À propos de cet audio

 Though it is the fastest growing religion in the world, Islam remains shrouded by ignorance and fear. What is the essence of this ancient faith? Is it a religion of peace or war? How does Allah differ from the God of Jews and Christians? Can an Islamic state be founded on democratic values such as pluralism and human rights? A writer and scholar of comparative religions, Reza Aslan has earned international acclaim for the passion and clarity he has brought to these questions. In No god but God, challenging the "clash of civilizations" mentality that has distorted our view of Islam, Aslan explains this critical faith in all its complexity, beauty, and compassion.

Contrary to popular perception in the West, Islam is a religion firmly rooted in the prophetic traditions of the Jewish and Christian scriptures. Aslan begins with a vivid account of the social and religious milieu in which the Prophet Muhammad lived. The revelations that Muhammad received in Mecca and Medina, which were recorded in the Quran, became the foundation for a radically more egalitarian community, the likes of which had never been seen before.

According to Reza Aslan, we are now living in the era of "the Islamic Reformation". No god but God is a persuasive and elegantly written account of the roots of this reformation and the future of Islamic faith.

Essential read for all!

Having listened to this right after zealot, since I thoroughly enjoyed it, it is clear that Reza has favored one faith over the other. That is fine, his perogative. Not that he really criticized Jesus, since so little is known about him, but he did lambast Paul. Perhaps for good reason. I found Zealot to be a truly illuminating book, since I grew up as a Christian. Well, Im not about to spend 1000 hours, as he may have, to research and verify every detail, so I must rely on more subtle clues to see how fair he is to one story or another. Particularly it's his apologistic attitude toward Mohammads caravan raids and 'completely legalistic and innocent' marriage to a child that struck me. Look, times have changed, we can all acknowledge that. But let's not pretend that caravan raids are not barbaric and robbery, and that he most likely boinked his child bride a few times.

Great listening, but apologetic to be sure.
