Opening the Qur'an is the fruit of a remarkable effort by a Christian scholar, Walter Wagner, to understand the Qur'an and its place in Islamic society. . . . All of Opening the Qur'an. . . is marked by Wagner's sincere effort to deepen his own theological reflections while reading the Qur'an. In this, his work makes an important contribution to the contemporary Muslim-Christian conversation. -- The Catholic Historical Review

<p> <p> For non-Muslim, English-speaking readers of the Qur'an who become overwhelmed and perplexed, Wagner comes to the rescue. . . . [T]his is a well-researched, thoughtful, and fair-minded treatment. Highly recommended for academic collections and general public library readership. -- Library Journal <p> <p> <p> <p> <p>
