About This Book

The author surveys the Arabian Peninsula’s physical geography, peoples, political conditions, trade routes, and antiquities, combining ethnological and archaeological description with travel observation. He traces the religious development of Islam in the peninsula, examining influences from earlier Judaism, Sabeanism, and Christianity and summarizing Islamic beliefs and institutions. Chapters discuss contemporary mission work and argue for increased missionary engagement, presenting practical information for outreach alongside assessments of local social and political obstacles. The account is written from a missionary perspective but aims to provide a readable compilation of facts and sources for general readers interested in the region’s history and religious landscape.
