Publisher's Synopsis

We are constantly fed false information about Islam - but what does the Qur'an actually say? In this book Wills, as a non-Muslim with an open mind, reads the Qur'an with sympathy and vigor, trying to discover why other non-Muslims - like Pope Francis'find it an inspiring book, worthy to guide people down through the centuries. He compares the Qur'an with other sacred books, the Old Testament and the New Testament, to show the parallels between them. There are also parallel difficulties of interpretation, which call for patient exploration, and which offer some thrills of discovery.

About the Publisher

Penguin Books

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
