institutional forms at a variety of levels, embracing social, religious, legal, political, cultural, and civic dimensions. Together, the team of internationally renowned scholars move from an exploration of the genesis of a new social order in 7th–century Arabia to an examination of the rise of revolutionary Islamist currents in the 20th century and the varied ways in which Islam has grown and continues to pervade daily life in the Middle East and beyond.

The Wiley Blackwell History of Islam is essential reading for students and academics in a wide range of fields, including sociology, history, law, and political science. This book will also appeal to general readers with an interest in the history of one of the world′s great religions.
