3 Minute Academic Soundbites (wherein I shamelessly promote good books).

Description: to read short extracts from some of my favourite academic works by authors I admire. Today's reading is from the utterly brilliant book: 'The Quran and the Secular Mind: A Philosophy of Islam' by Dr Shabbir Akhtar of Oxford University.
I hope it will whet your appetite. Buy it. Read it. Be enlightened.
