Jonathan A.C. Brown
Professor of Islamic Studies at Georgetown University
Jonathan A.C. Brown holds the Alwaleed bin Talal Chair of Islamic Civilization at Georgetown and specialises in hadith, the reports of Muhammad’s words and actions that sit beneath Islamic law. His training is in the classical scholarly apparatus, and he writes about it for general readers without pretending the difficulties away.
Misquoting Muhammad and Slavery and Islam both take the hardest available material in the tradition and work through how its scholars actually handled it, which is rarer than either apologetics or polemic.
