Islam and Sufism

The Venture of Islam

by Marshall G. S. Hodgson

A three-volume history of Islamic civilisation from its origins to the modern age, published posthumously by the University of Chicago Press. Hodgson treats Islam as a world-historical civilisation rather than a regional curiosity and coined influential terms such as 'Islamicate'. It remains a classic of the field despite its demanding style.
