Neal Robinson's Discovering the Qur'an has now become a standard text-book, since it is an excellent resource for those who require a clear and accessible introductory text. It offers a clear interpretation of many aspects of the Qur'an, and is in three parts. The first explores how the book is experienced by Muslims in the context of faith; the second considers chronology, and dates of composition; and the third discusses the structure and coherence of the Qur'an. This new impression includes a new preface by the author. A crucial resource for all students of Islam.
