Abstract :
Until I was given the manuscript of this text for review, the possibility that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) devised various treaties and sets of covenants, called al-ahad wa al-shurut, to honor the autonomy and beliefs of Christian communities of his time had never occurred to me. Western culture tends to treat the three major religions as if they were separate and distinct, not to mention oppositional. Yet, the works of current scholars, Dr. John Andrew Morrow and Dr. Reza Aslan among them, provide ample evidence of the enmeshing and relatedness of these one god beliefs and of the importance of looking at events and individuals through a lens that locates them “in their time and place.”
