"Grippingly narrated and thoughtfully examined . . . a literate, accessible introduction to Islam."--The New York Times
"[Reza] Aslan offers an invaluable introduction to the forces that have shaped Islam [in this] eloquent, erudite paean to Islam in all of its complicated glory."--Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Wise and passionate . . . an incisive, scholarly primer in Muslim history and an engaging personal exploration."
--The New York Times Book Review "Acutely perceptive . . . For many troubled Muslims, this book will feel like a revelation, an opening up of knowledge too long buried."
