"Providing an overview of Islam's 1,400-year history, Hans Kung examines its fundamental beliefs and practices, outlines the major schools of thought, and surveys the positions of Islam on the urgent questions of the day. Deft, assured, and comprehensive, this is a sympathetic assessment of Islam by a renowned Christian theologian."--Jacket.

Catholic theologian Küng's aim is to promote discourse between religions and to show ways in which it can be done. He is a profound thinker, and his writing is never a quick read. For those who are willing to put some thought into the subject, the book is very worthwhile.
