Muhammad: Prophet of Peace Amid the Clash of Empires by Juan Cole

Muhammad: Prophet of Peace Amid the Clash of Empires by Juan Cole

Beautifully written, "Muhammad, Prophet of Peace" is a brilliant and compelling work. The central focus of the book is on the teachings of Muhammad and the Qur’an, as well as on Muhammad’s life. The book is based most extensively on the text of the Qur’an, as a primary source, as well as an array of other sources, mostly in Arabic, English, French and German. Among the sources are references to the work of Roman historians, to St. Augustine, to medieval and modern-day scholars of Islam. The subject matter of the book is at the intersection of religion and history.

Professor Cole’s study is equitable to all religions discussed. In an in-depth final part, he addresses the fact that the message of peace preached by Muhammad has been misappropriated in subsequent times and used to justify offensive warfare. Muhammad’s key teachings included “the prohibitions on coercion of conscience and on aggressive warfare.” The final part of the book addresses in depth the subsequent misappropriation at times, after Muhammad’s lifetime, of his teachings. Professor Cole analyzes both the “how” and “why” aspects of this issue, from the standpoint of theology and history. He also discusses other religions, originating in the Middle East and South Asia, whose peaceful message was, at times, subsequently misappropriated.
