This title is available as a Book and CD. "Approaching the
Qur''an" is a major event in religious publishing. Professor Michael
Sells has captured the complexity, power, and poetry of the early
suras of the Qur''an, the sacred scripture of Islam. "Approaching
the Qur''an" presents brilliant translations of the short, hymnic
chapters, or suras, associated with the first revelations to the
Prophet Muhammad. Most of these early revelations appear at the end
of the written text and are commonly reached only by the most
resolute reader of existing English translations. These suras
contain some of the most powerful prophetic and revelatory passages
in religious history. They offer the vision of a meaningful and
just life that anchors the religion of one-fifth of the world''s
inhabitants. "Approaching the Qur''an" is enriched by the inclusion
of a compact disc recording of Quranic reciters chanting several of
the early suras, allowing readers an opportunity to hear the Qur''an
in its original form. The book includes Sells'' ''Introduction to the
Qur''an'', commentaries of the suras, a glossary of technical terms,
and chapters discussing the sound nature and gender aspects of the
Arabic text.
