'A very helpful resource for group discussion and study. The chapters are short and each chapter is divided into helpful sections.' - Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations Vol.10, No.3, 1999'... perhaps one of the best short introductions to Islam currently available ... ideal for first-year undergraduates, sixth-formers, and even older school children ... an excellent introduction ...' - Sophie Gilliat-Ray, World Faiths Encounter
