Reviews
"[Rahman] is a mature thinker, at once well informed and basically realistic about the reigning myths of modern secularist society. He is also a clear writer capable of disarming simplicity and tightly reasoned, technically detailed argument." - Patrick D. Gaffney, Journal of Religion "An event that needs to be given close attention. What is more, the book would seem to deserve attention for another reason: its aim to provide an introduction to the content of the Qur'an, something which most would agree has been sorely lacking until now." - Andrew Rippin, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies "Here is a painstaking and positive effort to think through the Qur'an beyond the verse by verse, tediously grammatical, scrutiny which many have employed in past centuries." - Kenneth Cragg, Middle East Journal"
