Eastern Rome and the Rise of Islam: History and Prophecy
ISBN: 9781138101388 / Angielski / Twarda / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The emergence of Islam in the seventh century AD still polarises scholars who seek to separate religious truth from the historical reality with which it is associated. However, history and prophecy are not solely defined by positive evidence or apocalyptic truth, but by human subjects, who consider them to convey distinct messages and in turn make these messages meaningful to others. These messages are mutually interdependent, and analysed together provide new insights into history. It is by way of this concept that Olof Heilo presents the decline of the Eastern Roman Empire as a...

The British, French, Russian, and Dutch empires each governed more Muslims than any independent Muslim state.

At the same time, the European presence in Muslim lands was confronted by religious resistance movements and...
