By the end of the ninth century the Prophet Muhammad had emerged as an incomparable exemplar shared by all Muslim communities. Prophecy and Power offers a rigorous comparative study of both the Prophet Muhammad and the Quran. The book ranges across various issues: the comparative study of prophecy; Quranic comparison as a modality of change; the Prophet as exemplar and foil; and an experiment in comparison between Muhammad and Alinesitouie.

BY ENDURANCE THEY CONQUEREDBy Bryce BabcockMichael Smith introduced us to the story of Tom Crean "Ireland's Unsung Hero" and his "Tom Crean: An Illustrated Life." Both "must reads" for anyone who want's to discover the epic story of: "The Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploitation." Now Smith recounts the story of Ernest Shackleton's entire venture aboard the ship; Endurance; frozen in the ice and sunk in the Weddell Sea; the grueling escape in lifeboats to barren Elephant Island; the desperate voyage with five other men in a lifeboat across 800 miles of the earth's stormiest seas; the almost unbelievable hike with Crean and Worsley across mountainous South Georgia Island; and finally the rescue of the crewmen stranded on Elephant Island. The entire story of heroism that ended with the safe return of all 28 men of the Endurance Expedition without the loss of a single man. Smith writes with passion and accuracy of one of the dramatic episodes of "The Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration." The story can be summed up by Shackleton's family motto; "BY ENDURANCE WE CONQUER." WARNING: If you start reading this book you won't be able to put it down. -- Bryce Babcock0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
