Summary: This reference work is a resource for students of comparative religion, dealing specifically with prophets and prophecy in Islam and Judaism. The core of this work is the dictionary section, which focuses on four main areas: prophets; texts; scholars and scholarship; and issues, concepts, and themes. The entries deal with a broad array of prophets and related figures, from Adam and Eve to Isaac to Moses to Jesus and his disciples to Muhammad. The authors included information on issues, concepts, and themes, among them prophecy, shamans, and oracles, but also ritual and law, ethics and mysticism, angelology and demonology.
