| "Fourteen centuries of Islamic thought have produced a legacy of interpretive readings of the Qu'ran written almost entirely by men Now with Qu'ran and Woman Amina Wadud provides a first interpretive reading by a woman a reading which validates the female voice in the Qu'ran and brings it out of the shadows Muslim progressives have long argued that it is not the religion but patriarchal interpretation and implementation of the Qu'ran that have kept women oppressed For many the way to reform is the reexamination and reinterpretation of religious texts Qu'ran and Woman contributes a gender inclusive reading to one of the most fundamental disciplines in Islamic thought Qu'ranic exegesis Wadud breaks down specific texts and key words which have been used to limit women's public and private role even to justify violence toward Muslim women revealing that their original meaning and context defy such interpretations What her analysis clarifies is the lack of gender bias precedence or prejudice in the essential language of the Qur'an Despite much Qu'ranic evidence about the significance of women gender reform in Muslim society has been stubbornly resisted Wadud's reading of the Qu'ran confirms womens equality and constitutes legitimate grounds for contesting the unequal treatment that women have experienced historically and continue to experience legally in Muslim communities The Qu'ran does not prescribe one timeless and unchanging social structure for men and women Wadud argues lucidly affirming that the Qu'ran holds greater possibilities for guiding human society to a more fulfilling and productive mutual collaboration between men and women than as yet attained by Muslims or non-Muslims"

| "Lost Christianities: The Battles for Scripture and the Faiths we Never Knew by Bart D. Ehrman (Paperback, 2005)" |
| "The early Christian Church was a chaos of contending beliefs Some groups of Christians claimed that there was not one God but two or twelve or thirty Some believed that the world had not been created by God but by a lesser ignorant deity Certain sects maintained that Jesus was human but not divine while others said he was divine but not human In Lost Christianities Bart D Ehrman offers a fascinating look at these early forms of Christianity and shows how they came to be suppressed reformed or forgotten All of these groups insisted that they upheld the teachings of Jesus and his apostles and they all possessed writings that bore out their claims books reputedly produced by Jesus's own followers Modern archaeological work has recovered a number of key texts and as Ehrman shows these spectacular discoveries reveal religious diversity that says much about the ways in which history gets written by the winners Ehrman's discussion ranges from considerations of various lost scriptures-including forged gospels supposedly written by Simon Peter Jesus's closest disciple and Judas Thomas Jesus's alleged twin brother-to the disparate beliefs of such groups as the Jewish-Christian Ebionites the anti-Jewish Marcionites and various Gnostic sects Ehrman examines in depth the battles that raged between proto-orthodox Christians- those who eventually compiled the canonical books of the New Testament and standardized Christian belief-and the groups they denounced as heretics and ultimately overcame Scrupulously researched and lucidly written Lost Christianities is an eye-opening account of politics power and the clash of ideas among Christians in the decades before one group came to see its views prevail"
