Religion
The Wiley Blackwell History of Islam
Edited by Armando Salvatore, Roberto Tottoli & Babak Rahimi
A theoretically rich, nuanced history of Islam and Islamic civilization with a unique sociological
component
The Wiley Blackwell History of Islam explores the complex and varied history of Islam and its traditions. It
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 and crystallized in institutional forms at a variety of levels,
embracing social, religious, legal, political, cultural, and civic dimensions. The book also discusses the
genesis of a new social order in 7th-century Arabia, right up to 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.
