Abstract
A short history of Mohammed and the rise of Islam. Mohammed is portrayed throughout as a devious, crafty, and manipulative man who purposefully feigned visions and twisted Scripture in order to enhance his own status. These descriptions are then contrasted in the end by a short tract on the redemption of mankind through the Jesus’ and the Angel’s intercession. This chapbook is one of a series of histories and biographies of notable historical and religious figures which have been bound together in this collection.
