Drs. Kaskas’ and Hungerford’s underlying motivation for the translation and inclusion of the extensive footnotes are not intended to promote a particular school of Islam or Christian apologetics. These exist in abundance. Their goal is to build bridges of better understanding; undermine radicalism and enlighten ignorance. This powerful instrument offers Muslims and Christians a fresh insight on the “straight path†to reconciling with God and man; sorely needed and missing from other translations.

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. For all the divers out there...By J Astore Jr.I read in the recent DIVER (Canadian) magazine an article on a wreck found in 1998 off the coast of Belitung Island (east of Sumatra) and its contents of numerous examples of Tang pottery and gold/silver metalwork. This book accompanies a traveling exhibition of the pieces recovered from the wreck which date to ca. 825-850 during the Tang and Abbasid Empires and the artifacts recovered subseqently rewrote history; evidencing an Indian Ocean maritime route for which no artifacts have so far been able to confirm.I ordered the book right after reading the article. It's a small book; some 25 pages of real text; the other half pictures. Very worth it if you're into underwater archaeology/diving and/or interested in less-studied regions of world history.
