||3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.| Excellent book but NOT the Kindle version|By opus|I felt this book provided an excellent over-view of the evolution of Islam and, for me, a better understanding of the underlying political and theological issues facing the Middle East today. Unfortunately, I found the Kindle version very disappointing and certainly not worth the price.

He has drawn on a significant range of scholarship and has provided extensive footnotes which will help students in their research work in secondary sources."

Jonathan Berkey surveys the religious history of the peoples of the Near East from approximately 600 to 1800 c.e. After examining the religious scene in the Near East in late antiquity, he investigates Islam's first century, the "classical" period from the accession of the Abbasids to the rise of the Buyid amirs. He then traces the emergence of new forms of Islam in the middle period, deftly showing how Islam emerged slowly as part of a prolonged process.
