Islam is one of the three monotheistic religions that sprang from the Middle East, and as such has many ties with Christianity. Some of the major Christian figures like Jesus and Mary have an often unknown presence in the Koran.
This book is for all readers with an interest in classical spirituality; an accessible first introduction to the Koran and Islamic mystic traditions; a fresh addition to the successful daily readings market.
