Description:

A dictionary of prophets in Islam and Judaism, with information cited from biblical and quranic traditions as well. The entries intend to identify the important people, places and texts on the subject, and to explore the literary and methodological issues that surround studies of prophecy too.

Synopsis:

Both traditions recognize and draw theological and historical lessons from some of the same narrative sources, but this is the first comparative resource to provide interdisciplinary coverage of the history and textual sources associated with prophets and prophecy. This thorough treatment of a difficult and increasingly controversial subject area will encourage and cultivate knowledge and understanding.
