Following Muhammad

"With translations of selections from Islamic texts, some appearing in English for the first time, Ernst offers access to Muslim voices and key themes, particularly the central role of the Prophet Muhammad. He concludes with an overview of critical debates on important contemporary issues such as gender and veiling, state politics, and science and religion. A concise selected reading list provides a helpful guide for future study. This engaging introduction to Islam should be every non-Muslim's first resource for learning about a religion that is a major presence in the world."--Jacket.

First sentence: For more than thirty years I have been convinced that the greatest contemporary gap in understanding lies between the majority of Americans and Europeans-the so-called West-and the rest of the world.
