Prophecy and Power: Muhammad and the Qur'an in the Light of Comparison

By the end of the ninth century the Prophet Muhammad had emerged as an incomparable exemplar shared by all Muslim communities. Prophecy and Power offers a rigorous comparative study of both the Prophet Muhammad and the Quran. The book ranges across various issues: the comparative study of prophecy; Quranic comparison as a modality of change; the Prophet as exemplar and foil; and an experiment in comparison between Muhammad and Alinesitouie.
