The Study Quran: A New Translation and Commentary
An accessible and accurate translation of the Quran that offers a rigorous analysis of its theological, metaphysical, historical, and geographical teachings and backgrounds, and includes extensive study notes, special introductions by experts in the field, and is edited by a top modern Islamic scholar, respected in both the West and the Islamic world.
Drawn from a wide range of traditional Islamic commentaries, including Sunni and Shia sources, and from legal, theological, and mystical texts, The Study Quran conveys the enduring spiritual power of the Quran and offers a thorough scholarly understanding of this holy text.
Beautifully packaged with a rich, attractive two-color layout, this magnificent volume includes essays by 15 contributors, maps, useful notes and annotations in an easy-to-read two-column format, a timeline of historical events, and helpful indices. With The Study Quran, both scholars and lay readers can explore the deeper spiritual meaning of the Quran, examine the grammar of difficult sections, and explore legal and ritual teachings, ethics, theology, sacred history, and the importance of various passages in Muslim life.
With an introduction by its general editor, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, here is a nearly 2,000-page, continuous discussion of the entire Quran that provides a comprehensive picture of how this sacred work has been read by Muslims for over 1,400 years.

this would be very useful indeed. Another Qur'an translation along with summaries of their commentaries are the way we will understand how Muslims have traditionally read and interpreted their texts. We need a larger Muslim-Christian relations library in Logos due to the world we now live in!!! So this would be a very important addition, more than tens of thousands of other titles.

Given Thomas Powers' comment, seems like the reluctance is on Logos' end of things. But this would be a fantastic resource.

I'd affirm this suggestion! How can I add another "vote" or encouragement for the Logos gnomes to code the book over to Logos. I talked with the book editor at Harper Collins, Mickey Maudlin, and he'd love to have Logos pick up this book.
