<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2693426, member: 83956&quot;]Reza Aslan, <i>No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam. </i>I devoured the first half of this book, but I am now getting bogged down in Islamic juristic traditions in the second half. I can&#039;t confidently recommend this book; I think Aslan is too quick to opt for interpretations that make Islam more palatable to Western readers, though he might openly acknowledge that that&#039;s part of the goal. However, I *can* recommend it if it&#039;s one of multiple books on Islam you might read. Indeed, I have learned a great deal from this book. I just think it would be a mistake to make this the *only* book one reads on the topic. Perhaps that&#039;s true for any work about a controversial subject.</p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>[ATTACH=full]604653[/ATTACH] </i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
