{"product_id":"said-the-prophet-of-god-joel-blecher-9780520295940","title":"Said the Prophet of God: Hadith Commentary Across a Millennium","description":"Although scholars have long studied how Muslims authenticated and transmitted Muhammad's sayings and practices (hadith), the story of how they interpreted and reinterpreted the meanings of hadith over the past millennium has yet to be told. Joel Blecher takes up this charge, illuminating the rich social and intellectual history of hadith commentary at three critical moments and locales: classical Andalusia, medieval Egypt, and modern India. Weaving together tales of public debates, high court rivalries, and colonial politics with analyses of ethnographic field notes and fine-grained arguments adorning the margins of manuscripts, \u003ci\u003eSaid the Prophet of God \u003c\/i\u003eoffers new avenues for the study of religion, history, anthropology, and law. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Blecher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520295943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520295940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Joel Blecher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919957295359,"sku":"9780520295940","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_53d450a7-46f2-42b3-8336-67f35595d93b.jpg?v=1680812849","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/said-the-prophet-of-god-joel-blecher-9780520295940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
