The Origins of the Koran: Classic Essays on Islam's Holy Book

This volume rejects the notion that Islam's sacred text is error free and cannot be critically evaluated. The study of the Koran must develop and mature.

This book is an attempt to remedy this deficiency by bringing together classic critical essays which raise key issues surrounding Islam's holy book. Divided into four parts, this important anthology begins with Theodor Nöldeke's first truly scientific study of the Koran. Part Two focus... [Read More]

The Sayyid Qutb Reader

Anyone who wants to understand what militant Muslims think has to understand what they read―and they read Sayyid Qutb, the intellectual father of Islamic fundamentalism.

Through his death and prolific writings he became a martyr for the cause of political Islam. His work is virtually unknown outside the Muslim world, but Qutb is at the heart of the intellectual rationale for jihad and violence in the name of Islam... [Read More]
