Reviews
"Williams is to be congratulated for drawing attention to the so far neglected Ibn Kathir, and her book nicely complements the recent work of Younus Mirza (2013 and 2014). One interesting point Williams highlights is Ibn Kathir's failure to comply with the Taymiyyan exegetical method he sets out to embrace."
