Islam: A Guide for Jews and Christians
Entering Islam through the same biblical door Muhammad did, this book introduces readers with Christian or Jewish backgrounds to one of the world's largest, most active, and - in the West - least understood religions. It also highlights Muhammad's different use of Scripture and explains those elements of the Quran most alien to Western readers.
F. E. Peters is Professor of History, Religion, and Middle Eastern Studies at New York University and past chair of those departments. His books include "The Children of Abraham: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam" and the two-volume "The Monotheists: Jews, Christians, and Muslims in Conflict and Competition" (all Princeton).
