“You Pass By Them in the Morning and in the Night”
A sizeable amount of the Qur’an’s content does not seem compatible with its origins solely within the confines of Mecca and Medina during Muhammad’s lifetime, as the Islamic tradition and much modern scholarship would have us believe. Despite the unwarranted confidence often invested in this traditional narrative, which has rarely been questioned, many of the Qur’an’s traditions are simply not compatible with their presumed provenance in the cent…
An Early Dormition Narrative in Karshuni
Le présent article fournit la première édition critique complète d’une forme brève du récit apocryphe de la Dormition de Marie en Six Livres. Un fragment syriaque de cette version était connu depuis 1865 (CANT 121) et était communément considéré comme la forme la plus ancienne de la Dormition en Six Livres et comme dépendant du texte grec du Pseudo-Jean. Le texte arabe karchouni publié ici donne maintenant accès à cette version dans son intégrali…
A Prophet Has Appeared
A Prophet Has Appeared
Prophet Has Appeared
"The first anthology to compile the most significant non-Islamic sources for understanding the rise of Islam. Early Islam has emerged as a lively site of historical investigation, and scholars have challenged the traditions of both Islam and its academic study by drawing attention to the wealth of non-Islamic sources that describe its rise. A Prophet Has Appeared brings this approach to the classroom. The collection provides students with careful…
Christian Martyrs Under Islam
Christian Apocrypha
This chapter focuses on the production of early Christian apocryphal writings as an act of biblical interpretation. Particular attention is given to the ‘parabiblical’ nature of many such writings—that is, the ways in which these texts often reflect parallel development of traditions that came to be included in the biblical canon. Many early Gospel traditions and Pauline apocrypha preserve independent, even rival versions of the earliest Christia…
The Life of the Virgin
Long overlooked by scholars, this seventh-century Life of the Virgin , attributed to Maximus the Confessor, is the earliest complete Marian biography. Originally written in Greek and now surviving only in Old Georgian, it is now translated for the first time into English. It is a work that holds profound significance for understanding the history of late ancient and medieval Christianity, providing a rich source for understanding the history of C…
Mary in Early Christian Faith and Devotion
For the first time a noted historian of Christianity explores the full story of the emergence and development of the Marian cult in the early Christian centuries. The means by which Mary, mother of Jesus, came to prominence have long remained strangely overlooked despite, or perhaps because of, her centrality in Christian devotion. Gathering together fresh information from often neglected sources, including early liturgical texts and Dormition an…
The Reign of God Has Come”
For much of the 20th century, scholarship on Muḥammad and the beginnings of Islam has shown a reluctance to acknowledge the importance of imminent eschatology in earliest Islam. One of the main reasons for this resistance to eschatology would appear to be the undeniable importance of conquest and political expansion in early Islam: if Muḥammad and his followers believed that the world would soon come to an end, why then did they seek to conquer a…

The Death of a Prophet
Mary at the Cross, East and West
In Search of ʽUrwa's Sīra
This article raises important critical questions about efforts to reconstruct the "sīra" of ʽUrwa ibn al-Zubayr using the methods of isnād criticism, particularly as recently proposed by Gregor Schoeler and Andreas Görke. While al-Zuhrī and occasionally other authorities of his generation can often be persuasively linked with the traditions in question, the reach back to ʽUrwa is generally not convincing (and even less so, the occasional invocati…
The Virgin Mary in the Ministry of Jesus and the Early Church according to the Earliest Life of the Virgin
In 1986, Michel van Esbroeck published a remarkable new Life of the Virgin that not only is among the most profound and eloquent Mariological writings of early Byzantium but also presents a useful compendium of early apocryphal traditions about Mary. Some of the Life 's episodes are already well known from their original sources, such as the Protevangelium of James and the early dormition apocrypha, but many other extrabiblical traditions appeari…
Let us Go and Burn Her Body
In his recent book,Mary through the Centuries, Jaroslav Pelikan notes that "one of the most profound and persistent roles of the Virgin Mary in history has been her function as a bridge builder to other traditions, other cultures, and other religions." This is particularly true of the late ancient Near East, where Mary's significance frequently reached across various cultural and religious boundaries. But it is equally true that Mary often served…
