{"product_id":"jihad-reuven-firestone-9780195154948","title":"Jihad: The Origin of Holy War in Islam","description":"While there exists no evidence to date that the indigenous inhabitants of Arabia knew of holy war prior to Islam, holy war ideas and behaviors appear already among Muslims during the first generation. This book focuses on why and how such a seemingly radical development took place. Basing his hypothesis on evidence from the Qur'an and early Islamic literary sources, Firestone locates the origin of Islamic holy war and traces its evolution as a response to the changes affecting the new community of Muslims in its transition from ancient Arabian culture to the religious civilization of Islam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reuven Firestone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195154940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195154948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.84h x 6.58w x 0.61d","brand":"Reuven Firestone","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054648979711,"sku":"9780195154948","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b1aa7ff0-da2e-4981-a4a2-c49729c1d2af.jpg?v=1685031180","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jihad-reuven-firestone-9780195154948","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
