What the Koran Really Says Language, Text, and Commentary

Islam has world-wide influence, and even in the United States is experiencing a period of unprecedented growth. Its sacred book, the Koran, is the subject of voluminous commentary, yet it rarely receives the kind of objective critical scrutiny that has been applied to the texts of the Bible for over a century. To correct this neglect of objective scholarship, Ibn Warraq has assembled this excellent collection of critical commentaries on the Koran published by noted scholars from the beginning of the 20th century to recent times. This outstanding volume will be a welcome resource to interested lay readers and scholars alike.Warraq, Ibn is the author of 'What the Koran Really Says Language, Text, and Commentary', published 2002 under ISBN 9781573929455 and ISBN 157392945X.
