A rather beautiful account of the birth and evolution of Islam ... Lucid and illuminating ... Fascinating

A revelation
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown
A revelation, an opening up of knowledge too long buried, denied and corrupted by generations of men ... Muslim keepers of the latter will rage against Reza Aslan as his careful scholarship and precise language dismantles their false claims and commands ... Aslan is acutely perceptive
The Independent
Acutely perceptive . . . For many troubled Muslims, this book will feel like a revelation, an opening up of knowledge too long buried
The Independent
Aslan is a superb narrator, bringing each century to life with vivid details and present tense narration that makes popular history so enthralling... A terrific read
Glasgow Herald
Aslan is an engaging writer, his strength lies ... as an observer of contemporary challenges facing Islam ... Sensitive and generous
FT Magazine
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
Beautiful [and] fascinating
Metro
Enthralling. A book of tremendous clarity and generosity of spirit
Jim Crace
Grippingly narrated and thoughtfully examined . . . a literate, accessible introduction to Islam
The New York Times
Outstandingly useful ... always balanced, vivid and readable
The Independent
Thoroughly engaging and excellently written . . . While [Aslan] might claim to be a mere scholar of the Islamic Reformation, he is also one of its most articulate advocates
The Oregonian
Truly illuminating
AS Byatt, The Guardian
Wise and passionate . . . an incisive, scholarly primer in Muslim history and an engaging personal exploration
The New York Times Book Review
