Understanding the Islamic Experience

Theologian and Islamic scholar John Renard has written here a concise and readable work that demystifies Islam for the everyday reader. Engagingly, he approaches the world of Islam spiritually and experientially, using the image of "journey" or "pilgrim path" as his metaphor. He explores the three paradigmatic journeys of Muhammad while answering questions and clarifying many of the troubling issues non-Muslims ask about Islam. This work was previously published as In the Footsteps of Muhammad.

Noteworthy, this book:

--explores Islam from a spiritual point of view.

--is authored by a one of the foremost names in Islamic studies.

--is valuable reading in trying times.
