The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet. — Frederick Buechner

Walter Wagner’s 2008 book, Opening the Qur’an: Introducing Islam’s Holy Book (University of Notre Dame Press), was honored by its inclusion on the "2009 Outstanding Academic Title" list by Choice magazine, a leading source of academic book reviews in higher education.
