Littell S Living Age Vol 58

Excerpt from Littell's Living Age, Vol. 58: July, August, September, 1858 He is fond of iterating an idea, and clothing it in every imaginable form of words - piling Ossa on Pelion - and making each sentence rise in the scale of impressiveness. Some of his periods may be too long, and there is a danger lest the attention of the hearer - orper haps we ought now to say the reader - should flag while pausing for the climax of the sen tence; but there is no false grammar - no anacoluthon - no confusion of metaphor, and out of the longest sentence or succession of sentences, he winds himself with unerring accuracy.

Islam and the People of the Book features three dozen scholarly studies on the treaties that the Prophet Muhammad concluded with Jewish, Samaritan, Christian, and Zoroastrian communities, along with translations of Six Covenants of the Prophet in over a dozen languages. The combined effort of over forty-five academics, intellectuals, and translators from around the world, this work powerfully confirms the conclusions drawn by Dr John Andrew Morrow in his critically-acclaimed book on The Covenants of the Prophet Muhammad with the Christians of the World, offers unprecedented insight into the original intent of the Messenger of God, and sheds light on the pluralistic nature of the constitutional state that he created.
