Islam
Jane Dammen McAuliffe (Author), Jack Miles (Editor)
Unprecedented in scope and approach, The Norton Anthology of World Religions: Islam is the most comprehensive gathering of primary texts available. Organized chronologically, with thematic groupings within sections, the anthology brings together over 100 texts from the Qur'an in the seventh century to feminist and pluralist readings of the Qur'an in the twenty-first century. The volume features Jack Miles?s illuminating General Introduction--“How the West Learned to Compare Religions”--as well as Jane Dammen McAuliffe?s “Submission to God as the Wellspring of a Civilization,” a lively primer on the history and core tenets of Islam. The sections are supported by the meticulously prepared apparatus--introductions, annotations, pronouncing glossaries, bibliographies, maps, etc
