Abstract

The lack of studies on Islam by Greek scholars makes Yannoulatos’ book an interesting one. Yannoulatos examines the role of religion in Islam in three parts. He starts his introduction with the meaning of the term Islam and stresses the importance of knowing about it. He examines the nature and phases of the knowledge and investigation of Islam by non-Muslims and looks at the existing literature on Islam. He begins the first part examining the roots of Islam in four chapters.
