About this title

Synopsis

The faith of a billion Muslims today, developed over fourteen centuries, is sympathetically and skillfully presented in this marvelous introduction. Hewer's extensive knowledge and contextually sensitive presentation yield an exceptionally rich and faithful account, presupposing no prior knowledge of the traditions, without orientalist, Western, or Christian biases. Includes diagrams, glossary, and easy to follow references to the Qur'an.

About the Author

C.T.R. Hewer has taught Islam and worked in the field of Christian-Muslim relations for twenty years. He is the author of The Essence of Islam (Redemptorist, 2002) and lives in Birmingham, England.
