"[Shoemaker] develops [previous ideas] substantially, discusses them in the light of recent publications, and also offers highly instructive parallels with the situation in (and scholarship on) early Christianity. . . [He] has done a very good job of highlighting the issues and giving them sophisticated and thorough discussion, and [The Death of a Prophet] is a worthwhile addition to the fast-expanding body of material on Islamic origins." * Journal of the American Oriental Society *
"A work of utmost importance, and one that has profound implications for our understanding of how Islam began." * Fred Donner, University of Chicago *
