| |  | | | In Brief
This book is based on the author's Exxon Foundation lectures, delivered in 1986 at The University of Chicago. Lewis attempts to "trace the growth and development of Islamic political language from the advent of the Prophet and the promulgation of the Qur'an in the seventh century through the transformation of political thought, institutions, and . . . discourse in modern times. . . . Through historical analysis of . . . the technical terms used in the literature of statecraft, in the theories of political philosophers, in the formulations of jurists and theologians, and in the actual conduct of government, he {reflects on} . . . the perception, discussion, and practice of politics in the Islamic world." (Publisher's note) Index.
