"For both secular humanists and the religiously inclined, this innovative, challenging work will come as a pleasant surprise. Akhtar brings to this work on Islam an impressive command of Western thought... not to mention an equally impressive command of Muslim thought... A well-written, powerful challenge to both Muslim and Western readers, whether of the religious or the secular variety, this work will benefit all readers interested in inter- and intra-religious dialogue. Summing up: Highly recommended." -- M. Swartz, Choice
