An excellent book, clear, comprehensive, and well-argued throughout...for anyone interested in this aspect of the Qur’an this monograph is going to be an important addition to the literature...If the book has one merit above others, and it has many merits, it is in the close reading that Harvey gives to the text and the very varied sources of interpretation on which he draws; it really is an exercise in hermeneutic virtuosity.
