Publisher Comments:

The Man Who Inspired the World's Fastest-Growing Religion

Muhammad presents a fascinating portrait of the founder of a religion that continues to change the course of world history. Muhammad's story is more relevant than ever because it offers crucial insight into the true origins of an increasingly radicalized Islam. Countering those who dismiss Islam as fanatical and violent, Armstrong offers a clear, accessible, and balanced portrait of the central figure of one of the world's great religions.

Synopsis:

The "New York Times" bestselling author of "A History of God" and "The Battle for God" presents a fascinating portrait of the founder of a religion that has changed the course of world history.

Karen Armstrong paints vividly an insight into the most misunderstood and understated figure in all of history; one can go as far and say he is the most influential religious historical figure.
