Award-winning professor John Kaltner's new work offers a general
introduction and orientation to the Qur'an. It surveys the origin,
structure, contents, study, and use of Islam's sacred text.
Offering selective rather than comprehensive coverage, the work
allows for discussion and analysis of specific themes and issues of
interest to modern readers. Following an introduction that
describes and situates how the Qur'an is both studied and
experienced, Kaltner's book takes up the following themes by
chapter to foster a contemporary understanding and appreciation of
the Qur'an: the natural environment, Muslim life, gender and
sexuality, non-Muslims and the Other, jihad, war and peace, and
life after death. Significant passages from the Qur'an are
identified and analyzed, with a special focus on how modern
scholars, both Muslim and non-Muslim, understand them. Kaltner
intersperses his book with numerous photographs and textboxes to
emphasize and highlight important elements of the Qur'an, its
history, and its relevance to contemporary life. Check out the
audio glossary on the Student tab to hear the author pronounce the
Arabic words!
