The Quran

Right now I’m reading No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam by Reza Aslan, and I think that one of my goals for this coming summer will be to read the entire Quran. No, I’m not apostatizing from the Church, and yes, this will be in addition to my regular study of the scriptures. I just think it will be beneficial to have a better understanding of Muhammad’s teaching and how they differ from some of the practices of fundamentalist Islamic sects. So, if anyone can suggest a good English translation of the Quran, please let me know — my Arabic is horrible.
