Millions of non-Muslims know the name of the Muslim scripture,
whether it is written as "Qur'an" or "Quran" or "Koran." But for
most, that is all they know. Many have fallen victim to the mass of
misinformation that circulates about the Qur'an. Others may have
tried to read the Qur'an, but the text itself is tough to decipher.
With no sense of context, chronology, or interpretive history, many
would-be readers of the Qur'an quickly give up the effort. As for
those trying to find out what the Qur'an says about any particular
subject or issue, they, too, soon discover that this is not a
simple or straightforward undertaking. A clear, concise
introduction to the holy book that guides the lives of 1.6 billion
people on our planet, this brief volume opens the world of the
Qur'an to interested readers who want to know where this scripture
came from and how it has achieved a profound influence in today's
world. Writing in an easy-to-read question-and-answer format, Jane
McAuliffe, one of the world's foremost scholars of the Qur'an,
introduces readers to this important text by discussing its
origins, structure, themes, interpretations, and what it has to say
about a host of critical contemporary issues. Where did the Qur'an
come from? Do Muslims believe that the Qur'an is God's own word?
How do Muslims study the Qur'an? What does the Qur'an say about
God? About family? About ethics? About violence? By answering the
questions that many people have about the Qur'an and its role in
Muslim faith, this book offers an invaluable resource for anyone
who is curious about one of the world's most important faiths.
