Religious Culture in Late Antique Arabia
Selected Studies on the Late Antique Religious Mind
Edited by Kirill Dmitriev & Isabel Toral-Niehoff
Series: Islamic History and Thought 6
ISBN: 978-1-4632-0630-7
This volume explores aspects of religious culture in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Arabian Peninsula across Late Antiquity – the period of dynamic and historically crucial developments, culminating in the emergence of Islam. While it would be impossible to provide an exhaustive examination of the topic in a single volume, it is the main aim of this book to further stimulate scholarly research on the Late Antique context of the origins of Islam and the history of early Arab-Muslim culture.
