To many Arab and non-Arab believers alike, the book literally defies translation, yet English translations are growing in both number and importance. Bruce Lawrence tells the remarkable story of the centuries-long quest to translate the \u003ci\u003eQur'an'\u003c\/i\u003es lyrical verses--and to make English itself an Islamic language. A translation saga like no other, this panoramic book looks at cyber \u003ci\u003eKoran\u003c\/i\u003es, versions by feminist translators, and even a graphic \u003ci\u003eQur'an\u003c\/i\u003e by the acclaimed visual artist Sandow Birk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce B.
