John L. Esposito
Professor of Religion and International Affairs at Georgetown
John L. Esposito is University Professor at Georgetown and founding director of its Prince Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. He has spent his career explaining Islam to Western audiences without flattening it, and much of his work is built on large-scale polling of Muslim opinion rather than assertion about it.
What Everyone Needs to Know about Islam is exactly what its title claims, structured as plain answers to the questions people actually ask, which is why it is so widely assigned.
