The Norton Anthology of World Religions: Islam

The Norton Anthology of World Religions: Islam

This groundbreaking new Norton Anthology enables the six major, living, international world religions to speak to students in their own words.
Edited by world-renowned scholars under the direction of Pulitzer Prizeâ€“winner Jack Miles, The Norton Anthology of World Religions provides a flexible library of more than 1,000 primary texts from the worldâ€™s major religionsâ€•Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islamâ€•in six portable paperbacks. This anthology unites foundational worksâ€•the Bhagavad Gita, the Daode jing, the Bible, the Qurâ€™anâ€•with the writings of scholars, seekers, believers, and skeptics whose voices have kept these religions vital for centuries, allowing instructors to shape a variety of courses. The selections are supported by the meticulously prepared apparatusâ€•introductions, explanatory annotations, bibliographies, maps, and glossariesâ€•for which Norton Anthologies have set the standard for fifty years.

Unprecedented in scope and approach, The Norton Anthology of World Religions: Islam brings together over 100 texts from the Qurâ€™an in the seventh century to feminist and pluralist readings of the Qurâ€™an in the twenty-first century. The volume features Jack Milesâ€™s illuminating General Introductionâ€•â€œHow the West Learned to Compare Religionsâ€â€•as well as Jane Dammen McAuliffeâ€™s â€œSubmission to God as the Wellspring of a Civilization,â€ a lively primer on the history and core tenets of Islam.
