An introduction to the sacred text of Islam. The author examines the recurrent themes of life and eternity; marriage and divorce; peace and war; water and nourishment; and sets these in the context of the Qu'ran's linguistic style.

This work is intended for students of Islam and comparative religion, and for readers interested in a Qu'ranic perspective when considering contemporary issues.
