The Jewish and Christian Background of the Earliest Islamic Liturgical Calendar -- 6. The Persian Keys of the Quranic Paradise -- Part 4. Conceptual Quicksand, Meta-Narratives of Identity, Texts and their Marginalia -- 7. Divine Attributes of ‘Alī in Shi’ite Mysticism : New Remarks on ‘Heresy’ in Early Islam -- 8.

Summary: This multidisciplinary collective volume advances the scholarly discussion on the origins of Islam. It simultaneously focuses on three domains: texts, social contexts, and ideological developments relevant for the study Islam's beginnings - taking the latter expression in its broadest possible sense. The intersections of these domains need to be examined afresh in order to obtain a clear picture of the concurrent phenomena that collectively enabled both the gradual emergence of a new religious identity and also the progressive delimitation of its initially fuzzy boundaries.
