Reviews

One of the best critical introductions to the Qur'an which sets in apposite context the latest research discussions, discourses and trends in the field... it represents a truly definitive contribution to the study of the text.'--Mustafa Shah, University of London

The best available overview of the subject...Sinai offers not only new insight into the inner structure of the Qur'an, but also a masterclass in textual analysis.'--Eric Ormsby "Times Literary Supplement"

The best book I have seen to lead critically-minded readers into the myriad issues and complexities of the Qur'an text. Its various chapters, firmly rooted in a wealth of scholarship on the Qur'an, discuss many key questions raised about and by the text, including its literary coherence, its chronology, its "closure" as a body of scripture, its textual stability, and aspects of its content: the relation to Christianity, Judaism, and paganism, its key themes, its relationship to the life of Muhammad, and much more. It will serve scholars and novices alike as an invaluable guide.'--Prof Fred M. Donner, The University of Chicago
