"His analysis of the texts he examines is thorough and insightful, and he has a fine eye for quranic allusions and echoes. In the process, he convincingly demonstrates that the authors he discusses have brought the Quran into their Bible-related work. . . . These six snapshots of various moments in the relationship between the Bible and the Quran provide an important corrective in that they remind us that, like all relationships, this one has been a two-way street. One direction of that road, the one that considers the Bible's possible influence on the Islamic text, has been well traveled. Einboden is to be commended and thanked for pointing us in the opposite direction so we can better appreciate the Qurans role in shaping how the biblical literature has been presented and understood. He is an able and informative tour guide on this fascinating journey." --Kaltner, John, Rhodes College, Memphis, TN, American Journal of Islam and Society
