Intro
In 2025, Dr. John Andrew Morrow published “Muhammad and the Christians: Commemorating the Covenants of the Prophet”.
Dr. John Andrew Morrow has produced a finely researched account of a little-known dimension of Islamic history: how the Prophet Muhammad, acting as God’s representative, went out of his way to respect and protect Christians.
The Prophet extended his “wing of mercy” not only to Christians, but also to other religious communities. If this spirit of equity and compassion were recovered by Muslims today and reciprocated, in turn, by Christians and Jews, three outcomes might follow: (1) the war in Gaza could be brought to an honorable conclusion for both sides; (2) the status of Palestinians in relation to the Jews of Israel could be secured with dignity; and (3) communal tensions, including episodes of inter-group violence in Lebanon and Syria, could be effectively overcome.
Morrow deserves the gratitude of all who seek to understand the covenants the Prophet Muhammad issued during his ministry to respect and protect Christian and Jewish communities. His 2013 work, The Covenants of the Prophet Muhammad with the Christians of the World, was groundbreaking in bringing these documents to broad public attention and made an energizing contribution to our collective understanding of them. In his new book, he presents seven case studies related to the covenants, tracing their provenance and their transmission through the centuries.
