Arguably the most powerful book in the world it has spoken to Muslims for over one thousand years; it is lawmaker, moral code, and the word of God. Drawing on both contemporary and ancient sources, Esack outlines the key themes and explains the historical and cultural context of this unique literary work whilst examining its content, language and style, and the approaches that have been used to interpret it (fundamentalist, feminist and modernist).

Acclaimed Muslim scholar Farid Esack leads the reader through the Qur'an, outlining the key themes, explaining its historical and cultural context, and examining the complexities and controversies surrounding such difficult issues as truth, justice, and gender relations. In the current troubled state of world affairs, Esack's elegant and objective guide offers readers valuable insight into one of the world's most powerful books; insight that is only going to become more relevant in the years to come.
