Publisher Comments:

Reprint of the 1998 work (Collins, San Francisco). Writing for non- Muslims, Cragg offers an abridged literary (as opposed to literal) translation of the Qur'an, presenting the text in eight segments representing eight main themes. He also includes a substantial introductory essay explaining this approach and reflecting on the relevance of the Qur'an in the contemporary world.

Synopsis:

Familiarity with the Qur'an is essential to an understanding of Islam. This lucid translation, in accessible modern English, opens the way to a fuller understanding of the Qur'an, and for those more familiar with the text offers a deeper account of the themes, the rationale of the translation and a discussion of the place of the Qur'an in contemporary political and religious concerns. The Qur'an is abridged to about two-thirds of its original length.
