The Qur'an and its Biblical Subtext by Gabriel Said Reynolds

The Qur'an and its Biblical Subtext by Gabriel Said Reynolds

Traditionally the Quran has been interpreted through medieval commentaries shaped by the biography of the prophet Muhammad. This book presents the Muslim holy book in light of its conversation with Jewish and Christian scripture, challenging the dominant scholarly method of reading the Qur'an.

"This is a serious and well-argued book, it presents a powerful thesis which if it is true will have important implications for how we study the Qur'anIt is consistent throughout and the author's use of sources is invariably judicious and intelligent." - Oliver Leanman, Department of Philosophy, University of Kentucky, USA; Journal of Shi'a Islamic Studies Spring 2011: Vol. IV No.2

"Another timely scholarly contribution as a part of the Routledge Studies in the Qur’ān series... This book would be a great resource for scholars of Western religious traditions, graduate and or upper level undergraduate students." - Majid Daneshgar; Al Bayan, VOLUME 11, NUMBER 1, JUNE 2013
