Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the ways in which the Prophet Mohammed was characterized by Christian historians and scholars from the Middle Ages through the Enlightenment period. The author delves into the evolution of Mohammed's characterization from a symbol of evil to a figure of respect. The author maintains that the early negative interpretations of Mohammed belong to a Western Christian worldview that developed in medieval times that viewed Islam as an inferior religion. This sentiment shifted in the 18th century as European scholarship began to approach the study of Islam with increasing rigor and open-mindedness. The author also discusses several writers from the 18th and 19th centuries whose writings on Mohammed are considered important precursors to modern Islamic Studies. In conclusion, this book brings together a carefully curated collection of texts reflecting the development of Western perceptions of the Prophet Mohammed over time.
