A one-time Roman Catholic nun who now teaches at the Leo Baeck College for the Study of Judaism, Karen Armstrong is also the author of A History of God and Buddha, and a recipient of the Muslim Public Affairs Council Media Award. Following her Islam: A Short History, she presents this life of the Prophet Muhammad, an accurate and profound understanding of Islam and its fervent followers. The book also offers challenging comparisons with the two religions most closely related to Islam, Judaism and Christianity.
"Not just a sympathetic book that would dispel the misconceptions and misgivings of its western readers, but also a book that is of considerable importance to Muslims."—Muslim News
