Title
The Islamic World Edited by William H. McNeill & Marilyn Robinson Waldman-Paperback
The Islamic World brings together a rich collection of primary sources that span the full sweep of Islamic history. From the faith’s beginnings in seventh-century Arabia to its encounters with the challenges of modernity, this volume traces the development and enduring vitality of the youngest of the world’s major civilizations.
Carefully selected translations showcase the diversity of Muslim intellectual and cultural expression—ranging from historical chronicles and theological debates to philosophical reflections, political discourses, lyrical poetry, and personal narratives. The voices represented here come from across the breadth of the Islamic world: Arab lands, Persia, Turkey, and beyond, illuminating the depth and variety of Islamic traditions.
Each section is prefaced with lucid introductions by the editors, William H. McNeill and Marilyn Robinson Waldman, who provide context for the documents and guide readers through the shifting landscapes of Islamic thought and history. The result is not only a record of the past but also a vivid demonstration of how ideas and beliefs evolved, endured, and adapted across centuries of change.
For students, scholars, and general readers alike, The Islamic World provides an enlightening entry point into the civilization, traditions, and lived experiences of Muslims throughout the ages—an invitation to engage directly with the texts that have shaped a global heritage.
