Wow! Helluva find! Too bad she’s not around anymore. We can use more people with her intellectual character.
“Intellectual character” ..????
She tried to kill Sarah after Isaac was born .. and later made an attempt on Isaac. That was why Abraham put her out of the camp.
However, I would love to read her book about Islam. I’ve studied a lot about Abraham and Sarah’s life; and this would just add to the story.
I take it the name of the book is “A scholar in the desert” by Patricia Crone .. is that correct. I’m hoping Amazon has it.
