" Accessivle, timely, informative--a valuable introduction to the Qur'an" --Joan E. Cook, Professorial Lecturer, Georgetown University, Washington, D.C."This splendid book introduces the Qur'an to the curious and the serious. Kaltner's book is enjoyable read straight through or used as a reference, and it answers many of the questions I had about the Qur' an, even some I hadn't yet thought of. Kaltner's treatment of religious differences is characterized by sensitivity and tolerance. This will be the first place I turn to get basic information about the Qur'an." --Professor David Penchansky, Department of Theology, University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minnesota"This splendid book introduces the Qur'an to the curious and the serious.
