Our goal is to help a new generation of Iranian scholars engage with this important work.

Muslims around the world are celebrating the birth of Prophet Muhammad, but what do we really know about him? Was he a prophet of peace or of the sword?

Juan Cole @jricole challenges common assumptions, using the Quran as the primary historical source.

So why do later traditions tell stories of skirmishes?

Cole suggests that the political ambitions of later generations may have colored their memory, with families wanting to remember their ancestors as military conquerors rather than participants in a peaceful act.

Since 2001, McCutcheon has led the Religious Studies Department at the University of Alabama—turning it into a recognized hub for research in methodology and theory. His leadership has helped establish "religious studies methodology" as a dynamic, independent field.

That's a typo, I can't edit it.
