John Edward Wansbrough (February 19, 1928 June 10,
2002) was an American historian who taught at the
University of London's School of Oriental and African
Studies (SOAS). Wansbrough's emphasis was on the
critique of traditional accounts of the origins of
Islam. Born in Peoria, Illinois, Wansbrough completed
his studies at Harvard University, and spent the rest
of his academic career at SOAS.
He caused a furor in the 1970s when his research on
early Islamic manuscripts, including the analysis of
the repeated use of monotheistic Judeo-Christian
imagery found in the Qur'an led him to posit that the
rise of Islam was a mutation of what was originally a
Judeo-Christian sect trying to spread in Arab lands.
As time evolved the Judeo-Christian scriptures were
adapted to an Arab perspective and mutated into what
became the Qu'ran which was developed over centuries
with contributions from various Arab tribal sources.
Wansbrough's research suggests that a great deal of
the traditional history of Islam appeared to be a
fabrication of later generations seeking to forge and
justify a unique religious identity. Within this
context, the character of Muhammad could be seen as a
manufactured myth created to provide the Arab tribes
with their own Arab version of the Judeo-Christian
prophets.
He died at Montaigu-de-Quercy, France.
