This is an introduction to the Qur'an for those who want to know
more about it and do not know where to start. In it, Jacques Jomier
takes selected passages and points out their distinctive style and
language, drawing attention to the religious ideas in the Qur'an
and the way in which they are expressed. He shows how the Qur'an
keeps returning to certain fundamental truths or essential points
of doctrine, its great themes, yet often elsewhere confines itself
to suggestion and allusion. He is also deeply aware of the role of
the Qur'an in the history of Islam and the life of the community,
so that it is not just a holy book but also arouses the emotions
Christians feel as they remember family Christmases or hear quiet
organ music in a darkened church. Chapters include discussions of
Mecca and the early days of Islam, the Muslim community, Adam,
Abraham, the prophets, Jesus, and hymns to God the creator. Jacques
Jomier is a Dominican and the author of How to Understand Islam.
