Learning More about the Islamic Faith
 Oil & Water. Two Faiths: One God
by Amir Hussain
Amir Hussain, a professor at Loyola Marymount College, has written an exceptionally lucid and readable introduction to Islam for all Western readers, and especially those of the majority Christian faith. Hussain's experience as an educator and as a devout Muslim who admires both the Christian and Jewish traditions allows him to offer probing insights into the resonance among these faiths, even as he celebrates the particularities of Muslim belief, history, and practice. Chapters devoted to topics such as violence and Islam, and Islam's treatment of women break through stereotypes that have muddied our understanding of Islam in a post-9/11 era. |
