Query: symphatetic biography

Armstrong's book has a definite direction.It provides insight into much of the 'humaness' of the prophet of islam and the realities of the socio political climate of the time. Her sympathetic biography is particularly useful in potraying a constructive and positive profile to those less familiar with the prophet and Islam. On a personal level, for me as a muslim, I loved the sense of identification and inspiration that the book provides - it often allowed for the message of the prophet to be understood in real terms not estranged from our own times, as overzealous reverence for the prophet often makes one miss this.The book is however specific in its potrayal as is the value derived thereof and is by no means intended to be authoritive.
