Islam is the fastest growing religion in North America and the world, with well over a billion followers. Since the Islamic revolution in Iran and the dismantling of communism, the world has seemed to be heading inexorably towards greater confrontation between Muslim and non-Muslim cultures. At a time when communities increasingly tend to view each other with suspicion, this book cuts through the morass of understanding and misinformation to give a timely overview of the universality and light of the prophetic message and the traditions that have grown up around it; the life of Islam today, its potential for bringing unity; and speculates on its future. The introduction also features selections from key Islamic writings.

'about as timely as any book can be, should be read and re-read, not only by so-called Christians but by many Muslims too.' The Guardian.
