History of Islam: The sepulchral power of landscape (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798553463229)

This book covers prehistoric Arabia until the emergence of Islam, noting how far into the past Arabic culture goes, the existence of Islamic behavioural codes in pre-Islamic Arabia, the extent of Arab migration from c500 BCE reaching into Palestine, Syria and Egypt. It considers, albeit briefly, the effects of African and Syrian Christianity on Islam, Islam as a Monist Christian cult similar to the Donatists and Circumcellians of Tunisia and Mani's extensive replication of Christianity. It demonstrates how Islam modelled itself on the empires of Himyar, Rome and Sasanian Persia, assuming that territorial expansion and religious expansion went hand in hand.
