Carl W. Ernst 
How to Read the Qur’an [EPUB ebook] 
A New Guide, with Select Translations

For anyone, non-Muslim or Muslim, who wants to know how to approach, read, and understand the text of the Qur’an,
How to Read the Qur’an offers a compact introduction and reader’s guide. Using a chronological reading of the text according to the conclusions of modern scholarship, Carl W. Ernst offers a nontheological approach that treats the Qur’an as a historical text that unfolded over time, in dialogue with its audience, during the career of the Prophet Muhammad.
