Reuven Firestone traces the origin and evolution of Islamic holy war through the changes affecting the new community of Muslims in their transition from ancient Arabian culture to the religious civilization of Islam. He demonstrates that, at base, Islamic holy war is a product of the mixture of old Arabian culture with innovations engendered by the introduction of monotheism.
