In about the time it takes to watch a professional sports event, you can comprehend the Koran. Since the Koran is famously known to be unreadable, how can this be?
The Koran found in the bookstore is not the historical Koran of Mohammed. The original Koran was a story that unfolded as Mohammed’s life situations changed. The bookstore Koran is arranged by length of chapter, not time. The bookstore Koran has no time, no Mohammed and no story. Therefore, it makes no sense.
Using statistical methods to select the verses, the Two-Hour Koran has woven Mohammed’s life back into the Koran itself. Now the verses have context and meaning. Everything is in the right order and the original story has been restored.
Once you have read A Two-Hour Koran, you can pick up a bookstore Koran and understand what you are reading.
A Two Hour Koran A Taste of Islam Book 1 edition by Bill Warner Religion Spirituality eBooks
Doctor Warner does not need to spell out what you will find in the Koran; neither does he. He takes very good care to let the Koran tell you all about itself by itself. The verses are carefully arranged so that it becomes clear how its content shaped political islam and how political islam shaped its content. The two are so strongly intertwined that there is no discernible difference. Indeed, for all practical purposes the two are one and the same thing.As an added bonus, the narrative clearly shows how the verses helped the prophet Mohammed fulfill his short-term goals, such as goading his followers to the battlefield, justifying the stealing of someone else's wife, intimidating opponents into submitting to his will, having multiple wives, imposing his will on them etc. One might almost start to believe that the Koran was written for the purpose of serving Mohammed's own agenda.
Clear into mind comes the passage where Mohammed's secretary was put on a deathlist for being an apostate to the religion. His reason for doing so; on writing down the revelations of the prophet, the prophet regularly accepted the secretary's improvements to his own texts. This caused the secretary to lose faith in the true nature of islam. Surely the Koran was not all made up, was it?
Overall, a quick and revealing introduction-level work into the Koran. Strongly recommended, especially for those islam apologists who so seldom show any real knowledge of the work at the center of the ideology.

A Two Hour Koran A Taste of Islam Book 1 edition by Bill Warner Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
I think of myself as a slow reader. I got this done in just over 2 hours. I have passed this to a few others to read. We all thought the same thing..."wow". Good job Mr Warner.
This is an objective book on how to read the Koran. I read the Koran last year. Then I found this helpful booklet as a guide to re-read the Koran (which is organized by chapter length). This book discusses the smattering of a few stories scrambled from the Torah, Prophets mentioned in the Old Testament, (remember this timeframe in within the 700s a.d.) it mentions people in the New Testament, and also teachings in the Persian Zoroasterism. This is a good reference should you wish to know about how Mohammed conquered other tribes, including Arabs who differed, subjugated other peoples, Jews and Christians, took their wealth, accession used based upon Ezekiel and Jesus Christ. Not necessary as some claim, to be read in Arabic to be understood from a pure learning perspective rather than worship - after all we laymen don't use Hebrew to read the Old Testament, or Greek to read the New Testament. To understand how Islam treats women and Kafirs, this is an excellent booklet. Be sure to check out [...] from Bill Warner's commentaries and other books available in this series.
Easy to read but not simplistic. This book will give you the basics of Islam's support of slavery and its hand in slavery since its inception. Everyone needs to have concise accurate info on Islam to understand world, national and most likely local events to evaluate correctly what you are hearing.
You need to understand the Quran has two parts and it still incomplete for Islamic doctrinal guidance.
This book simplified the Koran. Islam is overwhelming our multi cultural society but I couldn't understand why until I read this book. It also made it crystal clear to me that it is a faith perfect for hooligans and marauders derived from Judaism, Christianity and Arabic values, used to confuse the vulnerable and reward tyrants. The most eye opening thing to me was Mohammed himself, an anti-Christ if there ever was one.
Dr. Warner's makes the hardest part of Islam to understand easy.
If you want college level theology classes, read all of Dr. Warner's books and watch his videos on YouTube. I learned more about Islam or free (or very cheap) from him than I did from a $32,000 a year religious school. He changed my mind - that rarely happens. Like him, I've yet to find anyone who can disprove his facts or logic, yet many still reject his conclusions. It is sad to see ideology triumph over academics.
I appreciate that his presentation is both historical and Humanist.
The material is very good and well written. There is a fair amount of overlap with other books by the same author which I have read, and thus not too much info is new. If you have never read any of the books by the author, this would be a good introduction.
I read this "Cliff Notes" version of the Koran, then I reread it and underlined significant passages. My thought, since 9/11, is that main stream conventional wisdom didn't really tell us a true picture of Islam. What did we all learn in College about the Koran? Academia has told us the Koran is just like the Bible. Educated adults that I have encountered have said the same thing for the last forty years. There is an overlap, but to say the two books are just alike is poor scholarship. The story of Moses is mentioned 39 times in the Koran. I find it particularly instructive that the Koran's telling of the role of Jesus. " The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary is only Allah's messenger". Therefore the role of Jesus, according to the Koran, is to announce the coming of Mohammed in the 7th century. "Far be it from Allah to have a son." These means that Christians, according to the Koran, have their scripture in error. In the Koran there is one set of rules for the Muslim believer and a different set of rules for the unbeliever. Therefore there is no "Golden Rule" in Islam. I have three books by the premier scholar of the middle east, Bernard Lewis. The writings of Bernard Lewis are a trusted source for people of the middle east. He provides good information, but in a way that is very sympathetic to the Muslim community. Overall it seems the facts of Islam that Academia has presented to us are "sugar coated." The author. Bill Warner, identifies these Academics as apologists. I think Bill is right on the money.
