The publisher description frames the book as a response to portrayals of Islam as inherently fanatical or violent, presenting Muhammad as a figure whose life offers context for understanding the religion. Its scope is biographical, with the subject’s historical and religious importance tied to the broader story of Islam.

Book overview

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.
