‘The Qur’an: A Bibliography’ is one of the first titles in the ‘Books that Changed the World’ series by Atlantic Press. Lawrence’s work provides an interesting overview and enlightening discussion of the Qur’an. Bruce Lawrence is a professor of Islamic Studies at Duke University in the United States.
