The Koran has constituted a remarkably strong core of identity and continuity for a religious tradition that is now in its fifteenth century. This Very Short Introduction explores the significance of the Koran both in the modern world and in traditional Muslim culture.

He also discusses issues of interpretation for certain key verses, demonstrating that fecundity of the text for readers throughout the world.
