Jonathan Brown (PhD 2006) is a professor of Islamic Studies in the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in Washington DC. His other publications included Hadith: Muhammad's Legacy in the Medieval and Modern World (Oneworld, 2009) and Muhammad: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford, 2011).
[Brown] has produced an ambitious study that will itself become a
canon for the study of the canonization of the Saḥīḥayn and so like
them it is worthy of much attention and analysis.
Herbert Berg
This is an unusual book in many ways, all of them good. Its scope
is strikingly broad, it is in conversation with the latest
scholarship both in the field of specialization and also in the
wider world of theory, and it is well-written. While one may
disagree with some of Brown’s specific and general conclusions,
this book deserves to be read for many years to come.
Jonathan E. Brockopp, Islamic Law and Society, 2010
“This study abandons the conventional genre to which the
Orientalists, who have explored the prophetic tradition, have
accustomed us: it really brings something new. […] this book
deserves to be consulted for a good number of years to come.”
Michel Lagarde in Islamochristiana 37 (2011), p.306-307.
