Critics Review
With misunderstanding comes great fear. “Understanding Islam” is a reprinting and revised translation of Frithjof Schuon’s previous work surrounding the nature of Islam and why it has attracted a billion and a half followers. World renown for its scholarly nature that sheds light on this controversial faith, this updated edition contains 77 pages of new material, editor’s notes, glossaries, and more. “Understanding Islam” is a core and much recommended addition to community and college religious studies collections.
