Reviews

The present book is an introduction to Islam. The background to this guide is a course on ‘comparative religion’ which the author has taught for some years during which he covers the history and teachings of the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). The book deals briefly with the origins and main teachings of Islam before discussing topics which relate to frequently asked questions.
