DeLong-Bas has drawn upon her rich experiences as a teacher and scholar to produce an outstanding textbook on Islam. This accessible and well-written work is informed by current scholarship and includes many features that make it an attractive resource for the classroom. In particular, the study questions and recommended readings and films provide opportunities to further explore the many important issues that are addressed in each chapter. Its title Islam: A Living Faith captures well one of the great strengths of this book—it both introduces the reader to the rich history and traditions of Islam and explains how that heritage is being expressed and lived out by Muslims today.
