Product Description
"This book is must reading for everyone in the field of religion and one of the most important works in recent years." -Religious Studies Review
"Highly recommended for collections in folklore and mythology, ancient Near Eastern studies, and Islam." -Choice
"The graceful writing, interdisciplinary scope, and hermeneutical depth should make it compelling reading for those interested in the mythos of Arabia before and at the birth of Islam and in comparable myths in neighboring civilizations." -MESA Bulletin
The richness of myth in Arab-Islamic culture has long been ignored or even denied. In Muhammad and the Golden Bough Jaroslav Stetkevych demonstrates the existence of a coherent pre-Islamic Arabian myth that was subsequently incorporated into Islamic poetic tradition.
