The first 25% of this book sets the stage for why we in the West need to learn about the Quran and the manner in which willful ignorance regarding the Quran and Islam has became an increasing problem, especially in the US. When Wills comes to the Quran, he does a good job of drawing upon multiple sources from different schools of thought, from Patricia Crone and Oliver Roy, to The Study Quran: A New Translation and Commentary and Jonathan Brown to Leila Ahmed. Having drawn upon multiple sources and multiple translations of the Quran, Wills has developed some excellent insights into the Quran, as when he writes, "The Quran is an exercise in semiotics. God speaks a special language, in which mountains and winds and springs are syllables. Everything is a sign." (p. 84) His chapters on commerce in the Quran and Jihad are also very insightful. He does, however, seem to stumble a bit when he comes to women in the Quran, especially his treatment of verse 4:34, a place where many have stumbled before.Overall this book is a very good example of what can be achieved when Western intellectuals seek to honestly confront and grapple with their own ignorance regarding Islam and the Quran. Many conservatives from multiple sides will no doubt decry this book, and use some of his blatant errors, such as referring to the Prophet's wife Zaynab as Zayda, to cast the whole book in a negative light. But Wills has done an admirable job of reaching beyond his own comfort zone (the Western cannon and the Christian tradition) to examine material that is not so foreign as some would make it out to be.For non-Muslims, this is an excellent book to try to better understand the Quran, though as Wills recommends, one should go to The Study Quran: A New Translation and Commentary for deeper investigation, or perhaps to Ingrid Mattson's The Story of the Qur'an: Its History and Place in Muslim Life. Muslims who have already had some exposure to the Quran and wish to know more about their own tradition will not find much material here. They will, however, find it to be useful for understanding how to present Islam and the Quran to non-Muslims.My only major criticism would be the use of Abdal Haleem's translation for most citations. Though it is smooth in English, it has many minor inaccuracies which do lead to slight misinterpretations on Wills's part.

I enjoyed this — it was not exactly what I wanted but it was one of the better attempts to shed some light on the spiritual appeal of this book and Islam. So many books just go into all the wars and tribal factionalism and so leave one wondering how in the world such a mess of a religion could appeal to so many people. Other writings tend to mainly appeal to “the scholars” and essentially provide the same sorts of answers that Christian evangelicals tend to use to sell you on Christanity — appeals to the authority of the Bible or of some church teachings that could only persuade someone who is already persuaded. This still does not give a complete answer but it was a start. It also displays Wills’s gift for political writing, in his beginning section on the post 9/11 debacle which shows how the public's and especially the "neocons'" and Bush administration's lack of understanding of Islam and the Islamic world, coupled with their own greed and arrogance, led America into a costly and pointless military adventure from which we have yet to extricate ourselves.

I think every serious American, religious or not, ought to read Wills’ book. He expliainos the key ideas of Islam that most frighten or confuse Westerners, and he does so in clear, straightforward text in the easy to read prose of a Classics scholar. While he isis careful to attribute and document sources, and his references to the Qu’ran are precise and quoted from an authoritative translation, he is also quick to point out that he is not a Islamic scholar and that he doesn’t know Arabic, the sacred book’s language. These would ardnarily be major problems in a volume that sets out to explain Islam, but in this case, Wills’ candor and straightforwardness, his lucid prose and documentation, including citations of other Western and Arabic writers suffices to support his authority to write this book. He puts Shari’ah, Ji’had, women.’s rights, Islamic Chrisology, and a host of other ideas Westerners need clarification on in focus. The book is worth twice the price whether you.’re Christian, Jewish, Atheist or don’t give a damn about religion. From Us!

Part 1 of my Kindle edition (28% of the entire ebook) needs a radical edit. The author needs to set the scene, but he overdoes the minutiae of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with his rather strident arguments against those wars, plus lengthy quotes from President Bush and other key US figures involved in the decision to go to war, its planning and execution. Far too much padding.The background is important, but not worth filling 28% of the book. Any reasonably well-informed reader who is interested in a book like this would probably know the background to the wars cited, and would have well-formed opinions about them.Similarly the final sections on feminism and female clothing in Islam need editing.That's the main reason I gave only 3 stars for this book. Otherwise, it was very helpful to me.I have read the Qur'an (in English translation), and like the author on his first reading of it, I found it almost impossible to get to grips with. So I welcome this book because it has clarified my thinking a lot.It gave me a better understanding of why some Muslims reject mainstream Christianity as a polytheistic faith (3 Gods in one - Father, Son and Holy Ghost). I also have a clearer idea of what the Qur'an actually says about jihad (zeal, not violent attacks on non-believers), and sharia (the right path, not necessarily cutting off hands). The author gives excellent treatments of these topics.While the book is welcome and much-needed, I regret that it may not be read by many of those who really need to do so.
